HAS DRUNKEN MAN IN TOW
Pilot of Protesting Inebriate Arrested
on Suspicion of Being Interested
In Another,s Money

l.. Hanson was arrested at Sixth
street and Broadway last night on sus-
picion The direct cause of his arrest
was due to the fact that he was seen
towing drunken man through the
streets to the evident displeasure of-the
inebriate. and the officer who arrested
him alleges that he was endeavoring
TO obtain money and valuables in the
possession of his victim.
Although he claimed to be a hard
working man his hands did not indicate
much rough use and the police felt
safe In farresting him If for no other
reason than that they were certain
he was a vagrant and too fond of
drunken men with money.

Settle Trouble

%he city OF Los Angeles is about to
be involved in legislation to determine
the validity OF the ordinance limiting
the district in which stock yards and
hay markets may be operated.
Eight proprietors OF stock yards were
refused licenses by City License Clerk
LOWE recently for the reason that the
city attorney gave out an opinion TO
the effect that the ordinance was valid.
These eight men, I'm conjunction with
other owners of stock yards and hay
markets, stated that they would bring
suit to test the ordinance
The terms OF the ordinance, which
Went into effect October 16, limit the
territory In which stock yards and hay
markets may exist to that part Of the
Los Angeles herald., 1906-12-05

city north of $50 feet south of First
street.
Before the ordinance was passed there
were many stock yards, horse marfiets,
hay markets and others of the like op-
Grating in the restricted district. Most
of these still are in operation and the
eight to whom licenses were refused
will remain in existence until the opin-
ion of the city attorney Is upheld by a
decision Of the courts.
AS fast IS the requests for renewals
of licenses go in to the license clerk
they will be refused, and II the owners
persist i'm running their hay markets
and stock yards they will be prosecuted.
The claim made by the proprietors of
the markets and yards is that In pass
ing an ordinance limiting the territory
in which their enterprises may exist the
council attempts class legislation.

kets affected by the ordinance which
are still doing business in the forbidden

and far apart. 1t is the Short
grass" country and is today fur
nishing forage and grazing for great
herds and flocks. West of the
Tooth meridian the climate belongs
to the semi-arid REGION and general
farming without irrigation is not
successful except in years of unu-
sual and timely rainfall. The history
of this section has been marked by
number of disastrous failures,
most of which resulted from a lack
of knowledge of the climatic oscil-
lation and from a fever of specula-
ton in western mortgages.
During a cycle of wet years agri-
culture was extended far across the
plains, the movement being greatly
facilitated by companies formed to
place loans and take mortgages on
real estate. The east was the
treasury from which the funds
were drawn. During the continu-
ances of sevreal years of ample
rainfall the profits of these loan
agencies were great and prudence
was thrown to the winds. A series
of dry years and the. consequent
failure of crops forced the settlers to
abandon their farms and whole
counties were practically depopu-
allied. Today here and there on the
plains the deserted sod house or the
more substantial farm dwelling is
framed against level landscape,
lonesome reminders of the pioneers
failure. Occasionally the remains
of dozens of structures mark the site
of what was once a prosperous
town or county seat, but what is
now only the haunt of the coyote or
the gaunt gray wolf. Mortgages
were foreclosed and the makers of
loans became burdened with large
areas of land practically valalueless.
Attempts were made to construct
irrigation works to insure crops,
but the results as a rule were not
successful and the stockholders lost
their investment.
Some of the pioneers tenaciously
hung on to their homes and when

sue. Naturally Mr.. Brady feels
that such high-minded political gen.
eralship should receive its reward.
The particular revelation that
Mr.. Brady desires communicated to
the Mormons in Idaho is that it is
not meet and proper that the Repub-
licans should nominate a candidate
for United States senator in their
state convention. If that were
done, Mr.. Brady fears that the NOM
inaiton would go to his more popu-
lar rival, w. E. Borah, and that
his own Herculean labors of the last
campaign would go unrewarded.
If Mr.. Brady can get the mo
nomination revelation, he will be
content for the time. Of course,
should the republicans be fortunate
enough to elect a republican legis-
lature, Mr.. Brady will make an
other pilgrimage to Zion about
Yuletide and ask for a revelation
that the faithful vote for him for
United States senator.

since and is now being sprinkled
and rolled every few days to get it
in condition. Mr.. Taylor says when
he gets through with it, there will
not be a faster track in the west
that the soil is such that an ideal
surface can be developed. A we'll
has been sunk in one of the outer
angles of the barn and plenty of
water secured.
Among Mr.. Garrett"s numerous
enterprises, far from the least inn
portant to this country is his blood
ed stock. He has brought here some
of the finest bred horses in Amer
lea, Percherons, Oldenburg coach
horses and trotters. He has herd
of pure strain Jerseys that would
win the blue ribbon at any cattle
exhibition on the continent; not to
mention droves of fat, blooded hogs
and flocks of fancy fowls.

POLITICAL PILGRIMS 60

X. Gooding, State Chairman ]. H.
Brady, of Pocatello, and F. S. Dis
trick, also of Pocatello, who is
grooming himself as a candidate for
governor, have all been in Salt
Lake, and common rumor ascribed
their presence here to single mo-
tive, viz: the desire to enlist the
support of Mormon church officials
in behalf of their respective candi-
dates and ambitions.
There is no evidence that the
church has committed itself to any
of them; in fact all could doubtless
plead not guilty to the charge of
having conversed with President
Joseph F. Smith, for the very good
reason that he has manifested a

PUMP THE
UNDERTOOK
Government to irrigate aud
Populate the Great
Plains.

The mention of home building
in western Kansas and Nebraska
will call up painful recollections
to-day in more than one household
in New England. The disastrous
attempt of years back to inhabit
and farm these scmi-desert prairies
lends much interest to the first gov
eminent irrigation works to be
located in the Great Plains region,
the Garden City project. Contract
will be let this month and the
work will doubtless be completed
in time for irriagtion in the spring
of 1907.
Unusual interest attaches to this
project, not alone because it is the
first which involves pumping from
underground sources but because it
is believed that its successful oper-
alton will usher in new era for
the Great Plains. The importance
of this project is more fully real
lied when it is remembered that
the division of the United States
known as the Great Plains comprises
700,000 square miles, or ovei
one quarter of the total area of the
whole country. Over vast portion
of this region the settlers are few

FINEST
BARN IN
IDAHO
J. II. Garrett is Building
one of Cement Blocks
on His Farm.

On his eighty acre farm adioin-
ing town J. II. Garrett is building
the finest barn in Idaho. Its walls,
ten feet high, which are about COM
pleted, are constructed of cement
blocks, made here. Contractor Per-
rim, one of the firm that manufac-
lures the blocks, is erecting the
building, under the direction of w.
E. Taylor, Mr.. CARROTS trainer
and skilled horseman of wide ex-
perience.
The barn is built in the form of
a cross, the arms of which are 100
feet long and forty feet wide, the
center being forty feet square. 1t
will contain twenty-one box stalls.
Through either arm there will be a
driveway with cement floor. The
stalls will have no floor, the bare
ground being better for the horses
hoofs. The building will have a
sloping roof, surmountcd by an or
namental cupola.
The barn is near the half mile
track, that was graded some weeks
