'We have a request to Image to the

those with broken legs were just hauled

later on. As you travel through the wan- '
try, either by rail or on the road, you see
the bleaching carcases of hundreds of dead
horses, mules and oxen; sometimes at the
sides of the rivers many of them can be
seen lying deed along the banks, having
gone to dri It and been too weak to get
away, so just dropped; the ,effect on the
water can be better imagined than des-

stoud the rough work better than the west-
ern ponies, taken out by the men of the
Strathcona Horse, they being more used to
roughing it, and also doing better on the
grasa grown out there. APgreat many Ar-
gentine horses have been used; they are
usually dietinguishable by having a white
face, most of them bearing this mark.
I often got up early and walked flown
to the market, which was about a mile and
half from our depot; the 'Irate morning I
was highly interested in the way it was
oonducted-nothing like whet ours is, ex-
capt that it is a market. All goods brought
in for sale are sold by %Fe market master,
who is just like our market clerk; he is as-
sisted by.a book keeper to 'keep track of
everything sold. Everything is sold by
auction, the individuals that brought in
the goods selling nothing whatever; a 0012I-
rnission ie charged on all goods. In the
