ARIZONA LILY AVERTS LARGE
 RANGE LOSS
YAVAPAI CATTLE OUTFIT KINDS THE YUCCA PLANT AND FEEDS IT DURING DROUTH WITH SUCCESS.
(From Saturdays Daily)


 That stately and beautiful desert plant commonly known as the yucca. which thrieves principally in arid re- gions in abundance, is serving a good purpose and its utility as a forage for range cattle has been recently, fully demonstrated. An arrival yesterday from Eureka district brought news that the D. c. Cattle Go. had been making experiments with range stock this winter in feeding this native growth. and only few tests were required to demonstrate its use fitness as a food and for rapid fat tening.
 The move was made primarily to try out this plant in order to save if possible many head of cattle, as the country was passing through a severe drouth, and unless remedy was applied losses would have been heavy.
 Accordingly, the yucca was dug up and chopped into small pieces, being placed in feeding boxes to try out the livestock. Instantly the animals seized the food with voracious ap- petite, and then the virtue of the desert lily" was appreciated. A grinding machine, propelled by gas oline engine was installed at quite heavy expense, and the crisis was averted The process of reducing the plant is by crushing the stems in grinder, after the top leaves with the flowers thereon have been fully stripped off, cattle refusing to eat any but the pulp from the stalks. The fineness of the finished product car be made any desired size, and carries quite pronounced odor of sweeten' ;ng matter. Cattle devour it instant ly and with the moisture contained they required but little water. The fattening properties of this food ar' also pronounced, and the above firm shipped to market over 100 head II prime condition. The yucca is saic to be inexhaustible and on the hold ings of the D. c. Co.,, enough is or hand to last for many years.

BEN ALLRED, IN THE AR MY, IS WRITING HOME SOME LIVELY AND IN- TERESTING LETTERS TO SISTER.
CFrom Saturdays Daily)

Ben Alfred, well known heFe, IS now in Siberia in the American army, but his location cannot be given on account of the censorship. He is writing to his sister, Mrs Fitzhugh Lee. of Mint Valley, interesting let ters. from which are taken the fol- lowing:
 "You will have to guess where am. but that it is away into the in terior must be inferred. In front of IS and behind us we are ice bound, and I dread the coming of orders to 20 back. It now seems as if we will soon be moving out of the country, and it will be worse than staying here.
 "When we first landed here the country was beautiful, but now it is veritable ice pack, and SO gloomy. Thermometers here have to be doubled up to catch the frigid stuff, and tell you it IS some cold day and night, without any let up.
 "Talk about people of the stone age. here you meet the genuine ar ticle. The natives are of peculiar personality and are primitive in dress and manner of living. There is a big population, and less than ten per cent can read and write. Many are sub iects of the old regime in Russia wno had been serving sentences in foul prisons for many, many years, and were liberated only a short time ago In being turned loose these mental and physical wrecks have drifted in all direction, and how they subsist Is miracle. They are amalgamated with the native born, and the latter have not the faintest conception Of civilization. Tie wild Apache of Yav- apai in early days is far ahead of these poor natives Customs of ages ago are still observed, and the Primi- tive of the lowest type is still in evil dence. When Americans entered this country as their saviOrs, in the honest belief of these ignorant peo' pie we were considered as being dev. ils. as invaders to destroy them and rob them of their pittance We were ieered for our mode of dressing, and openly made fun of in many other ways of conducting ourselves as civil ized beings. I have gather from these races some decidedly interesting souvenirs to give to you, and when each is explained for what use 1t is, you will appreciate what I write.
 "On the other hand we have been in some zones where the people are quite well advanced, fairly educated, and from them the American has re- ceived a fine greeting. But this ele- ment is in the minority"
 Alfred is a native of Prescott, and entered the army at Camp Fremont, Cal, about one year ago. His fine craftsmanship on one occasion gave him the reputation of the best shot in the ranks of the army. To win this renown his feat was to shoot off hand at silhouette target on the range 600 yards distant In ten shots fired in less than one minute he hit his object at vital point nine times. The accuracy and rapidity of his rifle work excited admiration, and is said to be without parallel in the army. Alfred was distinguished in this section for his clever rifle work, and has been known to kill a dear on the run at a distance of over 300 yards.

