Portland, April 17. t special)
That no hope need be expressed for
lower pr'ce for cattle within the Im
mediate future Is the opinion of W. H.
Daughtrey, president of the Portland
Union Stockyards company, just re
turned from an cxtens'.ve tour of Ari
zona, Texas and New Mexico.
According to Mr. Doughtrey, who
who went south for the sole purpose.
of looking up the livestock situation,
wh'ch he promised to report to Ore
gon shippers, the cattle situation Is
extremely Wrong In the southwest
and prices are at the danger pq'm.t
with holders asking more money. '
"I find the cattle very high all over
the country," said Mr. Doughtrey til's
morning.

Orthography Many Endings Rudely
Stripped School , Is Nov 'Soool."
Bluff is Now -Bluf."
The HliuplinVd Hlllng honrd IxMiied
recently In New York Its f mirth hhhii nit
ou EuKlUb u It bus lmn wrllteu fur
some time and makes miotvstliiun aud
rules thiit wilt nHe the old fdKtilimml
siielltng book a wvere sbiM'k. The at
tempt It made to Itreak the Hat iti'titly
to the piibllc. but In so dolug the huard
Is forced to use tbla wtileQi: , , . .
"The reader la urged In cunxlderlnK
tbew new apelllugs not to be too tuurb
Mnfiueust' by the 'od" appearance of
the words."- '
Therein la Illustrated one of the most
unklndeat cuts of the new list for the
words ending In "need" and rsed" are
to be written by the followers of the
new spelling In "nst" and "rat"
In giving out Its list the simplified
spelllug board Is considerate enough to
follow the ancient order' of the alpha
bet The combination ch Is tbe Brat
to suffer. . and .the b Is annihilated.
Thus "cba-js" la Met down to be spell
ed "caos." "character" is "caracter,"
"chorus" Is "curus." "Eco" U not a
foreign word, but is tbe familiar "echo."
and tbe place where we learned the
things we are now urged to forget Is
not a ."8chooU" but;a-"scool.".' - t
- . The K Has Bad Luok. .
Tbe cb Is retained before e. y and I.
Words like "chi-mtet." "architect" "or
chestra" and "scbeme". are retained as
tbey have been.
Next tbe eudlng ck Is attacked. The
rule Is to drop tbe k after an unstress
ed vowel. It Is noted that the final k
has already been dropped by our an
cestors In many words that once bad
it This applies to ajl words like "der
rick," "haddock," "hammock," "sham
rock" and even "knapsack" and "haver
sack." 'The simplification of many
monosyllables ending In ck is postpon
ed by the board until tbe .derived
forms are agreed upon. Tbus people
will continue to get "sick" and not
"sic" and can He comfortably on their
"backs" In tbe morning and not have
to do with a "bae."
A change of wide effect Is that of
dropping tbe final e after a single con
sonant pret-eded by a abort vowel ot
by act $ stressed vowel whose sound Is
not conveuleutly associated with the
silent final e. This makes strangers ot
such old friends as "have," which be
comes "bav," and "live,", "forgive,"
"mlBglve" and even "are." "gone" and
"were."
"Heart" la Broken. .
When, tbe two vowels ea come to
gether and are pronounced as long a
before r the rule is to drop tbe e. This
rule literally breaks tbe "heart" and
leaves It "hart" "Hearth" become
"harth."
Final ew, which appears In many
words like "blew." "grew," "chew"
and "threw." is cbanged to u, so tbe
simplified spellers will write. "Th
wind 'blu ' " When It comes to conju
gating verbs ending In ew, like "brew,"
tbey are undaunted and will say, "1
bru" and then "I brued" and "1 have
brued." Simplified spellers who havs
been accustomed to "chew" 'tobacco
will now simply "chu" It and confest
that they "chued" it
Another e Is lost In words ending In
ey as an unstressed syllable which
souuds like y. "Attorney" become!
"attorny." and "donkey" Is "donky."
This will affect "turkey" trot by mak
ing it tlie-"turky" trot and possibly
raising It tn tbe eyes of tbe simplified
spellers
Then there are to be no more ft" end
ings One f Is considered enougb
American "bluff" will be Americas
"bluf," and the "gruff" man who gets
in a "huff" must simply be "gruf" and
bive a "buf." Tbe law suffers here de
cidedly with the "plaintiff" only "plain
or and the "sheriff" falling to "sherif
Qh Becomes F.
