LIVESTOCK I GOOD CONDITION THRU WYOMING Both Cattle and Sheep Prepared to Weather Winter Storms. Wyoming cattle and sheep are go- ing into the winter in excellent con- dition,with an antple supply of feed according to the monthly livestock report of the United States Division of Crop and Livestock Estimates, Ranges. Fall rains improved the range out- look softening the grass where there was danger of it breaking off. A few places report that the rains started to much green grass. The desert sheep tanges in southern Wy- oming are fair to good following a iry summer, In the Big Horn Basin nd northern Wyoming, winter ranges are the best in years. The condition of the ranges is 91 per cent compared with 87 per cent last month and 100 per cent one year ago. The hay crop in the southern part of the state is a little short but there was a large carry over from 1923 so very few sections will be short unless the winter is severe. ‘The northern sections have a large crop with some surplus, Cattle are generally in very good condition. Most of the cattle went to market in harder and better flesh than last year. Shipments have been heavy with the bulk of the cattle gone to market. Prices in some cases were lower than last season, with the average returns about the same as last year. ‘There has been ttle local trading. Prices generally range as follows: ws with calves, $35.00-$45.00, cows 0-$35.00, cal .00-$20.00, ‘earling steers, $: 0.004 $40.00. The condition of cattle is 99 per cent, a gain of one point over last month, Sheep. There has been an active demand for yearling and young ewes this fall the demand generally exceed- ing the supply. There has been a strong demand for old ewes and a tendency to buy.small flocks. Re- ports from over the state indicate more ewe lambs are being held than last year. Sheep have come from summer ranges in fine shape. Lambs in northern’ Wyoming are heavier than last fall, while some of the southern lambs are lighter. The condition of sheep is 102 per cent compared with 100 per cent last month and 102 one ear ago. There was a marked activity in the wool business, with heavy con- tracting of the 1925 clip at prices ranging from 40 to 42% cents - —- Earthquake In Africa Deals Out Disaster ALG 8—(United Press).

Sawyer Deadlocks In Congress May Be Dealt Blow WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.—{Unitea Press.)—A constitutional amendment to prevent deadlocks in congress in election of a “president is to be adopted in the short December ses- sion. Proposals now are being worked out by individual senators and rep- resentatives and will be introduced immediately” after the house and senate convene. Ali quarters realize the necessity for the action and it is said the most feasible plan will be adopted with celerity and placed before state legislators next March. The ultimatum demands such an amendment arise of the difficulties which would have been presented had the recent presidential election been thrown into congress through failure of any of the candidates to poll a majority of the electoral college. WEEK IN ELECTING REPUBLICAN LEGISLATORS Only Once in 34 Years Has an Upset Occurred in State Politics That Gave Democratsa Majority © CHEYENNE, Wyo., Nov. Tuesday elected a majority legislature, they ran true to the form to which they have adhered, with only one derivation, during the 34 years of the state’s history. In 1892, when there was a local issue transcending all other issues and when there was the element, as there was this year, of a third party in the ficld, the Re- publicans did not secure a majority of the legislative seats. Neither did the Democrats have a majority of the legislative members; the third party, the Populists, holding the balance-of-power with a handful of members. A Democratic-Populist coalition failed by one vote, that of a Democrat, of electing a Demo- cratic. United States senator; the co- alition was successful only in that it prevented the election of a Repub- lican United States senator. That is why the service of Francis E. War- Four School By REX LAMPMAN. (Copyright, 1924, Consolidated Press Association.) LOS ANGELES, Noy. 8.