TRAINING THE COLT.
The Process Should Begin with the Life
of the Animal

The Process should Begin with the Life
of the Animal
Some weeks since a subscriber lost
his life by breaking two-year old
colt The colt had been gentle
through all the process of breaking,
ND to the time of the disastrous DEM
onstration. But never having been
accustomed to harness or driving un-
til short time before, the animal was
actually nervous and. as is always the
case, under such circumstances, was at
all times liable to fright and to do
damage. The colts training, as has
been said hundreds of times. should
begin with the life Of the colt, and be-
fore it is ever hitched to wagon it
..hould be practically broke. 1t is
gross folly to hitch strong, ignorant
colt to vehicle and take seat behind
the animal Any man who does it
lakes his life in his hand. Before
hitching the colt up familiarize it with
every duty of the horse except pulling.
The colt or horse can entertain but
me idea at time, and hence can be
Taught only one thing at time
Naturally, therefore. it cannot be

time. It may be forced to do
it, but it may take it into its head
to do some forcing itself Be
gin TO halter break when the colt is
two or three days old; teach it to lead
by tying it beside the mother on the
road, but only for short distance at
first. Then accustom it to harness,
first a bit of wood tied over the head
with strings, then a surcingle, then
breast strap, then a collar, first one
open at the top. and then one put on
over the head, and SO on until it is &C
customed to full set of harness. Then
place the harnessed colt alongside OF

A SURE ROUTE TO SEATTLE.

The only sure way of reaching Seattle
the same day of starting is to travel on
the mail steamer, Lydia Thompson.
By this cute there is no transferring
and "missing the other boat at Anacor-
tes." Returning you can leave Seattle
in the morning 10y the Thompson, and
reach Friday Harborin time for dinner.
The Thompson is the most comfortable
passenger boat that ever was run OH the
Friday Harbor and Seattle route. You
will avoid disappointments and the
vexations, trials and tribulations incl
dent to transfers, by travelling and
shipping by the Thompson. Passengers
may leave Friday Harbor by this route
at 2 O'Clock in the afternoon and reach
Seattle by $50 O'Clock the same evening.
The Best and safest is always the
cheapest.

Hon. John L. Wilson was elected
q. S. Senator, for the state of
Washington, by the legislature last
Thursday. He received the entire
republican vote on joint ballot.
Mr.. Wilson is, perhaps, the peer Of
any of the republican aspirants for
the office, and will undoubtedly do
as well by our state as any of them.
However we do not think that the
members Of the legislature would
have betrayed their trust or dis
pleased the mass of their constitu-
ents, had they seen fit to ignore
each and every one of those politi-
clans who were working for the
position, and elected Judge Dunbar,
or some other equally as good a
man, who was at home attending
to his own business. One of the
fundamental principles of a Repub-
ican form of government is that
"The Office should seek the man
and not the man seek the office"
The lobby of capitol building
is a poor place to search for a pat
riot, and patriotism; and not so
much selfshness is what our gov
eminent is sorely in need of at the
present time.

Why not start colony, similar
to the one in Whatcom county, on
some one of the islands in our own
county? Some may say that we
would get an undesirable class of
immigrants. However we think
almost any class of immigrants who
have money would be desirable, if
they would clear up our forests.
