RAILROAD BILL
 IS CHARGED TO
 SLIGHT EXTENT

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 24.- The administrators railroad mea- sure was slightly altered and addi- tions made to it today by the com mittee which has it under investi- gation and is whipping it in shape to present for passage. It was modi- fled to stipulate that federal opera tion of the roads is absolutely a war measure and shall not prejudice the future policy of the government in it's final solving of the railroad problem under private ownership.
 It was altered so that 1t contains no reference as to when the roads will revert to their owners, but this may be added either by the com mittee or by amendment from the floor of the senate. The committee has nearly finished it's work, and the measure is almost ready to be brought up for final disposition There is no doubt that 1t will pass, as there is no opposition to 1t. It is being rushed as rapidly as pos sible in order that funds may be made available for the purchase of much equipment which Is badly need ed to relieve the congested trans portation situation.

TEDDY ANSWERS
 STONE ADDRESS
 WITH HOT SHOT

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 24.- Roosevelt, speaking tonight before the National Press Club, answered the recent attack made by Senator Stone on him and upon the Repub- licans generally and severely criti- cised the tactics of the senator, de- claring that Stones address was merely an insidious effort by him on the behalf of Germany. Stones speech, he declared, was the first inj oction of partisan politics into the conduct of the war. and was no more creditable to Stone than his former efforts to aid Germany have been. He said that Stone had voted against the United States entering the war and had engaged in filibus- tering against action being taken to defend ourselves. "So fragrant was Stones action," he declared, "it drew a public rebuke from President Will son." He said that no utterances or actions of his needed defending, but that many of Stones were incapable of either defense or excuse.
 He said that he was heartily in favor of the war council proposal and the establishment of a bureau of munitions under the direction of the President and that he supported the senate's committee investigation of the mal-administration of the war department.

 CHARGE OF RED CROSS SOCIETY
AcSoriatet PreSsy

"
 PETROGRAD. Jan. 24-A sensa. tion was created here this morning among foreign diplomats when the Bolsheviki government seized the Russian Red Cross society. This society has heretofore been in the hands and under the control of non. partisans who have been ministering alike Co all factions.
 All the buildings and other prop. erty, as we'll as all equipment owned by the Red Cross was taken over by the Bolsheviki, and it will be run by the government in the future.

 PERMITS USING
 HAM AID BACON

Luther C. Hess, local food admin istrator, has receiycd permission from the territorial food adminis- trator. Royal A. Gunnison. to allow the using of ham and bacon on all days in this vicinity. and no special conservation will be made on these products.
 MT. Hess wired Gunnison that there was a large suply of ham and bacon on hand here. and that if conservation of these meats was enforced. 1t would mean that much of the meat would spoil. there not being sufficient cold storage facili- ties to take care of the entire supply.
 There will be no relaxation. how ever, of the other rules for conser- vation in Fairbanks, and the meat less and wheatless days will be ob- served as before.

JAPANESE WILL INCREASE ARMY
 AND NAVY HALF

TOXIC. Dec. 31.-Plans have been formulated to add twenty.nine di>i. sionS to the Japanese army.
 At the same time 1t is proposed to so enlarge the Japanese navy that it will consist of three fleets each com p.ising eight battleships and eight battle cruisers. Provision has been made in the Japanese budget for 1918 and 1919 for an initial appro- priation of 70.0O0.0O0 yen. most of which is intended for the purchase of armament and for naval expan. sion.
 IL is proposed to increase the army to twenty-five corps or fifty divisions. each division to consist of 4,200 men in three regiments. The present bri. gade units, under this plan. would be abolished. The expansion will be put into effect gradually.
 This proposed expansion is evi- dence of the reaction upon Japan produced by the great war. It would make effective the movement begun in 1906 to provide an adequate na- tional defense. The plan then adopt ed called for larger army and navy. but international jealousy and party politics made it necessary, after the war with Russia, to postpone action
 The Japanese army at present is composed of twenty-two divisions of four regiments each, or eighty-eight regiments in all, according to pre- vious information from Japan The plan of expansion outlined in the foregoing apparently would add to the Japanese army sixty-two regi- ments. bringing the total to 15O. This, it Is said, wou!d approximately double Japan's fighting strength on land.
 It has been stated that the Japa- nese navy has been rctrogres5ing for years owing to a continued policy of limiting the appropriations for naval construction.

About Five-year Grazing Permits.

Regarding the authorization of five
year grazing permits on government
forest reserves, Secretary Houston OF
the Department of Agriculture says:
"On several of the forests applica-
tions have already been approved for
permits covering a five-year period sub
ject TO an annual reduction of five per
cent to provide for the issuance of per-
mits to new settlers, in addition to such
reduction as might be necessary to pre-
vent damage to the forest.
1T appears that while the stockmen
are ready to subject themselves to
whatever restrictions are necessary for
the welfare of the forests from the
standpoint of timber production or
other primary purposes for which the
land was set aside, yet the possibility

At the National Western Stock Show
in Denver, during the week of January
18th, an effort will be made to inform
the stockmen generally as to the real
situation regarding the demand for live
stock after h a While there has
been an increase in the sheep mt hog
population, it is believed that the cattle
population will show a material de-
crease during the past year. The gov
eminent is going to try to help increase
live stock production of all kinds and
plans looking to that end will be dis
cussed at the Denver show, when it is
expected that there will be a represen-
tative gathering of stockmen from all
parts of the country. The indications
are that show week will bring together
the greatest number of .stockmen that
have ever been seen at one place at one
time. Denver is making unusual prep
arations to take care of this crowd. In
addition to the great Stock Show there
will be held the annual meeting of the
American National Live Stock Associa-
ton.

field over the bringing in of a heavy
producing well % miles east of there,
says the Lander Journal.
The Producers & Refiners Corpora
ton is the company which drilled into
a rich strata of oil sands last week.
The report states that an idea of the
capacity of the new well may be gained
from the fact that the hole is u 15-inch
one, and when the drill went through
the shale and penetrated the oil sands
the oil shot out of the hole into the
air twice as high as the derrick. 1t took
the efforts of the whole drilling crew
some time to get the gusher capped.
Nineteen rigs have already been ship
ped into this field from Rawlins and
Casper and drilling will be at fever
heat as 500 as the derricks can be
erected.
This opens up practically a new field,
as the gusher just brought in is locat-
ed just % miles east of the original
Lost Soldier field.

CFrom Today's Denver Post.)

The best bull in America lives in Denver.
His name is wyoming and he is owned by w. N. W.. Blayney,
merchandise broker, at 1729 Arapahoe street.
AT the International Live Stock Show in Chicago last week, Wyo-
ming defeated all Hereford bulls, 3 years o g or older, and received
the blue ribbon. Nearly every state in the Union had sent its best
livestock to Chicago, while Canada and other sections Of America were
also represented by their prize cattle. But Wyoming, of Denver, was
declared to be the best bull at the show.
Flatterng offers for Wyoming were made to Mr.. Blayney during the
show, but he declined to consider any bids. No price would tempt me-
he told all prospective purchasers.
wyoming is 4 years old and was reared at Saratoga, Wyoming, by
l.. G. Davis. The animal was brought to the Denver Live Stock Show
in 1916, when he Won the blue ribbon and grand championship over all
Hereford bulls. The bull was put up at auction and purchased by Mr..
