Essay on the Automobile
BY WENDELL sw1rzER. Aged 10.


First, viii mention that automo-
biles will run longer than horses. An
automobile does not give you nearly
as much trouble as horses. Very
early in the morning you have to get
up, dress, and go out in the cold and
iced your horses, which is not at all
hiee, and then you have to wait
long time till they are through eat
ing, which delays you; while an au-
tomobile you just have to fill with
gasoline the minute you want to start.
The feed for the automobile, which
Is gasoline, does not cost as much as
feed for the horses, for the only feed
there is for automobiles is gasoline,
and the horse has to have corn, wheat,
oats, hay, bran and other things.
which raise higher and lower, but
gasoline never changes its price much
at all. And wheat is so valuable,
and so is timothy hay, and you hardly
ever get good wheat and corn You
have to take such good care of your
corn or the crows will get it. And
another thing is, that horse can
have only one horse power, while an
automobile can have forty or fifty.
If you do not give your horses good
food, you cannot sell them for a good
price, for they get weak and sick.
Automobiles never get sick, which
saves trouble. When horse gets sick
it is more liable to die than any other
thing. You can get automobiles of
all sizes, while horses are nearly all
one size. You have to curry your
horses, brush and wash them, which
takes trouble. One of the hardest
things of all about horses is training.
That is very hard. Automobiles don't
have to be trained, which saves trou-
Bile. To train horse you must near
ly risk your life, for you do not know
what or when the colt is going to do.
It is very hard job. When colt
is first bridled up it does not know
what to do. 1t jumps and rears,
kicks, runs, and if you hitch one up
to new buggy, there will be nothing
left of it, for the colt will do every
thing it can to get the harness off.
The young colt is not used to having
harness on, and it feels very miser-
able to him and he wants to get it
off. The horses scare at street cars
and rear up and sometimes break the
buggy. Automobiles never get scared
like horses. You have to hollow at
the horse to make it go, while you
just have to turn a crank to make an
automobile go. An automobile tells
us how far it has gone, or going, and
how much gasoline it is using. A
horse does not do that. 1t does not
tell US how much flesh he is wearing
off or how much breath it is using
and don't tell us how far he is going,
so we don't know when to stop and
keep on going and wearing off flesh
till the poor horse is nothing but skin
and bones, which we call a skater.
and make fun of the owner. Some
people do not feed their horses, and
drive them so much that they drive
them to death. You can't run an au-
tomobile to death no matter how
much you run them, which is better.

To pick up your home paper in a
strange city produces feeling akin
to seeing your nations flag floating
in foreign country. That we knew,
but we did not know that sight Of the
home paper would cure seasickness
until last week. A lady on board the
steamer State of California. on her
trip from San Francisco to Portland,
was shown copy Of the Pilot Rock
Record. and the effect was marvel
GUS. The lady was on her way to Pl-
lot Rock to pay a visit to her parents.
but had been confined to her berth
almost from the hour of leaving San
Francisco. At sight of her home pa
per she came or deck and enjoyed
the remainder Of the trip immensely.

GOV. Forts Parole Plan.

The overcrowding Of the State
prison was brought to the attention
of Coy. Fort by the prison inspectors
who asked his assistance in procur-
ing an appropriation for increasing
the accommodations. The Governor
for many years has been a champion
of the parole system and asked the
inspectors whether there were not a
number of first offenders serving
terms for minor offences whose con-
duct would justify the Court of Par
dons in granting paroles. He was
opposed to enlarging the prison at
this time. and thought it might be
well to try the experiment of increas-
ing the parole list. He also requested
the inspectors to furnish to the Court
of Pardons the names of prisoners
whom they considered at subjects for
parole. Gov Fort said that the
largest number of cases he had
thought might come up in this way
was from 100 to 150. He had no
thought of letting 500 or 700 out, as
has been stated.

Very Proper.

A tourist in an out-of-the-way re-
gion of England put up one night at
an amiable old lady's cottage. the
village inn being full.
Now, the tourist was very deaf.
which fact he took pains to impress
upon the old lady, together with in
structions to wake him at a particu-
lar hour in the morning.
On waking good deal later than
the time appointed he found that the
amiable old lady. with commenda-
Bile regard for propriety, had slipped
under his door slip OF paper on
which was written

MODERN FARMING.

In the December issue of the Tech
nical World Magazine is an exhaust
i've and very interesting article de
scriptive OF the Northern Colorado
Power company's plant at Lafayette,
and the article has some bearing on
the agricultural possibilities of parts
OF this country. as yet undeveloped.
1t is a well known fact that cleo
tricity, as generated at the coal mine
mouth or by water power, is the
cheapest power conceivable The
equipment once in place, the cost OF
a few thousand additional horse DOW
er Is almost nothing. The manufac-
turers of this current in northern
Colorado are seeking a profitable out
put for more current, and are taking
up the matter of power for irriga-
ton pumping plants for small tracts.
Heretofore the cost of bringing the
water to the surface has been too
high in most instances to make farm
ing by pumping irrigation water
profitable except in isolated cases.
The charge for the new pumping
power will be regulated like some
railroad tariffs-by what the traffic
Will bear. AS result, all the lands
in reach of the electric power lines
can be profitably irrigated from the
wells, and this will mean hundreds of
additional profitable small farms
tributary to this city.

heard of in Weld county in the next
