INTELLECT AND FIDELITY OF SHEEP DOGS
What a herd dog has first to learn
Is to know every one of 200 or 300
sheep and to know them both by
sight and smell, says a writer in Har
per's Magazine. This he does thor
oughly. When Watterson was run
ning sheep on the plains he had a
young collie not yet put to the herd,
but kept about the pumping plant.
As the sheep came in by hundreds to
the trouch the dog grew so to know
them that when they had picked up
a stray from another band he discov
ered It from afar off and. darting as
a hornet, nipping and yelping, parted
It out from the band. At that time
no mere man would have pretended,
without the aid of the brand, to recog
nize any of the thousands that bore it.
How long recollection stays by the
dog is not certain, but at least a
twelvemonth, as was proved to FUon
Girard. after he had lost a third of
his band when the Santa Ana came
roaring up by Lone Pine with a cloud
of saffron-colored dust on Its wings.
After shearing of next year, passing
close to another band, Fllon's dogs
set themselves unbidden to routing
out of It, and rounding with their
own. nearly 20 head, which the herd
er, being an honest man, freely admit
ted he had picked up on the mesa
following after Filon the spring be
fore. Quick to know the willful and un
blddable members of a flock the wise
collie is not sparing of bites and, fol
lowing after a stubborn stray, will
open threw It, and stand guard until
help arrives or the sheep shows a
better mind. But the herder who has
a dog trained at the difficult work of
herding range sheep through the
chutes and runways into boats and
cars for tran?portatlon Is the fortun
ate fellow.
There was Pete's dog, Bourdaloue,
that at the Stockton landing, with no
assistance, put 800 wild sheep from
the highlands on the boat In eight
minutes by running along the backs
of the flock until he had picked out
the stubborn or stupid leaders that
caused the sheep to Jam in the run
way, and by sharp bites set them for'
ward, himself treading the backs of
the racing flocks like the premiere
equestrienne of the circus, which all
the men of the shipping cheered to
see.
The way the Instinct for herding
comes out in sheep dogs Is wonderful,
says a New York Sun writer. I once
had a young collie given to me. He
was only six months old and had never
received any training or seen other
dogs managing a band of sheep.
had gone out of sheep at the time and
there was nothing about the ranch
apparently, for him to do. The pup
py moped about for a week or 10
days. Then a happy thought struck
him. There were the hens. From
that day he never failed to herd the
hens regularly. He would be on the
watch for them when' they emerged
from their house on the side of the
gumbo bank after feeding In the morn
ing and would assume charge of them
for the rest of the day. Collecting
them In front of him he would drive
them, a clucking, waddling, protest
Ing band, out about half a mile on the
prairie. While they ran about after
Insects or pecked at the weeds and
grass, he sauntered about on the out
skirts, keeping a vigilant eye on every
Bullet and rooster. And punctually
an hour before sunset he would gather
them up Into a compact little group
and drive them home. This self-ap
pointed task he performed with the
greatest system of thoroughness, dis
playing all the highest gifts of the
sheep dog fidelity, Judgment, tact
conscience. He was a most engaging
little rascal and I grieved for him as
if he had been a human when, after

a few months, he ate a wolf poison
and died.
The following Incident, which oc
curred at Great Falls, Mont., last
spring, is given In the Pioneer Press,
Minnesota:
"The victims of the recent blizzard
that swept over the northern portion
of that state, killing thousands of
lambs and a number of cattle, are
now being found with the passing of
the snow. In nearly every case the
victims were sheepherders who were
caught In the storm and frozen to
death before they could reach shel
ter.
"One of the most pathetic cases :
that has come to light If that of Wil
liam Plumber, an aged man, whose
sole friend, so far as known, was a
handsome shepherd dog which he had
raised from a puppy. This dog could
do almost everything except talk. ,
When Shep, as he was called, dragged
himself Into the little sheep town of,
Shelby, with two of his legs frozen,
the fate of Plumber was known. It 1
was useless to prosecute a search for
him without the aid of the dog, and
the animal was, apparently, too
disabled to make another move, it
was proposed to wait several days be
fore searching for the body of me
missing man.
Shep, in spite of his condition.
was ready to lead the party, however,
and although the progress was slow :
and painful over the snow-covered
hills and valleys, the faithful dog led
the party to the body of his master, i
Crouching beside the frozen corpse, .
the dog worn almost to a shadow by
the hardships he had undergone, ut- I
tered a long penetrating wall, and
then, licking the cold face of his
master, expired. Plumber and the
dog were buried in the same grave."
NEW TROLLEY LINE
DAYTON" AXD WALLULA
TO BE CONNECTED.
I
Large Portion of Itlght of Way Is
Now Secured and Project Will He
Rushed to Completion Northwest
Will Be Covered by Electric Lines
In tlio Near Future,-
The wonderful growth of electric
lines In the Inland empire Is shown
by the following from the Walla
Walla Statesman, concerning the Day-ton-Wallula
line which Is now being
built.
The construction of new electric
lines through all parts of the coun
try promises to be greatly stimulated
as Irrigation development proceeds,
and It is predicted by men close to the
electric companies that every settle
ment In the northwest will have car
lines within the next few years. The
Statesman says of the Dayton-Wallula
line:
J. H. Morrow has begun to close
out his business In Waltsburg and will
probably devote his whole time to the
boosting and management of the trol
ley line from Dayton to Wallula.
Prospects for the line are very
bright. Already one-fourth of the
entire right of way hus been Becured
and Dayton and Waltsburg have un
dertaken' to secure the entire right of
way for parts of the line, and also to
furnish terminals.
Walla Walla, which Mr. Morrow
believes, will benefit more by the pro
posed line than all the rest of the
tributary country put together, will
be asked later to do her part.
Mr. Morrow Is qnthuslastlc over the
trolley line proposition, which he be
lieves will be a success. Ho believes
thut It will do more for this section
In connection with a line of boats on
the river than any other scheme ever
undertaken by tho people of Walla
Walla.
He also thinks that the line should
be owned by local capital Instead of
outside capital and declares that the
incorporators will give the people of
this section a chance to buy a con
trolling Interest lri tho stock If they
wish. If they don't wish, however,
foreign capital will be easily secured
to finance the proposition.

TURKEY HER IS G001 WHEAT.
Produces as Much as Bluestem and
Prices Are Just as High.
Maxwell brothers, farming on an
extensive scale in the Touchet country
will seed about 1000 ncres this year,
says the Walla Walla Statesman. W.
W. Maxwell, a member of the firm,
in Walla Walla yesterday stated that
450 acres will be seeded to turkey
red wheat this fall and the remainder
will be seeded to bluestem In the early
spring.
Mr. Maxwell said he has found that
turkey red Is not so susceptible to
frosts and yields equally well ns blue
stem. The market price is even bet
ter than either bluestem or club. The
firm has Just finished seeding 350
acres and will start at once seeding
the remaining 100 acres.
