In buying stock cattle color nowadays cuts quite a figure. Even down in Texas, where so many stock cattle have changed hands recently, buyers have been careful to pick out the deep reds and white faces, even paying q decided premium for them because they believed they could dispose of them at a better advantage at market The fact is they want them to show breeding, either toward the Hereford or Polled-Angus class. Hornless stock cattle will outsell any other kind, quality being equal. So stock cattle at the present time, to he popular and in style, must be hornless and show some aristocracy.-Drover's Journal

THE STATE FAIR,
It'll the opening of the State Fair at Sacra-
w mento display is made of what Californian

It'll the opening of the State Fair at Sacra-
w mento display is made of what Californian
- farmers can do in the way of growing prize
products in dry year. 1t is display that could
not be duplicated in any other State even IN the best
of seasons and affords striking proof OF the wide
variety OF rural industries and the general excel
ence of the crops attained matter what the con-
ditions of the weather may have been during the
growing
The agricultural exhibits, however, do not COM
pose the whole display by any means. The State
Fair in fact, is in many respects exposition OF all
the industries of California and among the EXHIBITS
can be evidences of productive capabillty
in all lines of work from machinery to fine art This
tendency toward making at Sacramento something
like universal display of the industry, ingenuity and
skill OF our home workers is a growing one; and
in quite number of lines the exhibits this year are
larger in quantity, diverse in and better
in quality than ever before.
California having been found to be better htted
for the breeding of fine horses than any other part
of the United States and probably of the world, and
the tastes Of many OF most enterprsing mil
lionares having in the direction of horse breed
ing, that industry has become of the most nota-
Bile of the State; and, as a consequence, racing is
one of the chief features of all fairs. At Sacra
mento that feature will be particularly prominent this
year, and the new rules and regulations which have
been adopted for the racing events assure results
that will be than gratifying both to horse
men and to the general public.
All the fairs to be held in California this fall have
special importance from the fact that the time is
at hand when people must begin preparations
for making adequate display of the products of
the State the Paris Exposition in 1900 1t is
certain that the Eastern States are going to enter
the competition seriously and endeavor to eclipse the
world 1t is the intention to make at Paris dis
play which will show that the United States the
greatest industrial nation earth, and in carrying
out that intention California will be expected to do
her share
As the exhibits must be in place when the expo
stion opens in the spring of 1900 the rural display
must be made up from the crop of next year. Con-
sequently the fairs of this year afford something like
a rehearsal from which learn where the State
can get its finest articles for the coming competition
with the world. Of all the fairs that at Sacramento
will be the most complete and therefore its exhibits
should be we'll studied by all who are interested in
our advancing welfare

DEGENERATION OF THE POUND.

HE conviction in one OF the Police Courts OF
a deputy pound keeper for having used vulgar
language in capturing dog indicates that the
public pound rapidly relapsng into its old condi-
ton of ineficiency and disgrace. The evidence
given in the in question showed that this deputy
entered Fifth street in pursuit of vaua-
bic dog belonging to the proprietor and upon being
demonstrated with for attempting take the animal
replied in language at once indecent and abusive.
A number of ladies were in the place at the time
and all immeasuraby shocked by the conduct
OF the official When arrested and arraigned for the
ofense, the deputy only admitted the OF the
language but repeated it in open court this
sion applying it to the Judge himself charge of
assault with deadly weapon is also pending against
this deputy. 1t is alleged that he drew pistol upon
the owner of another dog who objected to his
methods.
This is the old story over again. 1t is the public
pound in the hands of politicians who have no re-
spect for the laws, but who intent only upon
making fees. During all the years in which the
institution was in charge of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals there was not
a single well founded complaint of lawessness or
violence But ever since the Board OF Supervisors
took the pound of the hands of this society and
gave it to political favorite complaints have been
frequent.
The trouble always was with the pound that hood
lums given authority to the city in search
OF stray animals. Perhaps it would be difficult to
get easy going, respectable citizens engage in this
business, but there is no reason on earth for confer
ring the authority to impound animals upon hood
lums and backguards.
At one time the pound became disreputable that
it constituted factor in politics. Boss Buckley
placed it in charge of the late Jake Lndo, whose
cruelty and lawlessness became conspicuous that

The hoodums whom he employed used to actually
break into corrals and release cattle for the purpose

dogs took them out of the arms Of their owners
The political downfall Of Boss Buckley was largely
attributable to Lindo's management of the pound.

RULES OF THE HOUSE.

