An indication of the decreasing value
of horses is seen in the proposition
to remove all such range animals
from the Santa Rosa forest reserve,
by killing or otherwise. Having been
bred up and handled more or less,
theSs horses are not Of the same
clasB as the wild animals of the
Bloody Run coutry. They range on
the hills continuously. At the low
price at which horses are selling it
does not pay to gather and ship them
and some of the larger companies
have stated that they were willing for
anyone to come and take their horses
off the reserve for good. The In
dians hereabouts are very much in
| terested and through their local
chief, Frank Crutcher, are trying to
get definite permission to kill some
| for the hides and capture the best
ones to break.
| AS result of the school meeting
held Friday evening, mandamus
action will be started in the district
court by the people against the Para

election held some time ago, at whi
| proposed bonds in the sum of $4,000
were carried. A general discussion
of the costs and needs of the high
school was entered into at the meet
| ing, and committee of citizens was
appointed consisting of H. X. Har-
vey, F. b. Stweart and John FOrgnone
to represent the larger taxpaying in
terests in this matter. The meeting
| then adjourned to the Hard Times
ball and thus the people descended
from a discussion of thousand dollar
| finances. to the poverty of a rag and
| tatters dance.
