The second annual horse show, held
by the Walla Walla Livestock Asso-
citation, was a greater success than
the one preceding. Many fine horses
were entered in the parade, which
traversed the business thoroughfares
of the city. A large crowd witnessed
the parade. The entries consisted of
animals of all classes.

Boer war put the price of horses up,
and it has never since fallen, though
the demand has visibly declined. The
supply, it appears, has declined faster
than the demand. 1t looks as though
the horse breeders had anticipated
that the horse of the future is the gas
oline engine on wheels.

THE HORSE WILL REMAIN.

1t is frequently assumed that the
horse is doomed. Some think auto
mobiles will supplant him. Others
that racing restrictions will deal him
a deadly blow. Others that men are
losing interest in the species in the
charm of more rapid means of locomo-
ton.
But the chances are that when the
automobiles are much more generally
used, when racing is again a favor,
the horse will still be occupying the
prominent place that he now has in
the census returns, and that shows
will arise from time to time to do
honor to the finer breeds.
Just as the railroad and the horse,
the street cars and the horse, balloons
and the horse, have managed, through
all the e Of transportation to CO.
exist with common increase, so will
the automobile and the horse dwell
together in peace and amity, each in
a peculiar sphere.
At present, in the flush of admira-
ton for a great inventor, the peculiar
virtues of it's supposed rival are OBJ
served. Later, when people stop to
think about it they will realize that
no machine can supply the pleasure
that comes from the sense of a half
human com~panionship with the noble
servitor whose a pricks backward
to catch ones word and whose mar
velous and willing strength quivers
beneath one like a part of ones own
body.
The horse will always have a great
er human" interest. Suppose the
ride from Client to AK had been TAX
en- on a train, in a street car, in an
automobile, would it have been half SO
thrilling? Could any triumph of mech
anism have afforded the deep salts
faction felt in the struggle of that
glorious creature toward the goal? We
think not.
When all is said, it is flesh and
blood that chiefly move men. A horse
race pleases not only because the
horses go fast, but because they are
intelligent animals, in whose struggles
to excel we see something humanity
admirable. Their efforts are those of
conscious life, and thus kin to u
own. A fine horse is, in a way, a per-
sonality, and it has all the charm of
a magnificent and mysterious individ-
ual.
AS long as the horse continues to
supplement his unquestionable utility
with such additional charms we have
no fear of the species. The horses
days will be as long in the land as
they deserve to be. And that is very
long, indeed.-Chicago Inter-Ocean.

SAD FEATURE OF
 THE SHIPWRECK

Richmond, October 27.-John M. and R. R. Galloway of Glasgow, Scotland, were two of those who went down in the wreck of the steamer Mestia off the New Bruns- wick coast Monday. They were on their way to Virginia to join their brothers, Peter and David M. Galloway, now at Culpeper, Va, who arrived in America some two years ago.
 David M. Galloway came to this city to- day utterly ignorant of the fate of his brothers. The latter were twins and 1T years old. Their father is business man of Glasgow, who was anxious that all his sons should be established on farms in Virginia.
