(By United Press.) The NortliweBt
In common with the entire, conn

present condition of the growing
crop is any Indication. This was
the opinion of crop experts here to
day. ' '
Conservation of potatoes will be
necessary. Long protracted dry
weathef. has damaged the ' potato
crop severely: ' Also, the acreage Is
smaller than last year.
Estimates Kive a crop In Oregon,

at 47.400,000 bushels, against 69
000,000 bushels a year ago. The

ago.

Tills dog, wiilchprobnbly. wandered
Into the pnrk from . some farm or set
tlement n few, miles over the border,
has been living In the Yellowstone In
wild state ,. for ;( several ' years.
Whether lor not ha) fraternized with his
cousins the wolves and the coyotes
can not be known certainly. No doubt
he lived as they live, at the expense
of young and weaker deer and elk, nnd
smaller prey. Probably lie lived alone,
against nil anltmil. kind as they were
against him. There are well-authentl-cated
Instances ot dogs thus returning
to savage nuturo. It spenks well for,
his tenndty'and strength that, alone
of his kind in n country, whore all
kinds of wild animals live still their
natural lives, he survived.' He may:
have been a dog of good pedigree.
Anyway, tho. dog had been seen at
intervals for several years nnd -was
SfBclnlly .classed among the anlnpals
hlch, alone of nil Yellowstone's ani-'
mills, aro sought and killed because,
destructive of the bnrmlpss animate

' First Called Sleuthhounds.
Bloodhounds were first known ns
sleuthhounds, owing to their ability to
track the tleer. wtld hoar or the wolf.
When the wotinded gnme.broke nway
and was lost, these good-nosed dogs
were used In trailing the quarry by
the blood trail, nnd hence they were
Anally called bloodhounds.
