BEEF WILL Be
HIGHER IN PRICE

The price of beef will be
higher this winter than it h a.
been in the history of the United
States. declared M. v. Irwin, live
stock agent of the Rock Island,
in an interview published in the
Salt Lake Telegram a few DAYS
ag,. Mr.. Irwin bases his state
m.Gt on condition as he has found
them during the last few weeks in
the stock raising districts of the
west and southwest.
The wholesale price of beef has
already BEEN advanced in the east. "
he said. land it will surely be fol.
lowed, by other advances which
will affect al! kinds of meat. No
one is to blame for this advance
nor for those which will follow
The packing houses are not max.
ing any more money at the ad-
vanced prices than they were max.
ing before. the stock raiser is not
making any more. and neither is
the man who is selling hay and
grain.
1.-The whole trouble is due to a
big crop shortage, which has been
caused by drought, and which has
affected all the stock raising
districts to a more or less extent.
ITO begin with, there is a big
shortage in the corn crop. one that
will amount to millions OF
bushels. This is the principal
feed used for the fattening of
cattle. There is also big shortage
in the oat and wheat crop to say
Iothing of the shortage in the hay
and grass crop.
"ln some of the stock raising
districts it has been necessary for
the stockmen to drive their stock
long distances to secure enough
food to keep them alive, to say
nothing of trying to get them in
condition for market.
"All kinds of hay is high, and
there is no prospect that there
will be a drop. as there is not
nearly enough to feed the stock
now ranging in the west and
southwest.
1.-The situation is extremely
critical, and | can see nothing for

Of meat next fall, winter and

persons in Northern Nevada last
winter and were afterward ex-
terminated in battle with posses
of whites. has been received by
SheriffSmith of Alturas county, who
was a leader in the battle in which
the Indians were killed.
The war plume is of long flaming
red cloth with crown of eagles

the long, red streamer, which
when worn. hangs from the crest

ARSON SUSPECT. ri ARRESTED

Sherln Harris and party re.
turLed Thursday afternoon from
investigating the burning of Mr..
Carville's barns in Mound Valley.
In an interview with the Indep en-
dent last night Sheriff Harris said
that he spent nearly two days in
investigating the fire and was
unable to find any tracks leading
10 and from the fire or any other
tangible clew that pointed to any
one. but from the actions of E. N.
Hansen, Swede who worked for
Mr.. White on the ranch, he came
to the conclusion that the. Swede
was the guilty party. Several
others who had assisted in the in
vestigation came to the same con-
clusion. This suppicion was based
on the action of the Swede at the
first fire, remarks he had droppe d
and his hardness in getting to the
last fire
1t was remembered that the
Swele discovered the first fire and
gave the alarm and that he was
fully dressed; that he wore a pair
of new shoes at the fire and that
they were fully laced land that he
had not worn the shoes since.
When Mr.. White discovered the
second fire, he called his son who
rushed out and called the Swede
but ne received no. answer. The
boy went to the barn and drove
out the horses and threw two sets
of harness and several saddles out
of the barn and while throwing
the saddles. the Swedt appeared in
his barefeet and only partly
dressed and that no one saw where
he came froa.
When these suspicious were
made known to Mr.. White he was
loath to believe them as he
thought a good deal Of the Swede.
Thursday morning Sheriff Harris,
Ted Carville and Indian was out
early and made another search for
tracks. While they were out Mr..
White started to town with the
Swede.
Last nigth Mr.. White, Sheriff
Harris and District Attorney
Dysart went into the matter
thoroughly and decided to arrest
the Swede.
Hansen was arrested this morn
ing and will be held until his
record IL Investigated. 'r',7 .i
1t talking with Sheriff Harris
this morning Hansen stated that
he had nothing to do with setting
fire to the building or the hey
stacks, and said that he had no i'll
feeling toward Mr.. White for
making the arrest. He gave the
Sheriff referen ces and all informa.
ton that would lead to an investi-
cation of his past and asked that
he no furnod looSo ar am nc
possible.
Hansen has been working at
Mr.. Whites ranch about a month,
and is a stranger in this Part #
the country. Neithe- the Sheriff
nor Mr.. White feel certain that he
is the guilty party and no motif
can he ascribed.

HASTEN LAWSUIT IN
CASE OF SALE OF
WASHINGTON SWORD
Baltimore Litigants Want
Money ]. P. Morgan Paid
to Miss Lewis.

BALTIMORE, Md. April 2o.-Eforts
are being made to bring to trial the
suit which involves the proceeds from
the sale of George WashingtCn's sword
to J. Pierpont Morgan.
The action at law which followed, was
based on the contention made by Ira
pier S. Lewis, a nephew of Washing
tons aide-de-camp. that the relic which
he says was given to his ancestors at
the close of the Revolution, did not be-
long to Miss Virginia Tayloe Lewis,
who, as administrator of the estate of
Capt. Henry Holowell Lewis. Of the
United States and Confederate navies,
made the sale.
The sword was presented to Mt. Yer
non by Mr.. Morgan. who was said TO
have paid for II, amC units varying from
the 5000, quoted officially, to SIS. .OO0,
which rumor said was the real price.
For more than a year the suit has
lain dormant in circuit court No. 2, be-
cause of the courts inability to serve
all parties to the suit.
The petitioners will now, however. 1t
is said. petition the court to allow no
more time TO elapse. but to make the
absent party, patty defendant to the
suit. and so give notice Of the coming
nearing of the case.
The bill filed with the suit, alleged
that the sword, which is the one worn
hy General Washington when he re-
signed his commission as head OF the
army of the United States, did not be-
long to Miss Lewis. but had been part
of the estate of which she was admin
istratrix. The plaintiffs claimed a part
of the proceeds. and asked the court
to order an accounting of the estate.

Talk Concerning Hines
Statement.

In case the Senate takes up anew the
investigation of the Lorimer case, a
strong effort will be made to get former
Senator Aldrich to testify.
Whether he testifies, of course, will
depend on the makeup of the committee
chosen to conduct the Investigation. II
a committee composed OF the friends OF
Mr.. Aldrich makes the inquiry. he will
not be subjected to any embarrass-
ment. Otherwise. he will be in danger
OF it,
Senator La Toilette, who introduced a
recent resolution for the investigation
of the Lortmer election. is insisting
through his weekly publication that Mr..
Aldrich ought to testify. Edward Hines
named Mr.. Aldrich as one of those who
were anxious to have Lorimer elected
and Senator La Toilette points out that
Aldrich has not denied 1t. Hines said
President Taft wanted Lorimer elected,
but this Mr.. Taft denies. Senator Pen
rose was drawn in along with Aldrich,
according to Hines statements.
Senator La Toilette says Aldrich is
not yet a private person, that he is still
the big figure in the plan to give the
country a central bank and a new cur
rency system. He thinks before the
country Is asked to accept so impor-
tant a piece of statecraft as the CEN
trail bank, Senator Aldrich ought to
make ii clear that he did not champion
the election of Lorfmer.
