two or three hundred head Of cattle
The spot is Il veritable oasis, where
grass along the stretch of the canyon
springs up as if by magic and shrubs
remain green beyond a seeming posi-
blity. The cattle Of the ranch prove
that, with an abundance Of sweet wa
ter animals may mnintain fairly
good condition by browsing on desert
shrubs, for on the surrounding noun
tains there is no grass whatever.
There are, however, other groWtfs be-
sides shrubs, notably the mescal, upon
which cattle feed.
If the animals can find a place for
their muzzle between the sharp spnes
Of the mescal they greedily eat the rich
heart. Many miles Of desert plain,

stock, presents the foliage. with It's

Wonderful Floral Display.
For the most part in the desert
there is no grass, horses and burros
living on the branches Of small leaf
less tree called dipua.
Surrounding Calmalli these branches
are Topped off, made into bundles and
ptcked to the mining camp on tho
backs Of burros from distance Of ten
or fifteen miles. The ability Of AMI.
mails to support life on dipua is, how
ever, an acquired art, for animals that
are taken into the region from Gods
country ut first refuse it, and can only
be induced to eat it by the bitter force
Of starvation. Yet it was on the bor-
der Of this desert where I saw the
most beautiful floral display that
ever Witnessed; miles Of glorious white
lilies, the desert amaryllis, frequently
showing as many as IS superb flowers
on one spike. The bulbs were very
deep in the ground, usually about one
foot below the surface, and from the
growth displayed must have found
abundant moisture, though 1t had prob
ably been many months since rain fell.
The flowers gave out a delicious fra
GRANGE and were quite as large and
fine as the Easter lily furnished by
our florists.
It was an excellent example Of the
wonderful surprises and contradictions
presented by the desert. Often where
it seems as though nothing could pos
sibly grow, there will appear in the
spring, as If by magic, beautiful flow
crs Of varied hues, though usually
there will be displayed only n flower

of leaves, for nature, in such PLACES Of

athletes of the eastern university and
has won fame as wrestler as well as
other branches Of sport.
The Omaha young man is probably
the only son of old Eli from this city

elected to the senior societies were
tapped at Palm Beach, Fla, where
they are serving with the Yale aerial

we're tapped fer Skull and Bones and
six for Scroll and Keys.
A feature of the exercises was the
tapping Of Charles P. Taft, I'd, son
Of former President Taft, as the f.

be accorded. Newell Garfield Of West

ALLIES MAKE Big
PROFITS IN WHEAT
Deals Through Chicago Brok-
ers Result in Gains Of Many
Millions in Two Months.
BIG JUMP IN PRICES

Chicago, April 20.--The allied gov
ernments, dealing through Chicago
brokers, are credited today with hav-
ing made a profit of more than
$3,500,000 in the last two months in
turns on the graiE market by chang
ing from one option to the other.
This profit, II is said, was made by
selling a line Of July wheat and buy
ing the September option at q price
approximately so cents below the
July option.
The allies, it is said, for year have
simply had speculative profits forced
on them. They had no desire to
speculate, but bought for future de-
livery with the desire to obtain ac-
tual wheat Car shortages, embar-
goes and the inadequacy of ocean
shipping prevented deliveries at speei-
ihed times and the contracts were
sold out at profits running well into
the millions.
At the opening OF the market to-
day July wheat shot up : cents to
SILL, and September 1871 cents to
Sl,89.

Heflin Matter Is
Still Simmering
Efforts of Party Leaders of Both Sides
TO Stifle Discussion Proves Fu-
tile.
q. N. S. Leased wire)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-Despite the
organized efforts of Republicans and
Democrats alike to keep the Heflin
charges smothered Representative Ma
son of Illinois today forced a ruling
that a question of personal privilege
was involved in statements Heflin
made about him on August 3, charg-
ing him inferentially with treason.
Mr.. Mason caught the parliamentar-
ian of the majority side off his guard
by basing his question of privilege on
the remarks made by Heflin August
8 instead of those more recently. Rep
resentative Garrett of Tennessee at
tempted to argue that there was no
privilege involved but was laughed
down by the house.
Mr.. Mason denied flatly that he had
introduced a bill for the repeal of the
draft law, and in the words of Mr.
Heflin of which he complained to
'leave the country without an army
Heflin will attempt to reply later.
The Illinois representative stated
Mr. Heflin admitted flatly for
the first time that Mr.. Mason was one
of the men he had in mind when he
said thirteen or fourteen" men il
congress had "acted suspiciously" in
connection with the Won Bernstorfi
"slush fund"
At the outset Mr.. Mason explained
that the people of the country are a
war and are not interested in a con
troversy between Mr.. Heflin and him
self.
"I feel like apologizing to the
house." he said, "for taking your time
but if the man who made the state
ment was as well known in my state
as he is in congress, I would not take
the time"

Senator to Speak in His

Regarding the Effect of Inac-

WASHINGTON, Oct. Am investi-

consin warrant his impeachment for
Sedition became a strong probability
today, following an hours session of
the senate privileges and election COM
mittee. The committee will meet
again tomorrow to decide finally what
action it will take.
The committee today became clear
ly of the opinion that it has authority
to make an investigation without
specific instructions from the senate.
At tomorrow's session it probably will
be finally decided if and when the
investigation should be made
Discussion revealed a growing SEN
timent in favor of an investigation
to satisfy the demands pouring into
the senate for LaFollette's expulsion.
Many members of the committee took
the position that the demand for ac-
tion was becoming too insistent to be
longer ignored.
The advisability of letting Senator
LaFollette down with a sharp repri
mand in the form of a resolution OF
censure also was discussed today. The
introduction of such a resolution in
the senate at this time, however, would
stir up bitter dissension and prolone
the session indefinitely, it was feared
On the other hand the privileges and
election committee could conduct the
investigation after the adjournment
and be ready to make its recommen-
dation just as soon as congress re-
conyenes in December

regarding the demands for his expul-
sion. He plans to take the floor to-
day or tomorrow with carefully pre-
pared speech answering his critics and

since the war started.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4 - Drafted
men apprehended and tried as desert
ers will not be permitted to escape
service by being dishonorably dis
charged after serving a sentence of
confinement.
This official statement was made
by Provost Marshal General Crowder
today. The policy of the department
Will be-" he said. "to retain them in
the service after they have been pun
ished."
Commanding officers have been or
dered to instruct their officers to ex-
anime personally all men charged
with desertion.
If it is found they did not fully
realize the gravity of their offense
and can satisfactorily explain their
failure to comply with the orders OF
the military authorities" General
Crowder said, they will be sent to
the proper cantonment without trial
for desertion and be permitted to at
tain an honorable status. Those who
fully seek to evade the draft by fail
ing to report will be tried for deser-
ton if apprehended.'
There is no present intention of ap-
plying the death penalty to those
guilty of desertion under the draft
