station house. If you don't the poor
| brute win languish in the small shack
the associate of all manner of dogs
and ours for three days, when the exc
cution takes place. And that execu-
ton is a crying shame.
1t is a heartless butchery, needless
| and not in accord with the methods
employed by cities on the mainland to
dispose of unlicensed beasts for there
the dogs are placed in air boxes and
are killed with charcoal gas
The shack is a miserable affair. 1t
is partitioned off into four sections,
the sides being boarded in, with
cracks between, and the top is made
of Stats three inches apart The en-
trance to the rooms is on the roof.
When new dog is brought to the
shack. he is dropped into one parti-
tfon. The next day he is shunted into
another room. and the third day to a
third room. the other rooms filling up
all the time with new arrivals. The
third day is his last and the execution
then takes place. The executioner
goes to the top of the shack armed
with a revolver. Trusting the re-
volver down between the Stats he fires.
The shot may hit a dog in the leg
whereupon the brute yelps and careens
about the place mad with pain and
fear The revolver is fired again and
may catch another dog in the head,
or the shoulder or tail The execution
goes on merrily and there is lots of
fun making targets out of the yelping.

be dozen dogs in the pen. and the.

may be hit half dozen times before
he is finally killed. 1t is a cruel, heart
less way to get rid of somebody's pet.
One may believe his dog is at a neigh
boris place little dreaming that the
animal is being brutally killed
On execution days there is a good
sized crowd of Hawaiians waiting
about the shack for they purchase the
carcasses for home-consumption. A
nice little fox terrier is highly priced.
He is more palatable than the big dogs,
and the shortness of his hair is also
a point in his favor. A NANCY dog is
not SO desirable, for he is likely to be
more or less tainted when put in the
pot to boil. But it's very few dead
dogs that are not sold by the man who
guards the pound. That is his special
fee.

Goose Envlous Of Hen. Fame


When the news reached here that
an ambitious hen up in New Hamp-
shire had laid an egg that measured
eight and one-half inches in circum-
ference all the poultry in the neigh
borhood got busy to beat the record.
Up to date only one notable
achievement has been reported. That
comes from Preston D. Whites brown
African goose. which. 1t seems, enter
ed the contest, though it did not be-
long to the chicken class.
Mr.. White brought the result to
town today, and II Is the biggest egg
ever seen In North Attleboro. 1t is
eleven and seven-eighths inches
around the longest circumference and
ten inches around the shortest. The
egg weighs thirteen ounces.
The goose began its laying career
in January. 1903. and the mammoth
egg was the ninety-ninth to her
credit. She is two and a half feet
high, measures Ave feet eight inches
from tip to tip. and weighs nineteen
pounds.

WHEN TO WATER HORSES.

This is disputed question. but the
best authorities seem to agree that
horses should be watered before and
after feeding. 1t is Just possible that
watering before feeding, unless the
animals are accustomed to 1t, results
in consumption of smaller amount
of feed However, this is corrected
after short time. Experiments have
been made to determine the compara-
tive advantages Of watering before
and after, but none Of them are very
definite.

Another Moa's Egg found.

A moa's egg has been found in q
mining district In Central Otago. New
Zealand.
There was a fall Of earth in a
dredging claim and presently the
huge egg was seen floating uninjured
in the water The discovery Is the
more interesting from the fact that 1t
is the second perfect moa's egg that
has ever been found.
The only other perfect specimen
was unearthed by man while dig
ging in the alluvial soil at the Kai-
koura mountains in the early COS.
This egg. which was nine inches in
length and seven inches In breadth,
was taken to England and sold for
$500.
Some idea of the size of these eggs
may be cleaned from the fact that
a mans hat makes an excellent egg
cup for them.-New York Herald.

Portland, April 24.-The Telegram
says:
Portland commercial bodies are un-
animous in support of any enterprise

Chamber of commerce and board OF

both meen making Investigations of
projects for new railroads or branches
of the present lines to tap sections OF

the Colunbia. to Cello, for that pro-
jected road which the people OF Idaho
propose shall be constructed without
delay would bring into immediate pro-
duction of wheat and other products
Of the SOIL an immense area capable
Of maintaining large population.
Views OF representatives of the va
rieus commercial organizations were

the unanimity of these leaders in COM
mending any transportation enterprise
that will develop new territory and in
crease the population of the country
with resultant commercial growth to
Portland.
Portland should give emphatic ap-
proval to transportation enterprises
calculated to increase production and
create commerce. said Secretary J. ID.
Lee of the board of trade. This Ida
ho enterprise would connect Portland
with a very fertile district that for
many years would continue to improve.
