Horses Starved to Death.

BAKER CITY, Feb ct is re-
ported mere from the ranges of Baker
county that scores of horses, turned
out by their owner to feed themselves
starved to death while many others are
in a most pitiable condition. This is
caused by the unusually deep SHOWS,
which prevent the animals from reach
ing the dried grasses of the ranges, on
which they usually depend for their
winter SuStenance.
There is a state law designed t,
remedy such situations as these bu'
it is not we'll understood here. 1t IS
to the effect that a person who takes
an estray animal in and feeds it car
be paid for the labor and the feed b,
advertising for the owner. who ais
must pay the expenses Of advertising
If the owner is not found, or refuses t
stand the expense, the horse is award
ed the person rescuing it"

While there is not as large a force

was ten days ago, men employed on
the work say that the temporary shut

bridge building machinery. All the

trade, Secretary Wilson says:
Important Commerce to Follow.
1T is not unlikely that an import
ant commerce between Japan and tht
countries of South America may fol-
low this opening of cheaper commu-
nication. The Japanese expect to fin1
a market there for manufactured silk
mating, straw braid, straw hats. por-
celain, fans, paper, matches, bamboo
articles, lacquer ware, wooden man
ufactures, etc. South American arti-
cles of export which would find a mar
ket in Japan are leather, hides, cot
ton, wool, nitrates, sugar, fodder and
wheat The starting Of regular Jap
anese lines to South America indi-
Gates the far-reaching commercial en-
terprise of the Japanese and their de-
termination to have a merchant ma
rine of the first magnitude. With a
large seafaring population, low wages
cheap coal and liberal government
subsidies to steamship companies, thu
Japanese will reach out for a good
share of the lucrative carrying trade
Of the world"
Evidently the Japanese believe that
commerce follows the flag in peace as
we'll as war.

This game was being played last

An electris wire became broken in
some way and hung down. One of
the steel balls rolled and hit the wire
and when the fellow grabbed the ball
he was badly shocked and was hurled
away from the wire. After rolling
around for awhile he recovered and
did not know what hit him. The 9TH
er fellow made light of it and said
"are you afraid of it? l am not, ="
and he went over and picked it up.
1t stuck to him like a brother and
he could not let go of it. 1t threw
him down and was burning him
frightfully when Mr.. Divito, with
great presence of mind, grabbed a
pole and got the wire away. The
fellow had become unconscious and
seemed in a bad condition. A doctor
was telephoned for, but could not get
here. Mr.. Divito worked the mans
arms and several bathed him with
