Locates Elk Herd

last night, where he has been for the past two weeks looking after the shipment of Wyoming elk brought to this state by the B. P. o. E. of Arizona.
 MT. Rogers reports that the elk arrived in fine condition and are fine bunch ofyearlings. Owing to the severe storms in the higher attitudes, it was found to be inn practicable to place the elk in the corral prepared for them prior to their arrival, and the elk were held in Winslow until new corral twelve miles nearer the town and in a lower altitude, could be built.
 "The animals seem to be gentle and in good spirits when they reached their destination, and but little trouble was experienced in getting them transferred to the stock corral" said Mir. Rogers. "They attracted much attention from the people in Winslow and surrounding country, and appar- ently every man, woman and child | in that part of Coconino county paid their respects to the new denizens ol the state, and every available camera was brought into use, with the result that many fine pictures of the herd are being displayed in the vicinity.
 The elk were driven into crates loaded into wagons and hauled to their new quarters, which were forty-three miles from Winslow. Ten wagons were required to make the transfer. The crating and hauling proved severe test to the endurance of the animals, and put them in a fighting humor. Five of them were released from the crates during the trip, as they showed signs of giving out. Two of those released followed along in the wake of the wagons and applied for admittance to the corral the day after the others were turned in. Three are still at large in the forest, grazing in the can yons, and will doubtless be picked up and turned into the corral by MT. Creswell, on whose ranch the enclosure is built, or by one of the other sheepmen in the vicinity, 1 all of whom are much interested in the herd, and several of whom will be made, at their own sug- gestion, special game wardens, without remuneration, to look after the interests of the elk.
 "One little fellow who was re- leased on the way to the pen spent the night in the canyon and early the following morning woke a sheep herder by paving on the door of his cabin. The sheep herder offered his guest a drink which the young buck took from pail in the herder's hands. Later in the day he showed up at the corral and was turned in with the others, having entirely recovered from the i'll effects of the trip.
 "The arrival of the elk has stimulated interest in game mat ters among the sportsmen and people generally throughout that part of the country, and many of them are anxious to see the work of protecting the game all over the state put on more thorough basis. There are 8 good many beaver in parts of the country up there and something should be done to give them protection, as they are being killed off need flessly. hope our laws may be amended to afford some protection to these valuable little animals, as they are in locality where they can do much good and little or no harm.

Cannot Pacify Mexican Rebels

Washington, Sept. 29.-The admin
istration has reluctantly concluded
that at present there is no constitu.
tional means of opening communica-
tion with an official basis with the in
surgent parties in Mexico. This fact
developed today as the result of an
inquiry whether Mr.. Lind, the presi.
dents special commissioner to Mexi-
CO, was able to get into communica-
tion with the constitutionalists with
a view to securing an agreement from
them to respect a truce, while the pro-
jected October elections in Mexico are
under way.
Trouble is brewing in the state of
Tabasco, which has been quiet for
some time and there are rumors that
the insurrectionists in the southern
part of the state are only awaiting the
arrival of expected reinforcements to
renew hostilities.

Fort Peck Drawing Completed

Glasgow, Sept. 25.-Owing to the
rapidity of the men at work under
Judge Witten by which the world.
heating record of $500 names were
drawn yesterday, the Fort Peck draw.
ing ended late last night. Judge Wit
ten how has force of clerks at work
ON the tabulating and sending out of
notifications, and this will be rushed
With all possible dispatch.
James F. Collins, st. Paul, was the
drawer of the last number, $4,000.
There are but 8,406 claims to be CIV
en- out, but as it is estimated that from
20 to 40 per cent of registrations will
not show up it is within the range of
possibilities that Mr.. Collins will have
d chance to use his number.
lee Jordan, the Jefferson City, NO.,
man, who drew 13, was a believer in
that figure. He left his home in q
sleeper berth numbered 13 on Sept.
13, arrived here at 13 minutes past
the hour, took room in local hotel

Will Recount Silver Dollars

Washington, Sept. 27.-The United
States mint at San Francisco has
been robbed, although it is believed
the amount taken is small. Treas
ury officials today confirmed reports
of thefts from the coinage plant on
the Pacific It will require a dol
lar-for-dollar count of $61, 1,754,000 of
silver stored there to discover the
exact loss.
Only 81 has been found to be miss.
ing up to this time, but the circum.
stances indicate that the sum will
be increased. George E. Roberts, d.
rector of the mint, said today that
undoubtedly there had been a scheme
of petty pilfering" but he was con-
f1dent no great amount had been stol-
en-. The stealing, he added, was from
the great stock of silver dollars stor-
ed in bags containing $1,000 each. In
few of these bags it was found that
one or two dollars had been taken and
iron washers substituted.

