GOVERNMENT
HERD INCREASED
The Heard Now Contains a Total Of
Forty-Eight Head.

The birth Of 10 calves in the buffalo
herd maintained by the government on
the Wichita national forest and game
refuge, near Lawton, Oklahoma, has
been reported by the game warden in
charge. The herd now contains a
total of 48 head of full blooded
buffalo. or, more properly, bison, Of
which q are males and 81 females.
All of the animals are in splendid
condition.
In 1907 the American Bison Socie-
ty donated to the federal government
nucleus herd of Is animals which
had been bred and reared in the
New York geological park. The ami
mails We're transported to the Wichi-
ia national forest which is also a
game refuge and placed under the
care of the Forest Service. They
readily adapted themselves to their
new habitat, but the area upon which
they were placed was within the zone
affected by the Texas fever tick and
during the two or three years follow
ing their transfer only the constant
care and watachfulness Of the forest
officials prevented the complete loss
of the herd.
The animals were examined almost
daily to determine whether they had
become infested with Texas ticks and
were placed in especially designed
cages and sprayed with crude oil at
intervals of from Is to 30 days, but
Notwithstanding the extreme precau-
tions which were adopted 3 of the
animals died. Gradually, however, the
enclosures In which the buffalo were
confined were freed from fever ticks
and there Is a possibility that as the
buffalo adapted themselves to their
new environment they became more
or less immune to the disease. No
losses from Texas fever have occur
red for several years, and the herd
has almost quadrupled In number
since 1t was established.

KNIGHTS TEMPLAR CONCLAVE
UNUSUAL.

Denver, Colo, Aug.-With over 40
900 men in line General John Chase
and his committee Of assistants will
form and direct the gigantic knight
Templar parade here almost entirely
by telephone. A special central
switchboard has been installed at
conclave headquarters and by means
of branch telephones at short inter-
yals along the line OF march the com.
mittee will be kept in direct touch
with the movements and prosress
OF the vast army Of marching knights.
Besides the host of Sir knights who
are in attendan e at line corclave
there are over 100000 visitors in the
city, and unusual and careful plans
have been prepared for their care and
comfort. Special plans have been ar
ranged by the telephone company in
anticipation of the great increase in
the number of telephnoe calls during
the conclava. For months past that
company has been busy installing
emergency telephones, additional
switchboard facilities and training the
$50 extra operators who will be re-
Quired to assist the regular force in
handling the calls. Over $50 emer.
gency telephones have been connect
ed with the newspapers and hotels
and information bureaus, and at vari-
GUS places along the streets tele-
phones connected with the central
exchange have been provided for the
convenience of the visitors.
Discussing the telephone prepara-
tons for the conclave visitors, an
official of the Mountain States Tele-
phone Company said today: Elmer
gencies such as this require that we
provide facilities far beyond our usual
daily need. The present convention
with its vast influx of visitors and
consequent increase Of telephone calls
is only a repetition of other conven-
tions we have handled, and will have
to handle in the future. Our plant in
vestment has always been, and must
always be, sufficient to take care of
not only the usual daily business, but
the maximum number of calls that
come to our switchboards. This is
true not only of Denver and other
large centers but of each one of our
exchange throughout the territory
Every telephone call must be hand
led as a unit. The provisions in Den
yer during the present conclave are
such that each one Of the daily 200,-
900 calls will be handled as promptly
and as carefully as at any other
time"
The careful study and preparation
to provide for the telephone needs of
and similar gatherings
shows quite conclusively that the busi-
ness of the telephone company, as
we'll as that of other service corpora.
tions is unusual and that the difficult
ties which confront them are not to
be judged by everyday standards.

RANCHER BURNED
WITH ELECTRICITY
j. 1. BlackWellof Gienns Ferry Vic
tim Of Peculiar Accident
in Hay Field

