As to Cows.

The necessities of the times, rs shown
by practical experience, have Jed to the
formulating of rules in the interest of
belated pedestrians. We give below the
very latest regulations:
BE it enacted that the following Rules
of the Road be observed by cows naviga-
ting the streets within and about Port
Townsend:
|. All cows navigating within and
about Port Townsend shall carry side
lights at night, the same lis sea going
vessels
II. Every COW under way shall be cor
sidered rs n steamship under way, (this
rule delegates no authority to pedestri-
ans to obtain any damages in case OF Il
collision.)
Ill All COWS at anchor will hoist Il
white light-no restrictions in regards
10 which end said light may be hoisted.
" All cows shall, during foggy
weather, give one blast ON the starboard
horn when close hauled on the starboard
tack, and two blasts on the port horn
when close hauled on the port tack. Any
COW ''going free" Will give three blasts
with any horn she chooses. This rule
does not apply to COWS having no horns.
Y. Cows having on horns will, during
foggy weather, carry bell attached to a
strap around the neck. This bell will be
ruug at every move they make, and be
comes continuous and monotonous about
II 4. N. when i'll frcnt OF your window.
However, this plan works well as it pre-
vents pedestrians from colliding with
the COW, and also saves the COW the trou-
bic of moving, and, is on this account,
recommended Tor adoption.
VI One COW towing another will
hoist two white lights in addition to the
lights presented by rule 1. These lights
will be carried one on each horn. In
case the towing COW has no horus-a
white light will be hoisted at each end.
The Rules to take effect Immediately
