THE MOUSING. OEEGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, N6YEMB!ER 12, 1902. x WHERE THE HOOS GO Status of Industry in Colum bia Basin. PORTLAND DOESN'T GET ALL Larger Price Paid by Seattle Packers i Harac, Bacon and Lard Imported to SHpply Local Demand in the "Northwest. More hogs from the Upper (Columbia Basin are marketed at Puget Sound than come to Portland. The demand to the northward Is so brisk that the producers receive a quarter of a cent more a pound, live -weight, from Seattle packers than from Portland buyers, and the Seattle men send agents to the farmers and pay lor the hogs on the ground, while in the case of Portland the hogs are bought on delivery at the fctockyards or abattoir. In nearly all cases there Is admitted to be treat proSt In hogralsing. Notwithstanding the home production, large quantities of cured hog products are shipped In from th "East ern packing centers and sold In the local field. Live hoes are sold for less than the Eastern price and sent away, and hams, bacon and lard are imported for home consumption. Adequate packing-houses in the Paclflc Northwest would do away with this waste, and build up a very large in dustry here. ALL COME TO PORTLAND. lias IndtiKtrj- of Grand Ronde and. Wallowa. Valley. LA GRANDE. Or.. Nov. 1L (Special.) Kiddle Bros, hartdle virtually all the hogs shipped out of here. For the laet year ;hey have shipped 15 carloads a month to the Union Meat Company at Troutdale. There arc about S3 head In a car, hence the aggregate is in the neighborhood of 16.O30 head; All this number does not rone from'the Grand Ronde Valley alone, but about half comes from Wallowa. Re cently, Kiddle Bros, have brought 1700 nogs out from Wallowa, driving some of them a distance of 70 miles, and Ed "VVI1 lard brought out ISO head. Thcro have been no packing hogs shipped Eat from La Grande since 18a7. Every year since that prices have been oetter at Portland than at Omaha, until ;his year, when Omahi prices are a little above Portland. The top price at Omaha being S.l and at Portland 7.25 cents a pound. The hogs shipped from here are almost all Intended for packing, and the rontracls usually call for hogs weighing ISO pounds and upward. The local market requires the packing by local bptchers of perhaps 400 to 500 bead of hogs each season, and the other towns of this valley as many more. Some it the local packers eay they find it hard to compete with Eastern packed meat. It seems strange that this should be so, when hogs are higher In the East than here, and, of course, frelgnt rates are added to the price of the cured meat when brought hTc Some excuse may be found In the fact that the by-proiucts In the Eastern establishments servo to lessen the cost of packing, and there products are wasted by small packers Here. MuchJ Eastern cured meat Is shipped Into Wal lowa Valley, whence come so many hogs each year. There Is little prospect for- increase of production of hogs in this n-Ki-in. and Indeed next year will probably see r. slight decrease. High-priced wheat n;jses the . cot of wintering too gnat, and when wheat reaches a price eomewhere near 1 rent a pound, the farmers commence to rell their stock hogs. Kiddle Bros., who Save head of stock hogs, are nego tiating for the sale of about 2000 of them. Tbefe stock hogs will probably go East, possibly to T. B. Hard, of Central City, Neb., who has bought many hogs from this section. A lew hogs are shipped from here to Bpoknne. and some dealers besides Kiddle Bros, handle for fihlpment, but only in email lots. HOGS BROUGHT FARMERS ?131,4S2. Fevr Fro hi Whitman County Came to Portland The Prospect. COLFAX, Wash.. Nov. 11. Special.) Large shipments of hogs are being made rom Whitman County points, and the de sand is brisk, while the price remains at l good figure, although there has been a fiecllne of nearly 1 cent per pound from ihe high prices prevailing during the har rest. Shippers are paying 5 75 per 100 pounds for hog now, and the supply does sot 'equal the demand. Stock hogs are In Dig demand at high prices, but there are tew offered for sale. This has been a good year for farmers cho .have bogs for sale. The price has oeen high ever since the first of the year, uid there has been a good profit In rais ing hogs. Since January 1 ehlppers at Colfax have shipped from this and neigh boring towns 130 carloads of hogs. Each car contains an average of SO hogs, mak ing the total number shipped by Colfax firms 10.400 hogs. For this number of hogs the shippers paid the farmers $131,482 94. Of these shipments about CO per cent went to Seattle, which is the principal market for this country. The remainder were divided between Spokane and the Coeur d'Alene and British Columbia min ing districts, Spokane getting about 25 per cent of the total shipments. Portland got but three carloads of the entire lot. About one-half of the hogs shipped here were fit for oacklng, and the remainder were "block" hogs. Colfax packers have packed about 200 hogs slnco January L Shippers say the prospects for an in crease in the number of hogs for next year Is not verybrlght, and none expect It to exceed 25 per cent, while many say It will not exceed 10 or 15 per cent. This, they say. is due to the fact that the price has been so high farmers