The run of California butter Is rather
liberal at this time and prices In the
markets of that state are going down
with a bang. This action Is being felt
kere to some extent, because or the
heavier shipments of southern Oregon
-and northern California creameries to
this city Instead of to the south. The
butter of that locality always goes to
the highest market and this season Its
.visit to PorUand has 'been more extend-
!ed than usual.

Liverpool's determination not to

rest of the trading the brokers fell
their way.
Oats traden were treated to a sur

The cloee was within a fraction of

Portland Union Stockyards, March 2.
Small recelDts are not the encourage
ment that killers want to put down the
orlca of livestock and In consequence
of today's small run all local values are
holding welL While there was u quite
fair showing of sheep for the 48 hours,
the absence of supplies In other lines
tended to Improve the demand for what
Stock came.
The future of the livestock market ap
pears very much in doubt at the mo
ment. For previous seasons there has
been a mixture of tones and values for
the period that compares with that
about to oome. A year ago there was
a weaker ahowlng In cattle values and
prices tended down, although no change
waa made on this date In 1907. This
weakness was due to the Increase In ar
rivals; spring having opened ami cattle
men wanted some ready cash. Two
years ago the conditions wer Just the
reverse of what they were last suason
In fact they resembled the present
market Receipts were small at that
time and all attempts of killers to da
press values had no effort upon quo
tations. Other Markets Are rirm.
Were It In the power of killers they
would cause a depression of values
throughout the livestock market but re
ceipts are such that not only are they
unable to accomplish their purpose but
the market Is stronger than ever and
both hogs and sheep are holding stiff.
Former quotations ars the rule. In
neither line were there any arrivals for
the 48 hours a condition similar to the
one that ruled on this day a year and
two years ago.
A year ago today rattle were easier
with prices unchanged but sheep were
very firm and hogs good and steady.

Loss of Fully 25c a Bar
rel From Price.
There Is a very dismal outlook in the
export flour trade at the moment The
orient will not pay the present prices
asked by Pacific coast millers and buy
ers on the other side are coming back
with offers of business at a reduction
of fully 26o a barrel from present quota
tions. This the millers are unable to
confirm because of the high price of
wheat
There has been a slight revival In ex
port wheat trade althougn the business
up to this time Is not on an extensive
scale. Some business has resulted at
Printed prices. Millers are selling and
uvina wheat for exnort: this branch of
the trade seeming to be more profitable
at the moment . than awaiting export
flour business which fails to materialize.

DOCTOR CURED HIMSELF
The Novel Method He Adopted for
Treating Tuberculosis.
Pes Moines Register.
Dr. Hilger returned to this city some
three months ago returned, his friends
said, to die. And yet he has cheated
the Brim visitor. A tent, especially
constructed, was procured. A house in
the hill aistricts was rented, ana mtz.
Kll0?!! SSEl L I
by an expressman with the tent.
i... ij.v-ou .f-r- I
Into this airy dwelling the doctor,
then seemingly face to face with death,
was olaced. Soon the effect of the
treatment was manifest. Living in the
tent, hi meals brouaht to him from
the residence hard'by by his wife, the
oxygen began to build up tne diseased
tissues.
At nisrht. with no protection save the
canvas roor above, tne aoctor Sleeps in
the oDen-a r house, and gradually tne
strange life began to put a bloom on his
cheeks that had been foreign to tnem
for over a year. His breathing; seldom
was stopped by the hacking cough as
It had been prior to tne trial or tne
open-air treatment.
Tne cure is regaraea oy nis meaicai
associates as well as the general pub
lic aa marvelous. Plenty of sleep, strict
attention to diet end the careful nurs-
nr of a devoted wife, together with un
diluted and unstinted fresh air, are
making Dr. Hilger a new man.
In his few months life out of doors
he hae gained almost 26 pounds In
weight. No vestige or tne aougn now
remains. He Is coming Into his own.
He will be in condition to resume his
practice in a few months. What all the
nostrums known to medical science
were powerless to do the osone of the
Iowa pralrien has accomplished.
Paradise for Servants.
From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
"Kverv kltcnen has a winnow with
one Dane out, in the Brazilian town of
Rio Grande do Sul," said a cook. "That
town is a servants' paradise.
Servants live in tnelr own hom
there, aa they should everywhere. They
come to work at 7 in the morning and
they quit at 7 at night A 12-hour
day. Quite long enough.
Tne paneiess window is for the
milkman, the baker, the butcher, so
that these traders can leave their sup
plies they usually oome aarly In a
safe plaoe. The Rio Grande servant
is. of course, not there to receive them.
She Is In bed at her own home."

