WOKKHG FILL FORCE. iOclio Rabbit Cannery Putting: 1 P lOOO Pounds Daily. W. II. Boyd, president of the Echo American Hare Packing and Cold Stor age Company, was in Pendleton last evening and this morning, returning home on the delayed train today. He says the cannery is running steadily with a force of 13 people, and is canning about 1,000 pounds of American hare each day, says the East Oregonian. I&They have over4,000 pounds of the prepared article on hand now, awaiting the labels and this morning had 1,000 dressed rabbits in cold storage. . The cannery could handle more meat if cans could be secured, but the capac ity of the tinshop at which the cans are nisde i8 taxed and the cannery is wait ing fnr a lau'u Ripply of cns. Ho far as tested the meat cinned has proved to be canned in perfect order, as not the slightest per cent of loss ha bfen experienced. The utmost care if taken to follow a scientific method of canning, and the company feels that all difficulties have been avoided by thin caution and care. Mr. Boyd says the small drives made occasionally supply more rabbits than necessary for the use of the cannery, wit h the limited number of cans on hand and it is hoped to secure a large ship ment of cans soon. Several dozen cans of samples were distributed among the different grocery stores in the city, and the company will 'introduce the goods in the different points on the Pacific Coast by this meth od. Orrffnn'w Livestock. The va'ue of Oregon's livestock for the year 1903 will amount in round numbers to $41,488,914. These figures show that the livestock interests of the state are rapid'y showing an incrtase. There is no better place in the country for the maintenance of livestock than the state of Oregon and this is the reason why each year the total value of the stock of the state is growing larger. In Eastern Oreffnn the conditions are favornb'e for the grazing of large herds an 1 men engaged in the raiding of stock have become wealthy in that section during the past few years. Latest sta'istics show that there are 734,742 cattle in the Mate which at the present market price are valued at $18,- Good Pills Ayer's Pills arc good liver pills. You know that.

Egbert, the elayer of Deputy Sheriff Saxton, of Harney county, passed through John Day, Sunday night on his way to the penitentiary, where he will pay the penalty of his awful crime by hanging, says the News. He was accom panied by Sheriff Allen and a guard, and was driven out by Chae. Parrrsh. The prisoner was brought as far as Sil vies by special stage, where the driver, Ben Cozad, was relieved by Tom Morri 80D. The schedules for giying the mur derer a swift and sure ride to his death was planned and carried out without a break. The crime for which Egbert was sen tenced to pay the death penalty was not only a savage one, but particularly vis cious as being directed against the offi cers of the law in the discharge of their duties. Threats of lynching were in dulged in, but wiser counsel prevailed and the course of law rapidly hurried the guilty man to his doom. He grew despondent and, just prior to his contem plated journey, made a desperate at tempt to commit suicide by butting his brains out against the walls of his prison cell. The date set for his execution is Jan uary 29, and he will be the first prisoner executed at the state's prison under the new law. I'rineville is Skeptic The report concerning the extnision of the Columbia Southern to Bend next vear has created quite a difference of opinion locally, says the Crook Oounty Journal. Nearly every one treats the matter as such incidents have been treated in the past with a smile of skepticism. But there are a few who seem willing to Btake on the truth of the report, and the result has been many bets as to the future operations of the railroad in question. The first of the week seyeral wagers were made. Hats, money, cigar and several other articles figured in the stakes. The bets rangpd from one to three years and the conditions were that no railroad would enter Crook county in that time. A number of bets on the two year limit went begging for acceptance and are probably still on the market. In the meantime, however, real estate over at Ljtle, the objective point of the proposed extension, apparently is en joying a period of prosperity. J. L McCulloch, who is agent for the town site company's city property, sold five lots to Portland parties last Thursday. The purchaees were made oyer the tele phone on the strength of the O.-egon-ian's article statiog that the road would be built into the interior of the state next year. ;i r.sxs of tiii: city. Livestock Delegates to he Well Kn tertninetl. Thirty-five hundred dollars will be appropriated for the entertainment of the delegates to the National Livestock Association and their wives while they are guests in Portland from January 11 to 15, inclusive. The special committee appointed by the general executive com mittee in charge of the local end of the convention, to arrange a programme for the entertainment of the delegates and their wives, while in the city, submitted the following program at the meeting of the general executive committee at the Commercial Club: Catarrh Is a discharge from the mucous mem brane of the )';c, throat, stomach, bowels etc., when kept in a state of inflammation by un impure condition of the blood and a v.ant of tone in the system. Footha th.3 inflame 1 membrane, strengthen the Yieukemvl system, and the discharge will stop to do this purify the blood. "I was troubled v.ith catarrh for years and tried various remedies but found noth ing that would rure me. 1 then resolved to try Hood's Sarsaparilla and took four bottles which entirely cured me. I have never been troubled with catarrh since. As a blood purifier I can find nothing else equal to Hood's Sarsaparilla." William Sherman, HMO bin St., Milwaukee, wis. Hood's Sarsaparilla Cures catarrh radically and perma' nently removes its cause and over comes all its effects. Tuesday evening, January 13, general reception to delegates and their wives, at the Commercial Club (with music.) Wednesday afternoon, January 13, re ception to ladies at the Portland Hotel (lnncheon and music.) Thursday afternoon, January 14, street car rides to Vancouver, Lewis and Clark Fair grounds, Mount Tabor and Oregon City. Theaters in the even ing.

LuDcheon, Re freshments, etc. To carry out this programme the com mittee recommended that $3500 be ap propriated. While this programme ha uot been definitely decided upon, it will be practically carried out as submitted to the general executive committee. The committee in charge of the local end of the convention are working dili gently to make the convention one of the most successful ever held, and the hearty support being given by Port lmd's representative business people( assures the committees every success in their undertakings. Up to the present time $0000 has been raised to defray the expenses of the convention, and the committees in charge of the subscription work will continue their efforts until at least $10 000 has been secured. A PKINCULY SALARY. Homer Davenport Signs up Willi Munsey Company for 850,000. According to a letter recently received by L. B. Geer, of Salem, from his son Bert, in New York City, Homer Davrn port, the celebrated cartoonist and cari caturist, has signed a contract with the Frank A. Munsey Company, of New York, publishers of the Munsey Maga zine, for a term of five years at 850,000 per year, with the specific agreement that he is to make not less than two car toons a month, says the Statesman. Homer Davenport resigned his position as cartoonist for the New York Journal and other Hearst papers and intended to start out upon a lecturing tour at $25, 000 per year for a term of five years. When about ready to sign up he was of ferred an engagement with the Munsey Company for $50,000, bat he received nitice from W. R. Hearst not to sign up for that amount until he heard from him. From the news contained in his letter it would appear that Mr. Hearst could not do any better for him and that he had accepted the Munsey offer. Mr. L. B. Geer is an uncle of Homer Davenport.
