The Passing of the Horse.

A prominent electric company has col
lected some startling figures, which show
the almost incalculable influence of the
introduction of the electric car, taken
merely on its one basis of replacing the
horse for traction purposes. 1t is esti-
mated that electric cars have already dis
placed 1,1OO 900 horses, and this esti-
mate is manifestly far below the actual
number. The feeding of these horses
would entail the consumption of $780,
600 bushels of corn or oats day. The
animals are now back on grass, and the
enormous decrease in corn and oats con-
sumption caused by their withdrawal is
sufficient to appreciably affect the prices
of these grains. In round figures, it
amounts to 1sO, ,Oo0, 900 bushels a year.
There is another view of this subject,
the significance of which will probably
be more apparent few years hence than
it is even now. The loss of commercial
demand for these coarse grains in the
cities means an enormous decrease in
the tonnage of the railroad freight traffic.
This failure is already put at minimum
of $50, 600 car leads. But it is not only
in public traffic that the day of the
horse is waning. In some cities the
electric car lines have been 30 judiciously

this meeting delegates to the National
Republican League meeting at Cleve-

quested that every club in the state be

weather Crop Bulletin No. 8 OF the
Oregon State weather Service
for Eastern Oregon.

Following is the report for the week
ending Monday, May 9Th:
Cooler, cloudy weather with rain
showers has prevailed since May 1st.
The maximum temperatures ranged
from So to 75 degrees; the minimum
temperatures fell from II to 10 degrees,
the minimum remaining stationary.
The rainfall was heavy and general,
ranging from one-half to three-quarters
of an inch. At The Dalles it was rs of
an inch, which is IL more than the
average for May. In Umatilla county
and to the south thereof, the average
May rainfall is from 1s5 to 20 inches, of
which 20 to 80 per centum has already
fallen. The rainfall was especially heavy
on Saturday and Sunday.
The rainfall was badly needed and it's
coming most opportune, the ground is
now in good condition for plowing and
fall seeding and in excellent condition
for the growth of the cereal, hay, fruit
and berry crops. Some correspondents
are of the opinion that the present rains
have insured full cereal crop, but past
experience has shown that the product
depends more upon the June weather
than upon the May rainfall. The rains
have been of inestimable value and BEN
eft and with favorable June weather,
will make large cereal output. Straw
berries are ripenlng at Hood River and
The Dalles, few having already ripened.
Green pears are in the market at The
Dalles. Fruit prospects continue excel
lent and barring frosts, a large crop will
result. Range feed is good, Stock in
prime condition. Sheep shearing with
uniformly heavy and good fleece con-
tinues. Prospects for all crops are first
class at present time.

Notice to Water Consumers.

The water commission has ordered
that the rules concerning the use of
water for irrigation be printed and
posted upon the gates of consumers, so
that all may understand what the rules
are. This has been done as ordered.
The great waste of water heretofore, and
the limited supply make the enforce
ment of these rules absolutely neces-
sary. All consumers will pIeasA take
notice of these regulations, and in case
of violation of the rules, the water will
be at once shut off and charge of 81

Statesmen, leaders of public thought.

won't to maintain that the currency

That the great mass Of the people

the currency question is apparently very
much OF a popular issue in wide terri
tory-the West and South. Here in

Tho purpose of the companies is to insure

about $3.50 year on an insurance Of $4,000.

nature and instinctively, on
the other side of whatever question.
But over the West and South the stump
is alive with currency orators, and that,
too. with no campaign impending, no

reason, indeed, for getting heated up
on any question of public policy or

We take it that book called "Coin's

hurrah and the making of the currency
question popular, and are, so far, dis

Very nearly, II not quite, the oldest baseball
player in the country is Capt. Glasscock, late

sidered the best shortstop in the country.
For ease and accuracy in stopping and throw
ing ball he has never had a superior. and his
batting is considerably above the average.
His experience has been remarkable. 1t is
doubtful If any man in the country has be-
longed TO So many clubs. or has been so often
in hot water. and yet his services have been
so valuable as to have been always sought for

however. our friends down that way will
only take cognizsnce of the fact that
the road must run into Providence, that
the General Assembly must be de-

now lot Of cranks and short-sighted if
well intentioned folk hereabouts are

now capitalists shouldn't feel
particularly enthusiastic about push
