CARE OF THE HORSE.

It usually will pay to raise good
colts.
You cannot get horse in good con-
dition unless he has proper food and ex-
ercise, and IL costs no more to keep q
horse in good condition than otherwise.
II your horse does not masticate his
oats, put handful Of dent corn in and
mix it through. He will not swallow
the corn whole and will then chew it all.
Horse buyers everywhere report that
good drivers are getting scarce. There
are whole sections Of country where
good driving horse cannot be found.
Do not neglect the hour or two In
the paddock for every horse that is not
used regularly. Pull the shoes off the
unused horses and groom them every
day.
If horse fall on an icy road where no
ashes or sand are at hand to roughen
the surface and enable him to rise,
spread the horse blanket where he can
get his feet on it.
Give the idle horses wheat bran. 1t
will keep them in much better condition
than to winter them upon hay alone.
1t will cost no more. Never stuff q
horse or colt with hay.
A sole leather hoof pad has been in
vented to keep horses from slipping on
icy roads or smooth pavements, and
which also keeps the snow from ball
ing" in the hollow of the foot, or stones
from jamming there. 1t is easily re-
moved for cleaning or when not needed.

Wounds Received While Putting
in a Cane Trolley.

HONOLULU, i June 13.-Herbert w.
Dickey, an overseer on the Haiku Maui
plantation, met with a frightful accident
on the 7th inst. and did not recover from
his injuries The Haiku Sugar Company's s
new cane trolley had just been completed
and was being put to use that day. The
end of the wire cable was anchored to
two pieces of exc scantling, six feet long,
laid about two feet deep, upon which was
a strain of over four tons, being the ten
sion of about a half mile of the cable.
Herbert Dickey had charge Of the Kalu-
anui part of the plantation and was there
with H. A Baldwin, the manager, to see
that all went well. About II o'clock he
was sitting on some cane trash. with Mr.
Baldwin standing beside him. about fit
teen feet from the anchor braces. while
some Portuguese were trying to draw the
cable little tighter. Suddenly some one
cried Look out!" the earth gave way
and one of the beams flew out of it's
trench and struck Herbert Dickey square
in the face, crushing it in a frightful
manner and knocking him senseless.
The young man fingered for ten hours
and then died. He was but "a years of
age and was born in this country.

SCHEME TO CRUSH AMERICAN
COMPETITION.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VICTORIA. b. c., June 20.-News was
received here to-day that the seizure of
the river steamer Kilburne by the North
western police reported by those who ar
rived on the steamer Tees was but the
preliminary step to a far greater seizure.
The whole fleet of the Upper Yukon Navi-
cation Company is to be seized-three
launches and nine river steamers. The
charge on which the Kilburne was ar
rested was that she was carrying pas
sengers without being licensed. The
cause given for the seizure of the other
vessels which are to be taken at the in
stance of the Canadian customs by the
police, is that they are plying without
being registered and moreover. are con-
traband as they are American vessels
and no duty has been paid on them.
According to the story told by some of
those in the Yukon transportation busi-
ness. there is something behind the pro-
jected seizure of the Upper Yukon Com
pany's fleet. AS will be remembered, il
was this company that initiated the rate
war which brought the inbound fare down
considerably. and If the stories which are
common talk at Bennett are to be believed
the hand of the customs authorities is
being put forward at the instance of the
big Canadian transportation lines. who
fear the rivalry of the American-owned
line.
The Upper Yukon Navigation Company
Kilburne. 1t cut the rates from 800 to
s65 and started the rate war which re-
suited in the establishment of the ridic-
ulously low rate of SO to Dawson by the
Canadian Development Company. The
rates were afterward raised by combi-
nation of several lines but the Upper
Yukon Company stayed out of the COM
bination and threatened to again precipii-
tate rate war. To avert this, 1t Is al
legged. the customs people have been in
duced to seize the steamers.
