HOG M DISCUSSION AGAIN
Correspondent Contends That
the Law m Inoperative.
liases His Argument on the Fact
Uiat It l not Written In the
l)iukLaw tjuoukj.
VituaoKiA. Jan. 15. (To the K.lltor.l
I toe by tho Inst issue of Tux Mist that
you say there la a hog law. I will ask
why you did not cite your reader, to the
auction in tne statuu: which give It and
tells what the law Is and what the pen
alties are for its violation, instead of say
ing that certain justices ol the peace
canvassed the vote, aud that there were
so many for and so many against hotts
running at large. If there is a law, aa
vou say mere la, you have certainly seen
It lu the statute. ; or are yon like our
friend. Priugle, in here, who, when one
says there Is no hog law be produce an
old lite of Thk Mint, which he has that
published the vote the time the bog law
waa voted on, to prove there la a hog
law. That I no proof to me. If it is
in the atatute that would be proof con
clusive to me. I know it wa voted and
carried In favor of a hog law. but 1 it a
law If it I not to be found lu the stat
utes? If there would be a suit brought
before a justice would he so to the hie
of Th Mimt to get hi law to determine
the case, or would he go, a I would, to
the statutes. I will say that I have
searched the statute and aession laws
for a hog law for Columbia county, and
tailed to una it if it there. The law book
tells bow a county may get a hog law,
out it tt is voted and not put in the law
book it ia no law without we uae tbe
file of Th Mut a our law book.
Alvbeo Bhammaham.
We ara iclsil the centleman ha
spoken. The way i now open to a full
discussion of the "hog law." The cor
respondent evidently lis little laitn lu
thaitatute which provide that people
may make law for their own particular
case. The "bog law", in Columbia
county is law, for In ita adoption the
people ol tne county followed the direc
tion of the (tatute of the state in
order to get the law ; and having pro
ceeded according to law to get law. it i
just aa binding and bolden aa though it
were written in a dozen place in tne law
book of th state. One cannot find in
the atatutea of the atata every ordinance
adopted by the city councils of the sev
eral incorporated cities and town of the
state. But you can find those law in the
book of ordinance of the city or town.
and they are law becauae tbe atatutea of
the atata provide bow uch ordinancea
may become law. and the people having
proceeded according to the atatutea in
order to make those ordinancea binding
the state win see to it that they are
binding. The same methods apply to
the "hog law" in this county. The leg
islature told tbe people of this county
how they could get a "hog law," ana
the people having proceeded in the
premise according to to tbe (tatutee,
everything being regular, which we
nave no reason to aount wa regular.
then wa aay emphatically that if any
law hi the atate of Oregon ia binding ao
1 the law in this county relative to hogs
running at large. For the information
of the correspondent or any others, we
here quote portlou ol the atatutea that
the facta in the cose may be mora easily
seen and clearly understood:
"KaMtitti Silll Mn Ilia nAtitlnn nf (ins
'hundred or more legal voter of any
'countv in thi atate being filed with
"th county clerk before tbe time of
"giving notice of the general election in
"any year, the county clerk ahall cause
"notice to be given that at such election
'a vote will be taken in eucn county
'for and againat awine running at large."
And the succeeding tection prescribe
the manner of placing the matter before
tbe voter on tbe official ballot, and tbe
manner of determining tbe reiuit ol tne
ballot. ,
'Section 8418. If a msioritv of all
"the votea cast ahall be againat awine
"running at large, the county clerk
"ahall give notice, by publication in
aims newaoaner In hta county lor
"three consecutive weeka, that in aixty
"days from the data ol aald notice it
will be umawiut lor awine w run ai
'lorve. under penalty of five dollar for
"the tint offense and ten dollar for each
"and every lubsequetit offense, to be
recovered from tne owner ot (tie awine
"by civil action In the name of the
"Htate of Oregon,' before a iuttlce of
"the peace of the precinct in which
"such owner or keeper, or either of
"them may reaide." ,-.
The correspondent will please notice
that tha act ia to be "brought "in the
name of the atata of Oregon," and the
nenalty ia "16 and II U" respectively.
these extracts from the law are cer
tainly sufficient to convince the average
mind that everything being regular,
tha act of houa running at large ia this
county ia strictly againat tne law.
Wa presume that aufflcient Of tne
neonle of the counties mentioned in the
statute making it unlawful for hoga to
run at large asked tne legislature io
so specify, and the succeeding sections
were nrovided as a license for other
counties to adopt the same law at an
t in the resident saw Dt to taxe sua
action, prescribing the method of pro
cedure. -
It any justice of the peace is iu doubt
as to the outcome of the ballot which
wa taken" tn thi county on the propo
sition at the general election held on
the 6th day of June, 1S88, let him ad
dress tbe county clerk, who will gladly
snnnlv him with a certified coov of the
canvaee of the vote, thence proceeding
In the manner prescribed in section imo,
volume 2, Hill' Annotated Law of Ore
gon, and we have no fear but what his
official acta would ba affirmed by the
hiehor court in case of a contest.
We would not suggest that the corres
pondent go to tbe tiles of Tua Mibt for
hi law, but wa might recommend him
to the file of Tua Mist for evidence of
the exUtence of the law.

A government analyaia of the Oregon
hemlock bark for tbe purpose of ascur
tainiug its taunlug properties will be
made by tne aepariment oi agriculture.
Secretary Wilson hn announced that he
will order the analysis made upon the
receipt of samples and issue the govern
ment certificate on Ibe result. No au
thoritive annlysi. of this bark for tanning
purposes has ever been made but unoffi
cial Wats have shown '17 per cent, of
tannic acid. Compared with thi the
Eastern oak, which is the article most
extensively used for tanning purposes,
only shows 10 per cent and the Eastern
hemlock falls t aa low as 7 per cent.
These testa, if tbey shall beau betatitiated
by the goverment' analysis, prove that

annually go to waste in this country
may be converted to good use and b

go further aud authorise the secretary of
