HORSE TRADE ENCOURAGING.
Winter Dalrylng.

Quite a discussion-equal to that of
dozen or fifteen years ago-is going on
concerning summer and winter dairying.
Under normal conditions 1t seems that
winter dairying would prove the most
remunerative, since milk and butter can
be kept more easily, the latter COM
mands a better price, and cows that
freshen in the fall give milk longer, on
the whole, than those calving In the
spring.
But has the winter system increased
as much as hoped for by its advocates?
As the politicians claim that the "18 to
L" idea has been made obsolete by the
wonderful output of gold, so 1t appears
that conditions for the past few years
have initiated against the winter dairy
ing proposition. There does not seem to
have been large increase OF cows In
proportion to the increase Of population,
and so the supply of raw products has
not kept pace with the cOnsumptive de-
mand. Then the high prices of cattle
and hogs cut figure. Some farmers
are therefore inclined to decrease their
herd of COWS and add to their stock Of
hogs or beef cattle, an additional con-
sideration for this being the difficulty
also of securing the right kind OF help
to attend to the dairy. Winter dairying
compels more grain feeding, fact un.
derstood by all having experience; and
all these things have contributed In
many localities to falling off instead OF
an increase of milk in the winter.
The Elgin Dairy Reporter makes some
omparisOns of prices. "Take the year
1885," it says; "the average price for
June butter was II IL cents; for Decem-
Der, SO cents, more than double. So
taking 1881, the average for June was
20 1-2 cents; for December Al IL cents
slightly more than double. Taking the
years since storage has been practiced,
for instance 1885, June, IA cents; Decem-
Der 81 40 cents; 1908, June 81 lilo cents;
December, 25 $40 cents" Thereupon
the same journal draws these conclu-
sions: "rhese figures are instructive as
showing that since the method OF storing
butter in large quantities has prevailed,
there has been q more even price during
the whole year than previous to that
time. The iuducement, therefore, for
making winter milk has decreased, be-
cause of the more stable and uniform
prices arising from the amount OF stor.
age goods that are put on the market
during the season Of low production
(winter). As things are at present there
seems to be no special reason to believe
that the production OF milk will In
crease during the winter season, az the
farmers will take the easiest road-that
which produces milk at the least cost,
BY producing the greatest amount dur
ing the summer"
We still incline to favor winter dairy
ing, despite the foregoing, especially
where one has good local trade and no
storing facilities.

RECEIPTS OF LIVE STOCK BY YEARS

Business at the yards was greatly
hampered by the continual delay OF
trains. Prompt arrivals have been the
exception for some time past. Shippers
have taken the subject up with the rail-
roads, and hope for improvement dur
ing the coming year. Delayed trains
mean loss in weight and quality of stock,
and frequently necessitate concessions
in prices.
HORSE TRADE ENCOURAGING.
The market for horses throughout the
year has, in general, been a prosperous
one. Quotations during the year have
held remarkably steady, even through
the dull season. The market showed
but q slight falling of In prices and
readily regained It's former level, as
trade once more became active. At no
time was the supply in excess OF the
demand. Purchasers are looking more
for first-class horses than in years past,
consequently, small seconds are in small
demand and move slowly, at low figures.

A MYSTERY OF THE SEA.
The Puzzlins Beeswax of the Beaches
 of Oreuon

The Puzzlins Beeswax of the Beaches
 of Oregon.
 Of all the secrets held by the fotsam and jetsam of many years none is stranger than that of the beeswax of the Oregon beaches. Long before the white man came to the great north west by ship or prairie schooner yes sels from the orient had skirted the coast. Bits of wreckage have told the story of Chinese junks gone to pieces on the shore, but the most curious evil dence of this eastern traffic has been found on the Oregon coast south of the Columbia river. Mir. Clarke gives an account of this treasure trove in his Pioneer Days"
 When Lewis and Clark made their famous expedition they learned that the native Indians of Oregon had for many years found Jumps of beeswax on the sandy shores. ...
 Beeswax is practically indestructibIe in water. but these pieces had pounded in the surf until they were black and battered almost beyond recognition.
 In 1874 one Henry, engaged in the fur trade, wrote an account of finding masses of this wax. The pieces were scattered over a wide stretch of coast and were now covered, now uncovered, by tbe blowing sand. Some of the Jumps were softened into all shapes and sizes by the heat of the sun and bieached nearly white Others we're square and stamped with strange char acters.
 In 1895 a Mir Howell, walking on the beach, saw something exposed in the sand. It proved to be the corner of some large squares of beeswax weigh ing several tons. Many smaller blocks were also found, all bearing the stamp cd letters q H S'' Besides the squares of wax, quantities of large candles were discovered. In looking up the matter 1t was learned that ss far back as records ran these tapers had been found with the wax on ts. shore.
 Of course the explanation may be that some oriental ship bearing church supplies for mission farther south went to pieces on the Oregon coast many. many years ago, but what would a ship bound for Mexico or South America be doing so far north. and what use could any mission have for such an enormous quantity of waxf

