svnplylno Polo Ponies.

The business of supplying polo
monies to the crack clubs of the big
cities has grown to such an extent
in Colorado that contractors now
make fancy terms every year furnish
ing trained animals to the wealthy
patrons of the sport Of late years
there has been an attempt to raise the
standard of polo ponies as to blood
Excellent results have been achieved,
and it is claimed that a well-bred
pony raised in the Rocky mountains
and allowed to run until 2 years Old
cannot be excelled for polo purposes
Another good class is the bronco that
has been trained to cattle work. A
bronco of this sort is used to picking
certain cattle from a herd and to
obeying almost every thought OF his
rider. This training is invaluable to
the polo field, where a pony must act
largely of his own accord. Conse'
uuently many a cowboy, tempted by
a good offer, has parted with the alert
little bronco that has spent his early
years nosing out cattle or in partici.
pating in the excitements of the
roundup, wins the applause of con
noisseurs at many a wel-fought field
battle.
Some Of the polo ponies from the
Western range have been sent to In.
dia, says Outdoors, and others have
gone to some of the wealthy English
club men at Asiatic stations. They
rarely break down except from age
and seem to be good for many years
of hard polo work in any climate.
Their good records Of sports is a fine
tribute to the quality and staying
powers of American horses.

Of the s. P. Co., Of encouraging West

RUpELY oVERTHRoWN, AND
THEIR GOOD WORK LARGELY UN'
DONE,
The broad question arises, what are
the railroads for. but TO handle the
traffic Of the people, TO serve the wants
and needs OF the masses? When they
are run on any other theory they are
run at financial loss and ruin Of
business.
In Iowa distance tariff was enacted
with suitable terminal charges for the
handling and use Of cars The rail.
road managers rebelled at the propo-
sltlon, and WHEN IT WENT INTO
EFFECT TRAFFIC WAS DOUBLED
AND EARNINGS INCREASED.
The Iowa railroads. under laws TO
protect the Iowa people against dis.
elimination and to secure reasonable
rates Of transportation have made the
railroads prosperous in that state, and
their stockholders are insured good
dividends.
The fight In Western Oregon for
reasonable car service to shippers
and rates under which industries can
live cannot be smothered by a few
big newspapers keeping still and few
railroad politicians saying that every.
thing Is all right.
The fight Is a fight in the real inter.
est OF the railroad property Itself. and
AGAINST HAVING POLICIES
ADOPTED THAT WILL MAKE THE
FARMERS AND MANAGERS OF IN.
DUsTRlEs AND THEIR EMPLOYEES
PERMANENTLY HOSTILE to all
transportation corporations.
The demagog will flourish under
