The Department of Agriculture has
undertaken the investigation Of a
serious disease which Is affecting the
Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep and
the mountain goats, and is reported
as existing on the Lemhi National
Forest in Idaho. The Forest officers
think that it is the same disease that
caused the mountain sheep to die in
great numbers during 1923, The
nature of the disease is not known,
though 1t results fatally and sheep af-
fected with 1t seem to have rough and

ciated. Three bureaus Of the De-

Monday, and their workings will be
watched with great interest by the
banking men Of the world. The cot
ton exchange opened in New York
Monday. The demand for cotton was
larger than the offerings, showing
that many cotton growers and holders
had financed their holdings and would
not be forced to sell. Cotton sold on
the exchange at seven and a fraction.
When the exchange closed in July it
was selling for ten and a fraction.

Frank Doran, a Miami business
man, spent a few days in the city this
week. Mr.. Doran used to be a pro-
fessional base ball player, and at one
time was a member Of the Athletics
of Philadelphia. When playing ball
he spent his winters in Arizona. en-
gagged in different works but general
ly about the mines. When he quit
base ball he came back to Arizona,
and finally entered the mercantile
business in Miami, the big copper
camp. Last summer the democrats
urged him to run for supervisor. He
was not much stuck on the job, but
finally consented to the use Of his
name in the primaries. He was cho.
sen as a candidate. He told his friends
he had not much time nor money for
a campaign, and that If they wanted
him elected they must do the work.
He did not 60 out campaigning, CIV
ing as an excuse that he could not
leave his business. He made so little
noise that it was generally conceded
that he would be defeated, and that a
popular republican, who had before
been elected in ella county, would be
elected. However, he was putting in
a quiet campaign, and working all
the time in a way that no n knew
anything about. He had old time
friends, with whom he had worked 10
former years, scattered all over the
county. He got into communication
with many Of them, and got them to
work. Instead of being defeated he
he had more votes than any super
visor on any ticket, not only being
elected, but running ahead Of the
other candidates for supervisor on his
own ticket. The politicians of ella
county were surprised, and wanted to
know how he did it, but he has not
explained it to the satisfaction Of any
Of them.

For a long time the people Of New
Mexico have had a hard time trying
to find out what vas the law regard
ing any particular matter. The laws
were revised in 1897. Since then there
have been many legislatures making
new laws and repeating old ones, and
all the issues OF the various session
laws have to be chased Though on
any particular subject, to see II there
has been a change since 1897. Some
years ago s2O,O 900 were appropriated to
pay for the compiling Of the laws,
which was done, but the compilation
was never printed. Judge Mechem,
of Socorro, and Attorney S. B. Davis,
of Las Vegas have made a compila-
ton of the laws, which they have had
printed, thus doing what the legls-
lature would not do, and now you can
get the law down to the minute.

A couple Of insurance men were
travelling through the southern part
of the county, on business, in a new
81, 300 car. They saw a gate in the
distance which they wanted to make,
and concluded to take a short cut
across the country, instead of follow
ing the road. They struck a wetspot,
and the car went down. There seemed
TO be no bottom and they could not
work the car out. They got a team,
but the team could not pull it out.

Crown Princes Men
in Need of Supplies
By Associated Press

Paris, Sept. II, Z a. m.-The rear
guard action supposed at first to be
intended as a check to pursuit and to
facilitate the retreat of the mass of
the armies of Generals Won Kluck and
Won Buelow, has developed into what
Will probably be called in history the
battle of Aisne. Whether the Ger
mans have found 1T necessary or ad-
Visable to turn and engage in a gen
eral action or not. this great battle
wages fiercely and rivals in impor-
tance the battle of the Marne.
The War Office says that the French
have not flinched at any point This
sounds as If they were on the de-
fensive and this might be so in view
of the strength of the position the
Germans occupy. The official COM
munication Sunday said that the
French and English had crossed the
Aisne. If so they have the river at
their back, while the Germans are
strongly intrenched on the heights of
Laon and Rheims with their right
protected by the Disc and the Aisne
at Norton.
Crown Prince Pursued
The undetermined element in this
fight is the allies right, which Is in
pursuit of the Crown Princes army
All reports indicate that the latter is
quite as demoralized as was Won
Kluck's army and is suffering equally
from lack of provisions and ammuni-
ton. While Won Kluck has no doubt
received what he needs in this re-
spect, 1t is doubtful If the Crown
Prince has.
The issue of the battle may depend
upon what condition the Crown Prince
reaches the front, and whether he
can make a stand and prevent the
allies from turning the German left.
Some of the military experts still
think that the Germans hope by this
action only to check the onrush of the
allies and that later they will take
up the. defensive on the Namur line
There was credit even for a rumor
current in that General Won Kluck
had been ordered not to resist in
France and that he was ready to listen
to offers of peace through Pope Bene-
dict XIV and President Wilson, but
the steady stream of wounded COM
ing from the front seems to disprove
this and indicate that the battle will
be to a finish.

bLOVAKS DRINK ALL
=, OUR GERMAN BEER
There Was Plentiful Supply Un-
til Convention Is Opened
Here

Harrisburg had many thirsty folks
to-day. The last bottle of Pilsener
beer in town was sold last night: and
this morning the supply of Muencher
beer was exhausted. 1t is now neces-
sary to drink domestic beer or go dry.
OF course. everybody expected that
the German brews which have been
30 popular would run out some time.
as the war made it impossible to get
beer from Germany until the conflict
was ended.
Harrisburg, however. was consid-
cred lucky. as Ellis P. Gourley, of the
Senate Hotel. had said there was
enough German beer in Harrisburg
to supply all demands for four
months.
Johnny Simone, bar clerk at the
Senate, explained the reasons for the
shortage in German beers to-day. He
said:
I'VE had a big supply of Pilsener
and Muencher up to Monday. Then
our European friends who are attend
~ the Slovak convention at the
ID of Trade came. They demanded
IN beer. They got it, What's
l., .e, they got all of It! Now we
don't have any more German beer"

Finn Seeks to
Smooth Kickers

William Finn spent to-day trying
to straighten out kinks in the WASH
fngton party organization and at the
same time keeping in touch with the
Democratic leaders about the plans
for raising funds for the campaign.
The big Bull Moose met some of the
Democratic field marshals early and
then. went to Capitol Hill. where he
called on Auditor General A. w. Pow
ell, who had just returned from Pitts
burgh and who was not at the Wash
ington party meeting. Then he went
over across the hall and reasoned with
State Treasurer r. K. Young. When
he left, about noon, he was in a good
humor. but there were traces of anx-
iety about him. Further fusion Is
much talked of.
Young and Powell declined to make
any statements whatsoever to-day. It
is believed that pressure Is being
brought to bear on Young to get him
to line up for Mccormick.
State Chairman A. Nevin DIETRICH
stated that he expected to meet Demo-
cratic Chairman Roland S. Morris
later in the day to discuss the timer
airy of Dean Lewis, who is to make
speeches for Mccormick but he would
not discuss finances Finn declined
to talk of further fusion and DIETRICH
followed suit. The general attitude
of the Bull Moosers is that overtures
should come from the Democrats.
However, there does not seem to be
any eagerness in that direction mani
tested at Democratic headquarters.
The certificate of McCormick's nom
ination will be filed to-day.