 WASHINGTON, Mar. 7.-The Sixty-fifth or great war Congress passed into history Monday with fin. al taps of the gavel by Vive-Presi- dent Marshall and Speaker Clark at noon.
 Unusual scenes of confusion in the final rush to complete its work ac- companied the closing hours Of Con- gress, in which President Wilson, just back from France in his room off the Senate chamber, hastily signed many last-moment measures.
 Stupendous was the record of the Congress. which carried the nation into and through the war and which had been in almost continuous ses- sion since it was called by Presi- dent Wilson into extraordinary ses' sion on April ?, 1917, to declare wal against Germany. It appropriated about S6O,OOO,OOO,OOO, authorized $25,i OO0,OOO.OO0 in bonds, and enacted countless measures for prosecuting the war and of domestic import. The new Congress will take up the limit. less task of reconstruction problems ratification of the peace treaty anC other vital questions, probably i'm mediately after the return of Presi dent Wilson from his second visit tc France.
 Special features of the Sixty-fiftf Congress were many addresses by President Wilson, including those re commenting war with Germany anc Austria, that of Jan. 8, 1917, ennncia ting his famous fourteen principle: of peace, and those endorsing woman suffrage, announcing the armistic' terms imposed upon Germany las November and, his recent address de tailing accomplishments of his worl
 
 at Paris.
 There were three sessions of tho Congress. The first, extra sessior met April ?. 1917, following shortly after the turbulent and successful Senate filibuster on the adminstra ton armed ship bill which marked the close of the Sixty-fourth Con gress. The dramatic night address O President Wilson to urge war witl Germany, which was promptly de clared, marked the opening of the eN tra session, called but few week after the Presidents inauguration 10. T second term. The session closed October 6, 1917, lasting lSS days. Int second session-lasting 354 days anC the longest in the history of Ameri can government-began Dec. 3, 1917 and adjourned November 2l, last fThe third and final session whicl ended today began Dec. ? last, anC was the statutory short session of 9, i days

Complexion Changed

Complexion ChanSeQ
 Substantial democratic majorities in both Senate and House since Presi- dent Wilson's inauguration six years ago now have passed. In the new Congress, the Senate will have 49 re- publicans and 47 democrats and the House 23S republicans and 193 dem. ocrats, l socialist, independents and one prohibitionist.
 Many veterans in both houses re. tired with the adjournment In the Senate these included Senators Sauls- bury of Del, president protempore; Lewis of H., democratic whip; Sha- froth, of Colo, Thompson of Kansas, Hardwick of Georgia, Hollis of New Hampshire, and Vardaman of Miss issippi: Golf of West Virginia; Smith of Michigan and Weeks of Massachu- sets. Among prominent representa- tives whose services ended were Miss Jeanette Rankin of Montana, the first woman elected to the House; Meyer London of New York, Socialist; Swa- ger Sherley of Kentucky, chairman of the appropriations committee; Hayes, California; Heating, Colorado. Powers of Kentucky, Foster, Illinois. Cox, Barnhart and Dixon of Indiana Miller, Minnesota; Borland. Missouri; Parker, New Jersey; Gordon, Ohio: Farr, Pennsylvania; O'Shaunessy. Rhode Island; Slayden, Gregg and Dies, Texas; and Cooper and Staf- ford of Wisconsin.
 Partisan politics, although it cous- ed the mandate for change from democratic to republican control ol Congress, was largely buried during the war period, war measures being hastily rushed through with big bi- partisan majorities. Many contro versies, however, marked the Con- gress. Among these were the 19l7- 1918 question of war efficiency, de- ve1oped from an investigation of the Senate military committee and reach ing a climax in the dispute between President Wilson and Senator Cham berlain of Oregon, chairman of the committee, Others involved the lea guc of nations, the Overmas bill con ferring unlimited authority on the
