bass for hope that anything can be ac.
comphshed now toward the union OF the
two places. although it wouid seem ;hat
such union ought 10 materially enhance

MONTANA sroCkMEN's LOSSES.
Storm and Cold Weather Kill Large
Numbers OF Cattle aud Sheep.


GREAT FALLS. Feb. 16.-TSpecial. "A
welcome chinook reached Northern Mon
tana day before yesterday. The pleasant
visitor is still here and has removed most
Of the snow from the ranges and other
wise counteracted the effect of the terrible
cold spell. 1t is hard matter as yet to
place any reliable estimate upon the losses
to stockmen. Reports from various coun-
ties in this part of the state are very con-
ticting and the exact percentage Of loss
among cattle will not be known until the
spring roundup starts out to gather stray
animals together. The cold weather was
hardest on pilgrim or recently imported
cattle. The poor animals were mostly
from Texas and other Southern points, and
had not been in the state long enough to
become acclimated. Over 10000 head of
Southern cattle were turned lose on the
ranges OF Montana last season. Some
stockmen place the loss among such stock
as high as 40 per cent. and few others
maintain it will even exceed that Native
cattle Jared better, being somewhat accli-
mated to the Northern climate and famil-
i ar enough with the range to seek places
of shelter in the Coulee river bottoms on
the approach of the storm.
Several reports have reached here of
finding the bodies of thirty to forty COWS
and steers in a bunch. ali frozen stiff. but
cattlemen are disposed to doubt this.
Sheep men have also experienced I'M
usual loss, regardless of the fact that they
always prepare for cold weather and can
gather their ilocks in enclosures and feed
them hay during extremely cold spells
like the late one. Many old sheep in
frozen. even when in the corrals. A
sheep company near here reports the loss
OF 400 out Of q band of >, 500 which is an
almost unprecedented loss from cold
weather. From all that can be learned il
| is safe to say that this loss far exceeds the
| average. which will probably be about 10
ppr cent.

BARB WIRE BARRIERS.

Most Dangerous Form Of Fence-Enicient
Use OF Single Wire.
Barb wire fences have saved millions of
dollars in providing efficient barriers be-
tween grain and cattle fields. But seri-
Gus objection has arisen in the wounds
which the decorating barbs inflict on the
animals which carelessly dash against
them. Their danger arises directly from
their value. Wires without barbs would
not intlict any wounds and they would
not retard strong and furious animals.

Loss in the WiIlapa Fire 81 600.

South BEND. Feb. 16.-[Special. The
loss suffered by Montgomery & Albright
by the burning of their large store in
Willapa last Saturday night is now esti-
mated at $500. The total loss was $751;
600, of which $4,000 was covered by
insurance, the German-American Insur-
ance Company will be the heaviest losers.
The fire is generally regarded as having
been incendiary. About $4,000 worth of
goods was saved. The firm was the largest

Fairhaven herald. [volume] (Fairhaven, Wash.) 1890-????, 1893-04-12

Another interesting case involving the
right Of labor to boycott has been decid-
ed in the supreme court of New York
Charles Curran, a nonunion man, was
discharged from his place as engineer in
Rochester brewery through the agency
of Knights of Labor assembly. The
organization secured his discharge be-
cause he was nonunion. Thereupon
Curran sued the president of the Knights
of Labor assembly for $4,000 damages
Curran's attorney demurred to the plea
set up by the defense, and Judge Adams
of the supreme court sustained the de-
murrer, His verdict was that Curran
had a right to sue for damages, because
depriving man of his right to labor for
the reason that he does not belong to a
labor union is an interference with per-
sonal liberty that the law will not coun-
tenance. If labor unions could find
some legal way to attack the employers
against whom they have grievance, in
stead of the poor laborers whom they
designate as scabs they would hit a
more vital spot.

Edward Everett Hale.