How can I learn the rules of the
House?'' asked a newly elected Irish
member of the late Mr.. Parnell. "By
breaking them, was the prompt reply of
the Irish leader, who, as is we'll known,
spoke from experience on the point. But
few members would care to adopt that
heroic method of obtaining the desired
knowledge, and their task in mastering
the rules is rendered all the more diff
ficult by the curious fact that many of
these regulations are unwritten.
Some will be found in the standing or
ders, or permanent rules passed from
time to time by the House to regulate
its own procedure, but those that deal
with etiquette and decorum have not
been officially recorded anywhere, save
in few quaint and obsolete regulations
to be found in the old issues of the jour
nails of the House, or in the minutes of
proceedings during the session. For in
stance, a strange rule for the guidance
of the Speaker is set down under the
18th Of February, 1920: THE Speaker is
not to move his hat until the third con-
gee" Propriety of carriage in leaving
the chamber is thus enforced: Those
who go out of the House in "a confused
manner before the Speaker to forfeit

CONFEDERATE RATIoNS.

General Shafter. in recounting in a re-
port to the President the hardships
through which his army passed, said:
What put my command in its present
condition were the twenty days of the
campaign when they had nothing but
meat, bread and coffee, without change of
clothes, without any shelter whatever.
and during the period twice as stormy as
1t has been since the surrender
Such statement makes many of the
Confederate veterans of the Civil War
smile. They can recall that, for the
greater part of the last three years of
their service, they bivouacked, winter and
summer, under the sky They had no
tents, and met snow and rain with no
other shelter than could be constructed
with blanket and few fence rails. AS
for change of clothes, that was a lux
ury rarely enjoyed. And how the starv-
ing soldiers at Santiago must have suf-
fered on steady diet of meat, bread and
Coffee! In comparison with the luxurious
fare of the Confederates, the Santiago
menu makes a poor show. If General
Shafter had only fed his men on marched
corn and water every few days he would
have brought them out of their troubles.
But 1T is mighty rough on soldiers who
have to live twenty days on meat. bread

SEEKERS SHOULD
AVOID FROZEN ALASKA

Captain John McCafferty, ex-Collector
OF Customs for Alaska arrived from
Dawson City yesterday, by way of Seat
tie. He sounds note of warning to gold
seekers contemplating n trip to that ice
bound territory. His profession being that
of mining engineer and his mission thither
being strictly within the line of his bust
ness, he had unusually good opportunities
for observation.
His summing up of his experience is
that the gold placer diggings of Alaska
are short lived and that there are no true
assure veins in that territory, because the
country is too much broken I'D and be-
cause the geological indications are such
as to warrant the conviction that there
is no gold-bearing quartz "fn place"
Large broken deposits of gold or bo-
nanzas may be found there, but they will
be of the nature of pockets and will not
last.
The most surprising opinion expressed
by him is that the present diggings are on
the point of being worked out and that
many of them have barely paid expenses.
He asserts also that all the stories told
of Klondikers returning with large sums
of money are not true; that in many in
stances men reported to have arrived In
Seattle wealthy had not dollar to th-'r
names and had to be assisted out of AL
aSka by friends or charitable miners The
reason for the false statements circulated
by certain papers in Seattle and this city
is said to be owing to the greed of the
transportation companies for passengers
and freight In telling of his experiences,
Mr.. McCafferty said yesterday:
I direct from Dawson by way Of St.
Michael. Dutch Harbor and Seattle.

A THoRoUGHFARE COMPETITION.

~ NOE more the capitalists of San Francisco
| have united to accomplish work of great
~ magnitude, designed to achieve far-reachng
benefits only for the city, but for the State The
movement is an outcome OF that which has car
ried the Valley road forward to rapid success, and
will extend the advantages of that road to the people
by connecting with great transconnental system
of railways thus afordng California industries the
benefits of competing route all parts OF the East.
Rumors of the proposed enterprise have been
rent for some time and reports or less vague
concerning have been published in several papers
of the city, but The Call of yesterday the first
to give authentic statement of the facts The
enterprise which is consist of the construction of
a line of railway southwark from Bakersfield over
the TETON Pass to point where it can make con-
necton with Eastern lines, has been undertaken by
company of capitalists and business men, all of this
city Articles of incorporation already drawn up
and the work will be pushed forward with much
energy as that so conspicuously shown in the con-
struction Of the Valley road.
The accomplishment of competing thoroughfare
across the continent within time so comparatively
short as that which will have elapsed from the date
when Mr.. Claus Spreckels accepted leadership in the
movement for building the Valley road to that which
will mark the completion of the enterprise will be
one of the most notable industrial Accomplishments
of the century 1t is but short time ago that the
Southern Pacific monopoly regarded its control of
California as something which could not be shaken
off The builders of the road down the San Joaquin
showed that this confidence i'll founded, and now
enterprise which will break the mo-
nopoly altogether
1t will be in vain that the Southern Pacific boasts
of the passage of the funding bill for which it has
fought hard. The competing road will destroy
its power of monopoly, and it will no longer be able
to fix freight rates at all the traffic will bear The
enterprise of Our business in railroad building
has emancipated the city and the State far COM
pletely than the politicians could have DONE even
had they fulfilled all the pledges they ever made
Tie monopoly is dead Our industries are free and
the prosperity of the State now better assured than
ever before in its history
