RIO GRANDE RAILROAD.
/ULY FOURTH

On September p, IVA, more
than a century and a quarter ago,
a number of gentlemen represent
ing the several colonies of North
America, met at Carpenter hall
in Philadelphia for the purpose OF
discussing certain grievances suf-
fered at the hands of the mother
country. Nearly two years later,
or on July 2,1766, it was further
resolved that these united colonies
are, and of right ought to be, free
and independent states, etc. Two
days later on July 4, 1910, the de-
claration was read and since then
the 4th of July has been a nation
al holiday, in commemoration OF
the great event which marked the
freedom of this nation.
In celebration of this day divers
methods are employed, none OF
which Brownsville has adopted to-
day. Old Glory proudly waves
from a majority of the business
places. and it is a source of con-
siderable inspiration to have its
fiuttering folds envelop you as the
streets of our city are traversed.
The small boy with his fireworks
is wont to take possession today,
and he pursues the even tenor OF
his celebrating with no one to
modest or make him afraid
Patriotism is not dead in Browns
vile, but It's form has become
changed, aud instead of demon
strative and vociierous celebration,
our people in a quiet way do honor
to day made memorable by the
qrandest event in the annals of
these United States.
Some OF our exchanges, with
iconoclastic theories, have tried TO
upset the regular order OF things
by suggesting that the 2nd Of July
should be the proper day OF oele-
bration. T1F HERALD is not dis
posed TO take stock in any innova-
ton that would tend TO disrupt the
regular and recognized order OF
things. and prefers TO allow thc old

The article published elsewhere
in this issue from the Idaho Falls
Register relative to the manner of
assessing property in this state,
places that important question be-
fore the people about right. AS the
Register states, the reason the
assessed valuation of the several
counties is held back is because each
county is trying to avoid paying
any more of the state tax than can
be helped. There ought to be some
method of remedying this, and the
sooner it is done the better oft the
state will be. A high valuation and
low tax levy is more preferable and
would afford greater attraction to
outsiders than does the low valua-
tion and high levy that prevails.

of 8 and 1s years, shall in any court

guilty of any felony except murder
or manslaughter, the court or Judge
may, if in his opinion the accused
is proper subject therefor, instead
of entering judgment, cause an order
to be entered for such boy or girl to
be sent to the Idaho industrial train :
ing school," Now if that isn't the |
greatest piece Of freak legislation
ever enacted by an Idaho legislature
we would be pleased TO haye some
one refer us to the particular act
that beats it. Under the law as
passed by the Seventh session, a
child charged with 'smisdemeanor
or with vagrancy or incorigibility,"
could be sent to the industrial
school. But the section containing
that provision was repealed by the
last legislature and the section aboye
quoted enacted in It's stead. AS we
always supposed, reform or indus
trial schools were founded especial
ly for boys and girls who were
known to be merely incorlgible.
But now they must not only be IN
corigible but must be young Grim
inals besides. It often happens that
boy or girl is of such disposition
as to be beyond the control of the
parents or guardians, but that boy
girl would never think of commit
ting burglary or some other CRIME
within the meaning of the word
felony. However, if not checked
in their youth, it is safe to say that
such a boy will land in the peniten-
tiary and the girl will bring further
disgrace upon herself. Bnt now,
no matter how great desire a parent
OF guardian may have to place an
incorlgible boy or girl in the indus
trial school, that desire cannot be
consummated until the child com
mits CRIME, is arrested and placed
in Jail. But further criticism of the
law is useless-it is OH the statutes
and must stand as glaring example
of the insane.like acts often com
mitted by our Legislators. 1t is to
be hoped, however, that the next
Legislature will repeal the law and
in it's place enact one that has some
semblance of horse-sense to it

HIS SOLDIERS MUST SING.
Edict from Kaiser Commands That
Defender Must Lift Up Voice
in Tuneful Notes.

