Vaccination with this virus does not
produce absolute Immunity, but the
percentage Is so high that It comes
nearly being perfect. The estimate of
immunity Is 97 per cent. Among hogs
not immunized the death rate from
the disease Is about 75 per cent of

the pig lull cutting takes place at the
agricultural college, the faculty of
which had Mr. Wilson as a member
when President McKlnley culled him
awuy to become secretary of agricul
ture. "The pigs that lose their talis at
Ames will be heroes, for through their
sucrlfice the salvation of other dwell
ers In plgdom will be assured. Inci
dentally the cost of producing the
pork that will enter Into next year's
supply of meat and meat food pro
ducts will be reduced ubout $15,000,
000. Were there no meat trusts to
keep up prices the possible benefit
would be distributed among .all the
people of the United States.
"From the bleeding talis of the
pigs collected at Ames will be produc
ed the serum needed to Immunize
other pigs from attacks of hog chol
era. Thore Is no way to fight thut
disease except by taking blood from
an animal that has withstood an at
tack of chpleia. Thore Is no way of
getting that blood so easily us from
the tall, in fact, that is the only way
It can be done except by taking the
life of the porker in the veins of
which runs the Immune bloud.
Until a short time ugu the loss
caused by hog cholera was computed
as part of the cost of producing pork.
Dr. M. Dorset, one of the scientists
of the bureau of anlmul IndUMtry, has
and deserves the credit for discover
ing the virus by means of which the
ravages of hog cholera may be great
ly reduced. The method of obtaining
It Is the result of seven years' work.
Before its discover" the anlmul loss
by reason - of the disease amounted
to at least 15,000,000.
Patent on Tail Culling.
When the discovery was ninde, Sec
retary Wilson, pursuing the policy
laid down by him several years ago,
had a patent Issued to Dr. Dorset, In
his name, but with a right to free
use by the people of the United States.
The people of other countries, desir
ing to muke or sell the hog cholera
virus according to the. Dorset method,
must pay the young scientist any roy
alty he may demand. It Is so easy
to steal his method that, though mil
lions niny he saved by reason of Its
Invention, he Is not getting Into the
sinfully rich clans with uny degree of
cf l rity.
The bug that cnus hog cholera Is
o minute that It has never been
enujeht, either under n microscope or
.n microscopic filter. Thcre is a par
.BHlle that henrs the name bacillus
Cholera sills, but It Is .not the hog
cholera buclllur, ns supposed at the
time It was discovered, roped and
tied. Dorset found that swine con
tracted cholera without the presence
of that parasite. Ho fouud also that
It could be Injected Into a perfectly
healthy nnimul anil not cause the dis
ease to appear. Hut he could not
catch the one that did cause th dam
Age. Notwithstanding his failure us a
hunter, hp found that by Injecting the
serum made from the blood of a hog
that hnd survived an attack of the
disease nn animal was rendered Im
mune. He also found that by . Inject
ing the blood of sn Infected pig on
one side and the serum on the other
the period of Immunity wns greatly
lengthened.
Mora Wood lit a Pig's Tall.
After the discovery of the serum
the great question was as to how' It
could be procured at a cOBt small
enough to warrant Its general use.
During the experiments It was all
right to sacrifice a whole animal.
But after the experimental stage was
passed It was obvious thut It would
make the remedy almost as expensive
us the disease. Until the tall was
though of the problem of how to get
blood of an Immune looked as great
as the original question. The vital or
gans and arteries of the hog lie deep.
To cut down to them means death to
the animal.
The tall was tried as a last resort.
Nobody thought of It at first, for the
reason that as a rule there are few
blood vessels in the tail of an animal;
so salvation did not appear to lie in
that direction. But the tall of a pig
differs from the caudal appendage of
other animals. It has a full share of
veins and arteries. The first -trial
convinced the scientists that 'the tail
will bleed, and bleed plentiful)', so
the probem of a source of supply
was easily solved.
The blood from one Immune animal
will supply serum for about 200 pork
ers. Four teuspoonfuls constitute a
dose, If ijot mixed with the blood of
a hog that has cholera. If that mix
ture can be made a smaller quantity
will do. The mixing Is done Inside
the hog without apparent discomfit
ure to him, as soon as the serum, In
jected Into one side, comes into con
tact with the Infected blood forced
Into the other. What happens inslds
Is only a matter of conjecture.

Henry Clews Soys Volume Is From 10
to 20 Tot Cent I'mler 1007.
Henry Clews snys of the volume of
business In the country as compared
to last year:
Business In general Is running be.
tween 10 and 20 per cent below last
year in volume, and In some coses
the shrinkage is even greater, the Iron
trade, for instance, running less than
60 per cent of Its capacity.
The lower range of prices establish, j
ed for many commodities also lessens
the requirements for money. Happily
these depressing elements are gradual- J
ly passing away; and surely, If slowly, j
we are recovering from the disasters j
of 1907. The great expansion of our
currency, however, has not received ,
the attention It deserves. '
According to the last statement Is- '
sued by the treasury department th j
omount of circulation In the United
States wns $3,045,000,000 or $264,000,- j

huge Increase, and comes at a time
when the supply of currency should
contract rnthrr than expand. Of this '
enormous circulation $1.399.nof.,AOO ;

BiihIiioso of Perry Mill Shown Heavy
Increase.
The Clrnnd Rondo Lumber com
pany nt Terry has within the past two
weeks received larger orders for lum
ber than at any similar period In the
past several years, says the La Grande
Star. The shipments to eastern mar
kets are now averaging four cars per
day. Tills Includes one car of fruit
boxes for Colorado orchards. The
company has a contract to supply 150
acrlonds of these boxes and this order
Is now about half filled.
In addition to this demand from the
east the company Is also supplying
several carloads for the local fruit
growers. Owing to the recent Increase In the
demand for lumber the Terry com
pany expects a much longer run this
year than usual. From present pros
pects the mills will he kept running
up to the first of November. The
supply of logs nt the mill pond ts
holding out well and Is being kept
replenished by the logging trains
which make daily trips and deliver
from 10 to 12 cars of logs per day,
There is now a very large aceumula.
Hon of lumber at the Perry yards
larger than in many years heretofore.
The estimated amount of lumber of
all kinds now on hand Is 14,000,000

TVPIIOW IX LUMBER CAMPS.
Palmer Lumber Company's Men on
Looking Glass Arc Stricken.
A typhoid fever epidemic hus brok
en out In the George Palmer lumber
camps on the Looking Glass, says the
La Grande Observer. Several vic
tims of the disease are now In the
Grande Bonde hospital, and though
not critically ill, thv have such at
tacks of the epidemic that they are
seriously ill.
The disease is not present at the
camps In Its most virulent form, but It
Is sufficient to deem a trip of Doctor
Bacon to the camps necessary. The
doctor went to the camps this morn
ing, intending to combine business
with pleasure, and while fishing In
that section of te country he will
also look Into the camp's sickness.
Every effort Is being made by the
company to stamp out the trouble be
fore it gets too strong a hold on the
men working there. In fact it Is al
ready under control and It Is not be
lieved there will be additional cases.
Baker's Carnegie Library,
When the bids for the new Carnegie
library were opened last night it was
found that none of them would com
wlt)!:i :'.'.o amount which Mr. Carne
gie has donated, and so a special

to revise the plans and bring the cod
of construction within the limits, says
the Buker City Herald. The lowest
bids were thoi-y. of C. W. Baldwin of
$22.4 ST, f.ir the building complete
without luating and plumbing, and 3.
J. Gleasmi of $2578 for the heating
