DEMAND FOR STEEL
FROM NEW SOURCES
Flood of Inquiries Expected from Non
Belligerent Nations, Says The
Iron Age.

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-Tbe Iron Ace
says: With further price advances and
the end not yet in sight. withdrawals
and postponement of new steel-takino
projects occur, but they are as notbin9
IN comparison with the avalanche of in
quirles which are expected in early
weeks from nonbelligerent nations The
vague and general feelers from these
sources are fast giving away to reouests
specific as to kind, amount and deliv-
cry. They come from quarters which
have been waiting, for one reason and
another, until the war should close. and
/ their needs are urgent. The peace and
war demands from the outside thus are
calculated to keep the mills busy If
domestic consumers are not willipo 70
pay present high prices. There are
numbers who have counted on softer
prices in the last part of the year, but
the trend of recent weeks has convinc
cd some large consumers thew have
overstayed.
In sharp contrast is the attitude of
the large agricultural implement mann
faeturers who have already secured mill
space for their buying year beginning
July /. Usually the negotiations have
been instituted at much later date
and have been prOtracted. This wear.
with possible exception, the contracts
cover only the period to Jan. l. 1917.
This has been done in the face of the
disinclination of mills to consider fu-
ture contracts, yet the pressure has been
sufficiently great that one Middle West
interest last week took 100 tons under
contract.
Sales for export contain some notable
items. No less than $4,000 tons of
plain wire for France is reported from
Chicago. For Africa America has TAX
en- 10000 tons of the rails, according
to our London cable. A Russian in
quiry is for 10000 axles complete with
the wheels, though the long-expected
additional Russian purchase of railroad
ears has not been contaminated, nor the
10000 tons of rails and $4,000 tons of
track accessories.

10000 FUND FROM ESTRAYs1

! Money from Cattle Shipped to Mar
ket Last Fall Restored to Right
full Owners.
Since 100000 worth of ownerless
beef that roamed the ranges of Mon
tana was shipped to market last fall,
$S3, 900 of the returns have been trans
mitted to the rightful owners through
the Office of D. w. Raymond, secre-
|tary of the state board of stock com.
nissioners. The balance, belonging
to persons whose identity is. not
known, is now being advertised in the
estray list. At the end of the adver-
tised period the money left on hand
will be placed in the state treasury
to the credit Of the estray fund.
Expressed in another way, there
were 1924 head Of cattle on the
ranges last year which had gotten
away from their owners. Since they
were shipped to market, proprietors
have been located for all but 81 head
and an accounting made to them. It's
some system that has been worked
out through which this has been made
possible. :
Every year certain number of cat
tie stray far from their accustomed
ranges. Some times, beef that was
turned loose on the Valley county
ranges in the spring is shipped from
points in Custer county in the fall. If
riders left the estrays on the ranges,
nine chances out of 10, the owners
would never hear about them again.
So they are gathered. on the fall
roundup and shipped east. At every |
market point the board of stock COM
missioners has an inspector stationed,
who takes the brand Of every animal
unloaded from Montana, and also re-
ceives from the commission house a i
copy Of it's report, showing the net re-
turn for each animal sold.
Settlement for estrays in the ship
ments is made direct to the stock !
board at Helena, which looks up in |
it's brand records the names Of the
owners of estrays and forwards the
money. Every once in a while an es-
tray is sold whose owner cannot be
located. 1t is then advertised, and if
an owner fails to appear and prove his
claim the money goes into the estray
fund.
In the list now being advertised
there are 81 head that were shipped
east last fall and 68 head of horses
and cattle that are estrays in Mon
tana. Under the estray law passed two
years ago, when an estray is picked
up the secretary Of the stock board or
the nearest stock inspector must be
notified. The inspector tries to find
the owner.
If he fails, the animal is then ad-
vertised, fo rsale at public auction.
'asturage is allowed from the time
the stock inspector was notified. This
is deducted from the receipts and the
balance sent to the estray fund. If the
person who found the animal has
other charges, the bill is sent to the
stock board, and is passed upon by the
executive committee.-Helena Record.

ASSOCIATIONS ARE A HABIT
We Even Form Clubs Over Question
Of Teethina Rings VS..
Thumb.

Our passion for getting up associa-
tions is a bad symptom Of intellectual
foolishness. Every trade and profes-
sion among us. every interest and
prejudice, every aspiration. hypothe-
sis or question about a question has
gang of club members at its back.

cieties to determine what plays their
children shall see during the holi-

not able to decide whether she should
give n rubber ring or coral to her
teethlng child or should leave him TO
nature and the thumb. She according
ly formed n society. 1t is called the
Ring and Coral association and meets

FURRED TONGUE NO PROOF
Why It Is Supposed to Indicate Diaes-
tive Disturbance Never Has
Been Explained.

Just why a furred tongue is sup
posed to be an indication of dis
turbance of the digestive apparatus
has never been explained. The Medi-
cal Record calls to mind the respected
land feared) spinster in our commu-
nifty a good many years ago who had
her own opinion about doctors. Urged
to consult one of their fraternity
when a little indisposed, she would re-
pei the suggestion with scorn. All
they do she would say, is to say,
Let's see your tongue. How's your
bowels? Two dollars, please.
The editor says he has known physi-
clans of the old school who could di-
agnose a case by looking at the
tongue. just as he has known a physi-
clan who could diagnose" case
of pneumonia in a child he had never
seen before when he got ten feet away
from the bed. And what is more. he
could tell which side 1t was on and
even designate the lobe affected in
some cases"
or course this is sarcasm. The edi-
tor is ridiculing the furred tongue as
a symptom of trouble in the digestive
apparatus.

Field Headquarters of Gen. Perish
ing, June 1.-THE finishing blow was
given the largest surviving band of
Villa followers in Chihuahua at day
light June 9 by twenty men of the
Thirteenth q. S. cavalry under Capt.
Otto w. Rethorse in a dashing canon
fight twenty miles north of Santa
were unhurt.
The Americans routed twenty-five
Villa bandits, killing three, wounding
several and capturing all their horses
and saddles, some rifles and several
thousand rounds of ammunition, Grip
pling the band completely.
A night ride brought the Ameri
cans into the canon at daybreak,
where they followed fresh horse
tracks. Riding at gallop. they
rounded cahon turn within 200
yards of the bandits encamped in a
grove of pines. IT was complete
surprise There was a headlong rush
among the Villa followers who, half
clad, grabbed rifles and fought back
from behind trees.
The Americans dismounted and
within three minutes had routed the
bandits, who abandoned everything
and sought refuge in the rugged
mountains. For four hours the Amer
leans continued the pursuit, climbing
over the mountains afoot and fighting
from the shelter of rocks, Several
Mexicans were shot but their bodies
or the wounded were not recovered.
Returning to the Mexican bivouac
the Americans added the bandits
breakfast to their own repast. The
bandits had only beef and coffee.
This band is said to have been the
largest surviving remnant of the
forces of Candelario Cervantes, who
was killed three weeks ago in a
brush with Americans, and its crush
ing is regarded as the most import
ant accomplishment of the campaign.
