Said another passenger, "Going Hunting? "Yep," said the hunter. "Got a dog?" said the other man. "Yeah," said the hunter in a con fidential whisper, "and getting him into this hotel was the slickest trick I ever pulled. Nobody saw us and the dog is up in my room right now. Are you a hunter, too?" No. beamed the other fellow with his best smile. "I'm the man ager of this hotel."

Of particular interest to Ore gon livestock men was the reso lution urging discontinuance of cattle indemnities in connection with the control of brucellosis (Bang's disease) until interstate traffic in vaccine is brought un der control and a sound proce dure in control of this disease is reached by the federal bureau of animal industry. As a preventa tive measure, the group urged that every state review its laws and regulations governing live stock auction sales and sales fa cilities.

King, supervisor of the local office, reported Thurs day. The office, however, is closed to the public. All cases of reported local price violations which were pending when the "cease ooeration" or der came through last month are being transferred to Seattle for further processing. King said. During the past three months about IS instances of price ced ing violations (mostly on auto sales) were , reported to the of fice from Salem, he said. , The staff of seven who are putting the office in order for closing will be placed in federal or state Jobs, or will go Into pri vate business.
