TO SAVE GRASS.
Horses Are Killed by the North
west Ranchmen.
No Sale for the Animal, and Their
Fleah In Fed to the Harr-A Per
plexing Problem
to Sol-re.
The interesting news comes from the
city of Butte, Mont. that in several
parts of that state horses are so nu
merous and there is so little use for
them that they are being killed by
ranchmen and their flesh fed to
hogs as food instead of corn. In Mad
ison county several horse meat canning
establishments are now in operation,
and the product is said to be shipped
east and then' to Europe. N Horses can
be bought for three dollars a head or
even less when purchased in large num
bers. These facts suggest the inquiry as to
what is to become of the horse. "With
the introduction of electricity on street
car lines, where, until a few years ago,
horses were practically the sole motive
power, and with the ever-increasing use
of the bicycle, there seems to be less
use for the horse than ever. This use
of electricity and bicycles makes it
probable tftat horses will be bred in
very small numbers hereafter.
In the states of Montana, North Da
kota, Idaho, Washington and Wyoming
hundreds of thousands of dollars have
been invested in cattle, sheep and
horses. Large herds were formerly
lrien from Texas and the southwest
to fatten on the nutritious grasses to
be found in the states named, but the
constant increase in the number of cat
tle, especially those of the half-breed
variety, has also caused a reduction in
their value.
The establishment of canning fac
tories in Madison county, Mont., where
horse meat is put up is not the first ex
periment of the kind in the northwest.
In 1895 it was made in Portland, Ore.,
where horse meat was canned and
shipped to France.. It was found, how
ever, ihat the enterprise did not pay,
the demand being insufficient, while
packers of beef refused to add horse
meat to their line of trade because of
the prejudice which would arise.
Reports from Madison county state
also that horses in some instances are
driven into corrals on the ranches,
killed and the bodies dragged out into
the fields, where the hogs can devour
them. It seems almost incredible that
this should be the ease, but it has come
to be a matter of self-preservation with
the owners of large grazing districts,
where there was danger that the horses
would eat up all the grass, thereby
leaving no fodder whatever for beef
cattle. The few horse canning estab
lishments in that part of the state can
not, of course, use up all the horses
that are offered to them; hence it be
comes necessary to kill the animals and
dispose of them in the manner stated.
It is not only the half-breed horses
that are found to be a drug on the mar
ket, but such fine stock as Clydesdales
and coach horses are being offered by
ranchmen there for very small figures.
One ranchman in Madison county is
said to have a herd of 1,700 horses of
Clydesdale and Xornan stock which
he is willing to dispose of for $15 a
head. He is unwilling to sacrifice his
stock for canning purposes, although
the herd is eating the grass required
for the grazing cattle and sheep.
The cattle herds in the northwest
are numbered by thousands, the prices
for which are ridiculously small. The
feed on the ranges is not increasing,
while the cattle are, thus making the
problem of finding feed more difficult.
These immense herds roam the prai
ries of North Dakota, Washington, Mon
tana and Idaho. K
The Moutana advices referred to state
that those persons who have established
the horse canning factories believe that
their project will be successful. There
Kcems to be little likelihood, however,
that much, if any, horse meat will be
sold in the I'nited States X. Y. Her

" For more than twenty years
we have been telling: how
Scotfs Emulsion overcomes the
excessive waste of the system,
puts on flesh, nourishes and
builds up the body, making it
the remedy for all wasting di
seases of adults and children,
but it isn't possible for us to
tell the story in a mere stick
ful of newspaper type.
We have had prepared for
us by a physician a little book,
telling in easy words how and
why Scott's Emulsion benefits,
and a postal card request will
be enough to have it sent to
you free. To-day would be a
good time to send for it.

William Dial and family, who have
been visiting at the home of Dial's sis
ter in Dayton, Or., came home with en
thusiastic impressions of the Willam
ette valley, says the East Oregonian.
Mr. Dial brought back a specimen of
Klondike grub in the shape of a cigar
box half full of dried potatoes. These
resemble a job lot of deceased worms
more than anything else, but are a con
venient food for prospectors, neverthe
less. All tbey need is boiling, when
they swell up quicker than a newly
made congressman, and mashed pota
toes cling lovingly to the beard of a
Klondike miner when he finishes bis
humble meal. Other vegetables be
sides spuds are dried at Dayton, where
three dryers are in constant operation,
day and night. Onions, cabbage and
carrots, as well as all kinds of fruit, are
handled. A bushel of potatoes makes
seven pounds of dried food, which re
tails at 18 to 25 cents per pound. It
takes twelve hours to complete the
process, and eight cents a ponnd is
charged for drying them. Onions dry
oat from one and one-half to two pounds
to the bushel, and bring $1.50 to $2 to
the pound. The industry ia a new one,
and bids fair to develop into large pro
portions. To Batter Kskers. '

Two Perished of Thirst.
Hackbekey, Ariz., Sept. 2. During
the latter part of last week four men
who had been working at White hills,
fifty miles north of here, left camp and
started toward Nevada. They had been
on a protracted spree, and when they
left camp it waa night, and they took no
water. Yesterday they were found ten
miles from the river, two of them dead.
The others were nearly dead, but may
recover. Jara Maguire, a blacksmith,
and an unknown man are dead.
Their tongues are swollen and cracked
and showed the marks of indescribable
suffering. James Rogers and P. Golds-
worthy were found nearly ' dead, but
were carried to a settlement, where they
may recover
No mystery about it. When the
Shakers offered some time ago to give
away a bottle of their Digestive Cordial
to any one who might call at- their New
York office, there was a great rush and
a great many people thought they were
crazy.
Subsequent events proved to have
been a very clever advertising transac
tion, for although they gave away
thousands of bottles, it was in the end
profitable ; nearly every one that took
free bottle came back for more and paid
for it with pleasure, saying they had de
rived better resulta from its nse than
from any other medicine they had ever
used.
There is nothing so uniformly success'
ful in the treatment of stomach troubles
aa the Shaker Digestive Cordial, and
what ia better than all, it relievea at
once.

Hazei.ton, Pa., Sept. 2. Mob law

They stopped every colliery in that dis
trict, then attacked Superintendent
Jones' house at Yorktown and smashed

The strikers are expected back in this
city this afternoon and will march to
Milnesville. Indications now are that
the sheriff will be here this afternoon
and hostilities will begin.
