solons' Salary Causes Trouble.

Denver.-The constitutional amend.
ment, changing the method of paying
members of the State Senate and
House of Representatives. is causing
all kinds Of trouble for State Auditor
NJ. A. Leddy. The thing looks all
right, but when It comes to putting 1t
into effect, that's another matter.
The amendment makes the salary OF
senators and representatives $1,000 for
the biennial period in which they
serve. Formerly they were paid 81
per day, also mileage and expenses.
One of the principal questions that
has arisen is whether Of not holdoyer
senators should be paid under the new
Or the old regulations.

RESULTS OF COUNTRYWIDE IN.
vEsTlGATIoN BY UNCLE
SAM.

New iork.-A countrywide investi
CATION which the Treasury Depart
ment has started has disclosed dis
crepancies in the wrapper and filler
statistics OF tobacco imports from
Cuba, which have deprived the gov,
ernment of between $3,OOO,OOO and
$5,OOO,OOO annually for the last five
years. Statisticians show that cigar.
makers who turn out pure Havana ci
gars must have six per cent. Of their
stock in wrapper" while the stats.
tics for the Treasury Department
show a fraction under one.fifth of one
per cent. Of the Cuban importations
classified as wrapper" and paying
duty as such.
Advance reports on this investiga.
tion show, 1t Is said, that Cuban i'm.
portations have been admitted under
a classification which in the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1909, deprived
the customs house of 100000 to S..
100000.
1t was said by treasury officials
that approximately the same sum had
been lost to the government annually
for at least five years.
From the investigation thus far, 1t
was the belief this loss was matter
of long established trade custom,
rather than Of frauds.
Collector Loeb Is quoted as saying
1--WE knew that the tobacco trade has
been getting the best of us, but we dc
not know to what extent; and the in
vestgation has not proceeded far
enough to determine"
The probable result of the inquiry,
Mr.. Loeb continued, would be an
amendment to the customs regula-
tions, by which the custom house
could arrive closer at the amount Of
each class of tobacco leaf imported
from Cuba than was possible under
the present regulations, and that at
this stage Of the investigation neither
criminal prosecutions nor civil suits
for back duties we're contemplated
1t is an open secret that thousands
of pounds of Havana leaf which in tho
words OF the tariff law Is Suitable
for wrappers" and actually is used as
such, are brought into the country un
der the classification OF filler" at
sl.2O less duty pound than should be
paid on everything used for wrappers.

Denver.-The possibility of passing
some Of the platform pledges before a

Mccormick is employed by George
Murdoch. prominent sheepman.
Murdock's sheep range over the
great Red Desert" which. instead OF
being desert, is one OF the finest
sheep ranges in the world. While out
In this great plain Mccormick and his
big herd OF three thousand sheep we're
overtaken by bowling blizzard OF
wind. snow and sleet As is usual
during such storms. the sheep immedi-
ately turned their tails TO the wind
and drifted with the storm. despite
the Efforts Of Mccormick and his dog
TO prevent the animals from going too
far from their range. For three days
The band drifted. the herder and dog
trying all the time to stop the animals,
which moved slowly IN q great body
before the wind.
Mccormick had no food with him.
and thereswas no way TO cook It even
had he been supplied. On the open
prairie he was unable to procure any
lnhammable substance. He dared not
lie down 10 rest or sleep for fear Of
losing bis sheep as well as from fear
OF being frozen to death.
On the evening Of the third day the
storm abated and the sheep came to
standstin. many miles from water or
range. Mccormick knew his life de-
pended absolutely upon his ability to
reach camp, and although now three
days without food. water, fire or rest
he started on the return trip. driving
bis sheep before him. At the end OF
another two days the aged sheep herd
er arrived at the camp and was taken
in charge by his companions. During
the i've days he had sucked snow for
water and had gone entirely without
food, rest. sleep or FIRE. His face.
hands and feet were frozen. Sur
geons report that he will live.
Ae0ut one thousand OF the sheep
we're missing. but these were rounded
up by other employees and brought 70
camp. McCormick's feat is looked
upon as one OF the most extraordi
nary instances Of endurance ever
known in Wyoming.
