Denver.-The largest Western tim.
ber deal closed in recent years was
financed in Denver recently by E. NJ.
Biggs.
He went to Wyoming recently and
obtained contract for 100000 ties, to
be delivered annually for eight years
to the Chicago and Northwestern rail
road. and also bought out contract
to cut the ties on the Bonneville ma.
tional forest.
The Bonneville forest embraces the
headwaters of the Wind river and the
Wind river is crossed by the railway
at Riverton. There are dozen
branches of the Wind river large
enough to fioat ties. SO that transpor-
tation problems are practically elimi-
mated.
AS about 20 per cent of the timber
will be sawlogs a mill will be built at
Riverton.
1t required 100000 in cash to swing
this deal, but Biggs and n lew Of his
friends raised the money in a few
days and work has already begun.
The operating company is called the
Wind River Tie and Milling Company.
and Biggs ~ general manager.
The Chicago and Northwestern rail-
way is erecting a huge tie treating
plant at Riverton which will be cap.
able of treating 100000 ties per year.
Creosote and other preservatives will
be used
Four hundred thousand ties for
eight years is 100000 ties, which is
quite an order OF ties.

El Paso, Tex, March 31.-A tale of
rebel reverses and rebel luck was
brought here last night from the front
by John S. Reed, correspondent OF the
New York World, and Robert Dormain,
photographer, who escaped from
Torreon. Their stories are the first
accounts OF eye witnesses since the
attack on Gomez Palacio, Lerdo and
Torreon begun. They left the front
Saturday morning, at which time they
estimated the rebel loss was 1000 in
killed and wounded.
Dorman brought back report that
Colonel Victor Huerta, son Of Presi-
dent Huerta, was among the federal
dead He said also that British Vice
Consul Cummings of Gomez Palacio
was sent to Torreon by General Villa
to suggest to General Velasco that he
surrender.
Cummings left Gomez Palacio FRI
day evening and was expected to re-
turn early Saturday morning. but when
the correspondents left he had not re-
appeared. and there was much specu-
lation as to his safety.
We were whipped twice at Gomez
Palacio." related Dorman, but the
federals didn't have the good sense to
follow up their advantage, and Villa
returned to the attack after reorganiz-
ing and ultimately occupied the city.
We were whipped right there, but We
lasco, the federal commander, didn't
know it.
Federal prisoners whom We cap
tured said that Velasco later went in
sane in the trenches. He is a cripple
OF previous revolutions and has a bad
arm and a bad leg. The prisoners toll
us he went mad after Gomez Palacio
and went raging up and down the
lines, cursing and issuing the most abb
surd orders. Ultimately his own Off
GERS put him under restraint.
Our attack on Gomez Palacio was
centered on the hill known as Cerro
de la Pillar. 1t is precipitous and We
made seven assaults before taking it.

which were unsuccessful could be dis
cerned after the battle by the rings OF
dead rebels. Their bodies distinctly
marked the line where they were re-
pulsed.
The homemade shrapnel OF the
rebels had much to do with the early
repulses at Gomez Palacio. Only about
one In thirty exploded.
General villa is fighting man.
He was everywhere and his greatest
delight was to join the assaults on foot
and throw hand grenades himself.
Ultimately he will take Torreon.
When We left, Saturday morning,
the fight for the possession of Tor
reon was In progress. 1t was slow,
stubborn work. as the rebels had TO
fight from house to house. the enemy
retreating from position TO position

mud houses which are built one

superiority OF the federals' artillery
should have given them permanent
victory but for velasco's failure to FOL.

cattIa Raisinu,

Reports to the United States depart
ment Of agriculture show that cattle
raisers In Mississippi during the last
year received net increase Of over
$2.O00.0O0 in the value Of their cattle
as the result Of the war the depart
ment has been making, through the
bureau of animal industry. on the cat
tie tick. However. there are number
Of counties in the state that are still
in quarantine, and as result 1t Is es-
timated that the cattle raisers are los
ing about 100000 annually through
devastations caused by the tick.
Other southern states are being bene-
fited as the result Of the work of the
department. and up to date about 2OO,-
900 miles Of territory have been freed
from the tick. According to the offi-
cials of the department, tick eradica-
ton is of such vital Importance to the
southern states that there should be
no letup until the complete destruc-
ton of the tick Is accomplished. When
this has been done the south will have
taken long stride toward the success
full development Of its cattle industry
Reports to the department from its
agents in Tennessee, where the cattle
tick eradication has been successfully
conducted, show that in Bradley coun-
ty, where the tick has been complete
ly eradicated, the price Of cattle has
more than doubled, that the interest In
live stock has been a great uplift to
the people and that more pure bred
cattle has been brought in than ever
before.
1t is stated that the increased valua-
tion of the hides of cattle that have
been freed of ticks will almost pay
three times the entire cost of tick Grad
ication. The large percentage Of the
chrome leather produced is finished
with the grain on. Consequently all
imperfections on the grained side, such
as is caused by the tick, are very pro-
nounced. A few years ago, when
practically all the upper leather was
made from bark tanned stock, all of
the leather was buffed, or, in other
words. the top was grained to enable

