Motors DispIselns Horses In
Industry.

The March Of modernism, fastened
BY the World WARM the rapid devop-
ment of tractors, heavy trucks and
other motor-driven apparatus, ia dis
placing horses as beasts Of burden.
The number of horses in the country
has decreased 5, 900, 900 in less than ten
years. figures complied at the Agricul-
ture Department showed today. In
1915 there we're more than 81 4, 1876. 900
horses in the country, while today
there are only Is, us, 600.
Early development of the motor car
and trucks did not cause depletion in
the number of horses, statistics show
ed. In 1900 there were l3,53S, 900
horses In the country, worth s44.6l
each. Demands for stock caused
breeders to stimulate the industry and
the peak was finally reached in 1915,
when horses we're worth Sl20. 20 apiece
When the war ended tie live stock
industry slunped and the number Of
animals declined in 1920 te 10, ice, 900,
with value OF S96.5l each. Each
succeeding year the number of horses
has declined and officials of the depart
ment pr dicted that the decrease would
continue for several years at least
~ the same time meteor trucks and
tractors increased in number until
there are nov more than 100000 on
farms.
Mules, huwever have steadily in
creased in number, but not rapidly
enough to take the place of horses. 10
1906 thel e were 3. 404 900 mules in the
couatry, and ten years ago 4,79s 600.
Today the department estimated there
were 5, $50, 900 mules and mule colts on
farms.
In Texas, mules have taken over
much OF the work that had to be done
by horses. There we're l, 052, 600 mules
in the Stste on farms the first of the
year and only S21 900 horses.
Iowa, with l lac, 900 horses leads the
country in the number OF horses on
farms; Illinois is second, with gS5, 900,
and Kansas third, with s96, 900. Mis-
souri, has JS2, 900 mules and Tennessee
355, 900.
Officials said that farmers, with
trucks and tractors, can now cover five
times the ground 10 one day that
could be covered by horses and mules

FISH CREEK co.
 WILL INSTALL TRAM

Construction oi an ore tram way from Fish Creek to the Riverside mine for the purpose of transporting ore to the Riv- eraide mill for concentration is reliably reported to be aa outstanding feature of the summer development program of the American Mining x Milling Company, successor to the former Fish Creek Min ing Company.
 Partial confirmation of the report has been received locally from several disinter- ested sources. As all are in agreement regarding the main details, as outlined above, there is little reason to doubt it's authenticity. One we'll known local mining man who is in a position to know the in- side facts, writes to a local friend to the effect that he is personally aware that the A. M. & M. Co has decided upon the tram construction and has also concluded arrange ments with J. D. Littlepagt for handling the ore at the Riverside mill.
 The tram project is said by those acquainted with the To- cality to involve about mile of line, the Fish Creek prop. critics being located only d short distance south east of the Riverside and separated from the latter property by a low divide.
 Surface operations on the Fish Creek group in earlier years disclosed large bodies ot ore which are said to be of excellent milling grade and ii is believed that these will be extracted and milled. It is also indicated that the company plans to extend the main tun- mel, on which considerable work was done two years ago by the Silverman interests, to cut the surface showings at depth. The tunnel is now in several hundred feet and must be extended approximately a thousand feet to get under the main showing.

FOREST SERVICE
 CONSIDERING WAGON
 BRIDCE-TEXAS CREEK

s. J. Wykoff, forest ranger, and Ray Taylor, a technician of the U. s. Forest Service, ar rived from Ketchikan on the Forest Service Motorboat No. 1 shortly before noon Wednes- day, for the purpose of look ing over the local trails in con- nection with trail work during the coming summer and also to examine the possibilities for constructing the proposed upper Texas Creek bridge.
 MT. Wykoff informed the Herald that the latter propos- al has reached a stage of de- velopment where the Forest Servce is considering the in- stallation of a wagon bridge across the north fork of Texas Creek, at some as yet undeter- mined point between Texas Glacier and the mouth of the west fork of Texas Creek. It is also proposed to widen the lower Texas Creek trail into a horse trail between the Salmon River road and the new bridge.
 Asked as to why it was pro- posed to build a wagon bridge without wagon road con- nections with the main high way, Mr. Wykoff said that the installation of a pack trail was the best that could be done. Forest Service activities in this respect are devoted to trail and bridge construction, road construction work in forest areas being delegated to the Bureau of Public Roads. He said it was realized that a wagon road was desirable but the trail could be widened later and in the mean time the horse trail would make Texas section somewhat easier of access to miners and freighters.
 In addition to the bridge and trail activities outlined above, the Forest Service con- templates doing some main tenance work on the Texas trail during the open season.
 MT. Wykoff is no stranger to the Texas Creek section hav- ing visited this locality two years ago. He plans to leave for the proposed bridge site Thursday in company with T. H. Evans local representative of the Bureau of Public Roads, and later expects to go over whole Texas trail with a view to possible improvements and also to acquire information relative to the district and its mineral producing possi- bilities. He will remain for several days before returning to his headquarters at Ketchi- han
