Stonewall Bellangee, who was be-

on August %, after a dispute over a
passage for cattle thru a certain
gateway, gave himself up to Sheriff
Stroud, after four days at large in
the hills. Bloodhounds had been
brought and all the passes in the
region watched. Large rewards were
offered, but inasmuch as Bellangee
gave himself up it is not certain that
anyone will get the money. He will
be tried for murder.

Glover and Timothy Seed
Glover seed, like wheat, is an in
ternational game-and the game. SO
far as the price in this country is
concerned, is played at Toledo. The
seed market Is much more tickle than
wheat, or almost any other crop. 1t
generally fluctuates several dollars
several times each season. Glover
has already taken a journey from
$S.47 to $11.2O, back to $3.50 and
up to $3.50. Right now it is hesitat-
ing. 1t generally advances, however,
in September, but this may possibly
be an exceptional season in that re-
spect. Last year the crop was a
failure in the main clover sections
Of the east. This year the GRO out
look Is much better, but the crop is
not yet secure. The export situation
in Europe will have considerable in
fluence on u market, particularly
in Italy and France. These two
countries exported 100000 bags last
year. Our imports are generally
around $4,000 bags. What they will
be this season can not at this time be
determined. Just at this time of the
season both clover and timothy seed
values are debatable. All depends
on weather and crop conditions dur
ing the next few days. Early in Sep
TENDER crop news becomes more de-
cisive. Growers should watch for
quick fluctuations in the market. At
this writing the outlook for timothy

PRICE OF BUTTER WILL
RISE in WHOLESALE
Shortage of Feed Because of FrOsts
is One Reason Meat is High

The wholesale price of butter at
Seattle, now about 20 and 80 cents a
pound, is about to rise to 33 cents,
according to an interview given out
at the Puget Sound city by w. F..
Jensen of Salt Lake, president of the
Mutual Creamery company, which
operates large ~creameries at Wash
ington, Oregon, Utah and Idaho
points, and has a creamery at Boise.
Such a rise in price at the coast
would be met with a similar rise of
about three cents a pound in the in
terror, and If it materalizes Idaho
ranchers now receiving 25 cents per
pound will get %, says H. A. Shell
1enberger, manager of the local plant
elonging to the Mutual company.
Mr.. Jensen gives his judgment after
a thoro inquiry into conditions. Dur
ing the past two weeks he has made
a tour of Utah, Colorado, Wyoming,
Arizona, Nevada, Montana, Idaho and
everywhere he has found that the
problem of feed for dairy cows is
vital.
Feed Supply Reduced
= Turnout the intermountain states
the first crop of alfalfa vas Frozen"
he says, in an interview given at
Seattle. 1.-THE loss in that extensive
region is fully 40 per cent. On the
coast adverse weather has caused a
loss of not less than 20 per cent.
Think I am conservative in saying
that the average reduction in feed
supplies is 80 per cent.
, I'm my judgment, the dairyman
has now reached a critical point.
While feed is high, meat is also high.
Beef cattle command good prices.
The dairyman has to decide whether
he can afford to continue milking his
cows, or whether it is best for him
to sell them to the butcher. A cow
must be a good producer to meet the
drain of feeding on SIS hay. To
produce butterfat is now costing
the farmer five cents a pound more
than it did a year ago. He Is facing
a season of high feed, and now Is
the time for him to protect himself.
Shortage Coming?
Business conditions are good, but
the creameries, in my judgment, will
be obliged to contend with a shortage
and a light make in fall and winter.
From my knowledge of conditions
] am convinced that the rise in the
price Of butter will not be delayed
very much longer. While there Is
still a little surplus, there Is a short
ening of all grades, and we are rapid
ly approaching the point where there
will be no surplus at all.
For that reason I contend that
butter ought to go to 33 cents"

