Fam AND HEATH
NOW CATTLE KINGS
From Wednesdays Daily


Granville Fain and Arthur Heath
YESTERDAY closed a deal for taking
over the large range holdings of
Al. B. Kellogg in the eastern part
of the country and according to the
ports in circulation the consideration
involved was over $4,000.
Mr.. Kellogg stated yesterday that
his entire holdings are disposed of,
in the Bloody Basin section, and
that while he retires from an active
range life after fifteen years, he
will continue to make this section
his home, and engage in other pur-
suits.
Fam & Heath enjoy the distinction
in the cattle business by acquiring
the kellogg interests of being among
the largest owners in the State, and
in addition control range area that
is of vast importance, embracing as
it does a fine feeding country that
extends for hundreds of miles under
their undisputed control. They clos
ed the deal several months ago for
the LaTourette interests in the east
tern part of this county, which in
volved nearly 100000.
Another important cattle transac-
ton announced as closed yesterday
was contaminated by George A. Car
ter of the Valinda Rancho in Viii
hanson Valley, in purchasing 1000
steers from Louis GruwelI, Sterling
Tangate and Angus Douglas, in the
Black Canyon country This number
will later be consolidated with the
holdings of the buyer in the western
part of the county. The price paid
in this deal was not given publicity.

MOHAIR FLEECE
BRINGS A BIG PRICE
From Thursdays Daily.)

at is an i'll wind that blows no
body good" was the trite expression
used yesterday by R. B. Cannon, the
we'll known goat raiser of Kirkland
Valley, as he exhibited a certified
check for S7o6 for the first ton ship
ment of mohair made to the wooden
mills of Sanborn, Maine, this sea-
son.
Going into the details OF this
transaction, Mr. Cannon stated that
the price received was the-top-notch
one in twenty years, for the fleece
Of the goat, and he was agreeably
surprised when the check reached
him with the emphatic request that
future shipments be rushed with all
possible speed.
The high water mark in the price
of mohair is attributed to the pos
sibility of the present Congress en-
acting free wool tariff to restrict
domestic production and fortunate
ly the goat escapes the official shear
ing contemplated, as his goods and
wares are not included in the wrath
of the lawmaker in the prohibitive
classification that the other end OF
the animal family is facing, in being
associated with a trust. Mr.. Can
non returns home today and will
make another shipment in a few
weeks, having at least two tons to
shear from his we'll graded hocks.

The Railroads and the Public.

1t is an encouraging thing for the railroads that
public opinion universally approves their request io'
an increase in freight rates. 1t is PROOF lnat t"e
people are, after all just The old period of hosu
tv and suspicion is passing. When the railroads
come forward and point to the fact that added Dur
dens of taxation increased wages and the advancing
cos. Of supplies and equipment make neceSsW!
larger income than can he earned on the basis oil
the present rates hardly voice IS raised to dispute
the justice of the claim.
Doubtless an increase in rates should have been
made some time ago. Doubtless the railroads nave
suffered because of the delay in the face OF the au
yancinc cost of living for them. SO far they have
reasonable grounds of complaint against the system
of public regulation of their charges. REIMBURSEMENT
has been slow But at least there is basis for the
hope that il will be less slow in the future. Once
the public has admitted that rates havesto he ad-
yanced 10 meet advancing costs of operation II
should be easier to convince it that future advances
are necessary whenever they may become so.
The circumstances Of the last previous demand
Tor higher rates were unfortunate and the request
was i'll timed Just before the law giving the In
terstate Commerce Commission its present author
ity TO suspend and investigate rates went into
effect the railroads sought 10 put through consid
cradle advance in freight charges The movement
was checked only through pressure eXerted by the
national administration. 1t produced a bad I'M
preston BY acting as if anxious above all things
to avoid investigation by the Interstate Commerce
Commission the railroads led the public to think that
their proposed rates would not bear investigation
The public became suspicious. The increase pro-
posed then as the present more moderate percentage
requested seems TO show, was excessive. The plan
failed and the whole project of fair reimbursement
of charges to meet needs set back several
wears Had the roads not tried hastily to increase
rates before the public authorities obtained the legal
right to inquire into advances, and had they pre-
scented their case some months later with all the out
ward evidence of good faith shown to-day. there is
reason to believe that they might have been sue
cessfu.
a great step forward has been made toward re-
atons of mutual confidence between the public and
the railroads since the last proposal to increase rates
unfortunately made TO grow in public esteem
and trust the railroads have only TO the surplus
returns which they will receive from the higher
rates which they certain now to get exactly as
they now promise to use them-n improving
vice. increasing safety of travel enargng facilities
and generally in promoting their prosperity
and that of the communities which they serve The
people willing to pay for better and safer
vice.

