Washington. Feb 24-The exist

"At the annual convention of the
National Association of Master Bakers

announced that "a campaign would

Bread in the warning countries is

rotary ]. NJ. Bell, of the Master
Bakers, tells of the increased dues for
the campaign of education In the
same letter he calls the many bakers
who refused to join in price boosting
nothing less than renegades.'
Right after the Spanish-American
war a tax was placed on mixed
flour, which is corn starch or corn
flour mixed with wheat flour.
Don't Want Cheaper Flour.
There is a bill now in the ways
and means committee of the house re-
pealing this tax, which would divert
about sixty million more bushels of
corn into the bread-making market
every year.
Every effort to report out this bill
favorably is met with opposition by
the bakers and wheat millers
I'm view of these facts I charge that
there is a fast forming food trust in
this country that is in a conspiracy to
keep up the price of bread"

Washington, Feb. 24.-The Repub-

There was little doubt today regard

AS far as the filibuster has gone it's
winding way thru many reams of

Vermont butter industry, finance and
farming matters, it has been a huge
Republican success.

ARRESTED AS CATTLE THIEF.
Hugh Clark, Prominent North Park
Ranchman, Gathered in by the
jackson County Sheriff.

The Jackson County (Walden, Colo.)
Star of December 20, says:
THE people of North Park were
shocked when they learned that Hugh
Clark had been arrested Sunday and
charged with cattle stealing. On Sat
urday, upon complaint filed before Jus
tice A. g.. Maine, a search warrant was
issued and Sheriff Bulls, Chas. Emigh
and A. j. Monroe, with others. search
ed h Hugh Clark ranch.
Evidence enough was found to JUS
tify the authorities belief hat there
had been cattle stealing and MI. Clark's
arrest followed.
The searchers found the hides of
three animals which had beer slaugh-
tered. The hide of a yearling heifer
which bore Andrew Nordell's brand I;
the hide of n yearling heifer which
bore the brand of Hunter. Casteel> &
Hunter, and a hide of a two-year-old
steer bearing James Macfarlane's
brand were found in a shed adjoining
the ranch residence of Mr.. Clark"
The searchers then went over the
entire Clark ranch, according to the
Star, rounding up all cattle to be
found, with the result hat more than
30 head were found which bore the
brands of a dozen or so stockmen of
North Park and surrounding country,
and at last account the authorities
were still engaged with a minute
search of the Clark property for addi-
tional evidence.
Clark, who declares he is innocent,
waived preliminary examination and
has been released under a bond of $15,-
BOO. 1t is expected that he will be
tried in the Jackson county district
court at the coming term, which will
convene some time in January.

ROUND TRIP TO CHEYENNE.
Young Man Who Goes Joy Riding Has
His Itinerary Rudely Changed
BY Carbon County Sheriff.

Enroute to foreign parts with a con
siderable sum of ill-gotten money which
he had gathered up in Saratoga in
divers ways, and using all possible
speed in the effort to put distance be-
tween himself n those whom lie had
duped, "A young man named William
Edwards, who had been employed for
some time at the local coal mine, had
his plans suddenly interfered with on
Monday evening when Sheriff Pickett
butted into the game and caused the
arrest Of the man by the Cheyenne au-
thorities upon his arrival in that city.
1t seems hat Edwards had assisted
in the collection Of II considerable sum
from various citizens for the ostensible
purpose Of providing Christmas pleas
ures for some youngsters of the COM
munity, and for other charitable pur-
poses, and when he decided that a suf-
ficient sum had been accumulated for
the purpose, he is alleged to have
pocketed the entire accumulation and
skipped. Before leaving town. it is
said, he thoughtfully provided himself
with a little additional spending money
by borrowing a few dollars here and
there from various friends.
Somebody observed him boarding q
train east from Walcott, and his erst.
while friends here Immediately noti-
fled the authorities and the joy-rider
wa quickly apprehended. He will
probably be entertained at the Chateau
d Pickett down at Rawlins for a time
until his case can be attended to by the
district court.