THE AMERICAN RED CROSS

Mr.. G.. L. Hardy.
Canon City. Colo.
My Dear MIR. Hardy:
The excellent article in the Rec
ord" on April Goth on the American
Red Cross should be reed by everyone.
and the advice to form a chapter here
acted upon at once 1t does not seem
rfsht nor it IS to our cred as Amer.-
cans that other nations. some not as
rich or as large as the United States,
have societies with memberships many
times larger than that OF our Red
Cross.
Because one reads so much about
the Red Cross in times OF war It
must not Re assumed that It's duties
are military only. Its members should
be prepared as pointed out in the
article. for service in times OF pu'.
lie calamity due to fire. food. etc.
WREN fin the excitement OF the mo-
ment II Is not possible to organize

relief to take caro- OF tie suffering and
want that cannot wait. This takes
training and cooperation which esn

alton. witch are the objects of the
local chapters. The chapters can have
an excellent effect upon the commun-
ity Itself in matter relating to health
and the prevention OF disease. These
local charters would help the Ameri-
can Red Cross both with its funds and
its membership show that we arc
ready TO do our share in helping 9th
ers both in times OF peace and war,
and that We realize our duties and
responsibilities as mach as the people

would therefore suggest that all

LET VILLA STAY DEAD

Villa is Dead
ct the dead stay dead
1t suits us all best just now to ae-
cept the rumors as a fact.
The villa supporters are satisfied
to have Villa dead. for the present.
at least
Carranza and his government are
pleased to believe that Villa is dead.
and rest in the security of his silence
for little while.
The government at Washington is
helped out of very embarrassing
dilemma If It accepts the reports of
Villas death as fact. On this theory
and on this alone-cau we get our
trcors out of Mexico with any degree
of dignity.
While villa is dead and buried lets
hustle Persh;ng and his men out of
Mexico. and then lets take them away
from the border and out of danger.
During the past year We have had
a number of soldiers killed or hurt
on the border. The massacre of troops
and citizens at Columbus is only one
of many cases where American soldl'
ers and American citizens have been
shot by Mexican desreradoes.
We have entirely too few soldiers
in the Army of the U. S. A. to have
them scattered along the border with
their hands tied and in constant dan
ger of being kidnspred or shot. Lets
take them away and get them into tho
Interior where they viii he safe.
We can turn the border over tc
Texas and New Mexico to-police and Il
will be much better protected.
But for the present why have doubts
about Villas deaths lets accept II

We have a good chance.

THE PRICE or ARMOR PLATE
(Hy A. r. tIvinsston.)

In the letter of the Acting Secre-
tary of the Navy. dated Dec a, 1906,
he states that up to 1896. the price we
paid was about 25 per cent higher than
the price abroad from foreign makers.
In 1896 it was about the same, since
then the price was lower in this coun-
try.
In 1894, the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany made contract with the Rus
sian Government for 1900 tons of
armor plate at very much less price
than was then charged this Govern
ment, namely. s249.0O. This was for
the purpose of gaining foothold in
Europe. Later contracts with Russia
for much larger quantities were made
at a price of s524.0O, which was above
that charged this Government at the
time. In 1911 the price to Italy was
S43S.00. and to our authorities $4,000.
There is nothing to show in the hear
ings before the Naval Committee of
Congress held last January that the
price of armor plate would be raised
$4,000 per ton in case a Government
plant was built No such threat can
be found in the testimony which was
taken under oath.
! 1t is unfortunate for their side of
he case that those who are against
preparedness and are usually known
S peace-at-sny-ptice people should not

A SnOst time ago, Mr. AShenLu st
made certain statements in the Mes
senger" that ! am unable to verify.
He stated that on armor plate sold

The Ua:ted States Steel Corporation
is usually known as the Steel Trust"
but its Carnesie Plant is tine only part
of it making armor plate The other
makers are the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany and the Midvale Steel Company,
which are independent concerns. The
total amount made by the Carnegie
Steel Company. including contracts
of 1906, was 49,504 tons, this from
1887 to 1906 inclusive The other com
panies made 64,93S tons in the same
period, OF which the Bethlehem Steel
Company made 5i,ss5 tons. From
that date to 1915 inclusive. this COM

ment.
From his remarks, one would in
fer that large PROFITS have been
made by the companies in the 2S years
that they have been making armor
plate. According to the information
transmitted to Congre in December
1906. by the Acting Secretary of the
Navy. the costs of the armor plate
plants of the three companies was
slightly over $4,000. 10000. 1t is safe
TO say that much money has been ex-
pended in additions since then. The
Bethlehem Company claims an addi-
tional Investment of about $3.50. 900.
and the aiidvale of about 81, 600. 600 1t
has been testified at the hearings in
Congress- in January OF this year that
the actual return on the investment
has been very small. less than 2 per
cent Another thing shotid re reineni-

these armor pli;e plants was built at
the request of the Goverumnt.

much more per ton th.n foreign gov
