hilly country, and good pair occa-
sionally cost as much as a pair OF
Australians, say, s400, though the
majority of ponies would sell for
about 800 or 1925 for the pair.
These ponies stand usually about IL
hands or under, are very stockily
built, stand the hot weather well,
eat barley, bran and soft foods, never
oats, and can be fed on very much
less than Australian or American
horses.
It is generally said that an Aus
tralian or American horse must not
be used in the Chinese climates for
more than two or three hours driv-
ing each day, with occasional days
rests, when they remain in the
stables, while the China pony is
available at all times and seems to
thrive on what would be an excess of
work for the foreign-bred animals

WANTED TO REPAIR SHACK.
But Failed to Get Permit to Fix the
Old Building.

Marshal Gibson this morning ar
rested A. w. Dennis and Paul G..
Kleppin, for violating ordinance No.
I217. which prohibits the remodeling
of any wooden building within the
! fire limits of the city, without per-
mission from the council. 1t seems
that Mr.. Kleppin, who is the new
publisher of the Oregon Searchlight.
rented the old wooden shack on
State street, adjoining Dillman's
secondhand store, for a publication
office for the prohibition organ, and
before moving in proceeded to re-
model the front. Mr.. Dennis was
employed as a carpenter to do the
work, and both the gentlemen were
warned by the mayor and marshal to
desist. They did so, temporarily.
but consulted the landlord, Chester
Murphy who advised them to go
ahead, saying he would stand be-
hind them In case of trouble. With
this assurance they proceeded this
morning, when they were again
warned. This time Mr.. Kleppin told
Mr.. Dennis to proceed with his work.
and insisted that he should not be
taken without a warrant. Thereup-
on Chief Gibson secured warrant
for Dennis, and also one for Klep-
pin, for interfering with an officer.
The two men were arrested and TAX
en- before City Recorder Moores.
Kleppin became very indignant, and
says he would never have been taxi
en- by the officer except for the fact
that he had sore finger. The men
were allowed to go on their own re-
cognizance, and It is understood that
they will look to their landlord to
see them through the difficulty.
The city officials seem determined
70 enforce this ordinance in all cases
where the property is not of such
character as TO make II desirable for
n store or large concern, and they
will undoubtedly proceed to enforce
the ordinance wherever such condl-
tlons exist. Application has twice
been made to have this building re-
modelled, and has each time been
turned down.
Mr.. Murphy, owner OF the build
ing, this afternoon, in response to
question by n Journal reporter, said
he would fight the matter to a finish,
as section 4, of ordinance 217, the
act fon the violation OF which the
arrests were made, was unconstltu-
tional. He also claimed the change

Use of Horses I'm China

1
The only place in China where
! horses are used to any great extent
are Shanghai, Tsingtau and Tientsin.
Australian, "walers," so called be-
cause they originate in New South
Wales, are the most popular.
These horses are imported into
Shanghai in patches of from 20 to
80, are well taken care of on the vow
age, and arrive in excellent condi-
tlon, and are put into use within a
couple of weeks after arrival. They
retail in Shanghai atNprices varying
from $50 United States currency to
5000, or even more in cases of spe-
clal breeds. They appear to stand
the climate fairly well, but are not
considered to be as strong or as use
ful as the China ponies, which are
native to the plains of Manchuria
and Tibet.
Very few American horses are
seen on the Shanghai market. the
rasons given being that the long
ocean voyage is exceedingly trying
on the animals, that they are not as
we'll cared for on the Pacific voyage
from America as from Australia, and
that they do not appar to stand the
enormous changes in climate incl
dent to the east. A certain num-
Der Of American horses have gone to
China from Manila, but by far the
largest number of horses In Shang-
hal and Tientsin are of Australian
origin.
Tientsin has also considerable
number of horses imported from Ger
many, many being brought there for
use by the German troops in 1900
at the time of the Boxer troubles,
and afterward sold for general use,
and most OF the horses in use at
Tslngtau are either OF this kind or
brought from Shang |
hal.
In Shanghai, Teintsln and Tslng- |
tau horses are used mostly for car
'lages, but there is also a call for
good Australian or American saddle |
horses for use in Peklng. Honkong
