"The cattlemen and sheepmen are
coming to a more amicable under
standing and few more sheep killings
are expected" said Douglas Nc
Arthur, a sheepman of Prineville.
''In fact, many Of the cattlemen are
buying sheep and the enmity which
existed between the two factions Is
not so strong as 1t used to be.
"Sheep are very easily killed, and
two or three men with rifles can
slaughter surprisingly large number
of them in very short time. The ami
mails when they become frightened i'm
mediately bunch up, seeking safety IN
numbers, and this makes it all the
easier for those who shoot them. When
they bunch several Of them can be
killed with one shot."-Portland Ore

found on most wagons.
The u. s. Bureau of Road Inquiry
has been making a study of the Width
of tires prescribed by local and national
authorities in various parts of the
world. In France every freightine
and market cart. instead of injuring
the highway, improves it. Many of the
tires are ten inches wide. In the four.
wheeled vehicles in that country the
rear axle is fourteen inches longer than
the fore, and as result the rear
wheels run on line about an inch
outside the level rolled by the front
wheels. After few loaded wagons
have passed over road the highway
looks as If a steam road roller had
been at work. A national law in Ger
many prescrbes tlrat-wagons heavily
loaded must have tires not less than
four inches wide. In Austria the min
imum for similar vehicles Is six and
one-half inches; in Switzerland, six
inches.
In number Of States in this country
laws have been passed granting rebate
OF highway taxes to citizens who use
on lumber wagons tires not less than
three inches wide. On toll roads in
Kentucky and several other States
farmers hauling loads in wide-tired
wagons are entitled to lower rates than
those paid by the owners of narrow
tired vehicles.
At an experiment station 1t was dem
onstrated that It requires forty per
cent. more power to draw load on a
wagon with one and One-half inch tires
than on one with a three-inch tire.
With Baldwin dynamometer, careful
tests were made with loaded wagons
drawn over bluegrass sward. In a
wagon weighing 1000 pounds it was
found that load Of 324S pounds could
be drawn on wide tires with the same
force required to move 1000 pounds on
narrow tires. Moreover, the wide tires
did not injure the turf, while the mar
row ones cut through it. In some parts
Of the country pioneers in the use of
wide tires have had to stand a good
deal Of ridicule. The manifest benefit
to roads, however, soon changes pub
lie sentiment.
The president Of leading wagon
manufacturing company states that
the demand for wide tires is increas-
ing every year. Another company in
the same line Of business conducted
a series Of tests, using a Fairbanks
dynamometer carefully calibrated, and
was convinced that on very hard roads
the preference, so far as draft is con-
cerned, is for narrow tires. In the
effect upon the roads, however, wide
tires have the advantage.

The Jewish outlook., 1906-08-24
BY Simon Wolf.

This is Il question that has been pro-
pounded time and again, and is con-
stantly recurring in various directions.
Men of experience and wide observa
tions, great scholarship p and sympathetic
eloquence, have claimed, and do claim,
that the feeling is growing, and that
there is grave danger in the near future.
Is it true! Are the fears well founded?
Is there danger of such manifestations
in this country as have disgraced other
lands for centuries? A surface view
would warrant such conclusion, but we
must not judge by that which is hyster-
zeal, ephemeral, or local. We must
probe deeper to arrive at satisfactory
conclusions and we owe it to ourselves
and to the country in which we live that
we discuss this question dispassionately,
ically. Now, what are the historical
facts as far as American citizenship
among the Jews is concerned? The de-
partments of our government show
few, and fortunately very few, instances
where the question of religion or race
played an important part in in connec
ton with holding an office.
Nj. M. Noah was recalled as consul
from Tuns because President Monroe
listened to the demands of foreign
government which desired the recall of
Noah on account Of his being a Jew.
The truth of the matter is that it was
only used as a cloak. Noah was an i'm
petuous, self reliant and self-willed man.
He was as the representative of our couln-
try what he was at home, assertive and
domineering, yet thoroughly loyal; and,
therefore, when no other reason could be
assigned, the old one "He is jew"
was made use of: and he became per-

Anti-Semitism i'm This Country?

soma non grata The same reasons were
assigned in the case Of Commodore
Uriah p. Levy, who for forty years had
to battle against the intrigues and ca
balls of naval officers, and he was court
martialed time and again for other
things, when in reality the opposition to
him was from a social standpoint, and
the naval set did not want to have in
their mess a Jew.
Mr.. Kelley of Richmond, Catholic,
was sent as minister to Austria. He
had married Jewess, and he was not
received in Austria on account Of it, but
another person had to be appointed; but
this was no fault Of our government or
of the people, nor could any protest be
made against any foreign government on
account of it, as they have the right I'M
der international laws and treaties to re-
fuse or accept any representative OF the
foreign government We have exercised
that same right.
Many questions of race and religious
prejudice have arisen in consequence OF
our government sending to the countries
Of their birth consuls and ministers
whom those governments did not wish
to see as representatives as they become
a source of disturbance and irritation
among their own people. Bismarck
during his regime, requested our State
Department not to send American citi-
zens Of German birth as representatives
to their native country. Many Of these
representatives naturally. became per-
sons Of influence here by virtue of their
wealth or political influence. Many OF
them had practically been nobodies in
the land of their birth, and, returning
as American citizens, officially, they

Yiddish at Cape Colony

The government Of Cape Colony has
resolved formally and by it's legislation
to recognize Yiddish as European
language. 1t will be remembered that
under the immigration act passed four
years ago aliens were forbidden to land
if they were unable to "write out and
sign in the characters Of any European
language, an application to the satisfac-
ton Of the Minister This left Yiddish
in a dubious position. Some months
afterwards Gin February, 1909 when
the act was suddenly put into force, we
drew attention to misapprehensions
which had arisen, and we argued on
grounds Of history and philology that
Yiddish is a European tongue. A prom
Use was given by the Cape government
to introduce an amendment to include
Yiddish under the category of admissible
languages. That promise had not been
fulfilled although, in practice, successive
governments had recognized Yiddish as
a European language. The new Immi-
grafton BILL introduced during the pres
ent session, was regarded as a favorable
opportunity for procuring the legal ac-
ceptance Of this view and it is satisfac-
tory to find that the government, and in
deed the members on both sides of the
House Of Assembly, cheerfully agreed
to this course. Jews have every reason
to be grateful for their enlightened ac-
ton, which raises Yiddish to it's proper
position in the community of languages,
and not only removes possible stumb-
ling block in the way Of Jewish immi-
grants, but sets up an exceedingly i'm
portant precedent which may be of
value in other countries as time goes on.

Scranton. Pa, May 2.--This after
noon the anthracite scale committee
gathered here to formulate matters
which 1t will present to the convention
which assemblies tomorrow to decide
whether there shall be strike involv-
ing 100000 hard coal workers Of
Pennsylvania. President Mitchell had
a busy forenoon with the questions in-
volved for the last answer Of the oper-
ators in which they refused the prop
ositions of the miners for wage In

only matter with which the scale COM
mittee Will deal. The committee viii
make no recommendation as to the
course the convention shall follow,
leaving to the latter the disposition of
the strife issue when 1t has thoroughly
discussed the matter There Is no de-
nying the fact that the whole region
is filled with strong sentiment, and 1t
is believed a strike will be declared,
unless Mitchell and the three district
presidents have some plan to place
before the delegates that will allow
OF an honorable backdown from the
demands made upon the operators.
The attitude of the companies contin-
ues one of being prepared for a strike.
