Arthur, Texas, it might find how odd is the
number Of tankers that clear for some innocu-
GUS port in Europe, but which almost invariably
land alongside the docks in Vigo, Spain, with
all hands receiving an attractive $50 bonus.
Carry Gasoline to Spain n
vigo is quite fairsized town and it boasts
a United States Consul. He sees these United
States ships arrive, unload their gasoline to help
prolong spain's bitter war-so at least the State
Department in Washington must be wise to this
"under-cover" trade in other peoples misery
and death. The State Department originated
the Spanish Embargo Act in the name of neu-
trality!
I wonder how the operators Of these vessels
cover their insurance on voyages like this? I
wonder what would happen if one of these United
States ships were blown up by a pirate sub
marine or bombed by a pirate seaplane? I
wonder if you'd hear anything about it at all?
wonder If Congress knows Of this sucker.ride
that 1t is being taken for so neatly and quietly?
Lastly, 7 wonder If the Government will do
anything to blow the lid off this unsavory pot

their own risk and can expect no help from the
people Of the United States if they lose ship?

But the school needs more than new buildings.
DR.. Smith should have been given staff which
would have realized the District has a compulsory

."ToO Human" to Her Wards
DR.. Smiths methods of discipline were not ap-

courage them to become trustworthy and useful

have thoroughly checked on DR.. Smiths past
record in Baltimore with the finest people over
there, and her character Is unimpeachable The
only thing that be said against her is that she
was too kind to the poor girls and tried to treat
them as you and would like to have our children
treated.
Why should person, when she has beautiful
dream for the betterment Of humanity and is
driving straight for this goal be suddenly kicked
out because she doesn't always bother to consult
with this or that person who is trying to run the
District Of Columbia and as is evident everywhere
making bad job Of It?
It is most discouraging to see the school turn
back to methods which have been discarded in
modern institutions. have records showing that
the cruel discipline practiced in past years did not
have the slightest beneficial effect
wish every District citizen would take pad
and pencil and visit the school as have done.
They should also visit the terrible slums which
breed our criminals. II all rightminded citizens
would do this am sure they would be so aroused

In Days of Big Horse Ranches, Varney and Farrell
Led Field, Ranging 5000 Head Over the Foothills

les started prospectors treking into the
state, Varney and Farrell joined the
throng. Varney freighted into Virginia
City from Denver, and Farrell from
Salt Lake City. Farrell arrived first.
He it was who engaged in the livery
business, having as an adjunct to it a
horse auction sale. Varney started the
horse herd. He had a camp at a spring
eight miles from Virginia City, a spring
which bore his name for many years
afterwards. His herd headquarters were
at the spring and in the vicinity he
ranged the animals given into his care,
delivering them to the camp whenever
they were wanted.
Partners First in Alder Gulch
The two men became acquainted and
after a time formed a partnership
which lasted all during the Alder gulch
gold excitement. When the rich and
shallow placer diggings We're worked
out, the prospectors left. There were
no more horses to keep up the herd, and
the livery business petered out. Then
the partnership was dissolved and Far
rell and Varney each entered the horse
business independently.
Farrell had a camp in the foothills
on the west side of the Madison val
ley Eight Mile house. Varney estab-
lished his headquarters at "Scanda-
vine" on the edge of a big stretch OF
bottom land along the east side of the
in the lower part of the valley.
Farrell had 30 mares which he had
picked up in trading and trafficking
around, none of them thoroughbreds,
but good, solid stock. Then he bought
a Chestnut stallion, a PAGER, which he
called Chief" Chief, big and homely,
was from the Dan Rice strain. He could
pace a mile at the end of a halter in
less than three minutes.
Varney also had about 30 mares Of
the same class as Farrelfs, those which
had stood the long trip to Montana
harneSSed to freight wagons or under
saddles. He bought, to head his herd,
a long barreled. short legged stallion
which he named John" John was an
Oregon horse. During the years that
Varney had him he became famous as
running horses the west has ever
known.
Oregon Horse Introduced
The Oregon horse" vas a type en-
tirely different from the Indian or
Texas ponies which were so numerous
over the old west. The Oregon horse
was bigger. taller and heavier, a good
all-purpose animal, dependable either
under saddle or in harness. The Ore
gon horses were brought into this Jul
try from Oregon, where they had been
developed by the early settlers as a
particular strain. For many years they
enjoyed a reputation not only in the
west, but through the middle western
states, where they were sold by the
thousands even in the late nineties.
Miles apart the herds of Farrell and
of Varney wandered on the open range,
the river dividing their territory, and
with scarcely another animal in the
