ton to the business and the number has
fallen off nearly 100000 head in the
last four years.
1t will be noticed that the lowest price
was reached in 1897 and that prices have
since gone up over Sc a head, or nearly
20 per cent In view Of the "horseless
age" writer's, who are so numerous
now, this is interesting and encourag-
ing. The truth of the matter is that
at no time in the history of the horse
business does really good, well-broken
animal find better or quicker sale and
at no time in the horse business has
the world less use for a scrub. The rise
in the average price of horses dur
ing the past two years is due to the
on the market. The results of more
care in breeding are beginning to tell.
The vast difference in value between
the good horse and the scrub holds the
average price below what it was sew
eral years ago. There is no question
| that, if the two classes of horses were
| treated of separately, the figures result
| ing would not be at all discouraging to
| the intelligent horse breeder. The value
| of all the horses in the United States
| is now about one-half of what it was
| in 1892, but it is the drop in the price
| of the scrub which has done the dam
age.
The demand for driving horses, farm
horses and cavalry mounts. is increas-
| ing. The buyers are more particular,
| but more willing to pay for what they
want The use of electricity, the bicycle
! and the motor has decreased the de-
mand for horses to a certain extent,
but the increase of farm acreage, the
extension of operations in many direc-
tions due to prosperity and the de-
mands of the armies at home and
abroad have counteracted much of this
loss. The standard of horse is higher
every year. He cannot be merely a
good horse to meet the requirements of
the people who pay fancy prices, but he
must be the very best there is for draft
or private stable. The raising of such
horses as these requires the invest
ment Of considerable capital, but any
man who raises horses under even the
most primitive conditions can nova.
days wonderfully improve his stock
each year. If he does not he will soor
find, himself in the large class of those
who have found disaster in the bust
ness.
The shipment of horses from Wash
ington and Oregon to the East is al
interesting feature of the market, for i
was not so many years ago that herds
could be bought in that section for S
or 81 a head on the brand books. TIL,
range horse of Washington and Oregon
was formerly a larger and better ami
NAL than the range horse OF Montana
Wyoming and the Dakotas, owing t
the formation of small Indian stool
used to start the herds in the latte
states. The horses of all these ranges
, however, have improved rapidly of lat

number of ordinary but good sized an,

Gallant Service.


Capt William f. o. Horton, who has been
appointed an assistant quarterma ster in the
volunteer army, was born in Washington,
was educated here and has lived here all
his life. He was for long time actively
connected with the District militia, under

retary to Gen. Horace Porter, grand mar
shal of the 1897 inauguration parade, and
to Gen. G. NJ. Dodge grand marshal of the
parade at the dedication of the Grant mon
ument In New York city. Captain Horton

eral Hawkins, and was the only one out
of five aids who was not either killed or
seriously wounded during this engagement.
General Hawkins very highly commented
his bravery and efficiency in this engage
ment, and 1t is probably in recognition of
these services that the President has made
the appointment.
