Oregon haa contributed ber share. It Is estimated that since last Fall more than E000 horses have been shipped from Eastern Ore gon and the Willamette Valley by Middle West buyers for ulti mate shipment to France and England. Early in the Fall the buyers were picking up cavalry stock almost exclusively. Now the demand is for heavy, chunky horses suitable for artillery service. Ing headquarters of one buyer, who works "at large." setting up his mar ket wherever the animals he seeks chance to be collected. The price paid for the "gunners" averages J200. Twice aa many of them animals are viciously danegrous, lock them over. There are many occasions when, aa though possessing an uncanny fore sight of the fate which awaits him, the animal balks at the foot of the run way. If so, a running noose, which can be pulled to excruciating tightness at the first sign of balkincos, is hur riedly adjusted about his loins, and with five or six negro stevedores haul ing on his halter rope, and a like num ber trailing along behind, he goes pro testingly up and disappears into the hold, for brave. Indeed, is the horse which can withstand the tightening of the loin lariat In this way the British have 1 ready sent more than 40,000 horses from New port News, the other 60.000 having been divided between the French and the Belgians, who shipped their first boat load a few weeks ago. Although many ports are quite as active In the horse trade as Newport News, the most re cent horse census shows that plenty of cavalry mounts end gunners still re main, and no shortage threatens. When the call first came for the ship ment of thousands of American horses to the embattled armies abroad, linera which could be transformed into horse ships were In great demand. Freight ers, immigrant ships, tramp steamers and the like found easy charter, and. with stalls bui'.t upon them wherever the port, which cover nearly eight acres and shed S500 animals, he oomea "own mo long runway I rum me dox . - - car.
