Reid, of Reid-C -Cashion Cattle Co.,, was visitor Friday from Selig- man, and stated that his firm had closed arrangements to ship and pas ture in Salt River valley at once, 15,- 900 head of ewes, this action having been decided upon to save the lambs.

RANGE DISASTER INVERTED
 BY HEAVY DOWNPOUR

Henry Ritter, a we'll known range man of the Hillside country, a visitor Tuesday, stated that last weeks rain storm was without exception one of the best in results, the soil being penetrated to a depth of 26 inches during the three days of the steady downpour. Warm weather had again appeared and it is expected that new feed will be growing inside week.
 Another unusual situation has aris- en on that range, by all water holes filling up and running over, insuring wide grazing area for livestock. The storm was the first in nearly ten months, and cattlemen are now reliev- ed of facing disaster, which was fast approaching.-Prescott Journal-M CT.

 BE MANY BILLIONS

H. J.

IMPACTION OF THE INTESTINE.

A common sequel of acute indiges- ton and intestinal flatulence is im- paction of the bowel.
 This collie is due to the accumula- tion of food, which remains stagnant in some part of the bowel.
 The symptoms manifested are loss of appetite, animal does not care to move about, constipation, refuses water, coat appears rough and dry. As the disease progresses a slow, steady pain develops and the patient will neither eat or drink. On apply ing the ear to the side the normal murmers of the bowel is absent. This may be said to be positive diagnostic symptoms.
 Treatment: This ailment is one that if properly treated, rarely proves fatal but has a big mortality unless so treated. In this disease we must not expect immediate recovery; on the contrary, from three to six days is the average time. The following pre- scription will give excellent results if combined with one quart of raw linseed oil night and morning until purgation takes place.
 Physostigmine sulphate, 1ls gr.
 Pilocarpine sulphate, 2 gr.
 Strychnine sulphate, gr.
 Distilled water sufficient to make 8 drams. Administer one dram, or one-third of the solution, every twen- ty minutes until all is used.
 To relieve any pain present give one to two ounces of Chloral hydrate in the quart of oil. Keep a pail of fresh water in front of patient at all times.

WILD TURKEYS ARE
 TO BE PROPAGATED

Wild turkey hunters of Arizona will learn with pleasure of the receipt by the state game warden's office of six pure bred Southeastern wild turkeys, one male and five females, from which a pure bred strain of wild tur- keys will be propagated for release in the four game preserves of the state
 The turkeys were purchased from a wild turkey farm at Blabon, North Dakota, where the finest turkeys are raised with which to stock depleted wild game preserves. As these birds multiply rapidly when given protec- tion, it may be expected that there will be excellent wild turkey hunting in this state in few years.
 Reports from deputy game wardens to the office of State Game Warden Willard are that wild turkeys are plentiful in but one of the four wild game preserves of the state, the Blue Range preserve in the Apache Ma tional Forest in Greenlee county. In the Huachuca preserve in Santa Cruz and Cochise counties, the Mount Gra- ham preserve in the Graham moun- tains in Graham county, and the Pinal mountains preserve in Pinal county the wild turkeys are very scarce.
 These last three game preserves will be the first to be stocked with wild turkeys.

The city council met in regular ses-
sion Monday evening. 1t being the
first meeting Of the year considerable
business was up for consideration.
In addition to the regular gist of
bills audited and allowed, two ordi-
nances were passed and one intro
duced.

tated on account OF the department
having been reorganized with fewer
members since the purchase of the
motor truck and apparatus.
The other was an ordinance regu-
lating the closing time Of pool halls
and bowling alleys.
The ordinance introduced was in
reference to having snow and ice re-
moved from sidewalks and charging
the expense to abutting property.

tion to the council members and en-
ployes of the city with reference to
keeping down expenditures during the

