SHEEP KILLED THEIR ENEMY
Ordinarily Timid Animals Worked In
Concert to Stamp Life Out Of
Big Rsttiesnske.

One summer morning a farmer in
Virginia started out to salt q small
flock Of sheep that he had recently
put into hllly. overgrown held some
distance from his home. At the pasture
he called for some time, but seeing
or hearing nothing of the sheep he
walked down toward the middle Of the
enclosure and mounted "a tall stump
AT the edge of the brier patch. From
this point of vantage he could see the
flock on piece Of level ground scarce
ly 90 yards below him.
The sheep were crowded into a sway
ing excited circle some 20 feet in di-
ameter.
Presently. while the sheep were
standing still. a big wether made q
spring, landed with his feet In the very
center Of the ring and bounced away
like rubber ball In flash another
followed his lead, and another, until
all had leaped on the same spot Then
away they swept down the hill.
Stepping down from his perch. the
farmer made his way to the scene of
'ais strange performance. By the side
OF the trampled brier clump lay the
msnslsd rsnains Of q big EattlaSpASe

part of Conejos county has been taken
since 1910 to form part Of Alamosa
county, the population Of which al
ready has been announced.

twelve show decreases in population
since 1910 They are Clear Greek.

Cosllla county as il was constituted
in 1910 mas since been taken 10 form
a part Of AlaHosa county, and the fig
urcs 50 far received indicate that there
has been al Increase in the population
of the territory which now constitutes
Costilla county Most of the other
counties showing decreases are min
ing districts. All important agricul-
tuIal counties so far reported show
substantial increases in population.
OF the counties from which reports
arr Jet to be received it is probable
that not more than three will show de
creases in population, and possibly not
more than two, Conejos and Teller. A
very considerable part Of the popula
tion Of Conejos county as it was con
stituted in 1910 has been transferred
TO Alamosa county. Figures so far
announced indicate that there will be
a considerable decrease in the popula-
tion of Teller county. 1t is safe "
assume rat the percentage of increase
in the counties yet TO be reported will
not be much different from that in the
counties so far received, so that the
total population of the state as an
nouneed by the census bureau will not
be far from 975,0OO. This would mean
an actual increase in population for
the state OF about $4,000, or some
what more than 20 per cent

Location at Uranus

The latest calculations. based on
the perturbations Of Uranus. are
stated by DR. Erie Doolittle to show
that the Hypothetical planet beyond
Neptune is nearly four billion miles
from the sun. and requires 2s3 years
to complete a revolution in its orbit.
II is much smaller than other distant
planets, with a mass only six times
that Of the earth. This Is a secret OF
Its elusiveness. and Its discovery Is
expected TO reveal minute body OF
only the twelfth or thirteenth magni-
tude. Search is now being made for
this mystery Of the skies near Geminfs

YIELDED TO TATTOOeR'S ART
OVERWHELMINGLY Experience
Of Swedish Monarch.

II was no secret to his intimstes
that King Edward VII Of England sub
jected his arms TO the art Of q tat
toOer when he was prince OF Wales.
nor is II secret that his son. the
present king. was tattooed by . skill
ful japanese. when as a midshlpman
on board the "Bacchant" he visited
Japan many years ago.
The late car OF Russia wore an
indelibis India-ink dragon on his left
forearm, and quite . nunber OF other
European royalties past and present
have received these indestructibls dec
orations"
But the experience Of Charles XIV
OF Sweden and Norway. makes an In
teresting little story by itself. II was
always d puzzle to those most init
mately associated with him. that he
would never show himself anywhere
with barred arms. IL was not until his
death In 1s44 that the mystery was ex-
pliined. On his right arm were tattooed
neither Il dragon. an eagle nor an In
signia Of high authority, but instead
the red cap Of Liberty. and the motto,
Death TO Kings" As Jean Baptiste
Jules Bernadotte. In his young repub-
lican days In France. he had been thus
tattooed, never dreaming that later be
would be called TO the throne.

From the present outlook, l think
/ that it is safe 10 say Colorado is go
ing TO construct many miles Of con-
order that these concrete roads may
stand up under the service, careful
attention must be given to the ag-
gregate used n their construction.
The sand and gravel should be care
fully tested and determinations made
Us TO the correct proportions Of sand.
gravel and cement. This can be done
in the road testing laboratory Of the
College, and at the present time we
are doing this work free Of charge.
The work may become SO heavy that
it will be necessary to hire more men
in order to keep up with the samples
that are sent in, and if this proves
to be the case it will be necessary for
Us to make a slight charge in order TO
defray the expense.
The next great question is the So
luton of the problem to get the sand
and gravel to the road and into the
concrete mixer. II you will watch the
gangs ut work in concrete road con-
struetion, you will see the immense
amount of work necessary to get the
send and gravel or the road, and into
the mixing machine About half or
two-thirds of the working force are
thus engaged.
In June | visited Thermopolis, Wy
oming, and there | saw the Connor
Construction Company of Denver, at
work on concrete paving for the city
of Thermopolis. They were bringing
the gravel to the mixer in large trucks.
These trucks were divided into COM
partments. The sand and gravel were
loaded into a bin and from the bin
into the compartments of the trucks,
and hauled to the mixer.
The compartments in these trucks
were made just the right size so that
the correct quantity of sand and gravel
for one charge of the mixture would be
contained in two compartments placed
side by side in the truck. When load
ed the truck ran to the mixer and
backed itself into position. elevating
by mechanical means the front part
Of the body OF the truck and then
simply backing it up lever would pull
releasing the end gate of the last two
compartments OF the truck. This al
lowed the sand and gravel to run out
into the loader Of the mixer. The
truck then ran ahead for a few feet.
The cement was dumped into the load
er and the batch was placed in the
mixer. As soon as the loader for the
mixer descended the truck backed up
again. The second compartment was
tripped and the second batch deliver
ed into the mixer and was done with
out any hand labor whatever. as far
a. the loading end at the miser was
concerned
There were three large trucks Oh
this job and the haul was such that
by the time one truck had been IN
loaded ia the manner discussed above
truck No. 2 was in place ready to dis
charge its load. while truck No 3 Wal
loading at the bend.
This method of hauling the aggre
gate and loading the same into tho
mixer was new to me. 1t may prove
to be economical on many Of the con
crete jobs that in. future will be con
structed in Colorado This may b.
old to many but | believe that it can
be done-E b. House. Colorado Ag-

