Which Muk the Hast llnm ami Bacon In the World. 4'lataop munty tan raise pnrk. Clataop county la going to raise the finest Mirk In the Northwest. Thme are statement made by a gentleman who haa for a lifetime been engaged In the parking buslneaa and knows whrenf he speaks. It haa been aald time and again and reiterated hundred of times, that Clutaop county cannot mine hog bemuse she cannot produce grain upon which to feed them. With these Ideas In mind, an Aatorian representative called on a well known pork packer a few days a-o and asked him how many hogs were parked In this state by his Institution, which la the principle one and perhaps the only one In the state. He replied: 1 jut year we packed 10,000 head of: hoga, all of which were raised In the j atate of affairs that the gorgeous spec state of Oregon. They were for the lacle has been Infused with fresh cur- moat part grown In Eastern Oregon and In th Willamette Valley, very few be ing received from other portions of the state." "Po you think It practicable and feas ible for Clatsop county, where little or no grain la raised, to raise hoga at such a cost as would Justify our farmers In going Into the buslm-aa?" "I most certainly do think that your people can raise hogs profitably. Your i climate In Clatsop Is very similar to j that of Ireland. Now you know that J the horn made ham and bacon produe-1 ed on the farms In Ireland are perhaps j the finest grade of god to be found anywhere. Thn product Is limited, and ' every pound finds a ready sale at fancy ! prices on the London and liublin mar- . krt. I understand that It Is the Danleh ' and Irish, hogs that have recently been raining Calne In the Kiutllxh market. I am rredltulily Informed that these hogs are rained on eighty per cent of potatoes, cabbaga, siuah, turnips and such like vegetables, which are thor oughly cooked before feeding After the hogs are grown they are hnrdened and flnlshcrl off on groin, and the re- suits hnve proved most aatUtfactory. The nieut is sweet and extremely pal- atuble, of much finer quality than the inllnary corn-fisl animal, and always demanda a good price. The pig, though greedy and omnivorous, when kept In a sty. and a veny foul feeder on the! New Zealand runs. Is most particular In Its choke of food a when running wild In English Woods. Its -special dainties are underground roots and tu- bers, and It Is the only animal except man which appreciates and seeks fori the trultle. For all these underground delicacies lis scent Is exquisitely keen. If by any chance a pig enters the gar- den at the time when bulbs are planted, It will plow up a row of snow drops or crocus roots, follow lug the llii- us readily as If they lay exposed upon tne surface. Tou raise down In Clatsop, quantities of magnificent turnips, po - tatoes and cabbages which sometimes go to waste. I am firmly convinced that It would pay your people to buy stock inled, the managers claim to have na tions and raise them on the Irish plan, j sembled a chorus of beautiful young finishing them off with a little grain, When you get your railroad through and the big ships are loading grain at your harbor. It w ill be easy and cheap to secure the neeeiwary amount of grain for the purpose. You must, however, be extremely c&reful that your hogs do not run at large where they can feed upon fish, for this absolutely spoils them for consumption. I have known hams and bacon to be thrown out of the market after being thoroughly smoked and cured, because still retain ing the fish flavor incurred by the ani mals feeding In and about ponds open to big rivers like yours in Clatsop." Few realise the growth of the packing business In Oregon. A visit to the mag nificent plant of the Union Meat Com pany In Portland, would soon convince the most skeptical that while the busi ness has already reached large propor tions, It Is yet In its Infancy In this state. This large establishment la con ducted upon the latest scientific plans, and handles besides the hogs mentiond, thousands of head of beef and many thousands of mutton every year. Its slaughtering establishment Is at Trout- dale, on the Columbia, seventeen miles east of Portland. Here the animals are ! killed and dressed, and then shipped by the carload to the Portland packing establishment, where they ore prepared for market or cured and packed. All of the work Is done In cold storage rooms and these large apartments as well aa the cold storage pickle rooms dry salt rooms, the lard rooms, the can ning department, the smoke houses, ate all models of cleanliness. The compuny owns Its own water plant, electric llKht plant, and has In Its employ scores of experienced men. Its products ore rap idly gaining a wide reputation, and upon the principle of supporting home Industry, the formers of every section of this atate should see that there are plenty of cattle, hogs and sheep raised to supply this plant, and the people of the stnt. should to It that tli.y use Oregon hams, bacon ami ciritied" meats.

Charles HlooinlnKdnle, Jr., waa employed during the summer to revls and entirely re write the book, and the result of his work has placed him In the front rank of nmicdy wrlu?rs. Clarence itogerson, the tulented comlucuw of the Cortnne Kxtravajfanxa Company, has reiilac-l I many of the numbers of the old score with some sparkling gems which are In j aa-rord with tlie Kplrlt of the times. While the old llcndrtck, Jr., waa one of the sterling works of Its class two sea sons ago. many of It clever numbers were appropriated by other companies owing lo the laxity of copyright laws, and they have consequently lost the charm of novelty.

The ! staJte Is brilliantly lighted by expensive ! electrical appliances which are carried by the company In their own cars. The worthiness of the famous young star, whose name from the time of her prat tling babyhood has been familiar to the Inhabitants of two continents, was the Incentive to her managers in the great expense which they cheerfully as sumed in providing her with suitable environment. The steady progress which she has made In the realm of music and the unquestioned subtlety of her art as an actress Is the outcome of an Inborn talent which has been foster ed and cultivated by studlousness and energy.

For the Corbett-Fltasimmons Fight Stewart Puts Up the Purse. Dallas, Texas, savember 28.

Her prayer for her lover before retiring was very touching. Miss Carle was Lady Allcash last night, and appeared to better advantage than on former even ings. Her fine contralto voice again charmed her hearers. The other mem bers of the company acquitted them selves creditably and It was with much regret that the audience saw the cur tain go down on the last act. The matinee In the afternoon was fairly well attended. The hornpl; e dance and Miss Johnson's rendition o. "I Want You, My Honey," and her encore with "Baby," were among the best features. Miss Carle's "Oh, Prom ise Me." was very well received. "The Typical Tune of Zanzibar" was warm ly applauded.

Wheat open ed very Arm today. The general condi tions at the opening were decidedly bullish. The cables were all hlghx, both from the United Kingdom and the Continent, and all domestic markets were very strong. Northwestern re ceipts were again light, but there were two many people who had good profits in long wheat, which they were willing; to accept, to permit of the firmness Do ing long-continued, and some of the heaviest holders became free sellers. May, which closed yesterday, at 84 opened from 85li to 85Mi. It sold for a moment as high as 85 before the tura came. That was the highest price for the day and was also the top price of the season so far. The market had, however, hardly made Its new record" before it began to decline. The demand for cash wheat had been choked oft temporarily, at least by the big ad vance, and that helped the longs ln making up their minds to get out and wait and In fact was the principal rea son for the weakness. The closing price for May was 83tf84. HIGH TREASON. Much Excitement In Germany's High Circles. Berlin, November 28. The revelations of the Hamburger Nachrichten will not after all be allowed to pass without ju dicial Inquiry. The Frankfurter Zel tung today carried out Its threat and denounced the Hamburger Nachrichten before the states attorney for high trea son, and the Koenlgsburg Zeltung did the same. Both actions are due to these two newspapers being prosecuted by the government for indiscreetly pub lishing state news. A. P. A. FIGHT. San Francisco, November 28. B. F. Huudleson, state president of the A. P. A., was arrested today on a charge of criminal libel preferred by D. B. Wood ward. The arrest Is the result of a, row in the A. P. A. Woodward was charged with attempting to secure money from John D. Spreckles, by sell ing out the A. r. A. to him for political purposes.
