STOCKMEN FEAR HEAVY
LOSS FROM MILD WINTER
Cattle and Sheep Find Few Drinking
Places; Herds Are Gaunt
And Failing

The frequent compliments be-
slowed upon the weather and our
flights into poetry over the gentle
spring find no echo in the hearts of
the stockmen from all parts of the
State.
Disquieting reports are received
from every section and unless relief
in the shape of storms comes in the
very near future stockmen predict
enormous losses from the death of
sheep and cattle.
The ranges are utterly dry and
according TO the usual custom at
this season of the year, sheep and
cattle were driven from the higher
attitudes to the desert where under
normal conditions would be found
feed and water in abundance.
The long continued drought has
greatly lessened the number of avail
able drinking holes with the result
that the herds gather about these
and it is found to be impracticable
to drive them to other locations In
the hope of finding relief.
The result is that the feed In the
vicinity of the drinking places is
soon gone and cattle and sheep are
SO gaunt that their loss is inevitable
unless the storms come to rescue
them.
Senator w. A. Keddie who has
just returned from Alpine states
that the cattle on the Williams Es-
tate and Geo. B. Williams ranges
are In bad shape and at the best they
anticipate severe losses this year.
unless light storms quickly come to
preeede the usual heavier ones of
the winter.

ing order.
1t is also known that there are a
number of minor faults that must be
corrected by the contractors pending
the acceptance of the building by the
High School board and architect
Wilson.
These faults 1t must be strictly
borne in mind are not of a basic
character and do not in any manner
involve the structural strength of
the building, neither do they have
reference to any disturbance of it's
designs or affect the grade or quality
of the material entering its con-
struction.
The contractors, however, have not
shown a too willing s7'rit in this
connection evidently unG the i'm
preston that these faults would be
overlooked by the architect and that
the formal acceptance of the work
which would relieve them of further
responsibility would be agreed to.
Upon this point the architect is
particularly firm and will not even
debate the questions involved and it
is believed that the contractors vii
bow TO the inevitable and proceed at
once to o fulfllment OF their con-
tract according to the plans and
specifications.

FOOD SURVEY AGENCY IS
PLANNED IN SAN FRANCISCO
Representative of Bureau of Mar
kets to Assist Dealers and Others
Who Must Report

tional inventory of foods in the
States of California and Nevada,
The Bureau of Markets of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture,
which has the War Emergency Food
Survey in charge, has placed an ag-
ency of the Survey with its local Of
fee at 1131 Merchants Exchange
Building, San Francisco, California.
Mr.. r. d. Jarboe, in charge of the To-
cal office, has received a supply of
the schedules and will distribute
them in response to personal or mail
requests on or after January 2.
Copies of the schedule have been
mailed from Washington to most
dealers in food materials in the
above named states. The names of
new concerns, and of a few others
we're not available, however. and ar
rangements have been made there
fore to supply them locally. Appli
cations for schedules should not be
made to the local agency before jan
uary 2. This will permit schedules
mailed from Washington to reach
their destinations and thus eliminate
duplication.
Persons Required TO Report
Mr.. r. ID. Jarboe points out that
the Act of Congress providing for the
War Emergency Food Survey re-
quires every dealer in, and manufact-
urer of, foods or food materials, and
every holder of such commodities in
lots substantially greater than fami-
ly supplies, to fill out a schedule and
mail it to the Chief of the Bureau of
Markets, Washington, d. c., by jan
uary 10, 1918, and fixes the penal
ties for failure to do so. This in
cludes not only all wholesale end re-
tail dealers in foods and feeds, pub
lie warehousemen and food and feed
manufacturers, regardless of the
size of the stocks which they hold,
but also those in charge of hotels,
restaurants, commissaries of indus
trial concerns, schools, institutions,
ETC., providing that their stocks on
hand have a value of $3.50 or more.
Even manufacturers are included
who use food product in the prep
aration of another product which
cannot be considered a food, such as
bottling. chewing gum and drug man
ufacturing concerns.
Holders of foods of the classes
named above who have not received
a schedule through the mails by
January2, or who need additional
copies, should obtain them on appli-
cation.
The War Emergency Food Survey
will be the most comprehensive in
ventory of foods ever made in the
United States. Its purpose is to show
the total stocks of food and food
materials on hand in the country so
that the public and the officials of
the government may have the neces-
sary information on which to base
plans for conserving and distributing
supplies already on hand, and for
producing the foods needed next
season.
The non-receipt of a schedule
through the mails from Washington
does not relieve anyone from max
ing the report who is subject TO its
provisions. The publication of this
notice therefore will no doubt be of
interest, and possibly of material
benefit, to some of our readers.

CLAIMS sOLO IS INSANE.
Divine Rebuked For Doubling Y. S.
Government Evidence.

Paris, Feb. ~. When the trial by
court martial of Paul Bolo Pasha for
treason was resumed his brother, Mgr.
Bolo, prominent as pulpit orator, took
the stand in his behalf. He declared
that he was a patriot first of all and
WAS defending his brother because of
the conviction that he was insane.
Mgr. Bolo, speaking Of the prisoners
journeys to Switzerland, expressed the
opinion that Bolo Pasha's purpose in
going to see the former khedive, Abbas
Hilrni. was to win him over to the side
Of the allies.
The divine ridiculed the idea that q
man SO wise in the ways of the world
and SO cynically clever as Count Won
Bernstorff, former German ambassador
at Washington, could have mistaken
Bolo Pasha for an important political
parsonage. The witness scoffed at the
idea that any of the references in Count
Won BernstOrffs telegram to Berlin
were to the prisoner.
Colonel Voyer, president of the court,
called Mgr. Bolo to order for challeng-
ing the authenticity Of the Benstorff
kilograms since, he pointed out they
had been vouched for by tho United
States government.
Mgr. Bolo made the most Of the pre-
sumption that Hugo Schmidt and
Adolph Pavenstedt, from whom evil
deT1oe was obtained III America again 6:
Bolo Pasha, were German spies.
The deposition of Pavenstedt made
before judges in the United States, was
then read to the court.
