Money in Raising Mules.

If the farmers of Bear Lake county
only knew it, raising mules would be
one of the most profitable pursuits in
which they could engage, said one of
our prosperous farmers to the Examiner
scribe the other day. mules mature
earlier than horses" he said, land
hence are marketable sooner. Then.
mules are steadily increasing in value.
The reports show that in 1904 the gov
eminent paid an average price of $3.50. So
per head for the mules it bought
The gentleman showed us news
paper report of sale of pair of mules
in Chicago few weeks ago for 500.
These mules were from Norman mares
weighing 100 each and were sired by a
jack barely Is hands high.
Some of the advantages in raising
mules are thus set forth by writer in
an eastern agricultural paper:
Mule colts meet with fewer accidents
than horse colts; they instinctively avoid
holes and dangerous places; they have,
ordinarily, few if any. blemishes when
mature and their value is not decreased
by blemishes to the same extent as
horses. AS compared with the horse
when grown, mules can stand more
hardship than horses can; they can
stand heat better, and do not sweat as
easily; they eat less than horses. con-
Stunning on an average only one-half as
much grain while doing the same work:
they can masticate rougher food; in the
absence of hay | have known them TO
thrive on the material furnished for
their bedding. The demand for mules
is constantly increasing. The opening
up OF the Panama Canal will REQUIRE
thousands of mules; the drifting of
capitalists into the territories ACQUIRED
by the Spanish-American war has re- i,
suited in the starting of large sugar
plantations and tobacco tracts. Mules
can thrive in these islands, whereas
horses cannot stand the climate. Ten
million dollars has been left in the
United States lately by European Gov
ernments for army mules, Great Pritian
taxing the largest number.

He was party in the first part by breaking the law by creating a reign of terror on the end of Clay Street that made the deeds of Robespiere fade into insig- nificance. The final act in the strenuous expe- rience of George Meadows came yes- terday afternoon when he was fined $35 in two cases by Recorder Airing ton. The name of Meadows, wken asso- ciated with deeds of daring seems paradoxical. Meadows remind one of peaceful kine grazing on a green pas lures in the soft springtime. But George Meadows proved that there Is nothing in a name.
 He was up early Sunday morning and he discovered a place in Mont gomery where liquor is retailed. from side door. After obtaining a pletho- ra of poison. he imagined that he was related to Wild Bill Hickock and Dead wood Dick. He feared no officers of the law. for he had heard that Bat Masterson is now a deputy United States Marshal in the great city of New York.
 Thereupon George Meadows decided to do awful things.
 Equipping himself with sufficient artillery to take Port Arthur, he made an attack on the residence of Lucy Thomas, his enamorado on Clay Street. Lucy Thomas did not take kindly to the attentions of George Meadows and
