GREEN GRASS GROWS AROUND
PIalntlve Pastoral Lament Comes
From Texas, Where Even the
Sheep Get Lost.

San Angelo. Tex-There was a
time many years ago when the ranch
ers Of San Angelo sang "The Green
Grass Grew All Around, All Around"
and it didn't sound at all like com
pIaint. But Of late years, and this
year particularly, the green grass is
in total disrepute The trouble is
that it has grown around everything
and is so high that 1t hides cattle,
blocks wagons and is a beautifully
colored nuisance.
All of the cross cuts of the fields
have been abandoned, for with the
grass at its present height and
strength when herder leaves the
road he may get to another road and
he may stay in the grass. Every few
hours there is hunt for some one
who has wandered too far from the
edge for some purpose or other and
when a searching party goes seeking
a bowling exile subsequent searching
parties are usually formed to find
some Of the heroes Of the tall grass
who were originally bent on rescue.
Within the last two or three weeks
hundreds of lambs and many head of
cattle have wandered away in the
grass and disappeared and the lowing
of the cattle, the bleating OF the ewes
for their lost lambs and the general
conversation Of the ranchers who have
searched without avail for their stray
ing property has made the grass as
loud as 1t is luxurious.
The green grass has definitely
ceased to be joke in and about San
Angelo.

STATE OFFICIALS
GET DELAYED
PAY
COLLECTIONS OF TAXES MAKE
TT POSSIBLE TO PAY THEIR
SALARIES

Santa F'e, Dec. 2I.--Assistant State
Auditor A. ]. Fisher yesterday made
out the warrants for the 60 per cent
back salaries that the state still owes
it's servants at the capitol. They were
handed over today, coming at the
most acceptable time, a few days be
fore Christmas.
Mr.. Fisher has just finished the
compilation of the taxes that the tax,
payers of the state contribute during
the past fiscal year to the support
the state and its activities. The total
amounts to the handsome sum of ST.
689,74471 or about five dollars for
every man, woman and child in the
state. Unfortunately, the burden is
distributed ununiformly, for the num-
ber of taxpayers is only small pro
portion of the population of the state
That the tax collector gets his own
even after many years Of waiting and
that taxes ant be lodged all the time,
is demonstrated by the fact that
among the state taxes collected last
year, were $67.79 of 1906 taxes; $118
of 1907; $15OO.41 of 1908; $2,92129 of
1909 taxes; $35,5S6O6 of 1910 taxes;
S4O,977.S2 of 1911 taxes; $74S,47113 of
1912 taxes, while of 1913 taxes $685.

OWNER OF RADIUN
THREATENS STRIKE
O. B. WiIIwarth Indignant At
Secretary Lanes Announced
Policy and May Shut Mines.

NEW YORK, Jan. ia suggestion
was made Thursday by o. Barlow Will
narth, president of the Colorado Car
otite Company. which controls ore de-
0osits from which nearly a half of the
worlds available supply of radium has
been extracted. that American radium
producers might soon shut down their
works as a protest against the threat
cned governmental policy Of withdraw
ng all radium-producing lands from
entry.
Mr.. WiIlmarth came here from Mont
rose, Col, Wednesday. He will sail for
Europe to hold conferences with Nine.
Curie and others interested in the pro-
duction Of radium on the Mauretania
January 8.
Mr.. Willmarth said every pound of
ore his company has mined in Colorado
in the past three years has been shipped
to Paris, Berlin. and London. and that
All American offers to buy the ore have
been rejected. He also admitted that
since Nine. Curie obtains all of her
MISUNDERSTANDING ore from his COM
panyi those American surgeons who
have bought radIum abroad have prob
ably bought radfum that came from
crude ore produced in America and
shipped abroad to be refined.
But / absolutely justify this policy,
said Mr.. WillmaTth, g on the ground
that we are entirely right in gettins the
best price the worlds market will pay
Us for our ore. Every other commodity
is sold where the best market prevails.
More than that, no American offer has
been made TO us that would pay US to
mine the ore.
The process of extracting radium is
kept a secret in Europe. and those IA
miliar with the secret are not anxious
TO have control of II pass out from their
oTn person al supervision. 1t is for
that reason that they would rather pay
US for our crude ore and refine if in
their own laboratories than build lab
oratories out in Colorado where the
mineral is produced.
IF they want TO carry our ores 5000
miles to their market that is their af-
fair. If the United States Government
wants to go into the redium business,
let it go in right. Let II not go in by
method that will mean stagnation all
around. The mining of rare minerals
Is the most precarious business in the
world"
