The dry weather OF the past few
weeks has made the outlook for crops
and hay anything but bright. Hay
is scarce and what there is stands
very thin on the ground. On land not
irrigated grain is almost a failure, and
is being cut for hay. Where water is
abundant for irrigating and good
bitches in use, crops are looking well,
but these conditions are rare owing
to the fact that streams that rarely
ever fail are now devoid of water
owing to two seasons OF excessive
drouth. While there were frequent
showers during the spring the fall OF
water was not great enough to satisfy
the parched and long-suffering soil,
or restore the streams to their usual
fulness. just now our industries are
menaced as they never have been
before, and it will be necessary to
"rustle" the harder to protect them.
II carried safely through the coming
winter we believe another year will
find them securely anchored. Drouth
and low prices cannot last forever.
Another year, and perhaps before, We
shall see cattle bringing better prices.
Beef consumption is on the increase
while the range cattle industry is on
the decline. Most woolgrowers are
insured with large stacks OF hay yet
it would be well to get more il possible.
While there has been no active market
for wool this year, the price OF mutton
and stock sheep. and the fact that
nearly every pound was shipped rather
than take fair figure, speaks well for
the business.

PREMATURELY KILLED.
Innpounded Dogs Said to Suffer the Dealt
Penalty too Soon.

Inpounded Dogs Said to Suffer the Death
Penalty too Soon.
Fred Lindner and wife yesterday COM
planned to the City Trustees that Pound
master O'Neill had killed a valuable hunt
ing dog belonging to them inside OF twenty
four hours after impounding the animal.
The Trustees Immediately sent police
man after the Poundmsster, in order to
give him an opportunity to explain his ac-
tons, but he did not show up, and spe-
cial meeting of the Board will be held this
forenoon to inquire into the charge against
him.
Mr. and Mrs. Lindner allege that the dog
was taken about o'clock last Friday after
noon; that, owing to the manner of its
capture, the Poundmaster was informed
that it was valuable animal, and
cautioned against disposing of it within the
time allowed for redemption; that about 8
o'clock the next morning their son was
sent to the Pound to redeem the dog, and
that he was referred 10 its dead carcass and
told to take it If he wanted to.
The ordinance allows forty-eight hours
IN which to redeem impounded dogs, and
if Poundmaster O'Neill has been violating
the law, the Trustees can do no less than
dismiss him from Office. 1t is not unlikely
that the owners of the dog will cause his
arrest and prosecution, and perhaps also
sue him or his bondsmen for damages.
The Poundmaster's side of the story has
not yet been heard.
