HORSE DEALERS EXPERIENCE

Geo. E. Mason is one Of the best
known and largest Of dealers in hors-
es in the country. He is located at
the Union Stock yards, Chicago, ard
supplies many of the great business
corporations Of the city with ncrses.
No man is better qualified to give
facts touching the trend OF the in
dustry than one in Mr.. Mason's posi-
ton, and in a plain, Understandable
and authentic manner he does SO. We
take his story on the subject from the
Illinois Horseshoer for January Some
Of the statements made by the author
were published ii the daily press
months ago in way that was dlrect-
" opposite the the truth, as for IN
stance the one concerning tie Payine-

and adopting motor trucks and wag-
ons for their use. The story publish
ed herewith gives the lie to the before
published statements which, of course.
eminated from truck interests. Here
is Mr.. Masoa's review Of the subject
as it touches affairs in Chicago.
81 am writing to tell you something
that should have been told ten years
ago. The automobile people have al
most advertised horsemen out of ex-
istence, and it shows the power OF
when they have even made
farmers and breeders believe in the
decline Of the horse.
Zone half of the Saturday Evening
Post IS given over to automobile ad-
vcrtisements and auto accessories.

servation. You have all seen that
picture of an automobile pulling a
big load through the snowstorm and
horses falling down by the wayside.
.You all know that this is contrary
to the truth, because an automobile
is almost useless in snow or ice.
"Another instance: / talked with a
Canadian soldier a year ago, and ms
story has since been verified by re-
turned soldiers, and he said that our
bows would have starved over in
France but for the horse. Hundreds
and hundreds Of automobiles with food
supplies were stuck in the mud. You
all know what happens to automobll-
es on muddy roads, They had to hitch
horses to the machines and haul
thousands to the front.
1.-TWO years ago during the big snow
storm in Chicago, the Chicago Trib-
une' had 81 horses working and not
one of them fell down. They had rs
automobiles, and not one of them
turned a wheel for five days, and
three of them were completely lost
in the snow drifts for three days.
But this was all suppressed, because
the automobile people spend Sl00,0OO
in advertising where horsemen spend
niekle, and none Of the papers dar-
ed mention this.
ut is an actual fact that anybody
can deliver Is per cent to 40 per cent
cheaper with horses than machines
within radius of five miles OF
man. business. Depreciation and up
keep eat them up. You can buy five
good chunks at an average OF $40
apiece, weighing 1900 pounds, and at
the end year four out five Will be
worth more than you paid for them,
allowing one horse off for death, ac~
cident or depreciation. Fifteen per
cent a year is all it is necessary to
mark off on a horses depreciation.
"Try to sell your auto truck at the
end of the year for cash, not IN trade.
For $4,000 car you are lucky If
you can get $500. The depreciation
on tractor is three times as much
as on horse.
"The average life of a horse in the
city is eight years; then he sells for
an average of one-fifth of the original
cost as a plug.
"You might think | am biased be-
cause | have been in the horse bus
mess all my life. To prove to the
contrary, j am a director in the Hi
nois Automobile Club and am chair
man of the booster committee.
Owe must educate the farmers TO
breed better horses. It costs no more
to raise good horse than it does
scrub.
"They will need horses long after
we are gone, and, mark my word, you
men will regret inside of six months
that you didn't raise more good colts,

HAWKS REPORT
To the Members of the A. S. of E..
Of Pierce County and Others.
(From the Spring Valley Sum

At our last annual meeting ! was
appointed as committee OF one to
investigate the liability of the mem
bership of our organization, which |
have done, and find that in an I'M
chartered partnership like our A..
S. of E. of this state, each individual
member is liable for the actions OF It's
board of directors. At least three OF
our board of directors, | understand,
are absolutely irresponsible financial
", whether otherwise qualified or not,
but / have more faith in them than
great many have. | hardly think they
will run away with the whole state IN
a wear. But there ought to be some
way found so that those who do not
absolutely fall in with them can know
at all times the financial condition
of the treasury.
If they saw fit to get their heads
together, their bank account to which
they so often refer might show IL to
Is thousand dollars while their bills
payable to officers, organizers and ex-
pense, might reach twice that amount
and in such case we all or any one
would be holding for that amount.
Now | hardly think this will occur,
but Judging from the Juggling in the
past it is all right to keep our eyes
open. This is a strange state OF al
fairs. The side who opposed Mr..
Tiitemore in any way can have moth
ing to say about the way things are
run. All they can do is to keep pay
ing in their money into the treasury
and if they (the powers that be- see
fit they can use it as a club to brain
you.
| am a slayer and for the sake OF
the organization am willing to take
my chances. / can't believe that these
men are real crooks and if there are
any | believe there are enough
straight ones to take at least some OF
| the kinks out of them. / would not
| advise holding back dues for If you
do you will lose your membership anc
| then you can never help to right the
wrongs if any should occur and divls'
| ion of our organization would kill ant
sink into Oblivion all the work the
noble toilers of the past have glver
for this grand cause. If things 60
wrong I think they can be righted a
the next state meeting and If things
go all right, well and good. We cal
help the cause along.
In conclusion let me say l attend

might help to solve some of the prob
lens of the hour. / don't know wha

the result will be. 1t rather looks to
me as though both sides We're calling
for an investigation and neither want
ed it. However, | may be mistaken,
hope ! am. Some resolutions were
adopted which ! opposed; that thot
were absurd and childlike for men to
consider. Other work was done in a
right direction and hope that out Of
the meeting may come a great deal
Of good.
We called for a full and complete
investigation Of the affairs of the
State and National organization
which hope we may get in justice
to all.

NEW YORK, March 5.--Addtions to
yesterdays gains were quite general at
the opening Of today's stock market,
although the rise was again mainly con-
fined to oils, motors, shippings and
high-priced specialties. The movement
was attended by another advance in
foreign exchange preliminary questions

from $3.50 to 1888, against yesterdays
maximum of $3.5S. Advances of to 3
points marked the early dealings in
Mexican and Pan-American Petroleums,
Texas Company, General Motors, Ma
rine preferred and Canadian Pacific.
Profit taking reduced many of these
gains within the first half hour.
Trading slackened at midday but
gains Of the morning were largely held,
shippings proving the only noteworthy
exceptions. Further strength of mo-
tors and accessories was accompanied
by an increased dividend for Chandler

of motor tires.
