Says He Can Supply 4O,-
600 Autos in Two Weeks

If a certain European nation
agrees to pay the Ford Motor
Company of Detroit the standard
price for each car, 10000 auto
mobiles will be sent to Europe as
quickly as they can be built at
the big plant.
Henry Ford, president of the
company, admitted last night at
the Hotel Belmont, where he is
stopping, that one of the Euro
pean belligerents had made a
proposal on Thursday for 40, 900
Ford cars, with an inquiry as to
how quickly they could be de
livered. Mr.. Ford replied that
the order would be accepted only
at the rate per car, and that the
40, 900 machines would be de-
livered at the rate of 1000 a day.
By using the Is, 900 cars in stock
at the factory, Mr.. Ford said, he
could complete the order within
to weeks.
The amount of the contract
would be not less than SIG, 400, 900
nor more than $40, 100000 but
that didn't excite Mr.. Ford,
whose attitude last night was
eff they don't care to pay the
price every American individual
purchaser is obliged to pay they
can go elsewhere. IN. Y. Sun

Reports Heaviest Shows
in Past Twenty Years

Not for twenty years h a s
there been so much sdow in the
White Mountains. according to
an official report received by
Section Director Briggs of Phoe-
nix last week from Elmer Pen
rod, his observer from Cooley's
ranch. Penrod, in addition to
being the observer, employed to
make readings on the snow
stakes set between McVey and
Ord peaks. is an oil d timer,
raised in the vicinity. And his
statement can be regarded as
pretty accurate.
In fact, there is so much snow
up there on the Roosevelt water
shed, that it was impossible for
Penrod and his assistant to get
to all the stakes. Five days
they spent in riding horseback
up Paradise creek, which sepa-
rates Ord from McVey, and then
they only succeeded in reaching
half of the stations. Snow fell,
burying the old fall to the depth
OF from two to three feet, and,
not being able to carry rations
for their horses, the explorers
were compelled to turn back and
seek the lower levels.
Even at Cooley's ranch, which
is out on bare fiat, there was
two feet of snow before the
observers left on their journey.
This is a rather extraordinary
thing for last winter there was
no snow at all in the valley.
From two feet to forty inches
of snow was banked up against
all the stakes visited. All were
discovered to be in first rate
condition, in spite of the long
time they have been left out in
the open.

C'rcus." I'm not afraid to take
chances on you seeing more of her

roundup and I'll take chances on
Miss Mollie sticking to me. I'll give
you month to speak first. That's
fair, amt it"
Brennan nodded. With "Circus"
silent for month he could argue his
suit, and with Mrs. Malloy for an
ally he counted on winning long be-
fore the expiration of the four weeks
of grace.
1t was near the close of the round
up when "Circus'" opportunity
came. He and Brennan had ridden
after some of the men who had gone
to drive the cattle from one of the
valleys that broke the side of the
hills. Just as they reached the mouth
of the gulch bunch of stampeding
cattle burst out of the ravine and
headed straight for the two riders.
They wheeled their horses, but as
they did so Brennan's mount slipped
and fell, throwing Brennan heavily
against rock, breaking his leg.
'ECircus" had already turned, but
now he wheeled his horse again, and
leaping from the saddle he caught
up the injured man.

nan. "Save yourself, man."
'Lots Of time," declared "Circus"
cheerfully, though he had to shout
to be heard above the thunder of
the pounding hoofs. Carefully but
with haste he lifted Brennan to the
saddle and swung himself into the
seat just as the first of the cattle
were upon them.
Carefully watching his chances,
"Circus" held in his mount when
there was a chance to drop back
through the bunch of frightened
steers and after what seemed an age
he was riding among the ruck of the
herd. From every direction the men

The Bite of a ella
Monster Proves Fatal

The bite of a ella monster
captured in the vicinity of Tue
son and sent to the University OF
Kansas some time ago, has caus-
ed the death of L. l.. Dyche,
fish and game warden of the
state of Kansas, anda well-known
scientist of the University of
Kansas, according to news receiv-
ed by a friend in Phoenix.
The animal bit Dyche and in
ten days he died from heart fall
ure. Physicians declared that
his death was due to the bite of
the Arizona reptile.
Dyche was well-known spe-
cialist of fish culture and animal
protection law. In 1895 Prof.
Dyche was one of the party
which rescued Lieutenant (now
Rear Admiral) Peary in the arctic
regions sailing from Gloucester,
Mass. in the Golden Hope May
Is of that year. He found the
partv near death from cold and
starvation.