PNEUMONIA.

PNEUMONIA.
CDNEUMONIA occurs in all eli
mates. at all seasons and affects
all ages. 1t is more prevalent dur
ing the seasons of bad weather, win
ter and spring. Prolonged exposure
together with lowersd vitality is q
frequent cause. Anything that will
lower the power OF resistance predis-
poses to pneumonia. The material
couehed up and spit up by pneu-
monia patients contains the pneu-
monia germs; all such material
should be destroyed by burning.
In a large percentage OF cases
pneumonia is readily communicable
from one person to another. Each
case of pnemonia should be regard
ed as point from which the dis
ease may spread. The pnenmonia
patient should be isolated as far as
possible. All articles used by the
pneumonia patients, az dishes, bed
linen. handkerchiefs and clothing.
should be cleaned by boiling before
being used agaiu. The room occu-
pied by pneumonia patients should
be carefully cleaned ZACH day, care
being taken to avoid the stirring OF
dust. Upon completion of the case
the bedroom occupied by the pneu-
monia patient should be thoroughly
cleansed. walls as well as floor. then
aired and summed for several days
before being put to use again
To protect against pneumonia:
Wear sufficient clothing.
Avoid unnecessary contact with
pneumonia patients.
Haye plenty of fresh air in sleep
ing room.
Avoid alcoholic drinks.
Keep in good physical condition
Avoid prolonged exposure to cold

ALLOWED TO "sNAP" WILSON
When He Started Out on His Fifth
Auto Ride Since October.

Washington. d. c., March l7.-Pho-
tographers were permitted to take their
first pictures of President Wilson to-
day since his return from his western
trip last September. The president was
photographed as he left the White
House grounds on his fifth automobile
ride since he went to bed in October,
"a very sick man.
Under instructions from the White
House, the police allowed several mov-
ing picture operators and photograph
ers to set mp their machines at the
southwest gate. and as the president $
automobile came the chauffeur slowed
down. The president laughed at the
cameramen when they hurriedly
changed their positions SO as to get ad-
ditional pictures.
The cameramen had been waiting
MANY weeks for these pictures. Their
first attempt was made soon after the
president was permitted 10 60 on the
south lawn, but it was frustrated by
secret service men, who suspected the
purpose of wagonload of hay which
passed down Executive avenue with
the photographers in it. The picture
makers were on hand when Mr.. Wilson
took his first ride about 10 days ago
and every day since, but until to-day
the police intervened.
The president was accompanied on
his ride to-day by Mrs Wilson and
Rear Admiral Grayson.

FIRE IN SToNESHED.
Too Glowing a Stove Caused 5000 Dam
age at Genest g. Beaulieu's.

An overheated stove in the Office of
Genest & Beaulieus granite plant on
Burnham's meadow owned by S'rear-
son & Lane and known widely as the
Tom Clark shed, started considerable
damage this morning before the flames
were controlled by the fire department,
and no less than 5000 damage was
sustained in about an hours time.
When fire was discovered by Eugene
Bcaulieu, Jumper, working in the
ward, the north end of the building,
occupied by the office. was emitting
much smoke, and flames were pouring
from the window. A telephone call
sent TO the fire department WAS in
stantly answered by the horse drawn
apparatus, which could reach the shed
much quicker under the conditions
than the motor-driven vehicles. I'm
mediately, a line Of three-inch hose
was laid and stream played upon the
fast spreading flames. Partitioned
from the office, where monumental
plans. books and stationery were
stored, was the derrick room and stone
shed. But before much damage could
be done to the electric motor OF the
derrick or the Ife spfedu 10 the sHeh,
the tiremen smothered the flames with
the heavy stream. The quick response
of the department might be said to
have saved inestimabe stoneshed prop
erty, as this shed is surrounded on
almost every side with other buildings
OF like nature, quite susceptible to
flames.
All the monumental plans OF the
firm were destroyed, many of them
having been hanging on the wall near
the stove and several books of value
were also lost, not being placed in the
safe. However, insurance carried by
the Page s Campbell agency covers the
loss to the Genest & Beaulieu firm,
while the building loss is covered in a
blanket insurance under the McAllister
& Kent and Dillon agencies.
