river or railway station are generally
farmers who do teaming during a dull
season on their farms. Those who at
tempt to haul ties over the steep
mountain roads must take into consid-
GRAFTON the endurance of their teams
and the strength of their harness and
wagons. Hauling over these roads is
a perilous business. Green ties weigh
about 200 pounds each, and from ten
to twenty-four make a load, according
to the strength of the wagon and team
and the condition of the roads. Some
times the ties must be snaked' off Of
a precipitous hillside or out of deep
gorge before they can be loaded on
wagon, The hauler receives from three
to twenty-five cents tie, the distance
they must be hauled determining the
price
When the ties have finally reached
the market they are purchased by a
tie dealer or by an agent of one of the
railroads. They generally sell for
about forty-fve cents each. The ties

coyotes, being the most suspicious ami

But even when this is done, the gun

herd of cattle can be driven over one

1t is a remarkable fact that while
other wild animals in the West have
suffered at the hands of hunters, the
coyote has continued to flourish. In
order to rid a section of the country
of coyotes a regular business must be
made of hunting the animals down.
The coyote is to wary for the chance

His fondness for dead animals is his
undoing. The coyote cannot resist a
tempting carcass of steer or calf or
sheep. Poisoned carcasses are scatter

these bats are too unskilfully prepar-
led. A coyote will not touch a bait
that has been unskilfully man-handled

SEnREw BAKERS STRIKE.
Won't work Nights, and Set UP Rival
Shop.

WIN W"AA NABntHg anu set Up ANIVgaE
Shop.
Last night the strike of the Journeys
men bakers in the Jewish bakeries Of
the city seemed to be no nearer a koIu-
tion than at the beginning Of the strike,
said the proprietors of one Of the larg-
est shops in the city. But according to
"A. Silver, the Oak street baker, to-day
will see the backbone of the strike
broken. Most Of the master bakers
have no concern as to the outcome, be-
cause they have as many men as they
need. The only way, they say, the
strike is affecting them is that the
wagon trade Of the new Cooperative
bakery that the strikers have started at
$40 Grand avenue is taking away some
of their business. They feel that when
it becomes generally known through
the Jewish quarter that these strikers,
who claim to be union men, have no
union charter, and are in no way con-
nected with the bakers union, their
lost trade will return to them.
A week ago yesterday the men in the

then demanded that the hours be from
o'clock in the morning to 8 o'clock at
night, rather than from at night to
6 in the morning, but this was refused
on the ground that the bread would not
be fresh when sold the next day But
the men didn't strike not just then;
they waited until they baked that night
and managed to spoil the bakings in all
the shops. Then they went out.
When they struck at Israel Stern's'
shop he hired an eighteen-year-old boy
Henry Alderman by name, to help him
out But it wasn't long before a crowd
of the strikers came and intimidated
him, threatening him with bodily vio-
lence, and he left At this same time
friend of one of the master bakers got
into an alteration with this crowd, and
before they got through with him he
was fit subject for the hospital. The
ring leader Of this assault was Morris
Weinstein, and he was arrested and
fined SIS and costs in the city court
And the end is not yet, although sever
al Of the strikers have gone back to
their former employers and asked to be
rehired The master bakers wouldn't
take them back, saying they We're get

Professor Goodnow's Review.

In his paper on 1.-THE British NUM-
cipality" Prof. Goodnow reviews the
methods Of government in British cit
les at great length and points out
MANY features which he contends
makes the question of municipal own
ership much more simple in Great Bri-
tain than in America. He says: "The
kind Of organization which the British
city possesses and the comparatively
Iaristocratic character of its institu-
lions are without doubt attributable in
some degree at least to the great hon.
ogencity of the people, which, apart
from London, offers a great contrast
to the conditions obtaining in the
United States Great Britain has not,
as has the United States for the last
century or more. been She goal OF the
oppressed and afflicted of all nations.
The result is the presence in the coun-
try of a population speaking the same
Language, brought up from their youth
with the same ideas of right and
wrong and therefore capable with little
conscious effort of greater social CO.
operation is the case in the United
States. Consequently there is less d.
versity of opinion than in this country
as to the proper sphere of city govern
ment. less variation in the methods
which are believed to be the proper
ones by means of which to secure the
objects sought and a more intelligent
appreciation of the difficulties with
which the attainment of efficient and
upright municipal government is be-
set.
| In the selection Of the most import
ant subordinates such as general
managers of the various municipal I'M
dertal1ings under the control Of the
council, the councils of British cities
and their committees adopt the meth
DDS which are commonly adopted in
this country by those in charge of
large business undertakings, methods
which, however, are seldom followed
by those on this side of the water in
charge of the city government A char
acteristic example of the application of
business methods to city government Is
to be found the cases where the cit
les have entered upon It policy of mum
Iicipality ownership and operation of
public utilities, Municipal accounts
are so kept that each undertaking is
debited with the expenses which it has
incurred and credited with the
amounts due for services which it has
rendered the same as if it were oper-
ated by private company. Thus, a

company would have to pay were it