came riding up and presently they
were headed for the camp where the
foreman was made comfortable in
one of the wagons and the injured
leg was set by Barbee, who had stud
led surgery.
As the wagon was about to draw
out to take him to the ranch house
Brennan called for "Circus."
"I'll tell Mollie that you're COM
ing to ask her something when the
roundup is over," he whispered as
he clasped "Circus'" hand. you've
got the right to speak, lad. She'll
be proud of you when she finds out
what you've done-and it won't lose
none in the telling.
He waved his hand in farewell
and "Circus" climbed down from
the wagon with radiant face. AS
he turned toward his horse, Barbee
rode up.
'EWho trained your horse for you ?"
he demanded as "Circus" looked up.
81 trained him myself" was the
reply. 81 used to do a bit of that
work when I was helper to man
who trained horses for the circus"
"Come up to the house after the
round-up,'' he ordered. "I want to
start breeding polo ponies and you
can have the job as foreman Il you
want it"
"I want it." assented "Circus"
promptly, "and I thank you kindly,
sir"
Barbee nodded and rode away, and
"Circus" regarded the knot OF blue
ribbon twined in his hat band.
"It's foreman I'll be when Pm
speaking to you, Mollie, darling" ne
confded to the ribbon. "And sure
the speaking will be a greater job
than riding through a bunch OF
cows. I wish l could just rope ye.
I can do that better than I can the
taking. Never a bit did | think OF
all I'd have to tel when [ spoke

Coyotes and Hydroph0bia

The spreading of rabies by in
fected coyotes among cattle
grazing in the National Forests
has assumed a grave aspect, ac-
cording to a report received by
the Forest Service from the Dis
trict Forester in charge of the
Forests of Washington and Ore
gon. Numerous townships in
eastern Oregon, it is reported,
have ordered that all dogs be
muzzled lest those that have been
bitten by rabid coyotes develop
hydrophobia and attack humans
or domestic animals.
Efforts are being made by the
state authorities of Oregon to
stop the spread of hydrophobia
by this means and officers of the
Forest Service are cooperating
in attempts to kill off the coy
otes. In one county alone a loss
of three hundred head of cattle
is charged to rabid coyotes.

REHABILITATION OF SCHOOL GRADES TO
 BE RECOMMENDED
Bridgeport Teachers Believe Our Curriculum Pushes Put
 pills Too Fast For Years

Because the youth of Bridgeport gets too much crammed into it's col lective head in the first years of it's schooling it is possible the grades of this city's school system will be re- arranged next autumn when many changes are expected to be made in the schools. It is believed the four sets to examine the school systems there will report in favor of re-grad- ing the courses of study.
 For. many years it has been found that Bridgeport children are far ahead of the children of most. other schools in the country-that is, in the third grade here they have learned subjects that are being learned in the fifth grades in other cities. When children are transferred here from other cities they. have to go back a few grades because the grades here are ahead of those in the cities from which they came.
 In Boston and other cities of Mass achusetts that state of affairs is in existence. The children are taught more slowly and they are said to learn more accurately. Here they are crammed full of knowledge which they either learn imperfectly or forget easily and they are grad uated from the grade schools in an immature stage. They enter high school when they ought to be in the seventh grade.
 A new gradfng that will make the fifth grades in the schools of other fifth grades i nthe schools of other cities and not to the seventh grades will be put into effect, it is expected At least, it will be advocated and strong pressure will be put to beal Ito bring it about.

The Warrenite grab was damned through the Common Council last night with but four dissenting votes. Under the resolution adopted by the council more than a quarter million dollars will be expended for paving without a shadow of competition.
 The cost of the work, with special items included, will reach the high price Of $1.4o per square yard, though the base price is but $1.20.s
 Within few minutes after the res o1ution passed, it had been signed by Mayor Wilson, although Alderman Moran had expressed the view that a high price was being paid for a pavement which was no better than others to be had for less money. and after Alderman Casey had directed the attention of the Council to the poor condition of the Warrenite on Connecticut avenue.
 The council voted to accept the Warren Bros. Co.'S proposal and to make new contracts for the same work which was halted by injunction last summer. The price is to be $1.2O per square yard for the War renite surface, e$5 per cubic yard for biturlninous binder and the actual cost of the labor for scarifying with 5 per cent additional The Warren Bros. Co.. agrees to withdraw from 1itiga- tion in the injunction proceedings now before the courts The res0lu- ton was signed by every member of the streets and sidewalks committee. It was signed by Mayor Wilson imme- kdiately after the council meeting. The resolution practically makes new con- tracts with the Warrenitea people, but contracts with specifications attached will be signed by Mayor Wilson and Director Courtade later on The work of laying Warrenite on the streets mentioned will commence 1T May. The resolution provides tha1 payment for the paving shall be mad< from the avaiIs of the S2OO, GOO paw ing bond issue, Series A. The con tracts as proposed will use abou l $160s0O0 of this money. Besides $40, eco balance there is s57.712 availab1,
