The start, at mile and three, quar-
tiers above the sea. is higher by far
than is the altitude of the finishing
line in most hill climbs.
The finishing point of Pixies Peak
is almost two and three -quaraers miles
above sea level. In the twelve and a
fraction miles of the course there are
60 turns, and the rise is almost one
mile high. There is no place where
the car is not climbing.
The high altitude affects the power
efficiency of the motor and water bolls
at such low temperature that motors
cannot be cooled as they are in lower
levels.

COTRT NOTES.

The case of John Peters against the
cit, lor injuries alleged to have been
sustained on October II, 1914. by rea-
son of falling through a board side
walk on Second avenue. near the old
Grossman undertaking establishment.
came up for trial Monday. Mr.. Peters
claims damages in the sum of $4,000
and alleges that he contracted blood
poisoning as a result of the injuries
sustained which weakened him per
manently. This is the last jury case.
The jury in the case Of d. l.. Hick-
ling against T. w. Potter returned a
verdict Saturday giving the PLAINTIFF
$1,000 damages. Hickling claimed that
Potter sold him orchard land under
representation that 1t was planted in
Jonathan and Rome Beauty apples, and
that afterwards when the trees began
bearing they proved to be mostly of
the Ben Davis and Gano varieties AT
the time that this discovery was made,
the apples of the first named kinds
were of more value than an apple or
chard of the Ben Davis or Gano yarie-
ties, especially for the purpose which
Mr.. Hickling had in view. The de-
PENDANT denied that the sale was the
result of the sort of representation al
legged by the plaintiff.

REALTY MEN AIDED BY WAR
Millions Are Being Spent for New
York Rentals in Place of Going
to Europe.

After balancing fall rental accounts
recently brokers throughout the ultra
fashionable district estimated that
more than s10,0OO.000 will be paid for
Manhattan homes during the coming
season by families that usually make
their abodes in Europe, the New York
World states. Their aggregate liv-
ing expenses for the year are placed
near $5o,000,000. most of which will
be spent in New York.
More than $500 such families have
rented apartments or private dwell
ings during the past few months
The have paid an average of $4,000
yearly rental. some paying as high as
$4,000. Their competition for lux
urious living quarters has forced nor
NAL prices to the highest levels on rec
ord and old families that have been
IN the habit Of renting costly homes
by the year, or for the social season,
have had to pay fancy figures
This was illustrated recently when
Mrs Nelson w. Aldrich, wife of the
late senator from Rhode Island and
closely related by marriage to the
Rockefellers, paid at the rate of 500
q day, more than $4,000 a year, for
Mrs. Kingsland's furnished home on
the northeast corner OF Fifth avenue
and Forty-sixth street, for the winter
season. Mrs. Kingsland herself leases
1t under long-term contract from WI
liam Waldorf Aston. A similar renta
is being paid for the Judsos Todt

WANTS DAMAGES FOR BITES
Brings Suit in Case That Es-
tabIishes Precedent.

Bitten by man he elected from
the branch public library at the Gate
way, Jack Smith, employed at the
branch. demands damages from the
city under the workingman's com
pensatior act. Jerome Jaekman Of
the city legal department said Smiths
claim was the most unusual that had
come to his notice.
"A drunken man entered the IL
brary," said Mr. Jackman. Mr.. Smith
started to usher him out. The fellow
struggled and finally bit Mr.. Smith
right hand, causing Geep decorations
on the thumb and index finger. He
has had the wound dressed four times
by a physician and 1t seems slow to
heal"
Mr.. Jackman gave the opinion that
Smith probably is entitled to com.
pensation for loss of time and for
medical Minneapolis Jour
nal.

agreed upon between the state author-
ity and the federal authority. rue
purpose of this. of course, is to MAKE
for connected and well-developea
system, and it is comparatively easy
for the federal official to reject aa
application from a state because u fs
not on a main thoroughfare. But
would be next to impossible for hss
to reject an application for a main
tenance expediture for the same rcs-
son. I view at this time with much
concern the employment of federM
money for maintenance purposes.
The so-called Shackleford bill which
passed the house of representatives
now rests with the committee on agrl-
culture. of which Senator Gore OF
Oklahoma is the chairman.
In a recent address Senator Gore
thus commented upon the new roads
question: 1.-THE general government
should cooperate with the state GOV
ernments, paying dollar for dollar. iS
the establishment and constructors Cd
system of national highways. he
expenditure should be dollar for dor,
lar in order to safeguard against tue
pork barrel
"a federal revenue of $25,O00,OOO a
year from inheritances woEld pay the
interest on $500, 100000 of state bonds
This amount judiciously and jointly
expended by the federal and state gov
ernments would render possible the
early construction of AN unequallea
system of local and national highways.
With such a system of highways the
self-propelled vehicle would reyoln-
tionibe rural transportation In the
United States. This is an automo-
bile age, and this is entitled to be an
: automobile country"

SMALL SHEEPMEN

Continued from page u

kOOuAinutU lIOul page -
which made it expedient that others
enter the sheep raising business on
small scale, a condition which was
largely the result of the attitude of
the big sheep raisers toward the
farmer. The big sheepmen in many
instances combined to keep down the
price of hay and told the farmers that
they must sell at their price or they
would not buy. AS the farmers were
many in number and unorganized.
they could not get together and fold
out so were compelled to take what
was offered for their hay. This led
the farmers to study the profit in the
sheep and soon many OF them began
to accumulate small flocks on the irri-
gated farms Another condition then
arose, however, which made it ex-
pedient if not imperative, that they
have access to the forest reserves, as
the dry farmer settled on the desert
claims and fenced in the springs, thus
injuring pastures on the foothills. In
the meantime, the big sheepnran wax
ed fat, and the fee which he paid for
the maintenance of his prior right
consisting as it did of only six cents
]
with the value of the monopoly which
he received in return. The result was
that some big sheepmen have sold
flocks at the market price and then
charged 81 a head extra for the pas
ture right The range at present is
not pastured closely and there il
plenty of room for thousands of more
sheep In the reserves The adoption
.f Al 49, Irr.o OF oil nv 10 n
men, which would result in givinl
them a share of the pastures, would
be especially beneficial in the neigh
borhood of Twin Falls where the by
products of the sugar factory can b.
used with great profit in the raising
of sheep if they can only get a shar
of the range, but failure to make som
provision for the small raiser will re
suit in greatly minimizing the bene
fetal results to the community of tn
sugar factory"
The big sheepmen deny some of tn
assertions of the small men, especial
the statement that the ranges can car
for more sheep than are now pasture
on them, and declare that such asseI
. tions of the small raisers as they d
admit do not warrant the conclusion
that the small men draw from them.
The question involved was original
, ly raised by Mr.. Hornibrook, who peti
toned for leave to pasture on tn
Minidoka forest reserve range an
when denied the privilege appealed t
the department of the interior Thi
appeal is still pending, but whethe
the meeting at Shoshone was the out
come of this move or not, has nc
been ascertained. There were abor
$4,000 sheep owned by small men o
+ the Twin Falls tract last year, in &C
dition to which several thousand hay
: been purchased and it is estimate
> that the big owners have at least 125
600 wintering on the tract.