J. L. Blackwell, rancher living
about eight miles from Glenns Ferry
lies at st. Alphonsus hospital with
his face, arms and legs badly burned
by electricity, the result of an unusu
al accident.
The story Of the accident, as nearly
as 1t can be learned, Is told by the
Beaver River Companys agent al
Glenns Ferry, who arrived with
Blackwell, Wednesday evening. The
company's transmission line crosses
through the Blackwell ranch, and the
men have been haying, stacking the
hay On each side of the line, taking
the derrick across to the field on the
other side at a point where there W.
depression in the ground and near
one of the poles, where the lines are
the highest on account of being ex-
tremely taut at this point.
In the midst of their haying We'd
nesday the derrick was in the middle
OF the field, midway between two of
the electric poles. The men sized up
the derrick, which was not quite at
its full height, and sized the wires,
and concluded they could pass under.
They passed successfully under the
north wire, but the iron band of the
derrick struck against the south
wire. No harm was done at the time,
as there was nothing to ground the
wire.
The men then looked about to see
what could be done to get the der
rick back. They did not want 10
wait to get word to the power COM
pany and have the power turned off,
but concluded it would be safe to
try it themselves. There was ap-
parently no metal connection between
the iron band which lay against the
wire, and the iron chain which hung
from the end of the wooden beam,
and Mr.. Blackwell concluded that
he would try to lower the beam by
means of the chain. He had not yet
touched the chain before the electric
current was attracted to him, and
was grounded through his body,
knocking him senseless at the same
time.
The fact that Mr.. Blackwell was so
badly burned about the face is be-
lieved to be due to the fact that he
had large gold filling in his tooth,
which attracted the current. He had
metal heel plates on his shoes, which
may have accounted for the bad
burns On his feet. His hands are not
burned at all, but he has a de-
burn on one arm.
As soon as the accident to Mr..
Blackwell occurred the power CON-
pany was notified, the power turned
off and the derrick taken out. The
physicians do not believe that Mr..
Blackwell q burns will be serious, but
they are extremely painful.

FLIGHT OF OUR
INDUSTRIES
Factory Owners See Ruin In
Tariff That Opens Home
Markets to Canada

Washington, d. C. August 14-One
of the leading Eastern Journals re-
Gently contained the following edi.
torial comment with reference to
the disastrous effects which the pro-
prosed tariff law is having ON the
business enterprises throughout the
country:
Factory owners who see ruin In
tariff that opens their home mar
ket to Canadian competition with
no reciprocal concessions that would
tend to level the Canadian side OF
the tariff wall continue to cut out
work for Secretary Redfield. A Los
Angeles electrical supply plant is
the newest recruit to the Industrial
exodus. Like Gov. Foss of Massa-
chusetts the Los Angeles manufac
turer asserts that his action is fore
ed by the failure of this country to
enter into reciprocal tariff relations
with our next door neighbor.
1--WE are going to quit this coun-
try simply because our tariff policy
is wrong" said the manager of the
Los Angeles enterprise. I'VE are
forced to 60 to Canada to avoid the
35 per cent burden imposed by
Canada, while our government is pre-
pairing to open our markets to Can
adian products without asking fol
the same advantages in their markets
for our manufacturers.
Evidently our manufacturers take
little stock in the reciprocity clause
which the Senate inserted in the
Underwood bill. This afterthought
authorizes the President to put pro-
hibitive tariff on certain articles
should he discover that foreign ma
tions discriminate against this coun-
try, unless they cease doing so and
establish reciprocal relations.
ut was understood at one time
that such treaties would be negotiat-
ed before putting the Underwood tar
iff into effect, in order that we might
have a basis of negotiati0ns--some-
thing to offer in return for foreign
However, the bill as re-
ported out to the Senate contein-
plates putting the law into effect be-
fore taking note of violations Of the
favored nation clause to our disad-
vantage. The fear that such practices
will be resorted to under the new
tariff seems to spring from the notion
that the favored nation clause Is
abrogated by the radical
changes we have made of our own vo
lition as to the import tax on ar
ticles which have been coming in un-
der our minihi u talief.
"a big promise Is held out as t0
what will result from the welding
of a tariff club, but seeing that such
a role would fix our status as that
of a country essaying to make tar
iffs for all the world, obviously little
headway could possibly be made. In
any event, the mischief will have
been done before long trawn uut ne-
gotiations and Publications, and per-
haps tariff war, could put an end
to any determinations. Meanwhile,
the American invasion OF Canada
may have assumed wholesale proper
tions.'

LIBRARY PROJECT Is
MEETING HIGH FAVOR

In order that the children of the
EI Paso public schools may have bet
ter opportunities of becoming acquaint-
ed with the best books, it has been
decided to establish a library in each
classroom. These class Libraries VIII
consist of classics, books of travel,
histories, etc, suited to the age ana
needs of the pupils of each grade.
Such libraries have the advantage
Of being within the reach of each
child on every school day OF the year.
For this reason the books can be used
daily to supplement the regular work
of the school The full Benefie of such
q course Of reading lasting through
out the school life of a child can hard
" be estimated.
To collect funds for this. purpose
a library day has been held in all the
schools of the city. The books which
will be bought by the principals OF
the schools with the funds thus re-
ceived will be kept in cases which are
being made for each room by the
manual training boys OF each school
To raise the funds letters were sent
out to all the school patrons by
superintendent R J. Tighe explaining
the purpose of library day. and the
financial result has been most crafty
ing, the superintendent says