Where gb is pronounced as f the
board rules that It shall be written f,
and where gb Is silent both letters are
dropped. "Laugh" becomes "laf," and
the noun Is "lafter." Tbe "cough" Is
"cof." and "enougb" Is "enuf." Where
gb Is slient as In "caught" and "augbt."
tbe words become simple "cant" and
"aut"
When gn Is pronounced like n. g Is
to be dropped, as In "gnaw" and "gnos
tic" Where gn Is pronounced like
eln, as In "reign" and "deign." tbe g
Is to be dropped. Tbus an unhappy
monarch might "feln" to "rein."
Likewise, wben kn starts a word,
like "knife," the k Is dj-opped. Thus

. THE HUMAN SPINE. '
Scisnos Says It Is Imperfect 'Beoaust
Man Walks Upright
Ac-rurdiliK to the oKleopittblst, you do
liot have a peitei-tly formed spinal col
umn, fur be la firmly couvltuwl that
Uu pel sou In the world has tt back that
Is perfect ills Ideal Is a spine of a
purtli'Ulur curve, whose twenty-four
bones are at equal distances apart of
the some formation on-both sides aud
equally distant from the sides of the
body. ' '
. Tbe child's spine Is much nearer nor-
I mat and far stralghter than tbe adult's,
! and tbe. society woman who does no
work is more likely to have a back
whose curve comes nearer the Ideal
than tbe college athlete. Tbe spines of
strong men. such as the laborer or
pugilist are most defective, for tbe
reason that constant pull and strain
on the spinal column accentuate Its
weaknesses. Tbe Igorrotes. strong as
they are. have weaker and more crook
ed spines tuitu civilized men.
The spines of lower uulmals art
atroinrer ami mure minimi than ours
and i-uiiseipienily are nut so reudily ut
fectcd liy ili.-.ea.-.e. If imiu had tie
t-iiled to walk mi all fours Ills splm
might be Just as iroisl aa his cat's or
dop's. Spinal trouble started when
our ancestors determined to walk up
right, aud even after untold centuries
It seems that the human spine has not
thoroughly adjusted Itself to our meth'
od of going alKiut. Spencer wrote
"That all Important orguu. the verte
brul column. Is as yet but itu-otupletely
adapted to tbe upright posture. Only
while tbe vigor Is considerable can
there be maintained without apprecia
ble effort those muscular contractions
which produce 'the S like flexure and
bring the lumbar portion into such a
position that the Hue of direction falls
within It" New York Sun.
AGGRESSIVE REPTILES.
King Cobras and Mambaa Are ths
Worat of the Snake Tribe. '
Tbe majority of snakes are uot aa
most people suppose, aggressive in
tbelr habits; but. like tbe British viper,
far more anxious to get out of the way
of tbe human Intruder than luto It.
But' there are a few famous, or Infa
mous, exceptions, and the mumba
one of tbe iurgest of tbe cobras and a
native of Africa Is said to be tbe
moat dangerous reptile In the world.
It will Oy at anythiug aud anybody;
goes out of Its way to pick a quarrel
with every passerby and bus even been
known to come down from a tree
where It was resting, apparently fast
asleep, to try conclusions with a man
armed with a guu. Tbe only suuke
that at -all approaches tbe msmba In
ferocity is tbe great king cobra or
hamadryad of tbe east which is larger
than tbe mumba and generally quite as
ready to Interfere with any living crea
ture that cornea within its ken. It has
been known to chase a man on horse
back, and so fast can It travel tbat tt
la said none but a awlft footed animal
has any chance of escape.
Tbe poison of both these anakea is so
powerful that, as some one once stated
In an examination paper on reptiles,
"even aclentist wben bitten by either
of these ferocious creatures ceasea to
be Interested In tbe matter after the
space of a few minutes." Among the
Australian cobras, the pit vipers of
America and the- great west African
vipers, there are certain species that
prefer tbe offensive to tbe defensive
method, and In most cases It is tbe ag
gressive varieties that carry the most
poisonous fangs. London Globe.
