. AUTOMOBILE FOR HORSES.
The automobile haa surely been
placed' to no more Ironical purpose
than that which we herewith illus.
trate. ; A French manufacturer has de
vlned a conveyance which Is actually
Intended for the transportation of the
. very animals which the automobile 1b
intended, to supplant. Seriously con
sidered, the vehicle has certainly much
to commend it. As the reader no oubt
suspects,, it 1 primarily designed for
the conveyance of valuable racing
horses, that cannot be Intrusted to a
railway without some anxiety. An ac
cident might mean a heavy financial
loss to the owner of the horse.' In an
automobile such as that illuBtrated in
the Scientific American, a thorough
bred can be transported with consider
able safety, and besides, with far more
convenience and comfort. The in
terior of the vehicle is fitted up as a
stable with all the requisites to which
the pampered horse Is accustomed.

the city late last night from Rock
5
miles of mountainous electric power
conveying lines haa been set. With
every pole In its place, there remains
but the stringing of wires to perfect
the project whereby La Grande and
the Grande Ronde valley will secure
sufficient electric lights, even though
Morgan lake dries up for keeps. This
big undertaking was found necessary
to prevent a recurrence of last win
ter's mess when lights and power were
an unknown quantity here for several
weeks. ; ' ': -
It will require approximately 10 days
to string the wires from Union to the
Rock creek power project' The, 30
miles of poles takes the workers
through extremely rough patches of
country, but one thing that has aided
the crew has been the favorable wea
ther. With one or two exceptions, cli
matic conditions were always condu

by the defense and learn .what the
probable chances for freedom are.
