among cattle ofall kinds has broken
out, and the farmers have lost thou
sands of dollars worth of fine stock.
A dog owned by a man named
Huffman went mad, and before he
was killed attacked a number of
other dogs, cattle, sheep, swine and
poultry on several farms. These
animals nearly all went mad and
have since died. The dog went to
thief arm of a Mr.. Wright and attack
ed a valuable stallion, which has
since died. 1t ran into the open
door of a school-house and created
an uproar in the school, swapping
at and biting several of the chill.
dren. One little girl is seriously
hurt. There is scarcely a farm in
the upper part of the county upon
which some animal has not been
bitten. The dog, when it reached
home, attacked its master, who fell
ed it to the ground and chained it
till it died. More than fifty hogs
have been killeC, and numbers are
yet about the country. In Ravens
wood: in the same country, the
mayor has ordered every dog muz-
zled, and much excitement exists.
Death among the cattle are increas-

hydrophobia are lying in the fields,

meat from that section"

Tucson Star: Hon. Tbos. Smith,

before there wac a single house
built, was in all the cities of the
Pacific Coast before such thing
as street car was dreamed of, and
when he saw the one in Phoenix he
stopped her and said: Here is
some coin; give me that much in
riding on this car. l have been
ahead of this street car business for
about thirty years, and now that
they have caught up with me and

and he rode up and down the track

they are just the plan for boom

cultural and fruit growing section
of the Pacific coast. Mr.. Robson,

in that portion of our valley are

j Northwestern Journal: Agitating
the minds of many cattle owners is
the question, "Will we unite upon
any plan to pool our product and
secure its real value?" Echo an
swers, "Will you?" Long-winded
resolutions will accomplish nothing
1t is work that counts. Working
together you can do what other pro-
ducers in other lines have done
form a combination strong enough
to in a measure regulate prices.
Northwestern Journal: It is a
difficult matter to say what the fu-
ture market values of beeves are to
be. They have been unsatisfactory
for some time past, but there is
manifest a tendency to improve
nnent. Occasional sales at good
figures show that the movement is
slightly upward. And some sales
have been entirely satisfactory to
the seller, as notably the bunch of
steers sold by the Soda Springs
Land and Cattle Company, of Ida
no, at $53 per head. The outlook
for the future appears to be encour-
aging at least.
Chicago Drovers' Journal :"Why
is it," said a man, that ordinary
kinds of sheep are selling at SIS and
just as good cattle are selling at 81
and less" That is hard question
to answer, but nevertheless history
shows that the price of one kind of
meat has no effect upon another.
However, a glance will show that
for the first three months of the
year Chicago's receipts, compared
with 1887, show an increase of 63,-
375 cattle and a decrease of 22,663
sheep.
Texas Live Stock Journal: The
O'Connor Bros, of Refugio county,
sold out the entire beef herd of four
year-olds and upward, which they |
were rounding up to ship. D. R.
FAINT and George W. West were the
purchasers, the number being about
5000 head, and the price is yet
kept secret, but is reported to ag-
gregate over 100000, which atleast
would be $17 per head.
Northwestern Journal The great
influx of people to Seattle and the
Puget Sound country that is now
taking place, and that is likely to
continue for the summer, will make
a heavy drain on Oregon and Idaho
for beef. This is fortunate for our
cattle owners east of the Rockies,
in that it viii keep most, if not all,
beef from west of the range out of
the Chicago market. That section
has never been heavy shipper TO
the eastward, probably less than
twenty thousand head being the
greatest amount being sent out dur
ing any one year. But small favors
are now gratefully received, and for
the western outlet we are truly
grateful. |

The so-called s'bOard Of supervising inspectors
of steam yesseIs- ought 20 have its name changed.
IL should be styled "the advisory board In behalf
or the interests OF steamer companies" Some days
ago Mr. 2. A. Richardson made forciole and
quite conclusive statement before the board
In regard TO the utter inadequacy OF hfe-
boat accommodations on steam passenger
vessels. based on facts within his own
knowledge. He urged that the board should give
the subject earnest consideration, with view 10 a
remedy OF the evil In the discussion that followed
the startling concession was made by members
that boats on ocean steamers rated at seventy and
eighty passengers not capable OF carrying more
than forty. Mr. Richardson recalled previous con-
yersatlOn with Gen. DumOnt, supervising inspector
general Of the board, in which the General said
SC was conceded that not one OF the great steamers
which bear precious FIRE ght between the shores OF
Europe and America carried anything like enough
beats and RATS for accommodating It's passengers
and crew in case necessity compelled abandon
ment Of the ship. This testimony before the
board can be cOrrooorated by every intelligent
traveller by the great ocean steamers who notes at
once the utter inadequacy OF the triing supply OF
boats TO accommodate the vast number OF passen-
gers-frequently one thousand or more per steamer
IN the busy season-in case OF disaster.
Yet the board In their report before adjourning
yesterday while admitting the inadequacy of
boats on the great ocean steamers, have nothing
10 offer by way OF remedy, and on the other hand
they take the astounding position In behalf OF the
steamer companies that regulation limiting
the number OF passengers TO the capacity
OF the boats they can carry would work a seri-
Gus restriction upon commercel This is OF O
piece with the other allegation by the board In be-
half OF the companies that the use Of water-tight
bulk-heads In modern iron and steel steamships
makes them at least 30 per cent safer than the
ships OF twenty years ago. As matter OF fact
the so much vaunfed bulk heads have proved any
thing but water tight emergency, and are
altogether quite little to be relied upon as the
boats, in case OF disaster.
