WORTH HIS WEIGHT IN GOLD
HOG IS KEPT IN UNHEARD OF MAGNIFICENCE SINCE PORK
HAS CLIMBED SKY HIGH
(Copyrighted I'.Htl by C. II. Hlt'tti,
O. hnvo you heard about the hog -
Since It Is worth Its weight In gold?
They keep a heater in lis pen
And give It qnlntnn for a cold. ;
You wouldn't know the lucky brute
since pork went up to tinny cents,
They pel It so and keep It ill
Such nnhoardiif magnlllconle.
Tlm fanner always tastes tho fund
To see If It will make him III,
And rich and appetizing soups
Are given It Instead of swill.
The best and must expensive foods
Are set before It without stint,
And indigestion Is forestalled
lty rapping Miein with crenm do
mint.
You wouldn't know ll for a stye
The hog Is quartered tn today.
It has a ventilating fun,
A roof, a skylight and 11 spray;
And how It sleeps, outs, drinks and
feels.
And how to safeguard It from harm.
Is all they think and talk n limit
Those piping days upon tho farm.
Tho farmers lie awake o nights
Devising prophylactic troughs.
The doctors lly from farm to farm
Kxamlnlng hlceuim and coughs:
And nowadays when farmers moot
Knell other out upon 11 jog
Their first and most solicitous
Inquiry Is, "llnw Is your hug?"

Operation For Dulocation.
Uitle Helene Story, the B-year old j
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Story,
underwent a serious operation at the:
Cood Samaritan hospital Krlday for
dislocation of the hip. The opera-
turn was successful.
Revising the calendar was as great
tin Issue In Human politics as revising I
the tariff has become in our own, I
and more ttian one brave leader laid
down his life for the division of time
as he thought It ought to be or his
party Had pledged. The Romans dis-
.covered very early in their history Its terrible the way we are dls
j that It is in tho nature of man to re- heartened by example. It matters not
; vise something nnd they finally agreed which way we turn, we always see a
I r pon tho calendar as the thing over, sample of someone like us who as-
! which the politicians could light with
I the least damage to the peace and
1 prosperity of the people as a whole.
The melancholy dav will pass, and !
; spring will come again to freshen up
- iiiu failed grass and wako the hearts
of men. The groundling will awake
iigaln, borne out upon the whole, and
the geese will march across the sky
to see about the pole. The thrill of
spring will run along the backbone of
tlm calf. He 11 buck nml dance upon
the meadow and hoist his hinder half.
He'll dream of blooming clover fields
nnd waving curly dock, and gambol
with his rigid tall stuck up at 6
; o'clock.
1 The blithesome nmadowlnrk will
; sing tho glories of Mm dawn, and the
' robin will turn somersets upon the
j greening lawn. The spring-lntoxlca-i
tod colt will do-sl-do about, the fos
i tlve frog will wake to help the YsVath
1 or Huron u out, the poor consumer will
I rejoice ami nope tor in ner hick, ntlil
the trusts will sit around and dam the
coming garden truck.
on the 4th Mr. Taft will celebrate
his first nnnlversni-v In the white
settled political conditions, the Ual-llnger-Plnehot
controversy and some
other things, he feels that as long as
on tho consumer, allusions to June
15i (unie caricatures of Speaker
Cannon and other custedness that
DpmO0rats, Insurgents or Plnchot men
mny ue up to wtll be censored at the
doori ,
Aml then the ides will come around
jn sorrowful progression.

THIS IS TAG DAY
FOR FREE LIBRARY
URGENT NEED FOR SUFFICIENT
NUMBER OF BOOKS FOR
THI8 INSTITUTION.
1'nder the management of some of
the women of Oregon City, assisted
by a number of the young la lies, Ore
gon City Is Ut have a Tag Day on
Krlday, March 4, for the benefit of the
bonk fund of the free library. The
reading room has been In existence
for three mouths and the large num
ber making use of it demonstrates
more forcibly than ever how much
such a place was needed h'-re. The
more urgent need, however, is for a
milflrient number of books to warrant
making the Institution a circulating
library and allowing the books to be
taken home and read, which cannot
be done with the present small num
ber. It Is toward this end that Tag
Day has been arranged and It Is hoped
that everyone will sho- the Interest
they have In the library by submit
ting gracefully to lie tagged on that
day.