Few people who read about the Hood
lum Club" in The Cosmopolitan would be-
heve unless they knew it to be fact that
that wise, merry boy who wrote it, Dr..
Hale, is II years old the Sd day of April
He is as lively as the best youngster and
far happier and better tempered than
most boys, for he has learned how to
be. This is the lesson of life-to pre-
serve the health and spryness of youth
and gain besides the sweet temper and
calm of the sage, who knows shat even
the worst ills cannot last forever.
DR.. Hale is so young today because he
has lived one of the purest and noblest
lives man can compass. From the time
he left college young Unitarian minis
ter he has always been working for 9TH
ers. Now he organized reading club;
now he inaugurates a plan to interest
good citizens in municipal government;
again he thinks long and carefully on
the labor question and sees that intelli-
gent cooperation among working.people
themselves will do away with their
greatest troubles. Wherever he has been
settled in the course of his life he has
always left neighborhoed cleaner, bet
ter and wiser than he found it. His lat
est idea, as expressed in The Cosmopoli-
tan, is the story of club that is sup
posed to be formed among the street
arabs and bad boys of certain locality
to keep them from loafing and destruc-
tive mischief of evenings.
No wonder this blessed man keeps
young. BE is SO busy trying to find wise
ways of helping other people that he
never has time to have any illness or
grievance Of his own.

The Times has gone to the wall as a
daily, but threatens to continue as a
twelve-page weekly, and thereby get
even with those of its patrons who have
paid their subscription in advance. In
its valedictory the Times says its pub
fishers "feel that the democracy have
made mistake in not supporting the
Times to the utmost OF their power, and
particularly since miserable few hun
bred dollars would have enabled the
paper to publish later and better news
than any other paper north of Seattle"
Judging from our own experience, one
would imagine the term miserable"
would define the condition of the pub
fishers rather than qualify the emotions
of the dollars.

Powell's Prophecy.

Z. P. Powell writes in the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat that he has been amused
and largely edited by the syndicated
prophecies which have appeared touch
ing people and things in this country in
1903. Then Mr.. Powell tries his hand at
the foretelling business too. Prophecy
seems to be in the air.
For one thing Mr.. Powell is glad the
syndicated predictions are mostly op-
timistic and faithful to the spirit Of
American destiny. He says it is easy for
anybody to declare that the United
States will be the greatest nation on the
globe in 1893 We have now a popula,
ton equal to that of both France and
Germany. The next great achievement
before the race he believes is interna-
tional sanitation He predicts that in so
years more there will not be left any
where an unconquerable disease. Small
pox, typhus, cholera and yellow fever
will be abolished Our pestilential
swamps will be drained, our pestilential
habits reformed The aim to be imme-
diately reached by mankind is "cleanly
manhood and long life on earth"
Mr.. Powell recalls how so years ago
John Tyndall was denounced as an athe-
list because he declared that instead of ap-
pealing to divinity to cure diseases man.
kind should begin to observe divine hy-
gienic and sanitary laws, and thus not
contract the diseases. We are less de
vout than the people of half a century
ago were, but if we are less devout we
are also less nsanitary.T People will
still die in 1850, but Mr.. Powell says the
cause of death will not be disease, but
heart failure, a dropping off more or less
suddenly. Such death will be the result
of the fierce, high pressure life which
civilized man leads today. He strains
every nerve in his body to exhaustion;
then he takes stimulants to keep up. If
he is so wildly excited that he cannot
sleep, he takes narcotics He whips his
nerves with stimulants, then deadens
them with drugs There must come a re-
action from this, and the next stepin our
progress will be the enlightenment Of
the people to the ruin wrought by pow
erful drugs.
The growth of a grand brotherhood
among nations will be one of the achieve
ments of the next century. 1t is cheer
full to know that Mr.. Powell feels sure
young people viii not waste their time
any more over the learning of dead Ian
guages in 1908. Manual training will
go hand in hand with mental training,
and neither viii soon the other.