have fattened their young bogs and animals that would otherwise be saved for breeding purposes and rushed them onto the market. This leaves a shortage for breeding stock for next year. This will also prevent the usual number of large hogs being market ed this Fall and Winter. Shippers say there are few large hogs in the country, and light hogs, which would usually be used for block purposes, will be packed, because there are no heavy hogs to be had. "WALLA WALLA SHIPS 1000. Seattle the Best Market From That Section. WALLA WALLA. Nov. 11. (Speclal.) The Industry of raising and shipping hogs from this point is growing steadily, and the market is supplied with choice ani mals. Poland China hogs taking the lead, a few Berkhires and Chester Whites be ing raised to good advantage. The num ber of hogs shipped during the last year exceeded 100!) head. The best market is Seattle, prices averaging a quarter of a cent a pound higher than the Portland or Tacoma market, the freight rate being the same. Five hundred hogs a month are used for the local market. In both block and packing hogs, the weight running Xrom 1E5 to 225 pounds. The State Pen!-, luntl&ry uses about 200 head a year. The fort will In all probability use about as many. The majority of those shipped Trere, block hogs, but many were fine enough for packing. There are but few Individual reisers on a large scale, besides the Blalock Fruit Company, which har on hand more than 600 head all "the time. The general outlook Is goo.d'. Many hog tight fences are being erected and many acres of alfalfa planted. HOGS IX UMATILLA COUNTY. Easiness Small, bat Prontable, and Increasing 5000 Sold Thin Year. PENDLETON, "Nov. 11. (Special.) Raising hogs in Umatilla County has hardly risen to the dignity of an industry, at least when compared with wheat, sheep, cattle and horse production. As against an average crop of 4,000,000 bush els of wheat, and an annual production of 100,000 sheep, 5000 hogs, which is about the number sold this year by Umatilla stockralsers, seems 'rather Insignificant. The. last assessment list shows 10,007 horses and mules and 18,000 cattle In the county, having an aggregate value of $370,000; the eheep, not counting wool or lambs, are valued at $217,000. while the hogs are assessed- at only $7607. Swlne ralslng Is not general among the fanners. Many of them raise a few for family use and occasionally they market a wagon load. There are also a number of per sons who make a special business of growing hogs. One of the chief discouragements is the character of the fences In the county. Most of the land is in, wheat, having cattle-proof, but not hog-proof, fences. A great deal of the wheat land is with out water, or so remote from it that hog turned out upon the stubble do not thrive. Hence an enormous quantity of valuable feed goes to waste yearly. But along the Umatilla River and Its tribu taries. Birch. Butter. McKay. Wild Horse and other creeks, on the .Walla Walla River, in the east end of 'the county, and about Pilot Rock, and in Camas Prairie, In the southern part of the county, many hogs are raised partly upon alfalfa, part ly on wheat and corn, and a very great Increase In production Is not only pos sible, but probable. In the near future. Several enterprising men, stimulated by the present high prices for hogs, have re cently embarked In hogralsing on an ex tensive scale, and with the finest breeds of stock. The Poland China seems to give the best results In this county. During this year there have been shipped from this county about 1200 hogs. All of them, except about 200, from Echo and vicinity, went to Puget Sound points, for the reason that Puget Sound buyers paid of a cent more per pound than Portland, while freight rates were Identical. Of those shipped--out of the counly almost all went from Pendleton and were suited for packing and the block In about equal proportions. The local market of Pendleton consumed, as nearly as can be ascertained, about 3SO0 hogs, the product being used at Pendleton and within a radius of about 50 miles from this city. Besides thla 12 carloads of pork products nave been shipped into Pendle ton from Omaha and Kansas City this year. A curious divergence of opinion as to the profit of hogralsing in Umatilla Coun ty exists. Those engaged in the business at Pendleton, and who feed their hogs largely on swill gathered, in the city at no expense, except hauling, say that there is no money In It. This opinion may be somewhat prejudiced because of the bad luck some of them have had within a year or two, hundreds of their hogs, as well as many on McKay Creek, near by, having died of some disease like cholera. This loss may account for the deficiency in profits. As this disease has .been stamped out by quarantining, the com ing year may tell a different story as to profit and loss. Hogralsers In other parts of the county say that at present prices the business Is extremely prontable, and that It will attain large proportions in a short time. A. L. Swaggart, of Athena, kept a care ful record during the past year of the cost of maintenance of his herd of swine. Starting with 70 hogs last Fall, he fed them wheat of the value of $917, sold $18S0 worth this season, and still has 1Q0 hogs left. Besides the wheat