COWBOYS IN AUTOS TO

GALVESTON, Tex, Feb. g.
An order for 10 automobiles for
the Ransom & Wellsiord cattle
of Midland and Crane
Texas, mark the replac-
ing of the cowboy pony by the
auto for cattle roundups. -
The purchase of the automo-
biles is not for experimental pur-
poses, for tests have been made
for the past six months or more,
and 1t was merely a question of
what type of horseless vehicle
would be best adapted for the
rough uses it will be subjected to

WOULD TRAIN MAYNARD
BOYS TO BE FARMERS

OLYMPIA, Feb. 9.-"I don't
want to teach the boys at the
State Training school a smatter-
ing of some overcrowded trade
that will take them back to the
cities and evil associations. I want
to make first class farmers of
them, teach them the delights and
beauties Of farm life and start
them off in the world when they
leave the states charge with some
money of their own that they have
earned themselves"
In these words Acting Governor
Hay referred to his plan to move
the State Training school from
Chehalis to some irrigated farm
in Eastern Washington.
At present the boys there, boys
who are clever and whose So
called incorrigibility results en-
tirely from overabundant animal
spirits wrongly diverted from lack
of proper parental control, are
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1909-02-09

|given instruction in shoe making,
tailoring and a.few other trades.
Hays plan is to put them on a
farm where intensive farming can
be taught and practiced under the
direction of expert scientific ag-
riculturists.
Governor Hay wants each boy
to be assigned a portion of the
farm with the clear understanding
that one-half of the gross products
belong to the boy, the money to go
to his own pocket, the other half
the governor estimates will more
than pay the entire running ex-
pense of the institution.
In addition, the boys will have
opportunity to secure work dur
ing harvest on other farms in the
neighborhood, where they can
make additional money.
Best of all the boys will be re-
moved from the bad environment
of the city.

by the indifference with which she had

in the lead. AS they rounded the point
she caught sight of the smoke still
rising from the cleft. A little later
she noticed the vultures which we're
streaming down out Of the sky from
all quarters other than seward. Their
focal point seemed to be the trees at
the foot of the cleft. A nearer view
showed that they were alighting in the
thorn bushes on the south border Of
the wood. .-..

seen until Miss Leslie, still In the

flesh which Blake handed him in turn
and fell 10 eating without further Ques-
tion. As ,Rlake had, surmised. the.
roast proved far other than tender.
Hunger, however. lent 1t a most ap-
petizing favor. The repast ended
when there was nothing left to devour.
Blake threw away his empty spit and
rose to stretch. He waited for Miss

and then began to chuckle.
