She was the mother of three sons,
one of them, Julian, having died four
years ago.
One son, Howard, is in the South

WASHINGTON, D. C., March S.
Though insurgents in the House con-
tinue to annuonce they will fight .

endeavors to become minority floor
leader, with each day there comes -ea-
son to believe the insurgents are vast
ing their efforts There is little doubt .
now that Clark will be the minority !
floor leader when the tumult dies.
To interview the Clark supporters is |
to obtain information as to why he
was so popular in the House and as to !
why his strength continues even unto
this day. Clark was a floor leader
who was not a dictator, but who led
through weltdng the organization INTO /
a place where every man served. /
Compared With Williams.
1t was pointed out Friday by one of
the old members how he differed from !
John Sharp Williams, when Williams
was floor leader. Williams ruled with
an iron hand, his word was law and
the other Democrats had to take his ,
orders or leave them.
"When Clark came into power he
adopted other tactics" an old member
said. "He called the Democrats togeth- .
er and told them he needed their as
sistance to make a success of the job /
He told the ranking Democratic men,
Der of each committee that it was TO
be his duty to keep in touch with ev-

fore the committee and then to keep /

Kitchin Supporting Clark

1t was being related Friday also
that the insurgents would have no sup
port from Representative Claude
Kitchin, floor leader in the last House.
Kitchin is said to have been offered
the floor leadership if he would join
in the fight to oust Clark, but he re-
piled that he would not endeavor to
defeat Clark and that he would leave
Congress before he would join the
movement. The insurgents now are
fighting Kitchin along with Clark.
The Clark forces also contend that
if the insurgents carry out their pro-
gram, the individual members will
have no opportunity to represent the
voice of their district, and they will
have to bow to the will of the Steering
Committee.
"They will never get me to do that,
if l have to leave Congress" insisted
one of the Clark supporters in discus
sing the plans of the insurgents.
Clark, according to the predictions,
will not lose one-fourth of the Demo
cratic votes when the caucus is called
to select a floor leader.

woven wire, a barbed wire; 8 inches higher a second barbed wire; the posts being set 2la feet in the ground and spaced one rod apart. Within this in- closure a normal flock of sheep was turned loose. During three seasons the fence was patrolled each morning between 4 and 10 o'clock by hunter with hounds, and although, at first, bears, which easily broke the fence, were numerous, the end of the sec ond season had so reduced them that they no longer constituted a menace. As to coyotes, they are still present, but so far as could be ascertained, not one succeeded in getting inside the fence except when the snow lay deep in winter, and they caused no loss whatever.
 To compare the number of sheep that the range in question would SUD- port under the two systems, observa- tions were made to ascertain the graz ing capacity of approximately 3O,0O0 acres surrounding the experimental area. During the first year the herd ed flocks used from one and a halt to two times as much range per head as the pastured sheep, the second sea- son showing similar percentage.
 The lambs were weighed and mark ed at the time they were turned loose in the inclosed pasture, and weighed again when taken out at the close of the summer season. The records show that the pastured lambs gained on an average of 20 pounds during the first season of approximately 90 days, while lambs of the same grade han dled under herding on the range aver aged only 15 pounds gain during the same period. The difference was in creased to from to 10 pounds the succeeding seasons. The greatest loss under pasture for the four sea. sons never reached 1 per cent, and went as low as one-fifth of 1 per cent, while the loss from herded flocks near by varied from 1 to 4 per cent.
 As to the wool growth no definite figures have yet been arrived at; but the owner of the lambs raised in the pasture the first season stated that, when they were sheared the following

GRAZING SHEEP ON
 FENCE ENCLOSED
 PASTURE IN OREGON

Probably only a small minority of the sheepmen in this country know that by using a system of fenced pas lures, instead of the present open range herding, they can increase the size of their lambs from five to ten pounds in single season, make the wool clip from one to three pounds heavier, reduce the acreage now re- quired one-third, and decrease the present loss and the cost of handling four-fifths. These figures represent the records of cooperative experi- ments carried on for a number of years by the U. S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Plant Industry.
 For the experiments, an area of typical sheep range, 2,500 acres in ex- tent, on the Wollowa National Forest in northwestern Oregon, was selected and inclosed by combination woven wire and barbed-wire fence, so sub stantially built that it is practically coyote-proof. This fence consists of a four-point barbed-wire fence on the surface; 8 inches above this is AZ inch woven-wire fence with 4-inch tri- angular mesh; inches above the

COLORADO IS UP AGAINST
 IT FOR NEW STOCK BRANDS

The Colorado State Brand Board has announced that it is Cup against it" for new brands. There are be- tween 10000 and 45,000 different cat tie brands recorded in the books of the state, and every day finds new ap- plicants for brands, with none to be had. The various letters of the alpha bet and the figures already have been used in about every conceivable com- bination.
 One thing that stamps the Colorado brand board as unique, is the fact that the same brand is let out to but one person, who can place it anywhere on the body of his stock, while other states where brands are recorded, ex- cept California, give out the same brand to six persons, each one to use it in a different part of the animals anatomy. This reduces the possibility of ever running out of brands.
 The "101" brand has probably been burnt into the hides of more brute ami mals than any other. It belongs to a big outfit which has ranged stock in all the Southwest and is one around which many story and movie scena- rio has been written.
 In Colorado the brand is practically always on the left side, the left hip usually being the selected place A roped animal naturally falls on the right side so that the left hip is at once exposed to the brander's iron. Some owners run the brand clear across the whole side of the animal to make it more easily read.
 Letters are often used in combina- tions with a bar above or below, Or laid down on their side, when they are known as "lazy" letters. With exten- sions or wings, they are known as the flying" letters. There are also signs and hieroglyphics used, as the circle, mule, shoe, keystone, wagon wrench, ladder, diamond, hatchet, cross, OK bow, rabbit ear, etc.
 The Mexicans use some of the most peculiar hieroglyphics resembling the Chinese letters. Such brands are not now permitted, although those in use for years before recording was insti- tuted are still in use.
 The Colorado brand board and live stock associations have inspectors at every shipping point in the state. No shipment of stock, however small, can be billed out without state inspec- tors approval. Each year the state board turns over $50, 900 to owners for stray animals which were picked up and shipped out with other brands and reported by the inspectors.
 Reading brands is a peculiarly diff cult job. In the fall, when the hair is long and cattle are being brought in from the range by the hundreds of thousands, the brand inspector must be able to distinguish any one of all the 10000 to 45,000 brands.-Popular Mechanics.
The Coconino sun., 1919-05-09

year, the clip was at least 1 pound heavier than that of any other lambs of the same age and breeding he had ever Sheared.
 The comparative cost of handling under the two systems depends some what upon the locality. It has been determined, however, that one man familiar with handling under pasture could care for four pastures similar to the one in Oregon, which would mean the care of from 5000 to 10000 sheep. To handle the same number of sheep under open-range herding in the same locality requires the atten- tion of four men working as herderss and two men tending camp. This, ot course, does not take into account the cost of building and maintaining the fence. It is figured, however, that a fence should pay for itself in not to exceed five years, and that with a small cost for maintenance it should last for fifteen years. The fence here referred to has not cost to exceed $5 per mile in upkeep in any one year.
 In any event, the main advantage of raising sheep in this new manner would lie in the protection it affords the flocks. For under pasture the sheep are free and quiet at all times; they grow larger and can be kept in better condition than when herded in the open; and it is recognized fact that the growth of wool and its quail ity is in a large measure dependent on the health of the animals.-Popu- lar Mechanics.
