Abnse of Dumb Animals.
A complaint comes today that a cow
herder, presumably the same that so
cruelly abused the little calf a few days
ago, ran a white cow through the streets
for an hour, lashing and goading it at
every jump, until the animal was so ex
hausted it stumbled and fell from sheer
exhaustion. It is the duty of every per
son who observes such cruelty to make a
proper complaint before the prosecuting
attorney or some officer and have a Btop
put to such inhuman conduct. The
community will applaud and the human
brute will be shown up in his true colors.
The spectacle of a full-grown man eras
ing and beating an unoffending dumb
animal is not a fitting sight for ladies
and children, who shudder at such
brutality. It is shameful; it is bar
baric ; and the community is scarcely
less so that that will permit continual
repetitions of the same brutal offense.
A Big Savins;.
As secretary of the Northwest Fruit
Growers Association, Mr. S. A. Clark
figures there will be a great saving in
fruit shipments the present year, as com
pared with 1893. The Union Pacific
Ry. Co. will furnish refrigerator cars
and ice them free, which will save the
producer :

People have learned a good deal as to
handling and packing fruit, and with
Mr. Shanno's aid will, not require so
much instruction. It is safe to say the
expenses will be $200, and in some lines
of fruit will be more, perhaps $240.
Standard Fruit Boxes.
At the meeting of the executive com
mittee of the Northwest Fruit Growers
Association at Walla Walla last week,
the uniformity of fruit boxes was one of
the subjects of discussion, and it was
decided that all boxes should be of the
uniform length of twenty inches with
the exception of grape, apricot, plum
and prune' boxes. These will be five
pound boxes, four of which will fill a
crate tour and three-fonrths inches deep
and sixteen inches square.
Following are the dimensions of other
fruit boxes :
Apple box Ends 11x12 in., stuff;
sides, tops and bottoms, U wide by
19 long, 5-10 in., stuff.
Pear box Ends 8xl2, in. stuff;

IMMENSE LOCK GATES.
Being: Constructed In Baltimore for the
Cascade Canal.
There are now in course of' construc
tion at the marine department of the
Maryland Steel Company, at Sparrow's
Point, Md., eight gates to be used on
the locks at the Cascades. F. E. Les
ourd is the inspector for the government
in charge of the work and H. B. Robin
son is superintending the work for the
marine department. The smallest gate
will be ready for shipment in two
months. These immense gates are thus
described by the Baltimore American :
"They are ponderous Bteel affairs
from 37 to 55 feet high and 45 feet broad,
half the width of the canal. Each leaf
or half-gate will weigh 300,000 pounds
and will be shipped west in five sections
and put together near the river. Super
vising Inspector Lieutenant Edward
Burr, United States navy, of Norfolk,
who is the main designer, has the con
struction in charge. Between the two
locks made" by the gates there is a 28
foot lift. The gates are to be built of
the finest quality of steel and, are the
lightest ever built for their immense
size. The steel is known as medium
Bteel, with a tensile strength of 75,000
pounds, possessing all the qualities of
mild steel. They will be the largest
gates in existence, save those now build
ing at Detroit for Sault Ste. Marie Ca
nal. The steel was all made by the
Pennsylvania Steel Company, at Steel
ton, Pa. The culvert valves emptying
and filling the locks are also being built.
They will be 10 feet square. The gates
and valves will be operated by hydrau
lic gearing of the latest design." Ore

. . OBITUARY. -IN
MEMORY OF LUCY ST A ATS. .
She left us all so swiftly
For that blest, too' unknown land,
'Tis there she'll wait our coming;
On the distant, golden strand.
She has wandered Into that city -
Of beautiful calm and peace,
A peaceful, toothing region.
Where woes of heart all cease.
'Tis well, but oh, what anguish
To bow in holy trust,
When silent forms, once full of life,
Are laid beneath the dust.
When one so young; and hopeful
Is coldly borne away, (
We feel more keen the sorrow - .
That tears cannot allay.,
Flowers ne'er were fadeless.
The fairest pass away ;
Visions to us raost precious,
Soonest leave the light of day.
'Ti sweet to know she's resting.
Where haips of angels riug, '
Beyond the orient weadows,
W here the blest forever sing.
We're glad to know that never
Will sorrow enter there.
No more can pain e'er reach her '
In that country, oh, so fair!
Farewell, oh loving sister;
Farewell, dear, faithful friend.
Fondest hearts are breaking.
And no one balm can lend.
We mourn your sad departure,
Your presence we so miss.
But to earth you've bade adieu for aye, .
And reached a land of bliss.
Gone, goue, our darling Lucy, -
Your voice forever's stilled.
From this sad day we'll ever know.
What a place you've always filled.
A Friend.