to be coal oil, at Troutdale, has been
begun against the Standard Oil com.
pany In the circuit court by her father.
Ernest Peterson. Recently a Jury In

NOT SO BAD.
Barry McCormirk Tells How to Make
Scalped Tickets Good.
From the Washington Star.
When Barry McCormlck waa playing
a crack infield position for the Chicago
National league club, and In those
days McCormlck was a prince of ball
players, the railroad companies In the
west were et war with the ticket scalp
ers. Chicago then, a now. the largest
tlcket-scalplng headquarters in the
world, naturally received the undivided
attention of the chief railroad moguls,
and the war thev waged on the specu
lators was ruthless to a degree.
lLttle business was done for some
time in the ticket-scalping line, as the
buyers were afraid to take a chance of
having the train ticket dishonored when
It was presented to the conductor.
Jimmy Ryan, who was then playing
with the Windy City outfit, has always
been noted for hie thrifty proclivities,
and as a money-gatherer James has a
whole lot of embryo Russell Sages
beaten. So when the scalpers' war wss
on Jimmy wasn't feaxed so badly but
that he would still continue to do busi
ness with the scalpers.
One day, though, when Jimmy bought
a ticket for a little town in Illinois,
where he had some property Interest,
his ticket was passed back to him
when he shoved It under the con
ductor's nose.
Of course Ryan had to dig Into his
leans for his fare, and when he got
back to Chicago and showed up at the
clubhouse, he told the fellows about his
experience, and Jlmmv was hot. too.
r'What kind of a ticket was It,
Jimmy 7" asked McCormlck, who had
Just come into the clubhouse.
Ryan, "and the guy wouldn't accept It
on that account.
"Well, that can be easily remedied,"
cried Barry, as he began to unrobe.
"How?" yelled Jimmy, who was now
ail attention.
"Why, get a bottle of hair restorer."
said Barry, "and treat It to a couple of
Dams, meemy rep ilea Mcuormick, as
he ducked to avoid the shoe which was
hurled in his direction.
NEBRASKA WOLF HUNT.
Of 29 Rounded Up 23 Were Killed
How Br'er Wolf Escapes.
From the Hastings Tribune,
The residents of the north edge of
Adams county and the south edge of
I I .11 ........ t .nv,ll.A,. I a t
yeVterday i'n h.chntvlthreVwolvl
wero captured out of twenty-five
rounded up. It is claimed that thla Is
a record breaker for the state.
WolC hunts are all the go, but aa a
rule Br'er Wolf shows a clean pair of
heels and gets away. In a roundup last
Saturday In Farmers township an un
fortunate was caught napping, the oth
ers slipped through the line. Monday a
hundred or more men and boys organ
ised a hunt on the river bottom directly
east of town. One wolf waa killed,
one at least, and possibly more, escaped
by hiding in the grass.
Their hair Is the color of the dead
grass, and a wolf will lie flat and not
be seen by a hunter only a rod or so
away,- and when the line passes he
makes a run for his life.
The hunt announced last week for
Sumner township came off Wednesday,
when one wolf was killed and four got
away. The hunts afford considerable
sport, evon though they get few wolves.
Lsually at the end of a roundup there
WV, b? Jot 01 isckrabbita and cotton
tails in tho ring, and when the shot,
guns are turned loose It Is a reminder
of a skirmish line in action.
TRYING IT ON THE DOG.
From the New York Sun.
An Innovation in the department of
elocution at Syracuse University is to
be tried. The students are to get what
is called laboratory work.
They will be lent out to any function
in towns near by where the entertaln-
ineni commmee reels tne need or a
speaker. In three ways It Is eetlmated
that this will work out well. The needs
of the small towns will be supplied, the
students Will get much needed practice
and the name and Influence of Syracuse
will be spread.
Just how the persons who attend the
functions to be entertained will regard
It the department of elocutions at Syra
cuse does not attempt to say.