—Four Americans who voluntarily im- prisoned themselves within the quar- antine, barrier which has been thrown about the plague.swept Little Sonora, the Mexican quarter of Los Angeles, ate bringing order and re- lief to its panicky inmates. The quartet are Miss Nora Sterry, princtgal of the Macy Street school, || which is the center of the district; the Rev. James G. Doty, pastor of the Baptist mission in Little Sonora; Mrs. Doty and Miss Clara Neilson, a mission worker. With the campaign of relief and sanitation well under way, the health authorities believe that a strangle hold has been got on the dread pneumonic plague, which al- ready has caused 25 deaths and pre- dict that the disease will be rapidly stamped out. The Red Cross flag today flies over Miss Sterry’s school, where she hoisted it beneath the Stars and Stripes as soon as she had been able to talk her ~way into the quar- antine zone to take charge of the relief work. And 650 Mexican chil- dren, who before had regarded Miss Sterry as a sort of extra mother are sure—now that they see her in her Red Cross uniform—that she means all that is Sood and helpful in the world, Miss Sterry’s ample figure. ‘her graying hair and her smiling eyes well become the Red Cross garb, and her kindly voice, constant thoughtfulness and gentle exercise of authority fit her for the work she will do at whatever risk to herself. “I spent almost an entire day try- ing to persuade the authorities to let me take over the work,” Miss Sterry said, when she found time from her many tasks to come to the quarantine rope for an interview. “We were so much better equipped here at the school than the health office was. We have complete in- format'on On file of every family in the district and know just what they need. And I had been exposed—so that did fot matter. School had been held up to Friday night, al- though the plague had made its ap- pearance three weeks before. So finally they let me come in and do the work that should be done.” Miss Sterry’s staff of three Ameri- n helpers felt much the same way about it that she did. The Rev. Mr. Doty and his wife moved into the mission house, although their home is outside the district, so that they could be quarantined and help with the relief work. Miss Neilson, who was out of the district when the quarantine was established, talked her way into her post of duty. Her argument that she, like Miss Sterry, already had been exposed, finally won. for her. But Miss Sterry insists that her staff is not Hmited to those three. “All the people in the district are helping,” she said. ‘“They are used to coming to the school and doing things as a community duty down here in Sonora town. ‘We are housing in the school house the persons who live outside, but were caught within the district when the quarantine wa# put into ar: effect Cots and bedding have been sent in by the Red Cross.

The men up there on the steps are waiting to | get in now. They must be pretty hungry. ” ‘ze men in the line saw her gesture toward them and cheered. Miss Sterry thought it was be- cause they were eager for food, but the policeman who stood by was sure the ‘cheers were for Miss Sterry. “We are getting a little volunteer help that we did not expect, and that did not expect to volunteer,” Miss Sterry said, with a twinkle. “Ono young man came down out of curiosity and managed to get inside th> quarantine line. Now he’s one of us. A bill collector came.on busi- ness which he felt must be attended to, despite the epidemic. The police let him in when he insisted, but the Police wouldn't let him out. He is assigned now to the dishwashing squad.” ‘DREAD TRUST MERGER NEAR IN NEW YORK Federal Investigation Brought to Close at Same Time. WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.—(United Press.)}—While reports from New York told of an impending $600,000,- 000 merger of baking companies, the_ Federal Trade commission today was nearing completion of its inves- tigation into charges that a gigantic “bread tryst” is being formed in the United States. The charges were made in the sénate last spring by progressives who declared the Amer- ican people were being muilticed of $500,000,000 annually in exhorbitant bread prtces and stood to lose more if the “trust” was brought into ex- istence. The commission's report will be submitted to congress, probably early in the December session. If the “trust” charges are substant- lated, the evidence will be turned ever to the department of justice for prosecution of offending parties. ——— YEGGS DRAW BLANK, CLAIM CHICAGO, Nov. 8.—Cracksmen, who industriously hammered open twenty sufety deposit boxes in the Empire afety Warehouse here early today, « thing for thelr trouble, investigators reported to night, All the boxes broken open were empty, police declared, after a thorough investigation. 8.—When Wyomingites last of Republicans to the state ren, just re-elected has not been con- tinuous in the United Statés senate throughout the period of Wyoming's statehood.