fed to these hogs they had the run of six acres of alfalfa. Thomas J. Kirk, also of Athena, raises many hogs, using corn, which he raises, In addition to wheat and stubble for feed. He says the business is profit able. W. Adams, agent of the W. & C. R. R. at Pendleton, has a band of blood ed stock near Pilot Rock. He says he bought six hogs for $46 50 each last year and realized from their sale this Fall a sum sufficient to pay for the keep of CO others during the year. He uses' wheat and runs the hogs on alfalfa. He consid ers the business very profitable. John Crowe, a wheat farmer six miles east of Pendleton, maintains a large herd on wheat stubble and wheat, and says there Is money In IL Ex-Judge James A. Fee, of this city, nad a herd of 500 hogs In 1697 and 1S9S. "Wheat was then worth about SO cents a bushel. He fed his hogs chiefly on corn brought from Ne braska, and in spite of the high price of wheat and tho cost of freight on corn he realized a handsome profit from the busi ness. He considers hogralsing one of the best-paying occupations In this section. It Is noticeable that outside of the Im mediate vicinity of Pendleton- the hogs In this county have been absolutely free from diseases. From all reports from various parts of the county It is safe to say that with the price of pork at anywhere near the present figures, 6 to 6 cents a pound on the hoof, hog production in this county will Increase materially. Many persons who now raise horses or cattle exclusively can grow large bands of hogs without interfering with their other stock busi ness. Mnlces Wheat Bring 91 n. Bniihcl. WESTON. Nov. 11. rSnooJnt .UHnmls. Ing has not as yet assumed the propor tions of an Industry In this locality, where wneat aosorns we attention of farmers, but more hogs are yearly grown, and bet ter breeds are being Introduced.. A marked Increase is expected each year by those in a position to know, as hog ralsing has been proved very profitable by the few who have tried it. A prominent breeder, A. L. Swaggart, who turns off 200 head of Poland China hogs annually, says that he realizes $1 per bushel -jet for the wheat fed. Shipments from the Weston and Athena neighborhoods are expected to aggregate 12 carload this Fall. All former ship ments have been made to Seattle and Ta coma. Growers explain that the Puget Sound dealers will crnrl thlr rinont. -examine and receive small ' lots, while .Portland dealers decline to adopt this method, quoting prices only on hogs de livered at Portland. The growers prefer to complete the transaction on the spot, and give this as their reason for shipping ever the Washington & Columbia River Railroad out of Athena. Weston has no packing facilities, and block hogs are consumed locally, A few farmers cure their own meat, but a tor go amount of Eastern ham and bacon la shipped to this locality. v Must Deal With Blalock Farm. WALLA WALLA, Nov. 11. Citv Attor ney H. S. Blandford has" decided thaUtne residents of College Place must settle their grievances with .the Blalock fruit farm, and not with the City of Walla Walla. In regard to the closing of the sewer ditch which empties on the Blalock ranch. - Recently SO residents of College Place petitioned the Walla Walla Coun cil to close the sewer opening on the Bla lock farm, on the ground that It endan gers the health of the citizens of College Place.

NO CAPITOL THIS YEAR OLYMPIA STATBHOUSE CAN XOT BE COMPLETED. Steel Trasses Cannot Be Furnished In Time Legislature Will JProbably Meet la Frame Building. OLYMPIA. Wash., Nov. 1L (Special.) Secretary Garrison, of the Capitol Com mission, received a. letter today from the American Bridge Company, which is. making the steel, trusses for the Cap itol xannex, which removes the last hope that the building can be made ready for the coming session of the Legislature. The steel trusses will not be shipped from the mills at Pittsburg until the last of No vember, and It is estimated that they will not arrive until about the opening time of the Legislature. Attorney-General Stratton in an opin ion delivered to the Capitol Commission today holds that the powers and duties of the commission extend no further than the construction of the new building, and that It devolves upon the Secretary of State to furnish a suitable place for tho Legislature to meet In, now that tho com pletion of the new building Is found to be impossible. Secretary of State Nichols says the old frame building that has been used by the Legislature since the '50s Is In a very bad state of repairs. It will need new underpinning and a one-story addition must be built In order to pro vide properly for the Increased member ship In the lower house. On account of these facts and the out-of-way location of the old Capitol and Its unsanitary condition, an attempt will be made to secure another building. A frame building a block east of the new building, and which Is now used by the Adjutant-General asmn arsenal und sup ply depot, la under consideration. The lat ter Is large enough and it would be pos sible to use there the furniture purchased for the new building. The time is short for consideration, as the Legislature con venes January 7, and repairs and altera tions must be made, no matter what building 13, chosen. THURSTON ELECTION RETURNS.

