TUNITY TO RAISE
WELL-bRED HORSES
To Meet the Enormous Increas-
ed Demand in Europe-The
Countries Now at War Pos
sess Total of Nearly 100000
900 Horses, but Loss Is Ire
mendous

Washington. Oct 7.-During the next
decade there will probably be an in
creased demand for American horses in
the countries now engaged in the Euro
pean war The demand may even con-
tinue much longer, according to investi-
gators of the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture. as not only will horses be need
ed for armies, but when peace is re-
stored more will be needed for agricul-
ture. Already European agents are said
to be endeavoring to purchase horses in
this country and Canada. and there is an
increased interest in many sections in
horse breeding.
To meet this increased European de-
mand American farmers may we'll en-
deavor to raise well-bred horses, although
the Department of Agriculture does not
advise them to purchase a surplus of
horses merely for breeding purposes. 1t
merely advises that ordinary farm work
should be done whenever possible by good
mares which should be bred to good stall
lions. It also desires to emphasize the
fact that only horses of high quality may
be proftably raised today. Inferior horses
duction is to be discouraged as much as
the production of good horses should be
encourag ed.
The United States has previously been
drawn on to supply European countries
at war. In the Boer war over 100000
horses were bought here by the British
government. 1t may be doubted whether
foreign government could now obtain
a similar supply in this country, except
at excessive cost. However, if farmers
take pains to utilize their good mares
during this winter to breed them to good
stations in the, course of several years
ttime enough for the foals to develop,
America will be better able to meet the
European demand.
1t is natural that European countries
should look to the United States for
horses, as next to Russia it has more of
these animals than any other country in
the world. The United States and Rus
STA possess 5Sq6 of the world supply.
Strange to say, however, there were no
horses originally on our continent and
the present supply comes from stock
brought over from Europe. Canada's
War as Consumer of Horses.
The German army requires for a COM
plete mobilization 10000 horses and the
French army is said to require 10000,
which figure, however, probably includes
only those for the cavalry. 1t is con-
servatively estimated on good authority
that 100000 horses are now engaged in
the European war. AS the great majority
Of these horses are not included in the
permanent military organization but are
used for farm work and are requisitioned
by governments only when needed for
military purposes. the countries of conti-
mental Europe will certainly face an
acute shortage of farm horses before the
next planting season which will seriously
affect the price of horses the world over,
as soon as peace is declared.
According to the best information
horses in the countries of Europe now at
war number as follows:

Will The Public Forget.

Editorial from the Madison, Wis.
State Journal, OF Sept. y.
Young men just entering life
with ideals high often wonder
why men in Office yield so easily
to private pressure; why a cor
poration an interest" can so
readily shove the public welfare
aside.
The explanation is that while
the interest remembers, the
public forgets. The official who
fights for an interest" has a
Dacker always in reserve.
The official who fights the in
terest" in the interest of Smith
and Brown is sure of a powerful
and relentless enemy, but is not
SO sure of Smith and Brown.
We are likely, this fall, to see
this old truth once more illustra-
ted.
Certain men in Congress who
have been brave and aole fight
ers for the common good who
have hit privilege hard, have
been marked for slaughter.
Knowing that the folks are off
guard because thinking so much
about the war, the gang" is out
10 get" these "disturbers.
Macdonald of Michigan, who
baret the Mullhall lobby and
stood by the copper miners, is
one, Heating, of Colorado, is an
other-the Rockefeller tribe is
after him in war paint.
Maybe these Congressman will
lose, we hope not. but maybe
they will-they surely will unless
the folks wake up. What then?
Should a defeat or two cause all
proeressives to lay down? We
guess not! To ask such a ques-
tin is to answer it.
The tides of politics, as of war,
ebb and flow, but a fight for the
right is never lost. There will
come a tomorrow.
Besides, an honest man does
not fight wholly for success. He
fights because his conscience
would not let him be comfortable
il he betrayed even a careless
constituency.
Still we ought to stand by Con-
gressmen who stand by us. See
that you do.
We believe that the people of
Colorado will stand by MI. Keat-
ing and elect him again, although
the money power is working hard
against him. He has done every
thing in his power to help the
laboring classes Of this state. and
for that reason the money pow
er wants to see him 'ousted."

