Poor old Spain. However, out of

The city council of Dayton, Wash
ington, has passed an ordinance to
prohibit Intoxication on the streets
or in the city, the penalty being $100

Nearly every west bound freight
carries several car loads of hogs form
Nebraska to Portland. Yesterday
morning 12 cars were in one train,
which at the present price, 9 1-2 cents
per pound on foot, meant no less than
$12,000. When a 250 pound hog
brings $23, those eating bacon these
days are among the high livers.

V GREAT CEREAL CROP.
This year's cereal crop will be
among the greatest ever grown In the
Vnited States, according to the esti
mates contained in the August wheat,
corn and cereal crop, report issued
today by the Department of Agricul
ture. A gain of more than 700,000,000
bushels In all grains over last year
is Indicated, and the bumper yield of
three yeurs ago will probably be ex
ceeded. Crops of corn and oats will likely
trnash all records.. A loss In winter
wheat as compared with a year ago
will be offset by a larger yield of
spring wheat, which will bring the to
tal to a considerable excess over the
3908 crop. Some Important Interests
1n the trade figure that the consump
tive demand has grown enough to ab
sorb this difference and that before
the entire crop is harvested we will
run Into a period of actual shortages
rather than a surplus. It is also fig
ured that foreign requirements easily
will take all wheat which is not ned
fd for domestic purposes, as crop con
ditions are generally understood to be
unsatisfactory In . most of t he Old
World grain raising districts.
