Why Salem Is "Pepper Port"

The first shipment of pepper ever
brought into the United States was
landed at Salem, Mass, by Jonathan
Carnes, a Salem captain, in the year
1875. Other captains discovered the
vast profits to be made by the i'm
portation Of pepper. and so 1t came
about that, up to as recently as 1861.
Salem was known among seafaring
men as the Pepper port"

Broken With Carranza.

Secret service agents continued Sat

number OF well known Mexican mill

ing the rumor Friday of a prospective
break between Carranza and Obregon.
The unusual activities OF these Mex

hotels and in rooming houses which
have been junta headquarters here for
more than month
An emphatic denial Of the rumor OF a
semi official character was issued by
Andres Garcia, inspector general Of
Mexican eonsulates and the ranking
civil official on the American border.
ct am in position TO deny absolutely
and emphaticaIly the unfounded rumor
that Gen. Obregon is planning or has
planned a movement against Gen. Car

never been questioned" he said.
E. Soriano Bravo. Mexican consul to
FL Paso. said:
There is not the slightest truth in
the report that Gen. Obregon has repu-
dated Mr.. Carranza. He is still acting

BREEN TO BE THE
 CHIEF CRAFTSMEN

Col. Fred S. Breen, editor and pub lihser of the Coconino Sun who was appointed by Governor Campbell to take charge of the federal census, left for Phoenix several days ago without the least idea of what he was up against. After sizing up the situation since arriving, Col. Breen realizes that he has a big task before him. He opened his offices in the adjutant gen erals headquarters yesterday and be- gan studying up the federal selective draft measure which becomes a law tonight,
 The exact plan by which the gov ernment expects to secure the names of every male inhabitant of the state is not known but it is understood that the procedure will be similar to that of an election. Every male will be expected to register at the polls in the various precincts on certain date, which will be announced later. The president is expected to declare a holi- day on the date named for registra- ton.
 It will be Col. Breen's duty to in struct the sheriffs of the state how to proceed, the later being given the power to appoint registers. After the names have been received, Col. Breen and staff of assistants will prepare them alphabetically and forward them to Washington. Outside of these few duties, Col. Breen has nothing to do but he is not worrying about how he will kill time.-Phoenix Gazette.

UNCLE SAM WILL NEED HORSES

A requisition for 250,O00 horses is being prepared by the War Depart ment at Washington. It is expected that contracts will be let by June 1. In official circles it is proposed by dividing the country into five zones to get the entire number within sixty days, but traders are skeptical.
 If the present United States gov ernment specifications are insisted on the feat will be impossible. During the past two and a half years the British, French and Italian govern ments have sent over one million horses across the Atlantic, and signs of scarcity are detected.
 Pending buying by the United States government, British inspections have been suspended, and it is prob able that hereafter Washington will buy horses for all the allies.
 Trade authorities differ in opinion as to the available supply of aged horses. The United States government proposes to take only ages of 5 to 8 years. It is doubtful if a million of that kind can be gathered promptly. When the war began, however, pre- diction was made that before this horses would be selling at materially increased prices, and yet they are lower than two years ago. It is a situation where prognostication is i'm possible.
The Coconino sun., 1917-05-25
PROSPECTIVE MEAT SUPPLY

If the meat supply of the United States is to be increased materially it must be by the pork route. That the country is not getting back into the sheep business with any degree of alacrity is evident, cattle raising is a slow process, and but for the fecund- ity and early maturity of the porcine species the prospect of meatless days would be alarming.
 Consumption of small meats is en- ormous and as mutton is constantly growing more scarce pork must make good the deficiency. Heretofore the commercial hog supply has been pro duced in the corn belt, but that area is no longer equal to the emergency. A stock hog trade is slowly develop ing that has promised and will prob ably expand. Under such conditions pork production could be easily doubled and there will be a place to put every pound of the product.
 Iowa, Illinois and Missouri will be able to use a million stock hogs an- nually; other sections of the corn belt as many more. Feeding sheep and lambs are reaching dangerous prices and the stock pig with its capacity for making big gains will make an excellent and satisfactory substitute.
