STRIKING HORSE STATISTICS
(Albany Herald)

(Albany Herald)
The horse is always about to be, but
never is, put out of business. On the
appearance Of every new agency of
transportation the announcement is
solemnly made that the horse. after
passing through an era of decreasing
prices, will cease and determine. 1t
was so when railroads began to gain
headway; when bicycles came into
use. when the electric ears commenced
to buzz along the highways, when the
auto developed into something more
than a curiosity, and yet here the
horse is still with us, and more valu.
able than ever. Statistics submitted
to the house of representatives in con
neetion with the agricultural appro
priation bill show that there has been
a notable increase both in number and
value of horses in the United States
In the last nine years. The aggregate
of horses January l, 1906, stood at
ffAof'acs akAAHcN lfsootsOOl AT the
corresponding date of 1897. Their total
value increased from s452, ,649, 1896 in
1897 to $l,5lO,sss9, 900.
The startling rate of increase in
value is no more marked than that OF
mules, according TO the same govern.
ment authorities. There were 2,eI5,.
6S4 mules in 1897 and 3,4O4,O6l in
1906, and the values were respectively
s9s, sos, 900 and 1894 $780, 500. II these
figures are trustworthy there must
have been some improvement in quail.
ity as well as noteworthy increase in
numbers in the nine years to account
for all the difference. Accuracy in
numbers is more easily attainable than
accuracy in valuation. An enumeration
is not a difficult task, whether it deals
with human beings or valuable ami.
mails, but the asceTtainment II indi.
vidual wealth. or the valuation Of
property is process fraught with
&ftieulties.

FIRST DISMISSAL is ORDERED.
Secretary Approves Sentence In
The Case Of Midship
man Coffin.

The dismissal from the Naval Acad-
envy Of Midshipman Trenmor Coffin.
who was convicted of hazing, has been
ordered by Secretary Bonaparte, who
approved the sentence imposed by
court-martial Midshipman Coffin is
the first midshipman to be dismissed
as the result of the hazing inyestiga-
ion now in progress at the Naval
! Academy. In memorandum Jon the
case Secretary Bonaparte says:
The finding of the court has been
approved by the Superintendent of
the United States Naval Academy. 1t
will appear. from an examination of
the. statute. that no discretion is vested
in the Department with respect TO
either the finding of the court or its
sentence. The former must be APP
proved by the superintendent, and.
when so approved, is declared to be
final.
The latter is provided for in the
statute itself, and can be varied
neither by the Court nor by the SUI
perinteudent, nor yet by the Depart
ment. There is, however, one ques-
tion arising in this case upon which
the Department must pass. IL the con-
yiction or sentence should involve any
the accused, the latter could not be
executed by the Department, aud il
has been claimed that in this case q
confession of the accused midshipman
was received in evidence in violation
Of the Fifth Amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States.
This question .has been very care
fully considered by the Department,
and the Department finds that the
confession in question was prope ly
received in evidence. 1t appears TO
have been clearly voluntary, as the
term is one defined by courts of the
highest authority, the circumstances
connected with it being analogous to
those existing in Hardy VS.. United
States, 1856 u. S., %.
''In view of this determination Of
the only question which is open TO the
Department for examination in con-
nection with this record and of the
mandatory terms of the act of Con-
gTess under which the proceeds were
taken, the sentence of the court must
be executed by an order Diminishing
the accused from the United States
Naval Academy. The papers are re-
ferred to the Judge Advocate General
to prepare such order.

A NEW AND GROWING COUNTRY
The Northwest Affords Good Op-
portunities To Make
Lots of Money.

TIE Baltimore News of Monday
evening contains the following among
its items of In Hotel Corridors, =
| Mhcih.is an interview of some interest
locally:
Horace CIR ealy's advice, Go West,
young man, still holds good, but ii
is we'll for the young man to know that
he must 60 far .enough West TO find
the country still new and growing.
This is a suggestion by Lieutenant
James K. Abbott, of the Sixth Cayal-
~, which is stationed at Fort Keogh,
q little army post in Montana. which
| was founded soon after the massacre of
| General Custer. Lieutenant Abbott,
who is staying at the Hotel Rennert,
is a native of these parts-his home is
in Annapolis-but since the Spanish
American War he has cast his lot with
the Army and has knocked about the
world until he was finally Stationed at
Fort Keogh, from where he is now
home Oh leave of absence.
For the average young man. who
is willing TO stick lit out. there are
more opportunities right out there in
Montana than in any other State in
the Union, continued the Lieu
tenant "Sheep-raising promies bigger
returns today than it ever has before,
and vast sums of money have been
made out there in a surprisingly short
time ~ young men who have been
willing to tackle the work, and stay
hard at it until they have won ont.
Recently wool which sold at cents a
pound was purchased at % cents. and
there have been equally surprising
jumps right along. OF course, the
man who raises sheep takes his chance
on losing part of them by disease
and rough weather. yet il he spends
year or SO working on q ranch and
learning tie business thoroughly, then
he ought to be able to break In and
make good. Sheep are peculiar ami
mails to raise, and cattlemen don't like
to have them around because they
spoil the feeding grounds for other
stock, but there is big money in rails.
ing them. Thre are times when the
cattlemen resort TO drastic measures to
drive the sheep herders out of the
country, as was recently instanced in
case which is now pending in the
Montana courts.
"a number of sheep owners had
their animals on particularly choice
piece of land which was coveted by a
lot of old cattlemen. These fell ows
sent notice to the sheep owners to
quit that section. The latter natural
ly refused, and the next night the
sheep men were kept peaceably at the
end of a Winchester muzzle while
their pals killed 270. sheep. Five
years ago there would have been a
general shooting, but the matter in
this case was taken quietly into court,
and it looks now as though the cattle
men would have to stand for their
nights fun. OF course. this is one of
the little unforeseen things which
could not be helped except by the
sheep men giving up their stand, but
fellow has every chance to make his
pile, and make it quickly, out there. "

sary.

that not the manufacturer, but the

to any distinguishing mark on furni-

cause they desire to impose on their
customers in the way Of keeping up
the pretense that they make and finish
their own stock Others again are ap-
prehensive that if the union label be-

made for it the manufacturers using
the label would have an advantage in
