tary annals. Kuropatkin, under whose
eye the assault was made, rechristened

ian rife division and who was subse-
quently decorated on the field with St.
Georges cross The hill is precipit-
Gus rocky height and although the
Japanese had Occupied 1t only a short
time they had thrown up very strong
defenses. The river running at it's
foot increased the difficulty of the task
but it, was scaled and carried success
fully against the unprecedented oppo-
sition of the Japanese division with
14,C00 men and many guns. The Rus
sian loses in the terrible fighting on
the crest Of the hill was altogether
with cold steel. The Russian officers
with swords aloft leading the scaling
column were literally lifted in the all
by the Japanese bayonets. The Jap,
anese then bayoneted the first Russian
Eoldiers who piled in the trenches. All
the dead in the trenches were bayo
neted, their weapons bearing the
marks of the dreadful combat.

receive the proper recognition at the
hands of the state legislature and also
to prevent any inimical legislation
which may be proposed by those who
do not understand what is needed. The
National Live Stock Association was
organized principally and solely to look
after national affairs and Transports
ton matters. The success of the ma
tional association has been demon
strated during this year, following the
resolution which was adopted at the
Portland convention instructing the
president to appoint committee to
confer with the traffic managers of the
transcontinental lines at Chicago with
a view of having the tonnage system
in transporting live stock abolished
better time in transportation and res
toration of the return pass to shippers
Last year, under the old rule, railways
were making not to exceed six and
seven miles an hour with trainlOads OF
stock, and on January 1 of the present
year an order went into effect com
polling the shipper to buy his own re
turn ticket A conference of the asso
cations committee with the railway
officials was held in Chicago in Feb
ruary, and, as a result, everything
asked for by the stOckmen was grant
ed The adjustment of the tonnage
system and the return of the pass will
save to the Washington Stock-grOwers
at least quarter of million dollars
annually and to every other state and
territory in transportation.
The national association also held
meeting in Denver in August, at
which delegates from it's membership
in every state and territory in the west
were in attendance, as well as the
federal land commission, with a view
of arriving at some understanding as
to the best method in which to settle
the question of grazing on government
lands and also to have the bureau OF
forestry from the depa rtment of the
interior transferred to the agricultural
departing The meeting was very
successful and adopted resolutions
which no doubt President Roosevelt
will endorse and recommend in his
message to the next session of con
gress.
There are great many other things
which the national association has
done, regarding which space in this
issue will not permit us to go into de
tails. The assessment which the stock
men are called upon to pay to support
the national association will not
amount to more than or cents on
every bovine animal and possibly hall
or one-third as much for every sheep
they own. This is too insignificant tc
require any argument in support of. II
is more in the way of insurance upon
the stock itself, the same as would be
an insurance paid upon business con
Quoted in some state.
1t should be the resolve of every live
stock owner in this state to attend
without fail, the annual meeting of the
Washington Live Stock Association
which is to be held in Spokane some
time in December, full announcement
of which will appear in this paper
and doubtless through the state press
generally. If by getting together and
discussing the important questions OF
local and general interest some i'm
provement may result, it is certainly
worth while to take that much interest
in business which has such possibili
ties ahead of it under normal con
ditions.