TAKE CHAUTAUQUA STOCK.
Harmony Club Manifests Real Appre
ciation In Good Cause.
The Harmony Improvement Society
has shown lis appreciation of the
work of the Willamette Valley Chau
tauqua Assembly by subscribing for
six shares of stock. The Harmony
Improvement Society Intends to erect
permanent quarters on the Chautau
qua grounds so that the residents in
the neighborhood of Harmony will
have some place to rest when they at
tend the sessions of the Chautauqua.
It has thus set an example for
all the other Improvement clubs of
the county, and every Improvement
association would do well to follow
its lead.
The Willamette Valley Chautauqua
Assembly Is an institution organized
wholly for the benefit of the people.
Its promoters receive absolutely no
tlnnnciar compensation for their work.
Their only gain is the satisfaction of
knowing- that they are doing some
thing for the uplifting of this section
of the country. And appreciation
thus shown is the best Indicator of
the fact that the people realize the
worth of such an institution.

CLOSE RIVER
TO FISHING
MULTNOMAH COURT DENIES THE
RIGHT OF LOCAL MEN TO
CATCH SALMON.
APPEAL WILL BE TAKEN
Willamette and Clackamas Rivers
Shut From March 1 to May 1
By Order of State Fish
Commissioners.
Fishermen cannot take salmon from
the Willamette River and tributaries
between March 1 and May 1, without
violating the Oregon stale law, and
laying themselves liable to arrest.
This was the decision of Presiding
Circuit Judge Morrow In refusing to
grant to the Portland Fish Company
a temporary restraining order res
training H. C. McAllister, master fish
warden, or other officers, from arres
ting the fishermen.
This decision places the Columbia
River fishermen and those of the Wil
lamette and Clackamas rivers upon
the same footing. A restraining order
would have allowed the Oregon City
fishermen to use their salmon-fishing
gear at will between March 1 and 13,
and April 13 and May 1. An old Ore
gon statute prohibits salmon-fishing
on the Willamette and Clackamas riv
ers between March 13 and April 13.
Attorney Isham N. Smith, repre
senting the Portland Fish Company
and 33 Oregon City fishermen, who
sued Governor Benson, State Treas
urer Steel and Fish Warden McAllis
ter, members of the fish commission,
for the restraining order, argued to
the cnurt that his clients have inves
ted 173.000 in fishing paraphernalia.
He said much loss would be caused
them, and a manifest Injustice done.
If they were compelled to desist from
fishing for a month.
The law prohibits' the catching of
salmon and does not prevent catching
other fish. Mr. Smith urged that a
man could not tell what kind of a fish
might get into his net, and that be
might be arrested for catching a sal
mon when he was fishing for some
thing else. He said this time Is not
required for the propogatlon of th!
fish, that salmon spawn In July,
August and September.
It ha. always been the custom, he
said, to fish at this time of year for
salmon, and that custom gives the
fishermen a rested right not to be
Interfered with by an order of this
kind, ire Insisted also that the or
der of the commissioners Is not bind
ing because the board exercised a
judicial function. He argued further
that the order of the commissioners
does not state the time for reopening
the Btreams to salmon fishing, and
that the regular time for the posting
of notices must elapse before the
streams can be reopened.
Members of the local fishermen's
association stated that In view of the
refusal of Circuit Judge Morrow to
issue art injunction no overt act will
be attempted and there will be no ef
fort made to violate the order of the
State Board of Fish Commissioners.
The case will be appealed to the Su
preme Court.
APPERSON SUIT MAY
BE DISMISSED SOON
POSSIBILITY OF GRADE BEING
ALTERED TO MEET PROPERTY
OWNER'S OBJECTIONS.
There is a possibility that the suit
of Captain John T. Apperson, of Park
place, to restrain the city from pro
ceeding with the Improvement of
Eleventh street will be dismissed. It
is understood that City Engineer Mel
drum Is planning to make a detailed
examination of the grade, with a view
to its alteration, and if this is done
to the satisfaction of Captain Apper
son, he will at once withdraw his ob
jections to the Improvement. Captain
Apperson is the owner of a block of
ground on Eleventh street and he ob
jected to the improvement on the
ground that the grade was not suit
able, and that his assessment would
be confiscatory, stating also that the
city had not given proper notice of
the improvement. He obtained a tem
porary restraining order last fail from
Circuit Judge Eakln, who dissolved
the injunction upon the final hearing,
and a few weeks ago Captain Apper
son gave notice that he would file an
appeal to the Supreme Court. The
Eleventh street property owners have
hopes that the matter will be adjusted
and the suit dismissed.
