CAVALRY HORSES.

So much attention has been paid to dustry in this country during the past decade that the horse has been some what neglected. In the midst of war attention is called to the lack of cav now deplore the lack of breeding which has brought about a dearth of these horses. It is not too late to remedy the conditions prevalent in the kingdom of the horse.
 In many parts of the country there is an added interest taken in horse manship, all of which augurs well for the future of the horse. With renewed interest in the sport of racing breed CTS will soon he able to furnish the Governmcnt with the proper horses for the cavalry and other branches of the service. The army mule. an Amer ican idea. has been brought to the highest state of development. The army horse has likewise been bred with the utmost care. but his number has materially fallen away.
 Here then is a great opportunity for those who have in the past been am- bilious to enter the business of breed ing horses. The vast lands of the South and the Southwest recently thrown open to the public by the Gov ernment should furnish at least a small means of reha bilitating the horse t6 his former prestige and glory. The United States Government has al- ready established stock farm of it's own on the soil of Virginia, not far outside the city of Washington. D.

 To the Editor of the Herald; ~e z
 While inefficierfcy of street railway employees is still fresh in the public mind please allow me, space to call attention to a glaring case of@deliber-. ate disregard of the welfare. of pas- sengers oh the part of the crew for Arch street. leaving Central park at s:o7 tonight (Monday).
 A White haired lady. whose sight was impaired and who appeared to be at least seventy years of age,. entered the car at Central park and requested the conductor to stop at Minor &stCor- bins box shop on Arch street. The conductor transmitted the request to the motorman while the latter was raising the semaphone signal at the South Congregational church. MT. Motorman grumbled something about stopping at the next stop" and the conductor offered no rem Onstrance. True to his .&word, the motorman did stop at t1 E next stop, West Pearl street several hundred feet beyond the spot at which the aged woman de- sired to leave the car. It is true that the motorman was under no obliga- ton, other than moral, to stop at the box shop for the accom- odation of his aged passenger. Courtesy alone would have required him to be ac- commo modating but courtesy is a word unknown to the majority of trolley

A SOLDIERS MUSCLES MUST not only be strong-they must be elastic. He must be prepared to run, to jump, to crawl, to wriggle, to shoot or to handle the bayonet from the
 most unexpected positions. That is why he is put through the setting up exercises. By bending. thrusting with his arms and legs, raising himself from the floor, his body is made ath- letic and supple for every demand which may be imposed upon 1t. Mill itary discipline begins with the muscles. must pc imparted to the nerves, and become i'm bedded in the
 brain.
 A rounded shoulder is a slack rope.
 The soldier whose body sags out of
 shape spends almost as much energy
 in pulling himself together as he does in the specified motion itself. On the
 other hand the man whose muscles are disciplined is at q balance. ready at once to respond to any command from the brain. When mans
 muscles are soft, they sullenly resent all orders from the brain. They have
 not learned to obey.
 The nerves must be even more strictly disciplined. For even if a sol dier's muscles are trained to execute any order he receives. if his nerves run away with him, good legs only carry. him faster. And discipline of the mind is most important of all, for the mind administrates through the nerves.
 A disciplined mind will think pre- cise,y. That why military training requires that a soldier speak pre- cisely. That is why military training

oREGoS-caLrroRs1A LAND CASE


 Away back in the Sixties the United States Government granted certain lands in the great Northwestern country to the railroads then opening up that territory. These grants were given with the understanding that the land be purchased by the railroads at $2.5O an acre; that the railroads re- sell the land to settlers at the same price: that in the event of mineral discovery the land should revert to the Federal Government
 The railroads sold the land in ques- tion to those early settlers who wended their way west after the ad- vice of Horace Greeley: but the rail- roads. in most cases, collected more than $2.5O an acre for the land. When the railroads found tracts of land that contained valuable mineral deposits they saw that these lands were kept under the careful fingers of the corporations. Those who held title to any such lands did so in trust for the com panies.
 Yesterday tho United States Su- prcme Court decided that the Pacific roalroads have violated their original contract with Uncle Sam and that l these valuable land grants must be l turned over to the Government. In Oregon and Washington the Govern ] ment will retain 2.s00.ooo. acres ol 1 land valued at $So.000,00O: That is l tho value today. Experts. agree tha' 1 eventually this land will possess ; value. of almost one billion dollars
 Any land the railroads are allowed tt 1 hold will yield. it's timber and mineTA 1 wealth to the people of the United 1 States, not to the corporations. =

TO bring out che fact that two ballots in
which the straight republican ticket
had peen voted and some of the demo-
cratic candidates had been vOte5i for
had been thrown out by the election
board, Mr.. Ives objected and was sIls-
hined. 1t was then announced that Mr..
Stratton would be put on for the con-
testee.
The next witness for the contestant
was Mrs. Adele Kharsener vino said
that she went to the polls accompanied
by her sister, Mrs Carrie Flake, Wife
of John T. Flake. a brother Of James

There was another man in the room
and the door was closed between the
two rooms. He did not know who closed
