a team, by dropping down on the front
of the sled. He missed his footing and
fell directly in front of the sled. The

meath the sled sustaining only a few
bruises. MIR. Bailey was dragged 10 feet

ST. CROIN STATION.

London, March 25th-Early on Saturday
morning, the House of Commons passed the
Governments Minimum Wage Bill through
committee stage practically i'll its original
form, all important amendments being either
rejected or withdrawn, and adjourned till to-
day, following Sir Edward Grey's suggestion
that the interval would afford an opportuni-
tv for the owners and miners to reach IN
agreement obviuting the necessity for legis-
latiou. Mr.. Ramsay Macdonald accepted on
behalf of the Miners Federation. A confer
ence of owners and miners has been summon
Ell for to-day, and the result Will decide
whether work will be resumed with Legislation
OF with agreed legislation or whether the
Government will protect strike breakers
under practically martial law. The House of
Commons has seldom experienced SO many
thrilling moments and Kaleidoscope changes
of the situation as in Fridays long session.
Possibly the most remarkable incident was
Mr.. Asquitk's masterly leadership, in reliance
upon Sir Edward Grey and Lord Loreburn
and the silence of Mr.. Lloyd George.
The Government was firm although seven
Mn .sters were elected by miners votes

The Chairman had previously mentioned
that he was himself already q member of the

3. AS members of the Electoral Boards the

4. The Governor introduced the question
of the fee for storage at Christiansted Gus
tom House.
Member Schneider asked what delay was
to he allowed before the storage fee was to
be reckoned. The Governor replied: Three
times "a hours. Member Schneider pointed
out that it sometimes happened that u mer-
chant did not receive his invoices till the
arrival of the next mail, ana he thought 2 or
B weeks should be allowed. The Governor
said the question was left with the Council.
After a short discussion it was agreed to
allow 2 weeks, to which the Governor agreed.
The result is that after ii days storage,
goods lodged in the Custom House at Chris
tiansted will pay a fee of 5 Bit per cubic
foot per mouth, the amount to be payable at
the time the duty is paid on the goods III

Z. The Budget for the new financial year,
commencing on the 1st prox. was passed,
after some amendments proposing seniority
allowances for Policemen, certain Prison
officials and Hospital nurses, had been pre-
viously passed. These amendments were
explained by the Governor.
The Chairman said that the Revenue side
of the Budget showed a total of Frcs 761,

DO sible. When a loft is to be made
overhead the ceiling and loft floor
should be very tight so as to allow no
dust to fall through. The ceiling
should be about eight or nine feet
high, the stalls about four feet, six
inches long, by three feet six inches
wide, and the gutter at least six in
ches deep and Is or more wide.
Plenty OF room between the gutter
and the side wall will prevent the
walls from becoming splattered with
manure, and if the COWS are faced
out, fairly large feeding alley will
be desirable. About five or six feet is
about right for this. For full in

Question: Would like to get a
system of feed manger that would do
away with the stanchion. What
could 1 get to serve the purpose? F.
w. L., Camano, Wash.
Answer: The swing stancbion ad
justed so that it allows the cow to
swing her head forward or backward
and also turn her head to the sides is
probable the best Improvement over
the fashioned rigid stanchion.
The frame work to which the swing
neck piece is fastened by means of
chains can be made of either wood or
piping. The latter being perhaps the
more sanitary and obstructs the least
light. The complete stall with a
chain behind to fasten the COWS has
given fair satisf action, and we think
it is good if the stall is made to fit
the size OF the COW.

acre, which is less than surrounding
land is being held at without the i'm
provements carried by The Meadows
There are several bond issues to
come up before the voters at the
November election more or less wor-
thy. Of all of these we believe the
county will get the most for it's
money, and the most lasting good, by
the purchase of these grounds. The
city of Seattle is constantly growing
and the land is just outside of the
city limits. The big Duwamish i'm
provement, which will now go for
ward passes directly by these grounds.
The land will increase in value every
year and the county will make no
mistake in the purchase.
If King county is to have an annual
fair it must obtain permanent grounds
for good buildings should not be
erected on leased property, New
buildings are necessary for the use
of the fair. The stock barns should
be moved over near the entrance as
they are too far away and resulted in
considerable criticism at the last fair.
The trustees have in mind plans which
will make this if purchased by the
county, the finest fair grounds west
of the Mississippi river. The objec-
ton will be raised that the amount
of money is too great. When it is
considered that if another site was
attempted to be bought, it would be
found that no site having railroad
facilities could be had for less than
one thousand dollars an acre and
improvements were made it would be
found that nearly as much money had
been expended as is asked for The
Meadows, and the location would not
be as good. The holding of the fair
in September has demonstrated that
the farmers of King County will sup
port fair, and all that is needed to
get greater interest in the city is to
know that the fair is to be a perma-
nent event.