LITERARY IMPosToRs.
Many Clever Writers Who Have De

Many Clever Writers Who Have De-
 eeived the World.
 Clever literary impostors who have deceived the world are numerous Gamslli Carrteri, Neapoiitan gentle man and scholar. while confined to his room for long period of years by ill ness amused himself by writing an ac- count of an imaginary voyage round the world. When the volume was pub lished, 1t was taken as fact even by learned people.
 The deailed account of a trip to China which is credited to Du Halde Is another literary hoax. The author had never seen China and had been sufficiently clever to compile the work soleIv from the memoirs of Chinese missionaries.
 It is remarkable, though no less a fact that "Gulliver's Travels" was thought to be true narrative when 1t first appeared, and the famous story of Damberger's travels was likewise q hoax.
 Varillas, the French historian, enjoy ed wide reputation as chronicler of events, but later 1t was discovered that his works were purely fakes. The vol umes Of this writer resemble those Of Gregorio Rei, who, in order to keep himself from starving, appended the most unheard of incidents to English history as it was known.
 One of the most daring impostures on record is that of Joseph Vella of Sicily. He said that he discovered sey- enteen of the lost books of Lfvy in Arabic. He then set to work and wrote a translation from his fancy, which was printed. After his death the fraud was discovered. Before his death, however, he fell under suspi- cion and was condemned to imprison- slent.
 There are countless cases of authors selling their names to be put on works they have never read. Sir John Hill once contracted to translate a Dutch book. After the agreement he remem- bered that be did not know word Of Dutch. He then bargained with an other translator to do the work for half the price he was to receive.

THE slsBEE STRIKE.

The press of the territory is prae
 tically unanimous in eondemning the action of the agitators and organizers who come into the Warren mining district and disturbed a peaceful and prosperous condition by calling a senseless strike. These agitators called hundreds of men from their work at good wages without any reas- on whatever, except that they might grow fat on the dues the men would pay to the Western Federation of Miners. They make the silly claim that the Bisbee companies were dis eliminating against union men and then in a circular assert that they called union men from the mines amounting to S5 per cent of the men at work when the strike was ordered. In Tucson there are no mining com panies, but there are newspapers and there is one which has a clear idea of the situation at Bisbee, as the follow ing from the Tucson Post will show:
 The strike at Bisbee has been characterized as hopeless failure. It was not a strike for more wages or less time to work. merely a demand for the recognition of the Western Federation of Miners, or, in other words. to uniopize the camp. This is the second time an attempt at this class of work has been done. Agita- tors failed before and they will fail now. It is acknowledged that the men are better paid in the Warren district than elsewhere and are as vel treated as men can be. Instead of complaint there is nothing but words of commendation from the men employed for their employers. The Copper Queen company has ever been noted for their interest in the welfare of men working for the company. Not tRo months ago, to correspond with the uprise in the price of copper, the company voluntarily raised the wages of all of it's employees. In recognition of this, and of many past kindnesses, the great majority of miners refused to obey the behests of the agitators and showed their good oense by con tinuing at work At the end of the month, armed with good sized checks. they will feel like men in comparison with the poor dupes that did the bid ding of the so-called walking delegate. The latter class of individuals earn their bread by agitation. They are sup ported by the very men against whose best interest they are continually la boring. The miners of this district need no unicnizing They are earning good money, supporting themselves and families in comfortable homes. and many of them are providing lib- orally against coming age.

POINTS IN THE LUMBER CASE.

