them are pure and full Of the tonic of

Governor Scofeld of Wisconsin and
his associates have abandoned the idea
of building a railroad into the timber
lands of the Snake and Clearwater re-

number of objections viii CHI he advances
as being inimical to his plans. One is
the price of timber land and the exces-
sive charge for right of way over state
lands He is disappointed with the out
look in general so far as his corporation
! is concerned, but he tells the O. r. & n
to go in there and build road and that
they cannot help but make money out OF
it. The governors ideas are given in q

undoubtedly sets forth some obstacle:

WAR ON DoCKED TAILS WON

Denver's horses will no longer
parade the streets with dockeI
tails. That is not unless they are
registered according to the pro-
visions of the new law, passed
through the efforts of the Humane
society.
The society was under the im-
preston that the horse's tail was
intended to be useful-fashion
conceived that the caudal appcnd-
age was for beauty only.
This present law provides for
horses already docked, and PEN
atty for docking or having in pos-
session a doeked animal. Those
horses that have undergone the
operation must be registered, with
in the next 90 days. Prosecutions
will begin after the expiration OF
that time. The penalty is a fine
of $500, 90 days Imprisonment,
or both.
Among the literature circulated
by the society in relation to this
subject is letter, which contains
a fact not usually known, namely,
that the docking of the tail IS NOT
matter of removing the hair
only, but also of removing part
of the flesh and bone.
