They Lost Is TO ~ Per Cent Of th~is
BAuds. but will Nevertheless RecUuu
their LOsAcs.
8. NJ. Friedman, the sheep man,
came in yesterday from the range,
/, attend ", $ me business IN the
Second District Court, and to look
about for y dwell "a. 80 for lis
family, which is expected from Eu'
rope in = few weeks.
Mr. Friedman has just got through
shraring his sheep. The clip will ill
three cars, and tho wool is much bet
ter and cleaner than last years.
1t is also worth \ few cents more
per pound, aud mutton Is worth more.
Hence, although his loss was quite
heavy last winter Mr.. Friedman ssys
that the returns are quite rs good AS
heretofore, i not better.
Nj. Friedman considers himself
fortunate. in escaping heavier loss
last winter. Out OF about JUOUU,
head ha lost about one fourth, and
these we,e mostly lambs. Other
sheep men were lot 90 fortunate.
For instance Mr.. Nc Mahon los, about
one.third; Mr.. Curtis the same. Al
,hey onl y had abou, 1900 they felt
their loss much more than it they had
hal larger bands aud the proportion
Vi loss been the same. Mr. Hayes
had G,4UU, aud lost about 27UU;
Mr.. Lane had 4iOO, lost 22UU; MIR.
Hardy had 300 anu lost 100.
Tho she~pmen will al, however,
do better with what they have ira"
they could have done wit, the same
numbers last year; aud If they can
hold On for tie rise which is sure t.
come rs soon as the depletion OF
the bands slail DO fully known, they
will recupera,e their losses.

ming, Garrett, and other gardens
which depend on the main ditch for
. supply, none flowing into First,
Second, Third, or Fourth Avenues.
About halfway between Fourth and
Fifth Avenues, there was a gate in
the main ditch which diverted the
flow in southwe.terly direction about
two blocks to the pubic school
ground. This stream was about equal
to 20 miners inches OF water when it
left the Rst-; but, owing to the gra.
veIIy soil through which it flowed,
not more than one third Of it reached
the school block. There it was divi-
ded, about one-hslf flowing along the
north line Of the block, and the re-
ma;nder along the east and south sides
of the block. When the west line
is reached the water is allowed TO go
to waste.
This is one OF the causes OF the ali.
sence Of water in tho Main and other
street bitches OF HALEY.
} Another, and tho principal cause
Of the failure Of the supply is due to

In the meantime town ditch Owners
have an opportunity Of cleaning their

should make the most Of. And when
the water shall be again turned in
they should resolve to keep a sharp
lookout aud be careful not to allow
the water to run longer than is neces

There has been no water in the

unusually light this spring. Ibis, in

who d.pend upon the bitches for their
supply OF water for domestic purposrs,
or to irrigste their shade trees. lawns
or gardens, have seen the supply cut

what Ia more, he has maintained his
original consistency Of motive and
positiOn--never having gone or after
strange gods or demsgogusd with
the passions or the prejudices Of the
people. He has been Q wise politl-
clan, but has never lowered his per-
sonal colors to any lgnoble methods

views Of Colonel Phillips As to the

forms, but knowing the political and
social instincts Of the man where
questions Of human advancement
and progress are concerned, there
can be no risk In saying that he will