High Prices for Ammunition

Washington, Sept. 25.-Representa,
tive Clyde H. Tavenner of Illinois
claims the government is cheating it.
self by wasting money on the pur-
chase of army and navy material. He
asserts it has been doing this for q
great many years. The government
is paying $25 for AZ inch sharpnel,
the character of the ammunition used
in heavy field guns, and at the same
time it has been manufacturing at
Frankfard arsenal, Philadelphia, .
portion Of its supply for 1882, all
overhead expenses included, he says.
The records of the war department
show that the government has been
paying private manufacturers from Is
to 33 per cent more for small arm
cartridges and from 80 to so per cent
more for field artillery ammunition
and equipment than it can manufac-
ture them for in its own arsenals.

Meat Supply is Short

Washington, Sept. 26.-Shortage Of
the meat supply in England, as in
The United States, is due to a con.
siderable extent to the butchering Of
breeding stock, according to G. A.
Bell. assistant chief of the division
of animal husbandry of the depart
ment of agriculture, who has just re-
turned from a four months trip
through Europe studying livestock

Federal Aid for Good Roads

Detroit, Sept. 29.-Secretary Hous.
ton of the United States department
of agriculture, in an address before
the American road congress- here, to.
day, explained the interest of the fed
eral government with reference to
road building. He urged good roads
for the farmer in preference to great
transcontinental highways for auto
mobilists, but said he did not under.
estimate the valuable service render.
ed by automobilists for road building.
THAT the suggestion Of federal aid
to road building raises grave ques-
tioas and involves possible dangers,
no thoughtful citizen doubts" said
the secretary. "There are proposals
before the public mind which would
bankrupt the federal treasury, and
suggest possible abuses before which
those of the worst pork barrel bills
of the past would pale into insignifi.
canoe. No proposal which does not
carry with it the assurance of safe.
guarding the treasury IN this direc.
tion seems to me to stand the ghost
of a chance of favorable considera.
tion."

MAY ARRANGE FUSION
Newspaper Correspondent Declares
Movement Favors Roosevelt

Washington, Sept. 25.-Sumner Cur
tbs has sent the following to the Chi
cago Rec0rd-Herald:
Some quiet but very important
work looking into the national fu-
sion" of the Republican and Progress.
sive parties was done in Washington.
William Loeb, Jr., who was secretary
to the president when Theodore
Roosevelt was in the White House,
still the close personal and political
friend of the former president and
intimately associated with the big
leaders OF the Republican party, came
to town to get a grasp on the situa-
ton, as reflected here, preparatory
to systematic move to reunite the
forces that were rent asunder last
year.
it is almost needless to say that the
fusion movement of such potentiality
embraces Colonel Roosevelt as the
central factor.
The movement is predicated on the
fact-apparent to observation at the
capital for many weeks-that the Re-
publican leaders in congress, stand
pat and progressive alike, expect Mr..
Roosevelt to be a candidate for the
regular Republican nomination for
president in 1916

Great Falls Woman Swindled

San Francisco, Sept. 27.-The po-
lice are looking for Austin O'Hara,
"spieler" of San Francisco sight
seeing car who is charged by Mrs.
Elizabeth J. Mccullough of Great
Falls, Montana, with having captured
$2.100 from her, along with her heart.
Mrs. Mccullough a Divorce, says
she fell in love with O'Hara while
riding in his car and allowed him to
remove $500 diamond ring from her
finger. He pawned it, she claims, for
$500, and she had him arrested. While
in jail, O'Hara wrote her some touch
ing notes and she refused to prose-
cute him. Out of jail, O'Hara restor-
ed himself to Mrs. McCollough's favor
she says, and induced her to loan him
a large sum of money with which to
buy sightseeing car for himself.
O'Hara, it is alleged, promptly dis
appeared with the money. Detectives
have trailed him as far as Los An.
geles.
