COUNTY ATTORNEY
MAKES CLEANING
Official Went to Welch to Attend Fun
eral But Turned Trip Into
a General Raid.

From Mondays Daily
County Attorney Brady went to
Welch yesterday to attend the funeral
of Mrs Granvil Craig, and before he
returned had single-handed, raided
two gambling joints, taken possession
of their paraphernalia and arrested
four men, whom he turned over to the
city marshal of Welch.
A woman came to Mr.. Brady with
the complaint that on Saturday night
her husband had been enticed into a
gambling den and had come home
drunk and dead broke. She had To-
Gated the place and listened to the
voices inside, but of course had been
denied admittance.
After the funeral was over on Sun
day afternoon, Mr.. Brady took the
warpath.
Listening outside the door, he heard
one man say, "I1l bet you ten"
plank it down." was the reply. Ten
silver dollars clinked against each
other as they were counted out. Nov
! it's a showdown"
1t was, indeed. But it was the
county attorneys hand which took
the trick. His foot, rather, for stood
back few feet from the door and
gave running jump and kick which
broke the lock and threw the door
wide open.
The gamblers scurried to get their
money into their pockets. One man
hastily threw his money, his cards and
his bottle of whiskey down onto his
chair and sat down on them-hard.
The county attorney gathered in the
men and locked the door on the stuff.
The room had all the equipment OF q
regular gambling joint. Padded table,
cards, dice, whiskey bottles and all.
On the way to the station one of the
men demonstrated with the county
attorney. "Say, Brady, that was a
blankety-blanked mean trick. Don't
you know that we helped to elect

Cant help it." was Brady's reply
."You ought not to have elected me il

Give Goldfish Shade.

A friend was showing me her col
lection of goldfish the other day
with great pride. The tiny fish
were darting about here and there
IN the clear water, and, then resting
for awhile, they found life very
pleasant.
Some people do not seem to re-
alize that it is positive cruelty to
keep these fish in an open vessel
without any shade.
Fish have no lids to shield their
eyes, as we have, and so cannot en-
dure a bright light. They suffer
greatly if entirely exposed, as is
evident from the way in which they
dash around and around. sometimes
until they are fairly worn out.
Shade can easily be provided by
placing growing plants, dense
enough to shelter the fish, near the
globe in which they are kept or by
placing a grotto of rocks in the
aquarium Observation-Disclosures In

STOCK TRADERS CANE.
4 Stick or Whip Always Carried In
the Cattle Yards.


To live stock trader a cane or
a whip is as essential as uniform
is to soldier. One or the other
always is carried by regular traders
in the stockyards. A prospective
cattle buyer usually buys cane be-
fore he enters the pens. A trader
would no more think of going to
work without his cane than he
would without his hat.
In many cases the whips and
canes are of great service. When
the cattle are turned into an alley
to be sorted and some obstreperous
animal takes header for the gate
keeper the means of turning the an
imal is blow across the head,
usually intended to catch him Just
above the nostrils. Sometimes a
heavy blow from cane brings him
to his knees, but in many cases it
takes only the sting of lash to
turn him. Some Of the most stub
born steers run regular gantlet
OF canes, clubs and whips and are
not stopped until some one ssgets a
gate on him." the yard way Of ex
pressing the closing Of gate across
the alley down which the animal is
headed.
The regulation traders cane is
made of hickory, with large
curved handle, and weighs about
twenty-four ounces. The surface is
smooth and unvarnished. Some of
thecanes have been in use constantly
for ten years. blackberry, dogwood,
elm, oak, maple and ash are the
other kinds of wood used to make
this class Of canes. They cost from
25 to 80 cents each.
Whips of all kinds are seen. A
few weeks ago a four plait hickory
bark whip, the kind that has to be
left in the dew overnight to keep
it pliable, stung the backs of some
frightened cattle as they ran along
the viaduct. Many high priced bug
gy whips are used, but the bulk Of
them cost only from rs cents to 81.
A few regular heavy cattle whips
are seen, though they are not liked
by cattlemen, as heavy blow leaves
a large welt. Rope and one lash
leather whips are common. In
some cases short strap nailed to a
long stick is used.
The best sheep and hog whip is
a piece of canvas hose, meshed to a
flat surface and attached to a piece
OF wood about fourteen inches long.
When this strikes an animal it
makes plenty of noise, but leaves no
bruise.
Many times cattle are uselessly
beaten by some one who is in hur-
ry. The rule, however, is not to
leave any kind of mark or bruise, as
buyers look closely for such spots.
When whips or canes are broken
they generally are thrown to the
ground, and the yard company gath
ers them up with the other refuse.
About thirty. whips and twenty
canes are abandoned each day at
the yards.-Kansas City Star.

PINCHDT ROW
A Succinct Statement Of Points at
Issue.


But what would happen if Con-
gress refused to take any action on
the water power problem at this
session, but put the whole matter
up to the States7 Well, Oregon
would not lose anything. excepting
perhaps to have present develop
ment delayed a little, for Oregon
has at least the beginning Of a
modern water law. Blu, the other
States of the Northwest? Itwould
likely mean that all Of the power
sites that have been ]aboriously
Withdrawn by Garfield and Roose-
velt and Ballinger and Taft would
be released. A Roosevelt admins
tration might not release these
power sites, for it is believed that
the "public-weHare" clause in the
Constitution justified any action,
IN the interest Of the whole people,
that was not expressly forbidden.
The Taft administration says that
such a withdrawal can be only
temporary for the Taft admins
tration believes that it should act
only as commanded by the law.
These divergent Taft. Roosevelt
policies are typifed in tile Ballin-
ger P;nchot controversy, which,
then, is just this: Pinehot, by
temperament and training, is 4
scientist, an observer, an cute
doors man, and prophet: He IS
constrained to take the extreme,
the broad view, when tile public
resources are at stake; and in the
interest of conservation lie is Wills
ing to interpret the law in the
interest OF the people and to do
anything that the law t'docs not
forbid" Ballinger is an inside
man, an Office executive, a busi-
ness man. Acts, resources, and
policies are naturally judged by
their present cash value. For
example, if a man wants to de-
velop waterfall, it is incidental
whether the franchise is for forty
years or for eternity. The point
is to get it developed, to put it to
work now-at once. As the busi-
ness man executive head Of the
Interior Department, Ballinger be-
lieves that his duty is performed
when he has done what the law
commands. Thus, is the breach
between Pinchot and Ballinger,
and thus is the effect that would
result if the unqualified State con-
troll water policy were followed in
the Northwest just at this time.