1t is now commanded by En-
peror William II. that the
German soldier, in addition to his
many other duties, shall, while
marching, lift up his voice and
sing. With surprise and sorrow
his majesty has found in going
over the old time-honored marches
that these had, for the most part,
mot suitable texts" and in hot
haste two poets of Berlin and Mu
mich respectively have put their
heads together and produced a lit
tie "hand-book of easily remem
bered marching songs" with the
caroling of which Hans, Hermann
and Fritz will in the future be-
guile their steady tramp, tramp,
tramp.
By the way, has not the foreign
er sometimes been puzzled as to
why a German marching regiment
will on occasion suddenly and with
one accord start stamping? The
"stamp" of all the rank and file
follows on a sharply given order
to Salute" some passing officer,
and the "salute" when on the
; march is given with the feet!

POTALA: A SACRED PALACE
Edifice of High Priest Photographed
for the First Time Re-
Gently.

Potala, or the sacred place of
the dalai lama, the high priest Of
the Thibetans, was photographed
for the first time when the mem
bers of the British Thibetan expe-
dition reached Lhasa, the sacred
forbidden city in the center Of
Thibet, says the Metropolitan
Magazine. Col. Younghusband,
who was in charge of the c--1e5i-
ton, would permit no attempt by
the correspondents to violate the
sanctity of the various sacred
buildings, but splendid views of
the exterior were obtained, and
the world is richer by authentic
descriptions of this wonderful pal
ace, which is described in the dis
patch of the London Times CORE
spondent. Over a city set as a
jewel, amid green gardens,
through which crystal streams
flowed, lowered the giant Potala,
rising almost from the ground in
gigantic stretches of white ma
| sonry, pierced with intermingable
| rows of windows, and scaled by
| great, red-edged, zig-zag stair
ways, 20 feet wide. Above these
a white mass ascended at either
end in the shape of heavily ter
raced palace, inclosing maroon
mass, the main building. Above
this again were golden roofs of a
Chinese pattern, the whole struc
| ture, 43O feet high and between
800 and 900 feet long, completely
dominating the city of Lhasa
which was separated from tht
palace by wide stretches of tur1
and beautiful plantation full o.
forest trees.

BISON FlERcEsT OF CATTLE
All of a Hunters Skill and Nerve Is
Needed When Tackling Such
Big Game.

Called bison Incorrectly in In
dia, seladang in Malaga, slang in
Burma, and gnudang in Siam, the
gaur Bos gaurus) is the largest
and fiercest of all wild cattle, with
hoofs small in proportion to its
height, and of deerlike, rather
than oxlike, character, says Out
ing. It's sense of smell is as acute
as that of the elephant and it's
vision much keener. When you
seek one of these cattle you need
all your hunters skill and your
nerve, for, next to the elephant
and bracketed with the Cape buf-
falo of Africa, l believe it's natural
temperament and the character OF
the country in which it is found
make the seladang in the Malay
peninsula the most formidable
quarry on earth. In India, where
the range of the gaur is the hilly,
wooded districts, they are more
apt to be found in herds of some
size, and, because of the more dan
gerous sections, less difficult of ap-
proach, and less dangerous to the
hunter than in the Malay PENN
sula, where the jungle is the
densest that grows, and almost
invariably the quarry has the man
at disadvantage. In Malay it is
snap shooting, where the game, on
being wounded, turns hunter, and
concealed, awaits the sportsman
who must approach with infinite
caution, with senses always alert
and hand ever ready if he would
| stop or turn aside the vicious
charge. You may never in this
jungle survey the field of opera
tions from some vantage point
but in the close growing angle O.
vines, and canes, and thorn bush
es, and heavy coarse weed O
grass-like mass-through whicl
you can never get even dim sigh
for over 20 yards and most of tn,
time can scarcely see that man,
feet ahead-you must follow tn,
tracks of the seladang you hav'
wounded, never knowing at wha
instant the maddened beast ma
burst from the jungle practicall,
right on top Of you. One seladan:
; | was fortunate enough to fnall
get was only just at the other sid
. of a bamboo clump when he start
ed his charge full at me. This
the dangerous and the unavoiC
able feature of hunting the beas
in Malay. Luckily for the hunter
the seladang, if unsuccessful in it
charge, passes on to await him a
n. another point. Never have hear
of one turning instantly to Sc,
ond charge after missing tn
hunter on the first rush. But, o
C. the other hand, if the seladan
se charges home it remains to gore