BRISToW STIL,L A REPUBLICAN,

An Eastern paper announces that
Senator !}ri3row is ga Republican
again. Senator Bristow is on' OF
those Republicans who in 1912 iran
with The hare and hunted with the
hounds" He supported Colonel
Roosevelt in 1912 and generally gave
the impression that he had ceased to
be a Republican, but when Congress
met after election he went into the
Republican Senatorial caucus and
sought and obtained committee places
as a Republican. He has since work
ed with the Republicans with an oc-
casional show of independence, but
lined up with all the other members
of that party on the Senate finance
committee in favor of the Hitchcock
currency bill.
There has been some doubt whether
as a Republican or as Progressive,
but he has evidently found the drift
back to the Republican ranks so
strong that he has diagnosed the case
of the Progressive party as hopeless.
He has no desire to lead a forlorn
hope, therefore has resolved that the
Republican party is progressive
enough for him.
No man questions Mr.. Bristow s
acumen as a political weather proph-
ct, nor does any man doubt his sin
cere devotion to progress. Personal
ambition agrees with political con-
viction in debating his present course,
for he evidently sees in the Republi-
can party the best medium through
which to forward his principles.
Many other Progressive party leaders
are coming TO the same conclusion
and adopting the same course. The
more of them do so, the more re-
sistless will be progressive tendencies
in the old party until no excuse for
continuance of the Progressive organ
ization will remain except blind al
legiance to an individual, repugnanee
to confession of error and obstinate
adherence TO course once adopted.

Game LAWS For 1913.

The department of agriculture,
through the bureau of biological sur
vey, has issued the fourteenth annual

United States and Canada.

things, brief synopsis of the new
game laws enacted in each state and
province and series of tables show
ing the provisions relating to seasons.
export, sale, limits and licenses. The
general objects of the bulletin are to
present In convenient form the restric-
tions on hunting which affect the en-
forcement of the federal statutes reg
ulating interstate commerce In game
and the protection of migratory birds
and to show the trend and general con-

Some novel laws enacted by the leg
islatures are found in the bulletin.
among them being that Ohio and
Pennsylvania now require licensee to

accidents Manitoba requires hunters
to wear a white coat or sweater and

The latter province has recently made
the penalty for accidentally shooting a
person a 6ne ranging from $500 to
81 900 or Imprisonment for six months

the tanner to eliminate great many
imperfections from the class of stock
infested by the tick. Tanners then
could buy cheap hides that were COW
cred with imperfections and make fair
ly good leather. The situation today is
different-the public is demanding good
shoes from leather
Hides that have been infested with
ticks are graded as No. 4. while the
same hides if freed from tick marks
would grade No. 2. The difference in
the price of these two grades Of hides
is cents per pound. The average
hides of Tennessee steers weigh about
forty-two pounds Therefore the effect
of freeing the cattle In Tennessee Of
ticks alone would increase the valua-
ton Of each hide 81 or more.

Popcorn New Farming Industry.
The department of agriculture has
announced an interesting investigation
on the value Of popcorn as a breakfast
food and states that $1.50 worth OF
raw material can be made to produce
$50 worth of popcorn on piece of
land forty feet long by twenty feet
wide.
The department recommends popcorn
as valuable breakfast food-superior
to many of the market varieties A
quantity can be grown proftably, and
when there is surplus not wanted
for home consumption it can be dispos-
ed of to merchants or to consumers
direct at good profit.
Different ways in which popcorn can
be prepared as food are suggested
by the department, some of which are:
Two teacupfuls of white sugar. half
cupful Of corn sirup, two ounces Of
chocolate and a cupful of water. Put
these ingredients into kettle and
cook them until the sirup hardens
when put in cold water. Pour over
four quarts Of crisp, freshly popped
corn and stir well to insure the uni
form coating Of the kernels.

(officiaI News Summary of UP to Date
Matters Compiled by the United
States Department of Agricultural
A CCORD1NG to bulletin just Is
"a sued by the office Of public
.A roads of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, coun-
ty roads paved with vitrified brisk are
becoming popular in many states, and
owing to the general satisfaction which
the roads SO paved are giving when
properly constructed it is probable that
the use of brick in road building will
continue to increase rapidly.
The principal advantages which
roads constructed of vitri6ed brick
possess are:
They are durable under heavy traffic
conditions.
They afford easy traction and good
foothold for horses.
They are easily maintained and kept
clean.
They present very pleasing ap-
pearance.
On the other hand, the principal dis
advantage is the high first cost. The
defects which frequently result from
lack of uniformity in the quality of
the brick or from poor construction
are usually to be traced to an effort to
reduce the first cost or to popular
feeling. that local material should be
used even when Of inferior quality.
Proper engineering supervision Is
emphasized by the department In the
construction of roads. Many commu-
mites in the past have expended large
sums in efforts to improve public roads
without first having obtained the serv-
ices Of some one competent to plan
and direct the work. The results have
usually been very unsatisfactory. One
of the mistakes most commonly prac-
ticed is the constructing of some ex-
pensive type Of pavement on a road
where the locality is faulty or the
grades are impracticable
Even in constructing good earth
roads 1t is doubtful economy to dis
pense with the services Of a competent
engineer, and If any considerable guam
tity of work is to be done such serv-
ices should certainly be secured. Since
brick pavements are probably more ex-
pensive to construct than any other
fxrln nj
county roads 1t is very important that
their construction should be carefully
planned and well executed.
