George Mcconnell. one Of the
prominent farmers of the San Juan
valley was badly injured Wednesday
afternoon by being struck by frac-
tious horse at the blacksmith shop at
Madden's Corners. Mr.. cConnell was
holding the mare by the bit when she
reared and struck him in the head
inf1icting painful wound above the
ear and on one cheek. He was insens
ible for time but soon recovered con
seriousness and was able to be taken to
his home after DR.. Wright had dressed
his wounds.

There are thousands of farmers on
the Pacific Coast who agree with q
writer in Orange Judd Farmer in that
best results are obtained from horses
weighing 1900 to 1900 pounds.
These horses are used for general pur-
poses. They must have good action,
be compactly built. something on the
old Morgan type. but little larger.
Such horses are large enough to haul
q reasonable load and can do q good
days work on the average farm. They
are useful on the road for light work.
The most useful horses for general
work are good, snappy creatures.

STANDARD OIL PROFITS.

After a line of questioning by, United
States counsel which brought out the
fact that on an original investment, in
toto, of $4,000 the Standard Oil
company has paid 1891 900 900 in divi-
dends and has accumulated q surplus
of $300,000.0 600; and that the same COM
pany. in period Of eight years, be-
tween 1899 and 1907, realized earnings
in the sum OF $3.50, 900, 900, MIR. Rookie
fel!er blandly testified that these prof
its were absolutely no criterion as to
the hazard of the enterprise
1t is such statements as this which
eXcites the suspicion that Mr. Rookie
Teller is q llumOrist, or that he is to-
tally ObliviOus to public common sense.
The power that is involved in this
profit making is stupendous. II sug-
gests the story so aptly and humor-
ously to in Mr.. Dodleys language
how Jawn d. was beset be rivals
how he pierced wan with a rebate,
how he broke tn law over another's
head, how he leaped through a loop
hole in a supreme court decision and
was safe FIR time; tn great peril he
was in firm f'rgettin' tn combination
to his safe; how he was threecherously
sthruck down by kenisaw NJ. Lands:
how Peter Groscupp came along an
lifted tn fine an carried him home
an nursed him back to life"
Surely the logic of the oil magnate's
assertion is sleek and slippery. as be-
comes the subject, and the business
practices and results, of which he teS-
titled. With imperturbab e assurance
we are asked to believe that the laws
of trade are reversed in Standard Oil
administration; that these enormous
profits did not attract competitors or,
if they did that it was better to re-
| lleVe the competitor of all the hazard.
and less costly to the consumer that
one concern should pocket all the
profits. This indicates the atmosphere
of Standard Oil education. 1t is a kew
to the character of those business as
sociates of whom Mr.. Rockefeller is
so proud, of whom Mr. DooIey puts apt
commentary in the mouth of "Jawn D.

Resolutions passed by the city coun-

consideration.
China'S condition must remain more
or less uncertain for some time. Rad
zeal changes are in progress in the
empire. The situation might suddenly
become serious.
In any event this country cannot af-
ford to leave its interests unprotected
in any part of the Orient, either now
or hereafter. There does not seem to
be any cause for alarm at the moment !;
but if the naval power of the republic
should be needed in the meas future,
there is every reason to believe the
need will be on the Pacific, and that
the demand will grow out of a chang
ing order in China.
The authorities at the national cap
ital should very carefully weigh the
possibilities of the present situation.
The official bodies of California cities
have not made an idle request in a
moment of alarm. The problems of
the navy, and the most vital problems

THE DEPARTURE OF CASTRO.

Castro, president and virtual dicta-
tor Of Venezuela has taken his de-
parture for Europe and is said to be
a very sick mSr. Indeed, it is gen.
orally surmised that unless his con-
ditiOn was very critical. he would not
have left his country where he alone
is the government and where he main
tains his control by the strong arm,
aided by his own personality,
The press dispatches say That he
goes to undergo an operation by
skilled European specialist. as no sur
geons in his own country are cOnpe-
tent to perform it. 1t is therefore as
sumed that he has been advised that
the operation 5 necessary to save his

1t is probable that the departure of

the Castro type he would undoubtedly
try To strengthen himself so that Cas-
tro could never get back into Vene-
Zuela. IF he is not a strong man. the
enemies of Castro will have good OPP
pOrtunity to foment revolution and
overthrow the existing government.
Altogether. il looks as though a new
variety Of trouble was brewing in Ven
ezuela, and at any rate, it seems doubt
flu that Castro will ever again weld
the rod of power in the turbulent
southern republic. Discounting some
of the stories of his Illness it is just
hare.y possible that Castro realizes
that he is at the end of his political
rope and is using his indisposition as
an excuse to put the ocean between
him and his own country.

they did not agree on what it was, so

better right away. They cured me and

ing since, to amount to anything.
About two years ago had Ia grippe
