Good Road Qualities Desirable.

Farmers have one advantage over
the regular breeder, they can produce
good road horses Trotting horses
have engaged the attention OF the
large b. eeders until they know but
little about any other class OF ami
mails But buyers know too we'll that
breeding farm devoted wholly TO
producing horses with low track
record, are the poorest places in the
world 10 look for good road stock.
Buyers in these times want good
shapely horses, fast and we'll broken
TO drive. The track e+&ecation OF "A
fast colt Injuries him for use on the
ROAD because he is unaccustomed TO
the sights and scenes along the way.
He is nervous instead OF quiet and
keeps his driver on the lookout con-
stantly TO prevent accidents. The
well-shaped, moderately fast colt
bred on the farm knows everything
by the roadside and doesn't need TO
be watched every minute. He knows
that IL pays TO jog some OF the time
and so ~ always ready TO respond TO
REQUEST for extra exertion. The
track-educated colt wants TO spurt
and soon tires himself out by err
exertion or frcts himself out with
nervousness.
Farmers will find In this good
field for their efforts Good road
sters, stylish and safe for women and
children, are in active demand and
will be sought for this season more
than ever before 1t is probable, too,
that the demand will increase yearly
because more and more people are
buying horses tor moderate road use.
Given more with good speed blood
and stallion with some style and
spirit farmers should be able 10 raise
desirable horses year after year and
find ready sale at Temuneratiye

date for Congress.
Nevada City Transcript
Every day Hon. Grove L. johnson is
gaining votes, as the miners are becom-
ing more than ever convinced that the
| Repu blican candidate will be able 10 do
more for them in Congress than either of
the other candidates. When elected, it
will be the aim of his life TO assist the
miners in getting out the millions of dol
lars now locked up. Johnson's fight will
be a special one i'll that line, and every
Republican should cast his vote for him.
In his Grass Valley speech Mr.. Johnson
said:
81 am in favor of the National Govern
ment taking hold of this work; that it is
| not right to compel the individual miner
or the individual mining corporation TO
take charge of the work OF building dams.
II is asking too much OF them. l say the
expenditure of the individual miners
and the individual corporation should
| not be the expense of building restrain
ing dams, and then Carrying on their bus
mess at a profit. | am in favor of the
National Government appropriating a
sufficient sum to build one large restrain
ing dam at some point TO be designated
| by the Debris Commissioners, and then
permit every miner To work his mine by
whatever process he may desire TO work
1t, whether placer, quartz, drift or hy-
draulic, so long as the National Govern
| ment builds dam, or permits him TO do
it, if the United States Engineer deem it
proper.
"And if the individual miner or the in
dIvldual corporation desires to go to the
expense of building their own dams
under the rules laid down by the Debris
Commissioners and the mining engineers,
all right; but | am not in favor of COM
pelling them 10 do it. And | will be
frank with you, just as l was i'll San oa-
quin, as l have been in Amador, Gala
Veras, Tuolumne and Mariposa; just as /
was when l spoke in Sacramento; | am
i'll favor of the National Government do
ing 1t, for they ought to.
You all know that the gold mines of
California have been OF incalculable bene-
lit to the United States. You all know
| that the output of the gold mines of Cali
fornia prevented Il financial panic in the
United States in the early fiities. You
all know that good Old Father Lincoln
God rest his soul, and revere his memory
good Father Lincoln said the output of
the gold mines OF California preserved
the credit OF the Nation and enabled the
Government to successfully carry
through the Civil War, and, therefore, if
| am elected to Congress, / will leave
nothing undone for the best interests of
the miners"
