The City Pound and
The Farmers Cattle.

The Enterprise has had occas-
ion heretofore, frequently to re-
fer to the administration of the
pound. We heartily approve
the pound ordinance and it's adj
ministration has been above criti-
cism, except in the matter of al
lowing irresponsible boys to
drive in cattle for fee.
There is no doubt of the fact
that some of these boys are so
eager for business that they have
often gone far beyond the city
limits to hunt the browsing
herds of CATTLE belonging to
neigh boring farmers. The writ
er and the city administration
has discouraged this practice
and warned these little rascals
against the ofense, but some of
them, at least, are tough cases,
have been guilty of worse crimes
and cannot be relied on.
Probably the only way to eff
fectually overcome the difficulty
IS to do away with the rule of
paying these boys, or paying any
fee to anybody except a police
man on duty.
While we admit that our limit
ed police force has about all il
can look after, there is so little
impounding to do that for the fee
we believe that they can attend
to the pound without the assist
ance of outsiders. Parties inter
ested could easily afford to phone
the city hall of the presence of
any straying stock.
We merely make this sugges-
ton here for the reason that it
seems impossible to prevent
these boys hunting business
outside the city at the expense
and the evaporation of far m e S
near this CITY.

The Panama Canal Commits
sioners are now asking pertinent
questions concerning the most
important project before the
civilized world. Here is a poser
for all Americans who have no,
heard of it before. "How far
east of the city of Panama, on
the Pacific, is the city of Colon,
on the Caribbean" The usua'
answer is, About forty miles"
or the length of the canal, which
is just forty-two miles wrong
Colon being two miles west O.
Panama instead of forty miles
east. Question No. 2: What i,
the general direction of the ca,

and West" which is precisely
wrong, as it is North and South

Drop Big Shells in the Harbor.

Meanwhile the Japanese siege guns
continued to drop big shells in the
harbor, the Japanese claiming that
they damaged the Russian g!lnboat
Giliak, which is alleged to have been
hit three times and to have changed
her anchorage from the east basin to
the shelter OF Tiger hill. It is also be-
lieved that the funnel of another Rus
sian warship was pierced, as dense
cloud of smoke followed the landing
of a shell on board of her. -.
A Chinaman who arrived here dur
ing the day declares that during the
Japanese assault on Rihlung mountain
the Russian battleships fired almost
necessarily to the north. 49,.
The Japanese at Taku mountain
have dropped ceaseless storm of
shells on the Chinese town and many
rife bullets also fell into the place.
The Chinaman adds that the fighting
was very severe and that the Japanese
loss was considerable. He says he
left Port Arthur Oct. IS because he
was frightened by the shells. -.
1t is asserted that the Russian force
at Port Arthur now numbers 5000
men, excluding the militia, which is
not engaged in the fighting but patrols
the streets, doing provost duty ana
guards the arsenals, etc.
Winter clothing is very scarce at
Port Arthur, shoes particularly. The
Russian soldiers are wearing Chinese
shoes and some of them are unable to
obtain even these and wrapfrags about
their feet.

clubs, we undertake as our work dur :
ing the coming year to double the num-
Der of our clubs and club women Not
for the sake of charging and strength
ening our State Federation although
that will follow as naturally as the day
follows the night, but for the ameliora
ton of the life of women in the prairie
towns of our young state.
Miss Evans, in an address before the
Minnesota Federation some years ago,
said that The rapid growth of wom-
ems organizations showed that the ser
pent of isolation and separation was
being dubbed to death" On our own
vast prairies, with their magnificent dis
tances, we certainly have this same ser
pent of isolation and separation in its
most aggravated form Let us Club
to Death"
These clubs may be organized any
where, in city, town or country, and
for any purpose in accord with the OBJ
jects of our Federation, and our con-
stitution is as broad in this respect as
the proverbial mantle of charity, and
adapted to any organization for &C
quaintance, mutual helpfulness and the
promotion of higher intellectual, social
or moral conditions.
And now let us for few moments,
for our own benefit as we'll as for the
benefit of our officers, and especially
our district vice presidents who prac-
tically constitute our committee on
club extension, review the benefits
which have come to us as individuals
through our club organizations.

JAPANESE MAKE SOME GAINS
Are Now Within Five Hundred Yards of the
Main Fortress at Port Arthur and Gar.
rison Nearly Worn Out.

Chefoo. Oct. 21.-The important re-
cent events at Port Arthur include the
capture by the Japanese of further
minor positions near Rihlung noun
tain and the severe damage of a Japa-
nese torpedo boat destroyer by strik-
ing floating mine.
According to Chinese advices which
reached here during the day and which
are confirmed in essential points by
Japanese letters from Port Dalny the
Japanese made assaults on the remain
at dawn Oct. 8 and were repulsed.
The following day the Russians made
an attack on the Japanese trenches
and they in turn were repulsed. The
Japanese Immediately followed with
another assault, resulting in the cap
ture of an iron railroad bridge and the
heights south of the bridge. which is
500 yards from the main fortress.
The Importance of these captures
lies in the fact that they curtail the
Russian fire in harrassing Japanese
who may attempt to advance on the
trenches located on the slope Of Rib
lung mountain. This attack seems to
have been surprise for the Russians,
the Japanese claiming that they lost
only fifty men. Since the capture of
the points mentioned the Japanese as.
sert that they have successfully resist
ed numerous sorties in attempts to re-
capture them.
At 10 o'clock on the morning of Oct
IL seven Russian torpedo boat destroy
ers emerged from the harbor of Port
Arthur and later they were followed
by two more destroyers. This squad
ron proceeded to Shaohingtau and
bombarded the Japanese left flank
-Four Japanese torpedo boat destroyers
hurried to the scene and the Russians
retired to the harbor, followed by the
japanese. The pursuit ceased upor
