of the Swift plant at Portland will
do this for dairying.
It will require many hundreds of
cattle dally to supply the Swift plant
when in operation. It will mean a
better market for stock on this coast

SUGGESTIONS TO OR EGON IANS
If the American Field can but pre
vail upon the rising generation of
hunters to be sportsmen in the
truest sense of the term; to hunt for
recreation and pleasure instead of for
a big bag: to be satisfied with a
day's outing even before the legal
limit has been secured; to kill only
for themselves and their nearest
friends and not for market; to give
every. game animal and game bird a
fair show for its life, it will feel that
It has accomplished at least a part of

not been spent in vain.

paper, a' semi-weekly instead of. a'

probably take place about the time of
