FALLS IN WITH THE IDEA
Mr.. GIimkintos Sees Great Possibility
In the Scheme Of Building
Things Over.

I'VE had the piano tuner yesterday
tuning the piano" said Mr.. Glimkintog.
and he says it will do for a few years
yet. but that really it's getting pretty
we'll worn out and 1t ought to be made
over.
We've had that piano now 22
years; two children have learned to
play on 1t, and have pounded on it
continuously ever since with naturally
steadily increasing strength and i'm
pact, and the wonder to me is that it
has lasted so long. 1t still preserves
Its sweetness of tone. but the tuner
says that in a few years now it ought
to be rebuilt
The case is all right, he says, and
the sounding board: all it needs is Just
new works. You put new works in that
piano, he says. and refinish the case.
and at cost of maybe $3.50 or 5000
you'd have piano worth $500. abso-
lutely as good as new
Il don't doubt that that is so: I
only wish that men could be made
over in the same way | know of one
somewhat oldish man who has all his
life been subjected to more or less
wear, and who, though he may still
show some sweetness of tone, is at the
same time. beyond all doubt, some.
what worn. Now suppose you could
send this old man to some place where
tney make over men, where they
would put new works in him and re-
finish his case to give him the appear
ance of youth. What a fine thing II
would be if there was factory like
that to which men could be sent, This
man | speak of would be willing to
give considerable more than 5000 to
be thus rebuilt
But we're going to have the old
piano made over, anyway"

Issues Report on
Secretary Wilson's Order.

In his report on the order of Sec
retary Wilson regarding the dipping
of Colorado cattle before shipping
out of the state, Charles G. Lamb,
State Veterinarian says in his let
ter to Governor Shafroth:
when this board was created by
the law of 1903, scabbies was ex-
tremely prevalent among the cattle
on the eastern ranges, a large per-
centage of nearly every bunch of
cattle being affected and no conser-
ted, and very little spasmodic action
being taken to eradicate it.
The first board of 1903 and 1904
Issued regulations requiring the dip
ping of all cattle in the infected
area within a certain specified time
and similar orders were issued to
succeeding boards for a number of
years, and in accordance with these
regulations, thousands of cattle We're
dipped each year, and as a result
the disease has been very materially
decreased, until today instead of
large percentage of nearly every
bunch of cattle bein affected, a
small percentage of comparatively
few punches IS affected, the contin-
ued existence of the disease being
due to three causes.
First the absolute impossible
ity of gathering at one time, every
animal on the open range for dip
ping resulting in a certain number
OF infected cattle being undipped and
remaining on the range and rein
fecting the dipped cattle.
"Second-The practice of some
cattlemen in dipping their cattle in
an Indifferent manner merely to ap-
pear to comply with the regulations.
AS a result the cattle were not
cured, but turned out to further
spread the disease.
-'Third-A certain percentage of
cattlemen who absolutely refused to
dip their cattle or comply with any
dipping regulation of the board and
defied the board to enforce their
regulations.
1.-TWO parties were arrested and
prosecuted for their refusal or ne
glect to comply with the regulations.
In both cases the lower courts de-
cided that the board could not issue
any regulations, the violation of
which would constitute a misdemea-
nor. The board appealed one of
these cases to the supreme court,
where it now is. If it is decided
against the board, it will be a very
serious handicap in combating this
or any other disease.
"In spite of very imperfect laws,
the efforts have very greatly i'm
proved the condiionst as regards
scabbies in cattle on the western
ranges as compared with five, or
even three years ago, and with a
proper law, which this board will en-
deavor to- have enacted, we feel
sure the disease would be eradicat-
ed in couple of years at most.
'In view of the improved condi-
tion, we feel that the imposition of
a quarantine upon the state, or any
portion of it would mean great finan
cial loss, and ruin in many cases to
the stockmen, and that such action
at this time by the United States
Department of Agriculture, would
lie unjust and unwarranted. We feel
that such action should at least be
postponed until such time as this
board can prepare and have passed
q law giving it power to deal with
these matters, and trust the mat
ter may be presented to the Hon
orable Secretary of Agriculture in
such manner that he Will concede
that such course would be the
proper and just one"

NE WYORK, Special.-New York
today is facing an air mystery stranger

of the identity of the aviator who flew
over the city, circling the Metropoli-

quiries today at the headquarters of

sons including policemen. The throb
of the engine was audible before the
strange craft sailed away.
The night flight over the city, ac-

a remarkable fashion how helpless

great city is under the present condi-
tons.
