A Wonderful Horse

When out on the Montana circuit
Frank Frazier had lot of fun with the
drivers OF horses opposed to Chehaiis.
Some OF them were last ones but Frank
generally managed to pass them with
word Of encouragement to the driver 10
hurry up and get in in time for refresh-
ments at the bar. One of these drivers
was Dick Benson, who had q good mare,
Argorette, opposed to Chehalis In two
races, both of which he won. Argorette
took the first heat from the black PAGER
in the Hot Corn stakes" for $500, and
was the cynosure of all eyes, but Che
halls turned the tables later. Apropos
OF this event, "Yarrum, "..a bright writer
of the Horse Review, well known
Chicago publication, has the following
comment to make:
"Dick Benson says there are more
hobbled PAGERS in California in proper.
tion to the number trained tEan in any
other state in the Union. Mr. Covey
could not deny this when asked him to
name the good ones that did rot wear
the straps he only got as far as number
four. They told some strange stories
about the great PAGER Chehalis, 2:07l4.
Benson Gays he is the handiest breaker
10 the business-can make one break
and go to the quarter pole in 20 seconds,
and can cover the same distance in 30
seconds and make three breaks doing it,.
ChehalIs Is evidently an easy horse to
drive. as his driver frequently picks his
teeth, reties his necktie and lights a
cigar, when going two minute gait at
the finish of q fast mile. The horse
seems to have almost rs much sense as
man, and will stand in che street when
ever he Is left without being tied, and do
many other things equally as clever
Chehalis is also remarkably handsome
horse, and, considering all his good
qualities. 1t is pity that he must wear
the hobbies
Chehalis does not often break unless
something 10 wrong with his trapping,
but when he dess he loses no time.-Ex.

D ownfa!l of Trusts.

The Commercial Bulletin says tha''the
only successIul trusts which aimed to
eontr ol their particular hnsiness are the
Standard Oil and Sugar Company" The
uhiskey and eordage trusts are examples
Of utter collapse; and the tobacco. lard, ,
leather. rubber and starch combinations
are fair examples OF the adverse intiu.

thinks the sugar trust 10 in danger Five
or six new refneries are in operation. or

Cd by people as well versed in the busi-
ness as the HaveTmyers themselves. II
the trust does not buy these mp It must
suffer frsm competition, and II il does, !,
not only reduces its funds, bu. the s,le
these at fancy prices will invite the
building Of more, until the time will
come when even that great trust cannot
take them all.
With business improving, capital 10
seeking Tor investment, and whs, is more
tempting than q sugar refinery. which
can be sold oct at q profit. or IL not sold
run ut profit. The trusts eannos long
be monpoiies, when By exorhiiant pro-
dts they tempt com peiit on. unless they
have secret processes which others eau
not learn, 90 long as there are capitalists
looking for opportunities TO invest money
where they can reasonably hope for lib
eral dividends. and farmers are not sorry
that it is 90.

oae of the features Of the late Worlds
Fair at Chicago was the statue Of Angus
tin DAIy's leading lady, Ada Rshan. in
Montana silver. According TO dispatch
from New York it is now proposed TO get
ths consent of President Mckinley for
his statue in gold for the Paris Exposi-
tios in 1890. + D Highly Of Chicago who
is pressing the scheme Gays the statue
will contain Fl ,050. 900 in gold bullion
1t is now understood that President Ne.
kinney refuses to countenance the
scheme, which certainly shows god
judgment.

Secretary Longs annual report con-
,ains several sentiments that must have
escaped Mr.. McKinley's blue pencil by
accident. For instance. ne speaks oi
possible annexation of islAnds ir the
Pacific" as though he entertained
doubts about the annexation OF Hswaii,
and lie acknowledges HE fear OF iha.
growing Treasury deficit by saying that
in expenditures Tor the Navy, due re-
gard lie necessary 10 the relation Of the
national expenditures 10 the natior al
revenues"
Several hundred employ es Of the Treas-
ury Department find it impossible TO
prepare for Christmas IN the proper
joyous spirit. owing to the fear that the
AZ will in the meantime fail upon their
official necks. The civil service law
provides that each state and territory
shail have proportionate quota of the
employees of the government. Secretary
Gage has jest had let prepared show
ing the residence OF the employees OF his
Department, and has announced his
intention TO weed out the "barnacles."
This has been interpreted by the employ
es to mean that dismisssls are TO be made
among the residents of those states
having more than their share.
Representative Hartman, OF Mont,
takes issue with republicans who are
trying so hard to create the impression
that the silver question is dead. He
says il 10 ihe liyest issue now before the
people, owing to the absolute failure of
the Wolcott Commissioni that last year
thousands OF republicans voted for
Mckinley, believing that he would do
something for silver. and now they
know that he will not. Mr.. hartman
makes this prediction for 1900: There
will be 800, 900 free silver republican
votes, 100000 populist votes, and
4. 500 900 democratic votes for the nomi-
nee who stands for the identical princi-
pies that Mr.. Bryan stood for last
year.
Representative Livingston. Of Ca,
who is one OF the best friends Cuba has
In Congress, doesn't think the outlook
good for legislation favorable TO Cuba.
He thinks there will be a lot OF talk bnt
no action.
