WE believe that we have the most desirable stock of coal to be found in La Grande. Sawyer-Clark Co. PHONE MAIN 17 FEW PORKERS IN VIGINITY DOLLAR WHEAT WILL REDUCE EVEN MORE. Buyers Say Consumption Is Light at the Present Time. Throughout Union county there is somewhat of a scarcity of hogs for the market. Warren Chander, one of the biggest buyers of stock in the county, can see little relief either. "Dollar wheat isn't good hog feed" de clared Mr. Chandler yesterday even ing in discussing the hog situation. "There are few hogs in the valley now and I believe there will be even less next year." Consumption ofpork is light every where and Union county is no excep tion. This is blamed - to summer weather, a period in which meats are not in demand like they are in the late fall and winter-In view of the scarcity of hogs however, this condi tion is not effecting the trade much but when fall comes meat consump tion will probably pick up and then farmers will have more time and fa cilities to fatten hogs for the market so that the general tenor of things will continue, supply and demand more or less equal. Mr. Chandler is to all appearances right. Hogs are rapidly being cast aside as a by-product of the small farm. For the past year the price of feed has been a prob lem, and in numerous instances small ranchers especially have cut loose en tirely from the hog business. This, for one thing, is causing the shortage of supply for buyers to choose from. Trading Commonplace. Portland, Aug. 28. Generally strong to firm tone is showing in the sheep and lamb trade at North Port land. Receipts continue below gener al requirements and the demand for stockers and feeders is exceptionally good at extreme prices. Hog market at North Portland clearly showed the effects of the im provement in demand. At the start of the week's trading prices advanced 10 above the extreme figures of Sat urday at $9.85, which is but a nickel below what one load sold for about a week ago. Trade in the cattle market at North Portland is generally considered steady with the inward movement not as heavy as expected. There was quite a fair volume of business early at former quotations, but prices were about unchanged. FRUIT Blackberries 3 25c. Blackcaps 2 boxe3 25c. Peaches 31b 25c. Watermelons 2 l-2cts. lb.

It la very rare that savages give names to extensive lands as a wholo, aud at Qrst sight this seems surpris ing. Yet when we reflect that the av erage savage rarely travels more than 100 miles from his birthplace It Is quite natural be should kuow nothing beyond bis personal knowledge. If savages lire on a very large Island they are acquainted with only a small part of It and give names only to those portions with which they are familiar. The largest Islands of the Pacific have do native names. No name for the continent of Africa Is known among Its savage tribes. When told that they live In Africa a common response Is that they never heard of such a coun try. . As a rule, Pacific explorers were care ful to retain native names If tbey could ascertain them. Cook was particular ly desirous to retain native names for all his greater discoveries because be could And no other appellations. Ex change. Danced In Court An unusual scene was once witness, ed in a French law court the civil tribunal at Nantes. The proprietor of a local theater bad engaged a young lady dancer, whoso performances at rehearsals did not come up to his ex pectations. He therefore would not let her appear, and the fair dancer took action against blm for breach of contract The defendant alleged that she bad not even learned the first steps of her art and, here being a plain Issue, the judge determined to decide for hlmBelf. A space was accordingly forthwith cleared on the floor of the court, and in these unnsual surround ings the young lady duly went through her steps and plrouettings. In the re sult the Judge felt Justified In certify ing that she was quite an expert dan cer and decided the case In her favor. Henceforth she advertised, herself as the only dancer in the country with a legal certificate of proficiency. How Leap Year 8tarted. Hampson in bis "Medll OEV1. Ka landarluin" quotes the following quaint tradition from an old Saxon treatise: "Some assert that the blssextus or leap day comes through this, that Joshua prayed to God that the sun might stand still for one day's length that be might sweep the heathen from tho land that God had granted him and his followers. It Is true that the sun did stand still for one day's length over the city of Gebaon, but the day went forward in the same manner as other days. And the blssextus Is not through that, as some do think." In France and some parts of Spain and Portugal there exists a tradition known as "the ghost of leap year." Believers In this say that a marvelous monster annually nppears on leap day and disarranges human affairs for the remainder of the year. Bells In Ireland. A peculiar Interest nttnebes to the bells which tourists and collectors find In Ireland. It is said that it was St. Patrick who taught the monks and craftsmen how to make bells after he had gone to the Emerald Isle in 440. Many of the early bells remain and are examples of exquisite decoration. A copy of the bell cover of St Patrick is now in the South Kensington mu seum and is a perfect example of Celt ic art, while the Bllver bell of St Morn, In the Wallace collection, 1b hardly less interesting. It Is of a unique style, with its filigrced ornaments plaited and twisted and interlaced. Exchange. Rebuked. The persevering luudscnpe painter knew that he bad an observer looking over bis shoulder at the easel. lie knew from the rustle of skirts that the observer was a woman; yet he worked steadily on. Presently the observer spoke. "A charming landscape," she sold. "Ah, you flatter me," said the artist modestly. "Compared with the orig inal landscape It is very poor stuff." "I meant the original," said the ob server. New York Times. A Puzzled Student. Little Ethel had just returned from Sunday school aud was looking very puzzled. "Momma," she said, "did they have very large beds In Bible days?" "I don't know, dear," said her moth er. "Why do you ask?"
