MARKING OLD TRAIL.

Lawton, Okla, Sept. Now that
the idea of marking old trails has
been started IN Oklahoma, Frank
Rush. supervisor of the Wichita ma
tional forest has started an effort TO
secure from the federal government
an appropriation sufficient to mark
the old Mcclellan trail through the
Wichita mountains.
General George E. Mcclellan, head
of all the federal armies during a
part of the civil war, then a captain
in the engineering corps of the army,
accompanied the Red river expedition
headed by Captain r. B. Marcy in
1862, and was among the band OF
first white men to penetrate above
the mouth of Cache creek.
The expedition proceeded to the
head waters of Red river and, on the
return trip, passed through the Wich
ita mountain district, camping out
once Just north of Mount Scott, which
was named at that time for General
Winfield Scott, and again on the pres
ent site of old Fort Sill.

ing for their animals, meat prices
maintain their old high standard. II
is said by Mr. Lasater that either
the packers are receiving a very eX-
orbitlnt profit or there is an illesi.-
innate gain going to the middleman
in the sale OF meats.
The members OF the Texas Cattle
Raisers' Association desire whateve"
legitimate profit there may be in the
industry TO be fairly distributed, and
if A middle ground can he reached
whereby the prices Of cattle can be
raised and those of meats reduced,
the resul, will be OF vast benefit to
the whole country.
The Fort Worth meeting Is eX-
uected to be only preliminary to the
fight that is to he waged. What plans
will be adopted at that meeting are
! as vet problematical but it is con
sdered not improbable that it may
lead 20 a national meeting to dea

MARKERS FOR SOLDIER GRAVES

The United States government
has provided 100000 markers for
the graves Of soldiers. From two
marble quarries one at Lee. Mass.
and one at Rutland. Vt. all these
tombstones have been taken. Lee
has furnished 100000 markers in
the last thirty-five years and is
turning out gravestones at the
rate of 10000 a year.
Each marker is three feet long,
one foot wide and four inches
thick and weighs 200 pounds. Just
under the round top is outlined an
inlaid shield and within this are
cut the name. age. company rank
and regiment of the soldier, sailor
or marine whose grave it is to
mark.
From two quarry pits at Lee
these stones are taken. On the
grounds at the quarry they arc
cut, polished. marked and Grated
for shipment t. central distri.
buting point. A force of twenty
men is constantly employed ly
contractor. who obtains his con-
tract In competition scmi-annually
from the government.
A block of marble by 3 feet is
the average size used for head
stones. 1t is run into the mill on
short truck and fastened under
gang of saws, which slowly
descend with swinging motion
and cut through it. Then the
block is rolled out chained to.
gether turned over and sent
through the same process again.
The saws are simple bands of iron
an eight Of an inch thick, and the
cutting Is done by sand which is
we'll wet and kept dripping on the
work.
The next process is coping or
rounding one end IF the marker
and smoothing it by ginding by
sand and water on a revolving iron
table. Then the marker is ready
for lettering or numbering.
A government Inspector tx.
amines every headstone and con-
dennis all that have flaws Or dis
celebration or are wrongly letter cd.
The discarded stones are in the
main good marble, and worhmen
cut than up into what are known as
marble bricks, which arc used for
building purposes.
Application blanks for head.
stones arc sent out from tn.
quartefmaster generals office.
Any deceased soldier, sailor.
marine, nurse or scout whoserved
under regular enlistment may have
his last resting place marked by
the government on request Of a
relative, Grand Army post or a
private citizen.
The stones are shipped usually
by the carload to certain distribut-
ing points named by the war de.
partment. For the New England
states Boston is the distributing
place, New York for the middle
states, Chicago for the middle
west. Denver, San Francisco,
Atlanta and Houston Tex. are
other points of shipment.
Washington has received the
greatest number of these markers.

COLORADO IS
NOT A STATE
Department Of Justice Makes Claim
in Suit lust Filed.
TROUBLE OVER WATER RIGHTS
II Is said That Constitution of State
Has Never Been Accepted by
conOress-Much Depends
Upon Final Decision.

Denver, Sept. 11.-That Colorado
never was admitted to the Union IN
the manner provided for by the con-
stitution, and Is therefore not entitled
to the rights of statehood, Is charged
by the department Of justice in Q
suit Just filed In the state district
court by the United States district at
torney, Mr.. Ward.
The governments startling allega-
ton is made in a suit between people
of the eastern and western slope OF
Colorado. Those Of the western slope
have asked the courts to prevent
diversion of water flowing westward
from the summit Of the Continental
divide, by means Of tunnels, for irrl-
CATION of lands on the eastern slope.
The government, through the United
States attorney, has interviewed in
the suit, claiming extensive rights to
power sites along the streams In
volved and full control Of all waters
not filed upon before the admission OF
Colorado. Mr. Ward asserts that as
Colorado is still territory, under the
constitution, all water filings since
1876, the year Of admission. are void
In outlining the position he Will
take, Mr.. Ward states that all OF the
unappropriated water of the river be-
longs to the government, as well as
1900 feet filed on by the United
States in 1902, for irrigation pur'
poses. In addition to this he ad
vances the claim that the constitution
Of the Centennial state has never
been accepted by the congress OF the
United States. ...
Mr.. Ward maintains that even Il
congress had ratified the state consu
tuition, the government owns all the
unappropriated water flowing through
government land that has not beer
appropriated and converted to bene
fetal use.
Upon the final decision rests tn
fate of many large and small irriga
ton enterprises and If the actua
transfer Of water from the western
slope is attempted the federal attor
ney will undoubtedly ask for an In
junction on the ground that the gov
eminent is already in possession o
the water and intends to use it on tn
western slope of the range.