LUMBER CASE.
 Proceedings and inquiries looking to prosecution of the lumber trust by the government are much in the na- ture of what man might do who goes gunning for burglars to whom he had intentionally left his house open.
 The trouble about the lumber trust is aptly put by the St Louis Republic in the following:
 "The Dingley tariff of s2 a thousand feet on unplaned sawed lumber is the Opportunity which the republican par ty has provided for the lumbermen to form a combine.
 If the lumbermen have banded to- gether in order to take all that they can get, they are doing nothing but what the president and other support CTS of the Dingley tariff daily invite them to do
 The timber sdpply of this country is rapidly diminishing. Those who own 1 it know that they have an exceedingly valuable asset so long as the lumber tariff stands. and they naturally do not desire to sell for less than they can get.
 1t looks like the most aureaso.l"5ie of contradictions to prosecute men for doing what the government by law encourages them to do. If the lumber trust is gouging the home maker and the home keeper, 1t is doing exactly what is done by the barons in every other industry which the tariff clothes with the powers of robbery. There is one law, eninently successful, to make criminals of them, and another, not so effective, to punish them for do ing the things which the other law encourages them to do.
 Tn the lumber business, there would be no application of the Sherman anti. trust law if the tariff on lumber were repealed. Let in the lumber from the boundIess forests of Canada and the lumber trust would lose the power to make trouble for the department of justicet
 Eff the trust has violated the law, the exact measure of its offending is lthe s2 per thousand feet which the Dingley act authorizes the members of the trust to take. If they tried to take more the Canadian lumbermen would trip them.
 The situation is only one of the many inconsistencies of republican monopoly and class legislation. The Dingley act and the Sherman anti trust law stand together on the vicious theory that t is better to encourage crime and then punish 1t than to pre- vent it altogether.
 By preventing 1t altogether in the case of lumber we would gain the very great benefit of checking, in a meas ure, the destruction of our own for. ests. of which we have none to spare if our climate is not to become arid through the loss of them.
 Probably those who will rejoice most if the department of justice does something to the lumber trust will be the canny New Englanders who have little timber and have long been yearn- ing for the lumber of Canada. Very likely it is at their suggestion that the administration is moving upon the nmbermen. For Massachusetts has been making lot of trouble ever the tariff for the republican bosses, and may not remain loyal to the party un- less she can get free the things she has to buy while keeping a stiff tarif on fhe tb;nos ahe bae to aelip

TARIFF REFORM IS
 COMING ISSUE.

TARIFF REFORM IS
 COMING ISSUE.
 It is becoming more apparent every day that the democratic party will give the question of tariff reform, in- volving the necessity for lowering the tariff duty on the necessities of the people, now controlled by the trusts, prominence in the national platform next year. While every reason for tariff revision has existed for many years that exists now the republican party will hold on the question of tariff revision in the sixtieth congress just as they blocked it in the fifty ninth congress, sofhat they can go be- fore the country in the next campaign with the battle cry "Let the tariff be revised by its friends. P Tariff revision is to be purposeiy delayed for politi- cal purposes,
 In the meantime it might be well to, consider some of the things our high tariff has accomplished:
 A duty of 75 cents ton on coal made possible the anthracite coal trust, with it's advanced prices.
 The boot and shoe combine was ma terially strengthened by duty of 25 per cent on boots and shoes,
 The tariff on brooms was raised 40 per cent and the prices were raised accordingly.
 The duty on pearl buttons was raised =.arly 400 per cent, and 'sRe button trust has had It's own way since.
 The tariff on cartridges was in- creased 45 per cent and since Noyem- Der 1880, they have sold at prices nearly 100 per cent higher than in 1888. They are, however, sold to for eigners about 40 per cent cheaper than to Americans.
 The harrow and the harvester trusts both sell to foreigners cheaper than to Americans, and are both protected by high tariffs. ~ Prohibitive duties on white lead have made it possible for the lead combine to sell abroad at heavy dis counts, while they charge monopoly prices at home.
 Matches under a tariff have in creased 50 per cent per gross.
 A duty of Is per cent was sufficient to build up the great paper bag trust, yet the Mckinley bill gave them 25 per cent.
 The plate glass trust was protect ed by duty of 100 per cent, and al though the cost of manufacture stead fly declined, the American consumer paid the trust $1O.OOO,oOO in one year for plate glass more than it could have been purchased abroad for.
 The great starch and dextrine trust had it's interests assured by the Mo Kinley tariff. and after this advanced it's price of lump starch s2O per ton. The tariff of 25 per cent on watches was retained and the American still pays 2s per cent more for similar watch than foreigner.
 The tarifr on wood screws allows the wood screw trust to sell it's wares at 30 per cent more to Americans than to foreigners.
 TheGe are but few instances from many that might be cited. Practically every protected industry under the present high tariff laws has raised prices and is selling abroad at a far less price than is charged at home.
