Grazing Association, a corporation
The purpose of the association is the
furtherance OF the welfare OF the
sheepmen and their protection. 7. G.
Bacon, of this city has been elected
secretary. The association members
have been annoyed for osme time by the
stealing of lambs from their big
flocks, until it was deemed wise to
take some action to correct and pre-
vent the widespread pilfering which
is going on So brazen have some OF
the thieves become that in bands tra-
versing the highways that a lamb will
quickly be siezed and thrown over IN
to the thiefs yard. Later when con-
fronted with the fact that the lamb is
in their possession, the thieves Will
claim that the lamb broke through the
fence and claim 1t for damage.
As each lamb is worth about five
dollars, the loss is heavy one alone
but often Mr.. Bacon stated to the
Times, that the loss of the lamb caus-
ed the death of eve thus more thar
doubling the loss to the sheep men
In one location in the state the thieves
-SEEfdred inducements to young boys o
fiftyVce1 k-.ses+ Mead for the yount
lambs. Rarally the boys entered en-
ergetically into the nefarious business
A reward of five hundred dollars i
offered by the association for infor

CHICAGO ELECTS
THOMPSON MAYOR
Winner Gets Largest Plurality
on Record, 100000
WOMAN'S VOTE BIG FACTOR
Eighty Per Cent. Of Their Ballots Cast
Tor Republican-ReIlgious Issue
Hurts Democratic Loser
Drys Make Big Gains.

Chicago.-The fercest and most
spectacular Mayoralty campaign in
the history of Chicago finished in the
election of William Hale Thompson
for Mayor. This was a big upset to
the popular and likewise to the news
paper view.
T~hompson's plurality over Robert
M. Sweitzer, Democrat, is estimated
at $4,000. Several factors turned
the city throne to Thompson. One
was the enmity Of Mayor Harrison to
Sweitzer, who crushed the former
mayor in the primaries. Another was
Roger G. Sullivan's support of SWEET
ger, a third was the vote of zoo, 900
women, a fourth was the injection OF
an appeal to German-Americans to
support a man whose ancestors claim
ed the Fatherland.
The women broke up all predictions
by voting almost two to one for
Thompson. The women's vote for
divided about $4,000 for Sweitzer and
100000 for Thompson. The number
of women registered was 2S2. 900.
The number of men registered was
486,815. The total vote was more than
100000, the greatest polled at any
city election ever held in the country.
Thompson also captured a big plural
ity of the male vote.
The Sweitzer managers repudiated
their circular appealing to German
Americans to vot for him because OF
conditions prevailing in Germany.
Sweitzer was a victim of the religious
issue projected anonymously in poll
tics.

PACT WITH RUSSIA PROBABLE.
Business Meen Favor Resumption Of
Commercial Treaty.

Business Meen Favor Resumption Of
Commercial Treaty.
Neutrality-suspicious. for qualification
is found in official quarters in reports
reaching Washington indicating that
the business interests of the country
are eager to give their support t. any
step on the part of the Administration
looking to the renewal of commercial
treaty relations with Russia.
So far as it has been possible to de-
termine the sentiment Of the country
on the recent tentative proposal that
a treaty with Russia be negotiated
with exclusive reference t CONNER
cial problems, the officials most con-
cerned are greatly pleased V e the
results. 1t has been strongly intimat-
ed here that the more clearly and Wig
orously the business interests most
concerned with regard to trade rela-
tons express their views in the sub
!ect the soone may positive steps in
that direction be expected.
All officials familiar with the situa-
ton agree that the opportunity now
presented 10 the OuIL6u states IS eX-
ceptional in its commercial history
with respect to foreign trade. 1t is
pointed out that the actual trade in
Russia-after the war of courses
much greater than the trade of China.
which has figured much more largely
in the public mind of this country.
Experts on Russia also agree that
her consuming powers are just being
developed and that she is soon to be
come one of the greatest purchasing
nations of the world. The prize, there
fore, is worth the most vigorous ef-
forts to obtain it.
Through her aggressive foreign pol
icy Germany was able to secure for
herself most unusual tariff concessions
from Russia. These concessions were
so remarkable that the Germans were
able to put American goods into the
Russian market at a lower figure than
that at which American shippers could
put them there by direct shipment.
A large part of American trade with
Russia has passed through Germany
