THE MISERABLE COW.

With the opening OF spring comes the
miserable COW and with the COW the scrub
by, hungry horses. No householder nor
landholder has any rights sacred as
against these beasts, whose evil deeds
cannot properly be discussed in print.
In theory the town cows are herded
and kept away from lawns, gardens
and other precincts where they have no
just claims; while in practice some OF
them manage to worry the outskirts. The
horses are trooping around, breaking in,
and eating all in sight; punching their
feet in newly-made lawns; tearing up
gardens, and doing enough TO merit a
charge OF buckshot, II only they were
blamable. The owner is seldom, If ever,
within buckshot range, wherein he shows
that he is wise as well as practical.
The city is now beginning work on its
public park on the plateau within the
borders OF the town west of the track,
and the people living whereabouts are
hoping that this will furnish motive suf-
ficient to secure the enforcement OF the
law. There will be too much at stake
when the trees begin growing to make
neglect excusable; and it is better to be
little patient than to use dogs and
guns. However, patience is virtue that
may be worn out with too much use, and
the COW and horse pirates otherwise
good citizens) may look for alarming
outbreaks this summer II the lawlessness
of last season is repeated. 1t is too much
for human nature to endure. A row Of
sprouting peavines is not the most i'm
portant thing in the world; but, in its
humble way, it is as dear to the heart Of
the owner as is the old COW who devours
1t; therefore the whole matter becomes
one of quite as much Importance in this
vicinity as the state land
or the Bering sea fisheries

The Republic was troubled last week
about "some fragrant misstatements re-
garding reorganization" which THE HER
AID would make. The management of
this paper endeavors to give the truth
and the news, and II miscellaneous are
ever made they creep in through error OF
Information and notfrom intention. THE
HERALD was opposed to reorganization
through the conviction that the retention
Of our present charter was for the best
interests Of the city and Of the citizens.
There have been no valid arguments ad-
vanced in favor Of change and the vapid
illusions printed in our esteemed, but
misguided contemporary, on this ques-
ton, most certainly would not have a
tendency to alter our views and they did
not seem to have the desired effect on the
intelligent voters.

THE question will soon become an in
teresting one OF whether the great Column
bian fair at Chicago will be q success
financially as it most certainly is as a
spectacle. Thirty-three millions of dol
lars is the estimated outlay for the ex-
position, and, aside from the sale OF priv
ileges, the management have 20 weeks, OF
six days each or 1855 days in all, in which
to make good this vast sum of money
This day week ago, $4,000 paid admis-
sion tickets were received at the gates
and at this rate 1t would require $500
days for return OF the amount expend-
ed. OF course at the present time, when
much Of the exhibit is in a chaotic state
and the season Of holidays has not begun,
the receipts are greatly below what the
average will be, but still, increase the
average paid attendance skiold and il
would then require the gates OF the faii
to be open for over two years to recover
the outlay, with enormous expenses Of
maintenance constantly accumulating.

CARLYLE w. HARRIS, the young medical
student who murdered his girl-wife by
poison, and whose trial had become one
OF national interest, was electrocuted in
New York on Monday, Notwithstanding
the strenuous efforts that were made to
secure his acquittal; new trial; COM
mutation Of sentence, and finally pardon.
He protested his innocence to the last.
Little doubt OF his guilt can remain in
the minds OF those who closely followed
the evidence and various phases OF the
case. The doubt, If such can exist, will
not rest on the evidence submitted, but
on the fact that now and then terrible
mistake is made when all the testimony
points towards guilt. At Ellensburgh not
long ago Cal Hale, of Oregon, was con-
victed Of being implicated in the robbery
of the Roslyn bank The evidence was
of such nature that the jury would not
have been fulfilling its obligations had it
not brought in verdict against the pris-
oner. Link by link the chain was welded
together, that brought about conviction,
from the character OF the prisoner to his
positive Identification by the cashier and
others as he was in the act of robbing
the bank. Yet, after his conviction. in
an application for new trial, it was
shown beyond question of doubt that
he was absolutely innocent of the crime,
and on motion of the prosecution he was
discharged.

THERE is no valid excuse why Yakima
instead OF sending thousands Of dollars
out Of the country for eastern hams and
bacon should not raise pork OF a grade
that would still further spread her name
and fame. 1t is generally supposed that
Indian corn is an essential feature in hog
raising and while we grow very good
corn we cannot pretend to compete with
the middle states but corn is not only
unnecessary but finer grade Of pork is
obtained through fattening and harden
ing on barley. The Westphalia hams
are conceded the best in the world. They
are the despair Of the Chicago and all
other pork packers. The meat is OF a
fine flavor, fine texture, is cured lighter
and keeps sweeter than any product OF
the kind known in the market. The
Westphalia sausage will be sweet, moist
and soft six months or six years after
making while in six weeks the American
sausage will make good coupling pins for
our heavy freight trains. These West
phalia hams and sausage are made from
hogs raised on green feed, and fattened
on ground barley mixed with water and
allowed to sour just trifle. Barley and
not corn fattened pork is the best and
Yakima grows good barley and nothing
could be better for raising young pigs
to the fattening age than our luxurient
alfalfa pasture. With plenty of pure
water, thousands Of acres of alfalfa and a
good barley region there is no reason
why Yakima should not make this an
important and profitable industry.

1t is related that Waterville woman,
Mrs. ], M. Cook, once had a very re-
markablo vision, In her dreams she met
q man with peculiar physiognomy, who
said to her, "Your turn next, and then
disappeared The next morning she re-
membered the mans face perfectly, but
could not recall under what circum'
stances she met him Again aha dreamed
the same thing, For weeks and mDptha
after she would occasionally hayo tho
same dream without the slightest varta
ton, She began TO be seriously troubled
over the occurrence and at length de-
cided to leave town.
She had been in Philadelphia o few
days when she had occasion TO 50 into
ono Of the large buildings, Upon tho
second floor she noticed that there was
an elevator and decided to wait for "
Just at that moment it came down. and
as it went by the second story landing
voice within said, Your turn next"
This startled Mrs. Cook, but She
thought it merely accidental that these
were the precise words of her dream and
resolved to repress her fears, The Gle
yator came up and stopped She almost
tainted when she saw that he was the
perfect image of the man Of her dream
Her terror can better be imagined than
described, She recovered herself quick
