CRAZE CATTLE
BY POUND
Kansas Pasture Leased On
Basis of Weight Gained

Stockmen will pay four cents a
pound for increase to each head
which is a more equitable rate
than rent by the acre.
A new scheme in leasing the
big pasture lands of the Kansas
Flint Hills has been put into effect
in Greenwood county, An own
er of a big tract of grazing land
in that county has taken the con
tract to pasture five hundred
Texas cattle next season on a
basis of four cents for every
pound of flesh put on the cattle
during the time they remain in
the pasture.
THAT is an entirely new
scheme" ]. H. Mercer, state
live stock sanitary commissioner,
said today in discussing the con-
tract. THE leases have been
usually on a basis of SIPS an
acre for grass land or the own
ers would take so many head of
cattle for the season at from
ST. to So head. The price
has beeu going up every year
and most of the leases last year
were at 81 so a head. l don't
see why the new basis will not
be a good one. With weather
conditions about as usual it ought
to bring little more money to
the land owners than the pres
ent pasture prices and it ought
to be little more equitable to
the owner of the cattle also as
they would not have to pay lib
eral prices when the pasture is
not of the best. "
Land owners figure that with
an ordinary summer the pasture
lands would net the owners about
ten and possibly twelve dollars a
head for the five or six months
of the season.

The "Net"

is the name of the big fifteen thousand
dollar serial story which will appear in
the Weekly Kansas Citv Star soon, for

nounced the greatest this popular nov
elist has written, will not be published
as a book until it has run serially in
this newspaper.
The theme is the Italian Malta, and
against that sinister background the
author has thrown the softer cclors of
an absorbing and fascinating love story.
The story, while tragic in tone. has the

500 HEAD OF CATTLE
COME FROM ARIZONA
Stock Will Be Fattened Near
San JacintO and Shipped
to Los Angeles

San Jacinto, Dec. 18.-The
Stock raising industry in the val
ley is very important one, and
has become a very profitable bust
ness, owing to the high prices of
meat. Many local cattlemen
have turned large herds of cattle
into good money, and the demand
is now greater than ever before.
Pico Bros. realize that the cat
tie business is destined to be one
of the leading industries in South
ern California, and are making
their plans accordingly. They
are buying large herds of cattle
wherever obtainable and are
bringing them here and pastur-
ing them on the Casa Iona
ranch, north of San Jacinto.
Last week they brought five
hundred head of beef cattle from
Seligman, Arizona, and unload
them here. They were driven to
the Pico ranch and put on pas
ture, where they will be fattened
and latter sold to the packing
houses in Los Angeles. Tribune.

RAILROADS ARE
EXEMPTED

General order issued by Cor
poration Commission granted all
companies privilege of exemp-
ton on afidavits of hardship.
Under an order issued by the
Arizona corporation commission
all railroads of this state are ex-
empted from the operations of
the three cent fare law until the
corporation commission has it
self thoroughly investigated the
situation and found out whether
or not the proposed rate is just
and reasonable. Under the Or
der, however, all the railroads
are required to file with the COM
mission afid avits and documen-
tary evidence calculated to show
that the fulfillment of the pro-
visions of the law at this time
will work a hardship upon the
company. and that it cannot earn
a just and reasonable compensa-
ton Hereunder.
The law known as the three
cent fare law, which was recent
ly approved by an overwhelming
vote of the people contains a pro-
vision whereby the corporation
commission has the power to ex-
empt any railroad from the OPP
Grafton of the law upon the re-
ceipt of satisfactory proof that
such railroad cannot earn a just
and reasonable compensation for
the service rendered by it to the
puplic. The corporation after
reviewing the condition of the
case decided that since it was
necessary for the whole affair to
be finally decided by the commits
sion it was also just and reason
able to give the railroads the
benefit of the doubt until such
time as the law should be decid-
ed and the judgment rendered.
Acting therefore, with that idea
in mind the commission issued
the order.
Friday, the thirteenth, there
fore, is not such an unlucky day
for the railroads, as it can be as
that all will Immediately
take advantage of the provisions
Of the order. Two railroads, the
Arizona Eastern and the Ray and
ella Valley roads. have hereto
fore filed applications with the
for exemption and

LOCATING SITE FOR THE DAM.

ton of the dam which 1t ID intended
to put in The proposition was dis
cussed in all its phases and while no
action was taken it is probable that
the dam will be constructed at a
point about three hundred feet below
the mill. There is some question as
the height of the dam, some of the
men favoring a four foot dam. This,
however, it is claimed by some. Of the
Mandan gentlemen, will not be high
enough to give much depth, and
would not be of service in raising the
water for boating above the hospital.
While at 1t the dam should be made
at least six feet high. These points
were brought to the attention of the
board and it is believed that the
wishes Of Mandan people will be car

TARIFF The ISSUE
IN TAFT CAMPAIGN
lQreement Reached Between
President and Members
Sub Committee
importance Of Election q
Republican Chief Executive
To be Noted

WASHINGTON, July 13.-The tariff
is to be the issue in the coming cam
paign If the new chairman of the re-
publican national committee acts, as
he will do, under the direction of
President Taft.
That is practically the agreement
that has been reached between the
President and the subcommittee of
the national committee that came here
to go over the preliminary work Of
the campaign with the standard bear.
er of the party.
Mr.. Taft is absolutely confident
that on the tariff issue, with little slse
allowed to interfere, he will again be
chosen President of the United States.
Members OF the republican national
committee are inclined to agree with
the President in this view and are
optimistic.
1t is we'll recognized that Roosevelt
ism, which means appeals to prejudice
the arraying of one class against an
other and demagoguery in a multitude
of forms, according to the Taft view,
will seek to force it's nostrums upon
the voters ahead of all other issues.
This intention, 1t Is pointed out, Is
clearly shown in the call issued a
few days ago at Oyster Bay. Col.
Roosevelt, as usual, will evade the tar
if if he can do so and will place his
generalities, his patent remedies for
all troubles, to the forefront, but If
he is compelled to meet the tariff is
sue he will do it with his new propo-
sition to divide part Of the protection
which he upholds with the laboring
man and farmer.
President May Lead OF.
President Taft is expected to lead
off the campaign with a speech or let
ter discussing the seriousness of the
tariff situation to the business and Ia
Dor of the country. He will make 1t
perfectly clear that if the democrats
are successful the country must go
through a revision of the tariff, far
reaching in its consequences, and
threatening such a profound disturb
ance Of business as to bring every
thing to a stop and throw labor out
of employment until employers know
where they stand.
His attitude will be that if the re-
publicans win they will not consent
to revision of tariff schedules except
after full and complete Investigations
by a tariff board or other body show
ing just hoy much reduction can be
made and at the same time give to
the American manufacturer and lab
oorer the protection that puts him on
a different footing from the foreign
manufacturer and laborer. The Presi-
dent will stand firmly by his attitude,
approved on a number Of occasions
by Theodore Roosevelt, that a tariff
board is the only fair method of re-
vising the tariff and that until there
is such a board revision must be de-
layed.
Argument Of Republicans.
The republican position will be that