Coal Miners Object
To the New Prices

Minot, Jan. 8.-The Northwestern
district of the North Dakota Ignite
Operators association met here to-
day. After a long session in which
they took up the reduction of price
of so cents per ton they decided to
ask for a hearing and will submit
evidence of the impossibility Of run
ming their mines at less than So per
ton on the car at the mine at present
cost of mining.
They claim that during the last year
the cost of timbers has increased 80
per cent, steel tracks and tools has in
creased over 100 per cent and labor
SO per cent. All claim that they are
not getting the profit of former years
at the present higher price and claim
that the new price of two and one
half dollars will cause them to shut
their mines down. They will have a
hearing at Bismarck by petition on
the 18th before Administrator l. P.
Baker and will ask for a reinstate-
ment of the three dollar price for this
part of the state. They claim that
thecoal is more expensive to dig in
the northwestern part Of the state
than in the southern part because of
soft roof, water, thin veins and other
reasons of similar nature.
E.. E. Devol presided at the meeting
which closed by authorizing Chairman
Dorr H. Carroll Of the Council Of De-
tense to offer the use of the mines to
the government for the period Of the
war, and for at least one year for
any equitable compensation to be
determined by H. A. Garfield the fed
eral administrator. n - =

Washington, Jan. 7. The su-
preme court today declares the draft
law constitutional.
Chief Justice White, in handing
down the decision on the nine cases
against the draft law that reached the
supreme court said the argument of
the objectors was absolutely devoid
Of merit" . ~yt
"Cur mind is unable to conceive that
raising an army by draft is slavery
and violates the thirteenth amend
ment," White said.
The decision of the court was unan-
imous. Refuting the argument of the
objectors that congress did not have
the power to draft citizens Chief
Justice White said:
''As the mind cannot conceive an
army without men to compose it, on
the face Of it, the question that it does
not give power 30 provide such men
seems to be too frivolous for further
notice.
Settled in Nine Cases
The decision of the court settles the
corstitutionality of the selective SER
vice law in nine cases. Eight of these
we're advanced and considered jointly
in order to settle the draft question
at one blow.
In arguments before the supreme
court December Is and IA, the main
attack of the objectors was that the
constitution did not empower the fed
eral government to make direct draft
on it's citizens. This power was never
surrendered by the states, it was held
and the draft should have been made
through the individual states.

New Plan for Caring
for Wounded Soldiers

With the American Army in France,
Sunday, Jan. 6.-Plans for the care of
American soldiers include a radical
departure from former methods of
treating wounded. An announcement
made today by Surgeon General Brad
ley says that a method has been for
mulated assuring that each case con-
tinuous treatment from the dressing
station on the fighting line, through
many hands to the base hospital.
This coordination has been marked
out by DR.. J. M. T. Finney Of Johns
Hopkins university, who has been ap-
pointed director Of the surgery section
It does away with the more frequent
examination cf wound dressings which
has been the method in other armies.
Splints Standardized
Another departure is the standardi
zation of splints. Heretofore every
surgeon. even in the armies, used
splints on his own devising, making
a great number of varieties. The Brit
ish army doctors have been so i'm
pressed with the American plan and
the manual explaining it, that they
asked and received permission to
adopt it themselves.
Plan for the. care of the blind in
clude instruction to begin as soon as
possible after the wound has been re-
ceived, experience in other armies
having shown that quick treatment
and instruction are most valuable.
Personal instruction will be continu
ed until the blind reach the United
States. DR.. George E. De Schweinit,
of Philadelphia will be n charge of
treatment of the blind and also will
direct all head surgery, such as
throat and facial.
Americans Have Advantage
In these departures, as we'll as in
others, American medical men have
had the advantage Of the experience
of all the other armies. They have
adopted the best of each and they
have made Improvements where 1t is
possible.
Since it has been found that speedy
treatment of wounds results in a
greater saving Of life, divisional am
bulance sections have been modified
to three quarters of their strength
It is expected the resulting speed will
almost cause merging of the collec-
ton, of field hospitals and evacuation
hospitals, where there are special
operating rooms and special wards
for special injuries. Up to this time
only male nurses have been used at
advanced hospitals, but the new
American plans provide for female
nurses there, the British and French
having found them valuable.
