A New Departure.

The Colorado papers are reporting
Jesse Harris in q new role. They
intimate that he will shortly ship a
car load or two of Colorado raised
horses to England, for sale on that
market. This venture requires nerve,
but of this friend Harris has an am
pie supply. And right here the Jour-
nal rises to remark that if the animals
have reasonably good trip across
the pond, and arrive in "good ORDER"
they will sell to advantage and make
some money for the shipper. There
are thousands of grade horses in the
west that can be bought cheap, that
are better than the average English
horse, for which the price ranges be-
. tween $3.50 and 5000, ON that side.
Success to the new departure. -Chey-

Here is the manner in which an ex-
change relates it: A man was out
hunting the other day, and while he
was thus en- gagged, there came up q
big rain and he sought shelter in a
hollow log; the log became soaked in
water and swelled until the opening
was too small for the man to get out.
There he was in a dilemma. He
quickly reviewed his past life, and
when he came to remember that he
was not even subscriber to his home
paper, he felt 80 small that he, crawled
out again without any trouble what
ever.

County Official Paper
The Outlook.

The unprecedented storm Of the
past fewweeks makes the outlook for
stock gloomy indeed, as stockmen say
that no stock of any kind, cattle,
horses nor sheep, which are not fed,
can possibly survive. The deep snow
and severe cold weather; added to the
scarcity of feed consequent on the
drought of last Summer, is death
blow to range stock, and there seems
to be no hope for them. William
Mitchell, one of the most extensive
sheepraisers in the county, says that
he does not expect to have a single
sheep left of the vast fiocks which he
has on the range.
While the heavy snowfall insures
AL abundance Of water for the coming
season and consequent good crops
of all kinds, together with bountiful
supply of feed upon the range, the
stock interests of the county are
destined to receive a. heavy blow in
the losses which will necessarily be
sustained by reason Of the unprece-
dBnted severity of the Winter. The
heavy stockmen are the ones who will
smffer most as those who have but
few are generally prepared to feed,
and will thus be enabled to get them
through.