Nov. 11. J. Frates, a stockralser of Tehama County, lost his whole flock of sheep, numbering 2S00, by drowning this morning, in Pratt Bend, near Princeton, this county. The flock was In the care of herders, who failed to, notice the water was raising rapidly until evening, then they got .the sheep tpgether, but the sheep refused to drive on account of the darkness and water. The herders decided to wait for daylight, but had .to desert the sheep and flee from the rapidly rising water. When daybreak came the herders found the whole flock had been drowned. The flock was valued at $10,000. Another flock of 1500, owned by Mr. Hoke, is surrounded by water on the East Side. There are grave fears that this flock will also be lost unless the water commences to recede soon. The farmers on the East Side lost $25,000 worth of Egyptian corn by water. The Sacra mento River Is now 2S feet above low water and slowly rising. BOVSEVEUELY BITTEN. Bulldog I"Beaten InpeiiHlble Wltli Hniuiner. NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., Nov. 11. (Special.) Word has Just reached this city of a shocking accident to the 10-year-old son. of R. Langevin, a rancher, living in the far Moxee country. It seems that the lad, with another child, was playing with a bulldog belonging to a neighbor, last Friday. The animal became enraged at something and seized the boy by the calf of the leg. The father came to fhe boy's assistance and tried to pry the jaws of the animal open. Finding this barren of re sults, with the dog chewing the boy's flesh, the father got a hammer and beat the dog's head until It wea unconscious. Rude Instruments, like scissors, were used to dress the boy's lacerations, and a part of the calf had to be cut away. While this surgical operation was In progress the animal regained conscious ness. The hammer was again called Into requisition, until the dog was dead. The boy- will, probably be a cripple for life. CHEHALIS LUMBER COMPANY. Incorpornted "With Capital of $75,000 Laying?

No. 604 Thirty-ninth Street West. Sayaxxaii, Ga., May H, 1002. THERE are but few families that have not from time to time seri ous illness in the home. At such times the first auestion is what is the safest and quickest way to regain the health of the sufferer. In ny home and amonc women relatives and friends we have come to. the conclu sion that doctors are-an expensive luxury. Their prescriptions may sometimes relieve, but for real, per manent cure I know of nothing which I can bo surely depend upon as Wine of Cardui. It must be a skillfully prepared medicine for it seems to answer the purpose in numerous complaints peculiar to women. I learned of its xalue per sonally three years ago when tw'o bottles cured me of periodical pains, and I was bo pleased with the results that I recommended it to a number of friends. I have known of evere,casc3 of inflammation and ulceration which were cured in a few Mrs. Whittaker is a highly intellectual woman, and as president of a prominent Savannah woman's organization her words are worth con sideration. She has made up her mind that doctors are an expensive and often unnecessary luxury, and that Wine of Cardui is a medicine that can be depended on. Bpsides being surer and more lasting as a remedy the trifling cost of Wine of Cardui commends this great remedy to every suffering woman. If every woman in thejand today would study existing conditions as Mrs. "Whittaker has studied them she would come to the same conclusion regarding Wine of Cardui. Every woman has friends who have paid doctors bills for years with no particular result. Many families have been dragged down to poverty m this way. At " the Eame time over a million women have secured health bv taking Wine of Cardui, purchased from druggists at a nominal co3fc. "v ine of Cardui cures menstrual disorders -and drives weakness from the female system. You can get the same good health as Mrs. "Whittaker by securing a $1.00 bottle or w mc oi iaraui toaay.

For the general toning up of the system it has no superior: and if tired out, sick women, would use one or two bottles of Wine of Cardui instead of dragging wearily through weeks of suffering it would not only be sure to cure them but they would avoid the serious results we daily see around us caused by neglecting na ture when she cries out for relief and succor.
