HOW ABOUT IT, MIR. HoovER7

The Rio Grande railroad officials
have been advised to refuse all ship
ments of sheep or cattle, from this
basin to eastern points. The order
having become effective Sunday at
fidnight.
When it is remembered that right
now is the time for shipment of our
lamb crop, and beef crop. and that
hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth of stock is now ready for ship
ment, and more will soon be ready,
with no adequate way of holding in
the basin for more than few days,
the seriousness of the situation will
be appreciated.
Chas. Heather, Elmer Hatcher
and W. II. Long alone have 100 cars
of sheep ready to ship now.
The fault is not with our narrow
guage, as local cars are available, but
the railroad war board holds that no
broad guage cars are obtainable to
transport this stuff to market plac-
es.
Local stock men have appealed to
Mr. Hoover, the food dictator, in hope
that he, realizing the necessity, from
national food standpoint, of plac-
ing this stock on the market, may
order sufficient broad guage cars re
leased from other service, to enable
the Rio Grande officials to counter
mand their order not to receive fur
ther stock shipments.

TENNIS FIXTURE OFF
Chevy Chase Clubs Spring
Tourney Is Postponed.
COMMITTEE MEN ENLIST

The cancelng of the annual spring
invitation tennis tournament held by
the Chevy Chase Club is due solely to
conditions arising from the present
state of war existing between this
country and Germany. James H. Hop
kins, a member of the Chevy Chase ten
mis- committee and president of the
Washington Tennis Association, has en-
listed in the reserve officers division of
the United States Army and so many
of the other members Of the committee,
as well as the tennis players themselves
have taken, similar steps that it was the
only way to solve the question. Hopkins
says: I'VE feel that in view of the fact
that so many of the. members of the
tennis committee here have offered their
services to the government in its hour
of need, that it is necessary that the
spring tournament be postponed in
definitely. The event did not receive
the sanction of the United States Ma
tional Lawn Tennis Association until
April u, only two weeks before the
opening date and barely time enough to
mail our invitations. This would hard
ly give the visiting players. of whom we
get good many each year, time to ar
range their schedules so as to include
our tournament. All Chevy Chase tennis
events with the exception OF the Closed
tournament and the matches for the
Washington Tennis Association trophy
have been called off for this year"
