There is no question but that the
laws of this state are not in all re-
spects up to date in reference to
live stock interests.
1t is true the open range is, in
most parts of the state, a thing of
the past, having given place to fenced
pastures, wheat fields and in some
places to irrigated alfalfa meadows,
but there is yet in Okanogan, Doug
las and other counties in central
Washington certain range areas not
susceptible of being fenced, that must
always be chiefly valuable for graz
ing and it is not wise to assume that
this once most important industry in
this state is soon to be done away
with and that it's wants are not en-
titled to reasonable and necessary
legislation.
The live stock industry in Wash
ington is just now in a transition
state. Especially is this true in ref
erence to cattle. Restricted ranges
seem to be forcing the sale of many
small punches and the lower the
price goes, the more anxious the peo-
pie seem to get rid of their cattle.
But with the increasing area going
into alfalfa amounting to many thou
sands acres each year in the Yakima
valley alone, and with the prospect of
100000 acres of arid land to be irri-
gated in Franklin and Adams coun-
ties by the Government enterprise,
and nearly 1901 900 acres in Yakima
County by the extension of the pres
ent Sunnyside canal now practically
assured, and the watering of another
100000 acres of sage brush land on
The Yakima Indian Reservation by
an extension of the system already in
operation there, besides the numer-
GUS small enterprises from the Ore
gon line to British Columbia, it will
not be long until all classes of live
STOCK and especially cattle, will be
lea and pastured on alfalfa fields
from to II months each year, de-
pending on amount of adjacent range.
:, 10 supply the demand for feeders,
the ranges of this state will be taxed
70 their utmost capacity and then not
NC able to meet the requirements.
hence the prospects are for a re-
ylVal of interest in the live stock
BUSINESS throughout the state, for the
great benefit of all sections and of
Tie entire population.
therefore, if our laws can be
amended so as to aid in this devel-
ttpment, it is no small or trivial mat
a. ter and may well engage the atten-
NUn of the State Legislature.
a. me first question is: "Who will
attend tc these matters?"

Needed legislation for the Live Stock Interests
By f: Benson Preside stateLi stockA
Mt State Live Stock Association

with instructions to put our ideas
into proper form and have them pre-
sented to the Legislature.
What then are our needs at this
time?
1st. A state brand law-instead of
a county brand law as at present.
If our counties were separated by
impossible rivers or mountains, the
present system would not be so bad,
but what line separates the counties
of Douglas, Lincoln, Adams, Frank
lin, Whitman and Spokane? They are
all one common range so far as like
lihood of stock intermingling is con-
cerned, and the same is true of most
other counties of the state
Brands are almost worthless as a
means of identifying stock as long as
different persons in as many differ
ent counties have the same brand on
the part of the animal duly recorded,
and the cattle or horses intermix on
a common range which embraces the
several counties.
Under the present system, if ones
cattle stray away or are driven off
his range accidentally or purposely,
and get picked up and shipped there
brands because in the SO counties the
same brand might be owned by over
three men, hence no one would ever
even attempt to look up the matter
while if there were only one brand
in the state for each cattle man it
would be comparatively easy to have
an officer watch at all important
slaughtering places for stray stock.
Is it necessary to go further into
details describing losses incident to
our present practice and to point out
how and why it aids, or rather Gre
ates thieves, by placing temptations
in the way of young fellows who
haven't developed those traits of
character that cause a man to be
satisfied with what is his own?
Our leading grazing states-Mon-
tana, Wyoming, Colorado, and others
now have state brand laws, having
made the changes from a county rec
ord system, and the wisdom gained
by their experiences should be prof
liable to us.
This brief talk is not intended to
go into details, but if it is decided
to act along this line, it is probable
the committee will find the Mon
tana laws applicable to our situation
with little or no change as they are
reputed to be the best of any state
and certainly give universal satisfac-
ton in that state.
very small tax is levied on the

Certainly, if the State Live Stock
Association does not do so, it has
no right to expect any individual to
undertake the work.
1t is especially the function of this
association to attend to such matters
and its request would doubtless re-
ceive much more consideration than

If ii shall be decided to ask for
some changes or additions to the

ing our interests, it would seem the
proper course to either appoint a
special committee or else refer the
matter to the executive committee,

 From time to time the open-minded observer will see flashes of the resent ments of forty years ago. but they are merely f1tful gleams that serve only to illumine phases of chronicle rather than 10 dit AhSNSAAh6
 ment in his own heart. They come from the aged who were identihed with the social and political life of the Con- federacy rather than with its military operations. The venerable grande dame who was an arbiter in the fash ionable entourage of Montgomery or of Richmond when they were capital cities stands for the type that finds 1t hardest to forgive the issue of the war. Placidly, with hands folded upon their black silk laps. they say: What is the Lords will is right and so the defeat of the South must have been right--but it is hard to see 1t so." These are the fascinating sidelfghts the venerable ladies can give you, and when you tell them that you are the grandson of an abolitionist and the son of Northern soldier they answer with a little quaver: But if you had sprung from Southern stock you would have been of our cause. It was the South. our South, that we suffered for more than for measures of state"
 And so it is to this day. The young CT generation of Southerners Is not cherishing the memories of the war with anything like the devotion 1t is lavishing on the South of the present. Tn that devotion it differs from us. Our pride Is in the victories of our fathers; theirs is passionate love of the home land, and beyond that land it has only a vague horizon and slight interest.

A song by the glee club was followed by the Ivy oration by Whitcombfeld, of Milton. The senior president then presented a banner to the freshmen.

 We are having a blue season, in spite of the fact that it started out to be a green summer. Of course speak from the dressmaker's point of view. The craze for Alice blue has yet to reach the turning point. and really I hope that 1t won't be run into the ground for many months yet. It is such charming color, becoming alike to blonds and brunettes. It has the great advantage, too. in linens. pom gees and wash goods. of retaining its color much better than the paler shades. If you feel doubtful about a whole costume of this shade. why not use touch of 1t on pongee coat or. better still. on white linen suit?

nnenwnrIx Hata.


 "white straw burns so!' is the cry of the woman who likes white hats. but feels she must deny herself the luxury.
 Why don't you buy a hat of button hole work or Irish lace, my dear mad am, or, for the matter of that, why don't you make yourself one? US easy enough, and nothing can De smarter in summer millinery. Select any style of frame that suits your race (although a French sailor or baby shane is most suitable,) then buy yard ot yard and a half of all over imitation English embroidery or, Tor the matter of that, any prettiiy de- signed white material with raised figure or openwork effect. You lay this material on the frame and cut It to fit. The edge of the brim you fin- ish off with three rows of valenciennes lace.
 Another useful white hat for more dressy occasions is made of tiny ruff fIes of valenciennes on wire framc which tilts up very suddenly in the back and is perfectly flat in front. The sole trimming for this sort Of chaneau is an Alsatain bow of soft rib bon. This may be pinned on and changed to suit the costume, which IS a great economy. This hat is particu- iarIv good with those dainty whitc gowns worn over pink or pale blue slips.
 The girl who has not much money to xnend should certainy invest in white gowns and vary them with touches of color. The alluring pink or even pale blue dress is adorable while 1t lasts. but 1t fades, it won't wash well. and every time 1t comes back from the cleaners it is a different tone. A white dress is good as long as the threads hold together, and you can al- ter it from year to year. which Is an other consideration. T-
