money to Hazen, or a large part of 1t;
that he had thought or intended that
it should corrupt Howat and destroy
the unions: that he and those con-
spring with. him had paid Hazen at
least $7750 to give the testimony that
would have stamped Howat as q dis
honest man and a traitor to his fell
lows. The facts also developed at the
trial that Howat was an absolutely
square man to- himself, to the aged
mother who trusted him, and to the
thousands of miners and their fami-
lies who also trusted him. That
these miners believed in him even be-
fore the trial and the Judge and the
jury had proved his innocence was
shown by the fact that they re-
elected him by an increasing major
.ity to the presidency Of his district
after all tie false charges Of bribery
had been made. ,t"7 ~a .'n
Howat went before a jury of his
peers to satisfy President John p.

Hazen, used by the powerful Mr..
Keith and others to destroy the union
by secret corruption, never showed
his face in the court room. He was
in communications during the trial,

PATRIOTISM ExAMPLIFIED

Yesterday through the United States both in national and state affairs all business was set aside and patriotic exercises were held lauding the memory of George Wash ington, Father of his Countryn and the first President of the United States. The busniess men showed their patriotism by closing for the day or part of the day as the case happened to be, but how about the school. the public school where pat riotism is supposed to be instilled in the minds of the young by appro- priate exercises the day before the Anniversary? Take our local school where the children, "Young Ameri- cans," were in attendance receiving the usual instructions. From the standpoint of a spectator on the sidelines, can we truthfully say that the local school board was in unison with the patriotic feeling when they required these Young Americans to be on hand? Whether or not it is just or unjust criticism of the school officials it is nigh time to suggest to the school board and the instructors to set the twenty-second of February as day of veneration and respect to the memory of George Washington, for whom the federal government has set aside in particular, at which time we are to mediate and recall his valiant ef- fort in bringing about this glorious republic.

THE "CATALO" A NEW
 SOURCE OF MEAT FOOD

The "catalo," reared in the re- gions of Texas, sa hybrid of do- mestic cattle and the buffalo, and may assist in the solution of the problem which affects the supply of meat. The catalo thrives in arid countries, and is so hardy that he can live on pastures which would be poor picking for sheep, and his meat is said to be equal to the best of beef. The new species has really been established, and there are now a sufficient number of ca taloes to make it safe to prophecy that the new animal will play a leading part in the future food sup ply.
 The range is the natural habitat of the buffalo, and the catalo ap- pears to inherit from it's wild pro- genitors this love fthe open. Turn the catalo loose in summer and winter and it fattens much more fapidly than domestic cattle would in the same circumstance. The experiments by which breeders have finally produced the catalo are interesting. They have sue ceeded after many years of fruit less efforts, because the two men who were instrumental in discover ing the secret of a successful cross are wealthy as we'll as scientific, and grudged neither money nor trouble when it came to the possi- bility of establishing a new breed of domestic animals.
