MAY DAM VIRGIN RIVER

Edward l. Cox, Mormon bishop at Bunkerville, is asking the Mormon church for an appropriation of $25,- 900 to be used in constructing a dam across the Virgin river at that place. The residents of Bunkerville have used the waters of the Virgin river for years for the irrigation of their ranches, and to generate power for flour mill and cotton gin, but many fertile acres along the mesa cannot be reached with present methods and a dam appears to be the only saliva tion.
 A few miles further up the river a big irrigation dam was under consid- eration for many years, but every company tackling the job fell down. The country in and about Littlefield is ideal for irrigation and with a dam in the Virgin at that point many thousands of acres would be brought under cultivation, and at low costs. Littlefield is in Mohave county Kingman Miner.

LILLIPUTIAN BULL.

The smallest perfectly formed bull that has ever come to the Kansas City stock yards has arrived. He came in recently in a shipment made from Great Bend, Kansas, by J. F. Petit and was consigned by K. c. Russell of Great Bend. He is a Shorthorn "by persuasion, is less than 30 inches tall, weighs less than $50 pounds and is long two-year- old. Hundreds of stockmen journeyed to the pen of the new arrival today. He will probably be bought in by some commission firm to be retained as a member of the stock yard zoo colony. Stockmen are on the lookout for a similar dwarfed consort for his miniature majesty.-Daily Drovers Telegram.

STOCKMEN SAY EAT MORE
 BEEF AND AVOID FAMINE

How to eat more now in order that there may be more to eat next year will be one of the topics brought before the annual meeting of the American National Live Stock Asso- citation which opens in Salt Lake Jan IA, according to stockmen who plan to attend the meeting. The plan, which touches the consumer in that it would substitute "porkless" day for the present "meatless" Tuesday is based on the declaration that un- less the demand for beef and mutton for domestic consumption is increased soon, there will be shortage of these meats the spring and summer of next year.
 The stockmen assert that while a normal or enlarged number of steers and sheep are being fattened for mar ket this winter, if there should be no increase in prices, or if the present prices should not be maintained, few CT would be fattened next winter, with a corresponding decrease in the number sold for slaughter. Contin- uance of the present decreased con- sumption, due to "meatless" days, they declare, will mean a glut of the market and lowering of prices.
 Another subject which the live stock men expect to consider is the possibil- ity of changes in the transportation system due to the taking over of the railroads by the government. Reports from the market committee, touching on the investigation of the meat in dustry being made by the federal trade commission; discussion of na- tional forest use for grazing purposes; the "640 acre subjects bill"; the live stock industry and the war, and other subjects, many of them technical, also are to be presented at the meeting.

ANIMAL PELTS SOAR
 TO FABULOUS PRICE

The high cost of living has desir- able running mate in the high cost of ornamental wearing apparel which has suddenly dawned in another article climbing up to a price never dreamed of in the luxury of adorning ones self with pelt of some favorite animal skillfully made up for the trade.
 For instance the coyote has jumped in a raw state to as high as $10 and not lower than $6. The detestable skunk, of odoriferous renown, also clips $5.50 for his covering, while the wildcat is now in rating as high as $12.50 and as low as s7. The little fox goes for $4.50, and even the jack rab- bit leaps away at cents per pelt.
 The above prices were given yes- terday in circular received by J. H. Drew, and came from St. Louis furrier house. The legal bounty in this state is only $2 for the coyote and lesser sums for the fox and wild cat. In consequence, the county is receiveing at the present time but a limited number of pelts, and the ani- maj department is practically abolish ed. Meatless and wheatless days or dained will soon include hideless days unless peace negotiation are soon realized.-Prescott Journal l-Miner.

FEEDING CACTUS TO
 CATTLE IN CHA co.

Due to the poor range pasture this winter the cattle are dying in many parts of Gila county. About all there is for the cattle to eat is the prickly pear, according to J. R. San dige, U. S. county agricultural agent, who is spending a few days in Globe.
 It is difficult for the cattle to eat the cactus without getting their mouth and throat filled with the thorns. During the past few weeks many of the ranchers have been burning the thorns off the cactus with gasoline and alcohol torches. It is necessary to have torch with a good stiff flame so that it can be pointed downward and burn the spine from the center of the cactus group. The flame must be powerful enough to burn spines a foot from the open ing of the jet.
 There are several good commercial prickly pear torches on the market. MT. Sandige says an ordinary plumb CTS torch on a broom stick, or a small iron rod for handle, will be enough of a torch for the rancher who has only few cattle. Cattle will do we'll on the cactus now, for at this time of the year, the water content of the cactus is small and there is considerable food in them. Globe Record.

Second OF four articles written es-

The Kaiser and his imperialistlc
crowd have proven a poor lot Of
prophets.
The Hohenzollern insane conceit for
world conquest has been backed up not
only by the German military regime,
but by an entire nation Of people who
from childhood up have been taught to
reyel in the supreme egotlsm that every
Hun was a superman, that Germany
was the master nation Of the world and
Gods chosen instrument to reincanate
the universe, being civilizations only
hope and salvation.
And when, after 40 years Of thorough
preparation al home. and leaving the
Shiny trail OF its crafty, insjdlous in
trigue and propaganda spread across
the worlds map, the Hun set the much
vaunted German military machine In
motion TO crush out, ruthlessly, all
civilization the Kaiser and his barbar-
ian henchmen predicted an early and
decisive conquest.
But brave, sturdy. little Belgium
threw a wrench in the works OF the
German iuggernaut, and then France,
Great Britain and Italy and other Euro
pean nations got into the game and
headed off the Huns long rehearsal on
.to-Parls parade.
And finally. after enduring three
years Of insults Of a nature that would
make a iackrabbit turn and spit bull
dog in the face, we Americans knocked
or from our daylight chase after the
almighty dollar. and rose TO punish the
Hun.
And then the Kaiser promptly volun-
teered another prediction, TO the ef-
feet that the day we entered the war
hundreds Of thousands OF American
citizens OF German birth and parentage
would take up arms for the Naterland.
And again he made bum guess. for.
