A DEADLY OCCUPATION.

bringing Out lisrax From tho Hifts In
Death Valley.
Tho deadliest occupation for men or
horses is teaming in the borax fields Of
Death valley of the great American des-
ort There tho longest teams in the
world are employed. Scientists declare
that tao ierce heat in this narrow rent
in the cracked surface of the earth is
not equaled elsewhere in the world
Where the thermometer often registers
140 degrees of heat unrelieved by even
a breath of air, where men sleep at
night in hollow bitches filed with WA
ter in ordcr to avoid dying from col
lapse, the necessity for the longest
teams of mules and horses cvor harness
ed TO draw the great borax laden wag-
ons is apparent
Tho desert team 10 the longest in the
world, and tho percentage Of deaths
among the horses is greater than that
of domestic animals used in any other
callirg Forty to go horses are often
hitchod to one Of tho numbering vohi-
cles in which the borax is slowly drag
ged across the sun baked alkali plains.
The average life of even the sturdiest
horse used IN this work is six months,
for in this length Of time they either be-
come broken winded, consumptiye from
inhaling the deadly dust Of the desert
or arc driven crazy by tho frightful heat.
A man there. though protected by the
wagon awnings from the suns rays,
cannot go an hour without water with
out danger Of death. When a team
breaks down and the water supply be-
comes depleted. the men ride on at top
speed for the nearest source Of supply,
and often when they return they find
that the remaining horses, made mad
by thirst. have broken from tho harness
and dashed of only to find death in the
desert.
Tho borax wagons weigh 5000
pounds and carry 30, pounds at a
load. Behind each wagon il tank con-
tanning hundreds Of gallons Of water.
The horses ggo hnrnessed in pairs. the
trained ones in the lead, and tho mex
in in diligence just ah0ad of the tongue

jaw fhortor than the other, and from
the lridlo runs a braided rope, which
tho driver. perched on the wagon seat,
holds in his right hand.
Tho rope is called the jerk line and
is little longer than the team, which
stretches ont several hundred feet IN
front of tha wagon. During tho busy
season tho borax wagons make an al
most continuuus train, and the horses
alone, If placed in single file, would
nuke team moro than 100 miles long
Besides little food and water the
poor animals gee no care They curry
themselves by rolling in the burning
sand. After a few months Of tho killing
labor tho poor creatures become unfi
for service. A kindly rife ball then end
their agony, and their omaciated car
cGsses are left alongside the trail to fur
nish scant picking for the lowering vul
lures. California Letter.

WASHINGTON, Nov. THE case of tho
United States versus O. H. Wight, gen.
eral freight agent OF the Baltimore and
Ohio, was argued in the supreme CURT.
Wight was convicted by jury of unlaw-
ful discrimination between shippers, in
violation OF the Interstate commerce act.
1t is alleged that he granted special Sc
cret rebate of - cents per hundredweight
to shipper on beer shipped from Cincin-
natl to Pittsburg. A discharged employee
reported the matter to the government
authorities
Meanwhile the Panhandle railroad, un-
able to find out where the trouble was by
which the Baltimore and Ohio got the
business cut schedule rates Wight's ex-
cus0 On the trial was that the man given
the special rate had siding on the Pan
handle road, and that the Baltimore and
Ohio could not get his business without
giving him a rebate, which was under the
guise Of an allowance for carriage. The
case was argHed by II. T. Bond of Balti-
more for Wight and Edward B. whitney,
assistant attorney general, for the United
States. This Is she first criminal oonvic-
ton of a railroad officer for unjust dis
orimination, and the case has been watched

NEW YoRR, Nov. THE Herald says:
IT is regarded by Republican politicians
as practically settled that Cornelius n.
Bliss, tho treasurer OF the Republican ma
sional committee, will be the secretary
of the treasury under President MoKin-
ley. One report goes so far as to say that
Mr.. Bliss has been asked by the president
elect to hold the treasury portfolio and
has accepted. This is probably surmise.
But it can be stated as fact that Major
Mckinley wants Mr.. Bliss In his cabinet
and that Mr.. Bliss can be prevailed on to
give the new administration bis assistance
