This is a pretty good idea and a few sentences of this kind would have a de cidedly wholesome effect on some of the men who get so drunk that they have to be taken into custody and cared for. Let them earn their way out and there wont be so much of it.

A.

The value of shorts and middlings as a supplement to ground wheat in feeding pigs for fattening is the subject of an experiment now be ing conducted by Prof. E. L. Potter of the animal husbandry depart ment of the Oregon Agricultural College. Eastern Oregon is becoming greatly interested in hog raising, and as shorts and middling are the most available supplementary feed for the wheat growers, the expert, ment will be of special value to that part of the state. Other tests made by tne college prove wheat alone is not the best feed for fattening pur poses, and thus if some good sup plement easily secured by eastern Oregon farmers is found it will do much to further the swine industry of that part of the state. The comparative value of scrubs and will bred pigs for fattening pur poses is to be determined in another test on the experiment farm for which a herd of 30 pigs has been set aside Since February' daily records of all the feed given the swine and mon thly records of their individual weights have been kept, and this is IHiWiililliMl "dignifying THE INDUSTRIES" TBI U taa UU f t kMullfkl St-sat kaak, vktk will k aay or arl raw U SVGCIBD. tra a poi I la tb stall TODAY aaa It will ka Mat rail.

It will make his or her property that much more valuable. As it is the uni versal custom for the average taxpayer to kick at the extrava gance of the officers in charge of public affairs and the conse quent high taxes to pay, it matters little whether the tax levy be 2G mill3 or 13 mill3, the kick comes just the same, and if the voters at their meetings and the tax levying bodies of the different districts deem it neces sary to have this much money to to keep up the nece33ary im provements, we should all pay our little portion and rejoice over the fact that it is no more, Agricultural College Jan.3-Feb. 3. These methods will be discussed and compared both as to cost and as to afficiency.

The Columbia County Bank has been designated by the Federal Government as a depositary for Postal Savings Deposits. This is quite a distinction for our local bank and one of which the officers of the bank and the citizens of the city should feel proud.
