Chicago— In the face o f a steady de
cline in the price of hogs and the corn
on which they are fed, Chicagoans
who desired to eat bacen discovered
that they were compelled to pay the
highest price ever obtained for the salt
meats in times o f peace— 35 cents a
pound sliced.
If the housewife was willing to cut
it up herself she might have this fig
ure reduced to three pounds for $1, but
that was the best she could do. It was
up, and to all appearances would stay
at this record-smashing figure for some
months.
For a number of mysterous reasons
that still are unexplained, the forces
that usually result in hammering the
price of bacon down seemed to have an
opposite effect upon the food.
The packers insisted that they could
not get enough hogs to supply the de
mand; that they were losing money
because the porkers were not being re
ceived at the stockyards.
However, the market report showed
that the .demand for live hogs was
weak and that they were left standing
in the pens daily. It showed also that
the prices are now much lower for the
live hog than six months and a year
ago, when no retailer would have con
sidered asking 35 cents for a pound of
bacon.
The average price paid for hogs at
the stockyards was $8.49 per hundred,
as against an average of slightly more
than $10 six months ago.
Market re
ports for a year ago show that from 10
to 25 cents per 100 pounds more was
paid for porkers than is being paid by
the packers now.
Corn, the pork producing cereal, also
hss been falling consistently but with
out any effect on the price of the fin
ished product.
New York, Oct. 27.— Alan R. Haw
ley and Augustus Post, the aeronauts
of the balloon America II, for whom
search had been prosecuted in the Ca
nadian wilds, are safe and have estab
lished a new world’s record for sus
tained flight. They traveled approxi
mately 1,850 miles, and came to earth
in Chicoutimi county, Quebec, on
Wednesday, October 19, but were not
heard from until today, when tele
grams sent from St. Amjaroise, Que
bec, reached New York.
The balloonists started from St.
Louis with nine other contestants in
the international contests on Monday,

Victoria, B. C.—Oct 27.— Driven by
a high wind, fire tonight threatens the
entire business section o f the city.
Several prominent buildings in the
heart of the city have already been
destroyed and many others, it is
feared, will go.
The Five Sisters block, one of the
largest office buildings in the city,
standing on the corner o f Fort and
Government streets, was completely
wiped out. The telephone service has
been given up, the poles which lead
out of the central office, across the
| road from the burning section, having
j been burned down. Several yachts in

sparks which blew over into the harbor

Port Townsend, Wash.—The natives
of the Aleutian islands are threatened
with extinction because of the ravages
o f tuberculosis, measles and pneumo
nia, according to a report brought by j
the revenue cutter Tahoma, flagship of
the Behring sea seal patrol fleet. Cap- I
tain J. H. Quinlan, of the cutter, de- I
dares that remedial action is impera- j
tive.
Captain Quinlan advocates the as- |
sembling of all the tribes and clans, _
now scattered in isolated camps, at
some point where they may receive
medical supervision.
He says condi
tions in the archipelago are pathetic.
The natives would undoubtedly resist
concentration, still they witness help
lessly the extinction of their race. The
Aleutians are famous for the beauty of
the baskets which they , weave from
grasses.
