FORTY DOLLARS MORE A HEAD
That Was the Difference Between Scrub
and BIooded Stock.

Washington, March 27:-That 1t pays
| to raise good stock is illustrated by the
experience of two Utah ranchmen who
sent their steers to the same market
on the same day. Both ran their stock
on National Forest range under graz
ing permits. both used the same
amount OF range per head of stock.
and both paid the same grazing fee.
One gave close attention 20 the Sc
lection of his breeding cows and used
only hgh-grade bulls. The other made
no effort to improve his herd. The
owner of the high-grade stock received
$40 per head more for his steers than
the owner of the common stock.
There is lesson in this that should
be OF great interest to the stock rasers
of this county. 1t is well understood
that it requires no more teed to keep a
blooded animal than scrub and the
difference in favor of the blooded
stock is equal to a very large profit. -

BIG FIRE IN NASHVILLE.
Nearly 600 Houses Burned With a
Property Loss Of Million and Halt.

Last Wednesday Afternoon about 80
fire broke out in East Nashville. A
fifty mile an hour gale was blowing,
which rendered the fire department
powerless to render any special ald or
control the fire.
1t burned until far into the night be-
tore it was gotten under control. Nu-
merous churches and schools were de-
stroyed along with hundreds of resi-
denccs, among them being some of the
finest homes in the city. BY the time
the fire was under control nearly 600
houses of all description had been de-
stroyed. The loss is estimated at
81. SOC. 900. No lives were lost but
many persons had narrow escapes and
some were injured. 1t was by far the
most disastrous fire in the history of
the CITY,
A negro boy dropped his yarn ball
INTO the fire and as he snatched it out
it burned his fingers and he dropped it.
The small blaze was caught up by the
terrific gale then Glowing and swept
everything DeIOre IL Tor several n0urS.
Several thousand people were rem
dered homeless. but individuals con-
tribu ed literally and the needy were
all housed and fed by the aid of the
city and other organizations. The
Nashville Banner started a subscription
fund with donation of $1,000. Con-
tributions poured in from many sources
and the situation was promptly handled
with very little suffering to the needy
and unfortunate who had lost their all.

TONEY AND PATTON
WIN NOMINATION
Tonss Claims Victory by $50 to 200;
Patton Wins Over Flynn by Close
to 100 Votes; Vote Will Be
Canvassed Tomorrow

The republican primary election held
Saturday for the selection of a candi-
date for Sheriff, Trustee and lax As.
SCISSOR resulted IN &. W. Toney defeat
ing J. A. Hassler; Jas. Smith was
named without opposition; J. E. Pat
ton won over w. L. Flynn.
The election was most remarkable in
that very little excitement was
aroused, but in spite of that fact far
vote was polled. From the size OF the
vote it is evident that the people were
thinking more than they were talking.
Before the election no one seemed to
be able to predict with any degree of
certainty who would be the winners.
The race for sheriff had the appearance
of being favorable to the present sher-
lff, q. W. Tonsy, but Mr.. Hassler de-
veloped surprising strength in some
sections of the county and came we'll
up to expectations at almost every pre-
cinct. Sheriff Toney has won the nom-
inatioon by $50 to 200 votes. He
claims the victory by close to 200, but
there is some doubt if his expectations
will be quite realized when the count
is had tomorrow noon.
The race bewteen W. l.. Flynn and
]. 4. Patton was one of the most clean
and gentlemanly that was eyer run in
this county. Both men acted With en-
tire courtesy and good feeling toward
each other, gong so far as to deliver
each others tickets at several voting
places over the county. Indications
are that Mr.. Patton has won by some
where around 100 votes.
Mr.. Flynn had served as Assessor
one term while Mr.. Patton had never
held any elective county office. He
entered the race very much stranger
IN some parts of the county wilhelm
other parts he was we'll known and all
we'll Informed persons admitted, as did |
his opponent, that he would poll |
heavy vote where we'll known. Both |
men are of high character and are
highly esteemed in their home neigh
borhOOds.
Jas. Smith. who was nominated tor
a second term as Trustee, had no oppo.
nent. He has discharged the duties of
the place 50 we'll and is so we'll known
and liked over the county that any per-
son who may have aspired to the office
could see that the chances to defeat
Mr.. Smith were practically hopeless.
The figures that have been received
on the election have been brought in
by persons from the different precincts
and sent IN by phone so that no great
can be placed in their ac-
but are sufficiently close to
render the final result sure.
Under the rules governing the prl-
mary the committee will meet IN the
court house tomorrow at noon to can
vass the returns and announce the re-
suit. 10 make sure of having the vote
correct we are not attempting to give
the votes by precincts this week, but
will do SO next week.
The committee to canvass the vote
is: G. +. Burnett, chairman; s. G.
Bishop, secretary; S. e. Cline, Jere
Morrow and A. L. Garrison. The can.
1ldates, their friends or any interested
person may be present to watch the
canvass of the vote.

LARGE HOG SALES.
0ysr 100 Head Bring Highest Price Of
Season in Competitive Bidding,

Saturday 102 head of hogs were lead
ed here by Arthur Woody for shipmen
to Nashville parties. The price pai'
was 8 IL cents pound live weight
This is the highest price that has beer
paid for hogs in this section this sea
son. The price that has been paid be
fore has ranged from 1-2 to cents
In this Instance the hogs were unusu
ally good and the fact that there was
Car load brought out several bidders.
Most of the hogs belonged to K. r.
Dunbar and brother, M. &. Dunbar.
The hogs had been gotten together at
the farm of K. r. Dunbar, four miles
south of town. The bidding was spirit
ed from the start, but when Arthur
Woody offered l-2 cents the other
bidders had enough and let Mr.. Woody
have them. The hogs were weighed
on the scales at Mr.. Dunbar farm,
which was quite an item as hogs ill
shrink a few pounds by being driven
as much as four miles.
Of the whole number sold K. r.
Dunbar had 81 head, which brought
him over fourteen hundred dollars.
They averaged a fraction over 208
pounds. M. e. Dunbar had II head
which weighed 2. $50 pounds or a frac-
tion less than $50 each. Other parties
had one or two each to make up the to-
tai of 1O2 head.
r. R. Dunbar has sold this year over
81, 900 in hogs out of the woods. They
have been fed no grain ana have not
cost him 80 cents head in cash for
feed, but he has put IN much time look
ing after them. However, it is hardly
.irikeiy he could have employed his time
20 profitably IN any other way. Mr..
Dunbar informed the Chronicle man
that he would have car of shpats that
will average around 1875 pounds for
June shipment. He will very likely
realize over SO. 900 this year from hogs.
Mr.. Dunbar 10 not only q successful
hog man but he Is making splendid
success with sheep and cattle as we'll.
He has a flock of 75 ewes Of such fine
quality that he was recently offered
49, 90 head for the bunch. but de-
clined 1t. Buyers say he has AS fine
sheep as they ever saw. He has been
bringing up the grade of his sheep for
several years by using pure blood
bucks. He has some ten or twenty
buck lambs engaged to different parties
for delivery this summer. They will
bring him $500 to $40 90 each. He
He has some as fine cattle as any man
in the county and always gets the top
of the market, for what he offers tor
sale is of first quality.
There are many farmers over the
county who have sold hogs to the
amount of $50 up to several hundred
dollars. AS in the case with Mr.. Dun
bar the hogs have been fed no grain,
simply fattened on acorns in the woods.
