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.

8avagm and Place Nam.
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?"
"Because," snid tho little girl, "our
teacher said today that Abraham Blept
with his four fathers."
Gave Warning.
Wife Well, dear, I shall have to do

exactly without warning. She told me
this morning I had better bring home
