car loads are being shipped to the At
lantic coast for shipment to France.
where horse meat Is in demand, but these
shipments make no impression, on the
supply The horses are destroying the
ranges twelve months in the year, There
are over 100, COO head in eastern Washing
ton, and they are destroying ranges that
would support 100000 head of cattle. The
situation is appalling, from the cattle
mans standpoint.
"There are but few stockmen who ham
die both horses and cattle who will mot
welcome a winter that will destroy the
range horses, providing practically all
of them are taken. I will cite an instance
of what the horses are doing In 1880 the
Cow creek and lower PalouSe ranges, be-
tween Sprague and the Snake river, had
over 100, 900 head OF cattle and some sheep
on them. Then the bunch grass was
knee high. over the ranges. This year
10000 head of horses have kept the grass
down so these ranges will barely support
10000 cattle and 10000 sheep. Since July
they have presented the appearance of
absolute desolation. The horses eat
twenty-four hours day, and keep the
grass completely down.
mo taxes are paid on these horses.
The hard winter we expect VIII starVe
them to death. Owners will take out
their good horses and care for them If
80 per cent. of the total number are kill
ed off, the 10 per cent. left will be worth
as much as, If not more than. the entire
lot now. Once killed off, they will never
become as numerous again, for no eff
forts will be made to breed range horses
there being no money in the business
The number needed for farming and the
city demand can easily be supplied"
i On one or two small ranges. where
horses have not been feeding during the
summer, for lack of water. the bunch
grass is high. sticking out of the snow
These ranges will support most of the
horses expected to survive. The horses
can paw through three feet of snow to
reach the bunch grass, until the heavy
crust is formed. After that the most
vigorous paving gives but poor results.
SO numerous have the horses become
that the picking has been poor for two
years past. The range animals are in
very poor condition, and many have al
ready starved.

Every Watch a Compass.

'Several weeks ago in London" said
an English tourist at The Holland House,
II was standing beside an American ac-
quaintance, when l expressed a wish to
know which point was the north. He
pulled out his watch, looked at it anu at
once pointed In the right direction. l
asked him whether he had compass
attached to his watch. All watches are
compasses,' he replied. Then he explained
to me how this was. Point the hour hand
to the sun, and the south is exactly half
way between the hour and the figure XII.
on the dial. For instance, suppose it is
4 clock. Point the hand indicating 4
TO the sun. and IL OF the watch is ex-
actly south. Suppose, again, that it is
O'Clock. Point the hand indicating 10
the sun and the figure y on the dial is
due south.
INV American friend seemed surprised
that did not know this, and not wanting
to, be left alone in my ignorance, l asked
Henry NJ. Stanley. whom l met the foi.-
lowing day, whether he knew of this
sim pie means of taking the points of the
compass. My self-esteem rose when that
famous Traveller told me he had never
heard OF it. So. perhaps there may be
plenty OF folks in your country who still
remain in my original state OF ignorance