MayOr-eect Mitchell was i'll advised in some OF
his actions as head of the school inquiry committee

coming out for Mr. ChurchlS reappointment to
the Board OF Education only proves that he is still

Mr.. Mitchell sees the defects of the schools ana Is
impatient to correct them. But the short cut tow

assumes office and has the responsibility for no
schools actually upon his shoulders we feel sure
that he will be less ready to upset the existing
system in favor of one which has failed whereye-
it has been tried than his Panama statement in

Cornerine Human Life.

Humanity is dishOnored by the state Of affairs
which is disclosed Oh very high authority, by The
Tribune's Berlin correspondent. Four Of the most
eminent German scientists declare that the high
cost of radium and mesothorum is due TO the sor-
did commercialism of their producers In a word,
those chemicals being corEered by mOnopolistS.
That is a mOnstrOus thing. 1t is highly desirable
that the marvellous mineral should be placed as
freely possible in the hands Of all competent in
vestigators and operators. At $50 gram it is be-
yond the reach of all but few. TO reduce its cost
one-half would be to multiply its use many times.
For men needlessly and from greed TO keep the
price at an almost prohibitive figure is equivalent
TO cornerng human life itself TO correct such
an abuse the intervention Of the powers which
some scientists suggesting, would not he too

MRS. BLATCH ANSWERS CRITIC
Review, Course Pursued by the Suf-
frage Campaign Committee.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: In last Sundays Tribune one OF
your correspondents. calling me, among
other things. "hasty." asks that her let
ter be printed I'm the official organ OF the
Womcn's Political Union. This compIi-
rent to the circulation OF our paper In
contrast 10 that of great New YORK
daily touches ones sense Of humor and
makes one all the more ready To give as
surance that the letter will be copied. II
Will stand In double column opposite the
following facts:
I. Last spring, when representatives, OF
suffrage societies invited Mrs Gait to be
chairman OF n compaign committee, the
Women's Political Union moved as rec
ommcndation that Mrs. Gait make the
committee broadly representative. This
recommendation was unanimously passed.
? This autumn the first meeting OF the
campaign committee was called. Far
from every Assembly district being rep
resented. as your correspondent claims.
there was not present a single person
from any upstate district. nor had any
upstate woman been even invited to be
present.
g. one resolution passed by this mar
row body of six members, in opposition To
the vote of the Womens Political Union.
was 10 the effect that the union must give
up its organization throughout the state
o. withdraw from the committee.
T. The minority Of one asked that so
sweeping a decision be deferred until the
executive board Of the Womens Political
Union had an opportunity TO discuss
proposal 80 vital to IT. This was re-
fused
>. The minority OF one asked that the
committee define by resolution its powers.
This was refused.
6. The minority OF one then asked TWO
questions i'm order TO gain an Idea OF the
boundaries OF the committee ana ROUND
them quite limtless.
!. The first question was. Would the
Womens Political Union, since It's Or
ganizatlon was to be wiped out. be eN-
pectcd TO give the funds IT might have FOR
organizers To the treasurer of the cam
paign committee2 The answer was yes.
5. The minority OF one then posed TINS
hypothesis Suppose the Women's Politi-
cal Union wanted to give n dinner 10 Mrs.
Pankhurst and the majority of the cam
paign committee thought such feast UNI
wise. would the union be free To give the
dinner" The answer was no.
Q The resolutions and discussion
showed that the Womens Political Union
was not expected to cooperate; IL was
being forced to withdraw from the COM
mittee or commit har-kari IL withdrew.
The union has no pride of organization.
If TO wipe itself out would insure VIC
tory in 1915 it would willingly annihilate
itself But. believing it has somewhat the
same part to play in the future as in the
PAST. il has decided. In the interest of the

Maine seems to have taken the lead in hunting
casualties this year. Up to date the season in that
state has produced twelve victims. As usual, they
were almost all of them killed by some companion
who saw a movement in the bushes and tired,
thinking it made by deer
New York state has been singularly fortunate OF

than those of other states but hy-product OF
the game laws and their enforcement. 1t is for

brings a severe penalty As n result, hunters take
a little care about what they shoot 1t might pay
