The ST. CroiX Lumber company, South
Saltwater, has shut down its mills for
the season and the impression among
lumbermen is that little saving will be
done from now on, although some expect
to start their mills again tomorrow and
continue until ice forms in the millponds.
The saving season has been one Of the
longest for years and mill men and their
employees have reaped a harvest

WILD HORSES DISAPPEARING
Great Herds of Range Horses In tho
West Slowly Vanish.

Gradually but surely the great herds OF
range horses on the interior plains Of
Washington, Idaho and Montana are be-
ing driven to; the wall. In the last two
years at least $1,000 head Of horses have
been removed from the ranges of Eastern
Washington alone. Their disposition has
been approximately as folIowsl Shipped
to Chicago and other Eastern markets,

rush, 5000; canned into horse meat at
Linton, Or, for shipment to France
5000; driven to Idaho, Montana, Wyom-
ing, Colorado and Utah, largely for pack
and saddle horses, 10000; broken for use
by new settlers in Washington, 10000;
died In the last two winters, 5000. Loss

has been, double the natural increase, re-
aducfug the nulHberg6f sWild horses in this
state from about 1e5;e00 to $4,000 or 90,0O0
At this rate Of decrease they would last
: fDr some years; but the fact is that the
horses are being confined to smaller
area each successive year, thereby in
creasing their chances Of destruction. At
least 5000 horses died of starvation last
winter in the districts north and south
Of the Snake river. Fifty to 80 per cent
OF some bands vanished under the condt-
lions Of short grass and. deep snow.
The cattle and sheep. on the other hand,
are rounded in the lower valleys during
the fall and fed during the winter. The
range horses are now confined almost en-
tirely to the thinly populated counties Of
Douglas, Lincoln, Adams and Franklin,
and parts Of Yakima and Klickltat, in
Washington. These animals are worth
So to $40, according to size and quality.
A large number of them are cayuses;
others are strong, larga-boned horses.
In June 5000 head Of Douglas county
horses were sold for shipment East at
$3.50 and 50 and IS a head, according to
size. The horse canning factory at Lin
ton, Or, has converted about 5000 head
into meat for shipment to France and
Germany in the last two years. A still
larger number will be canned in the near
future, for, the industrial department of
the Northern; Pacific railway has aided
in the establishment Of another horse
canning factory at Medora. N. D. A
home market for many thousand head
has been caused by the boom in the
wheat industry, owing to the. good crops
and good prices of the last two years.

The popular idea of a military charge
is that of an armed force dashIng precip-
itately up steep hill without any regard
for order or discipline. This, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer, is an entirely err
roneous impression, for troops are today
as carefully formed for a charge as for
fancy drill evolutions, and at the present
time in the Transvaal these operations
are carried out with admirable precision.
The scouts having brought intelligence
that a thousand Beers are occupying an
1ntrenched position FIVE miles to the front,
the general in supreme command will de-
tail two British battalions, each 1000
strong, to attack. This is in accordance
with the-rules governing the game-which
decree that, other things being equal, the
attacking force should always be at least
twice the strength of the defending. With
them Will go a battery of field artillery
and half dozen Maxims.
All actions, great and small, begin with
an artillery duel. Field artillery officers
claim for their weapons an effective range
of between S, 900 and 900 yards; but in
practice, except. under very exceptional
circumstances, they are seldom ordered
into action before the attacking force has
advanced to within about 5000 yards Of
the position to be assailed. Then q sin

ORDER OF ATTACK
At about 5000 yards the two battalions
separate. One stays 600 yards in the rear,
and becomes the main body Of the re-

into the firing line" supports" and ere

two combined. The force, In other words,
resolves itself into what is technically
known as the order of attack" some
what complicated arrangement, but one
which the accompanying diagram will
render clear. @<s
1t will be noticed that each line covers
precisely the same length of 'front.' and in
this order, and keeping the same interval,
they enter what military authorities have
agreed to term tho dangerous zorle.p
This may be anywhere between 500 and
300 yards according to the nature and

sub structures and super structures
within reach of the tax ~gatherer."
As to objections ra SD, Mr. Ford
says that the franchise tax which these
corporations pay is q tax upon their
corporate, not their public, franchises.
A steam railroad, he goes on, which
pays for it's steam road bed at the mar.
ket value, spends millions in repairing
it's ties and beds and other millions in
maintaining 1T, and it il taxed on every
foot Of land which it uses in connection
with it's right OF way, pays a franchise
tax to the 8 late in addition. 1t is taxed
on it's right ID be a corporation, and
that is VIVA the franchise tax paid by
a street railroad corporation is, moth
ing more nor less. The new tax on the
street railroad will bs a tax on its road
bed similar to that always paid by the
steam roads.
Another objection raised ia that
these corporations pay a percentage of
their gross receipts to the city, but
that, explains Mr.. Ford, constitutes
the consideration agreed to be paid by
the grantees for the property they re-
ceive, and in paying this sum they are
simply paying the franchise price A
city might sell sucn a corporation q
piece of ground upon which to erect its
power plant, but because the company
had paid the city for such a piece of
ground, surely it would not for that
reason be exempt from taxation. No
more would a franchise be exemptfrom
taxation bee use the city had sold il
for a portion Of the gross receipts.
This is one of the most interesting
questions of the day. The Times does
not believe in imposing upon corpora
tions simply because they are corpora
tione, but we believe that every cor
poration which receives fro n a city q
valuable franchise should be made to
pay to the city every dollar that that
franchise is worth. and we entirely
agree with Senator Ford, of New York,
that such franchises as he cites are
valuable property and should be made

again that machines" are implements
which democracy must learn to use,
and not hope to destroy. In PennsyI.
vania the 6ght against the Q lay ma
chine and in behalf of ballot reform
vas the predominant cause Of the
Democratic gains. Judge Brown, the
Republican candidate acceptable to the
retormers, had a maj ority nearly thirty
thousand greater than the head of the
ticket. In kentucky the Democratic
revolt against Goebel retained more
life than was feared when Mr.. Bryan's
tour Of the State forced national issues
10 the front. Eight thousand votes

fortunately, an error in the printing of
the ballots in one of the Republican
counties may throw the contest into
the legislature, where the Democratic
ms 1rity of nearly two to one may be
used to seat the party candidate. The
strongest expression OF popular hostil
isy to bossism, however, was in Ohio,
where Mayor jones actually carried
the cities Of Cleveland and Toledo, and
polled an unprecedented vote in all the
manufacturing ceuters. In Cleveland,
where Hanua's ~unpopularity reduced

little than half of Mayor Jones'
vote seems to have come from Repub-
licane, but elsewhere the bulk of it
seems to have come from the Democrats
