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

moat part grown In Eastern Oregon and

"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

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

delicacies lis scent Is exquisitely keen.

It will plow up a row of snow drops

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

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

BATTLE GROUND SELECTED.
For the Corbett-Fltasimmons Fight
Stewart Puts Up the Purse.
Dallas, Texas, savember 28. There
was unusual activity In local sporting
circles today, and all on account of the
promise of Don Stuart that he would
offer a purse for a finish fight between
Corbett and Fitsslmmons. At 8 o'clock
tonight Stuart sent for a reporter of
the Associated Press and made known
his Intention of authorising the publi
cation of the following:
I have offered a purse of 315,000 to
be contested for by Corbett and Ffts
simmons In a fight to a finish for the
championship of the world. Each prin
cipal must deposit 32,500 as a guarantee
of his appearance in the ring. The time
and place shall be announced when the
men have signed articles of agreement
and the full amount of the purse will
be deposited when the signatures of
Corbett and Fitxslmmons have been ob
tained. This is my ' offer, and it has
been wired to the principles. The bat

better advantage than on former even

The matinee In the afternoon was
fairly well attended. The hornpl; e

WHEAT AGAIN RISES
Only to Drop Back Under the Influence
of Heavy Selling.
Chicago. November 28. 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. Huddleson Is charged with
denouncing Woodward as a blackmailer
and causing slander to be published.
Huddleson gave bonds soon after his
arrest and was released.