RELIEF FOR PROSPECTORS
That the Forestry Service is
being moved by the same liberal
Izlng spirit is evidenced by the
following letter which | have re-
ceived from the Chief Forester.
It should bring joy to the heart
Of every prOSpector.
my DEAR Mr.. KEATING:
The idea that prospecting and
locating of mining claims cannot
De carried on in the National For
eStS except under hamperlng con-
ditlons imposed by Forest Off
GERS. has been widely circulated
in parts of the West especially
in Colorado.
Under the law, mineral lands
within the Forests are subject to
prospecting, location and entry
precisely as they are in the unre-
served public domain. Prospect
ors are at liberty to go on the
National Forests at their pleas
ure, and to locate claims without
any permit whatever from For
est Officers.
No examination of a mining
claim is made unless patent Is
applied for or it is Thought it is
not held for mining purposes,
and is actively interfering with
the administration of the Forest,
for instance. locations are some
times made on non-mineral land
which is covered with a heavy
stand of timber which is involved
In timber sale, or land on which
water hole is located which fur
nishes the only water tor stock
in that locality and therefore
controls the ranges.
Adverse reports on mining
claims are never based on exam
nations made by rangers, but al
ways on the reports OF mineral
examiners who have qualified by
both training and experience to
pass on the questions which must
be decided in order to determine
whether there has been compli-
ance with the requirements of
the mining law.
''The Forest Service is hearth
ly in favor of the development of
the mineral resources within the
! National Forests, and is interest
ed equally with the mining indus

ed up. Under Roosevelt the
land, had been withdrawn from
entry and no one connected with
Taft's adm nistration possessed
either tile desire or the ability to
formulate constructive policy
which would safeguard the lands
from monopoly and at the same
time give the people access to
their riches.
Wilson realized that the prob.
lem of pltting every portion OF
the public domain to it's most
beneficial use was one of the i'm.
porbant tasks awaiting his ad-
ministration and he selected
giant to perform the work.
Next to Wilson and Bryan.
franklin X. Lane; Secretary of
the Interior. is the biggest man
C )nnected with this administra-
ton. He is the best friend the
West ever has had in the Inter-
.iOr department since Henry M.
Teller quilted president Arthur's
cabinet in 1885.
Lane is a Western man and he
is in close touch and sympathy
with Western aspirations and
ideals. In considering his work.
however, we must remember
that he has had Congress to deal
with. There are 495 members
of the House and only 81 are
from the public land states.
Ninety per cent of the members
from the East and South-wtihout
regard to party affiliations-would
O lt-Pinchot, Pinchot if given
fee hani to deal with the public
d ,main. The features of the
nd legislation enacted by the
or .sent congress would never
have squeezed through the House
lC had not been for the efforts
of Name, supported by the Presi
dent.
SOME THINGS ACCOM-
PLISHED.
Let's consider what has been
done in less than two years: The
Reclamation Service has been
recognized AMI work is being
energctically pushed on the
every project. The time Of pay
ment for water has been extern
ded from ten to twenty years
without interest. The land own
ners have been afforded ample
opportunity to prese mt their
grievance and most of the
kicks" have been disposed of.
In the San Luis valley
thorough survey is being made
with view to the construction Of
drainage system which will re-
deem an empire. The coal, oil
and asphaltum lands and water
power sites are to be thrown
open for dcyelonent o. reasol-
able terms. aud under conditions
which renders monopoly imposi-
BILE and the resultant revenue is
to be turned over to the Re cla-
mation fund to build new pro-
jects and eventually fifty per
cent of it is to find its way into
the states treasures. OF course
most of us from the west feel
that these natural resources
could be administrated by the
federal government. on the.
other hand, the Eastern and
Southern conservationists insist
that the public domain should be
made to produce great revenue
for the federal government, and
that the state should not receive
a cent of the golden harvest.
The bills as they finally went
through the House represented
t e best compromise we could
s cure.
The coal leasing bill provides
that any Western municipality
may secure 100 acres Of coal to
its own citiz ms at cost.

The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1914-02-20
No Bridge Across ICicIe This Year

County Commissioner Matt Hickey
was in Leavenworth Tuesday. He
called on the Echo and in relation to
the bridge across the Icicle river which
it had been the purpose Of the COM
missioners 10 authorize constructed
this winter and spring he said it was
found impossible for the reason that it
had been the purpose Of the court to
use one span OF the iron bridge now
in place near Cashmere by causing a
heavier bridge to be constructed there
where the traffic is very heavy, but
that at the January meeting it was
found impossible in the present con-
dition Of the road and bridge fund to
build the heavy bridge at Cashmere.
He said, however, that by another
year it would be possible to carry out
the plan of the court. He said he re-
gretted to have to announce this fact
but it could not be avoided.
