P. M. KIRKLAND, Prop'r PIONEER DRUG STORE. THEY WANT HOGS. Pacific Meat Company Cannot" Secure Enongh to Run Them. II. F.- Putman Bays the E. O., buyer for the Pacific Meat Com pany, alighted from the W. & C. R. train Monday evening and made preparations immediately to go in to the Wallowa country to inter view the stock men. Mr. Putman has just been in Tacoma. He Baid to a reporter that his packing bouse company is now prepared to kill and handle 500 hogs per day. Only 150 are actually bung killed. The reason why the . amount of pork they are putting up is so small is because hogs cannot be purchased in sufficient quantities. The company wants hogs and wants them badly. They are buy ing all the good ones which can be found and searching out new terri tory from which to ship" from Ta coma. The Pacific company has been able to supply no more than current needs. As fast as the pork has been put up, it has been shipped out. In fact, the house has been pushed up to supply the demand, , All this should encourage farm ers to raise more hogs. In Spo kane, Tacoma and Portland are extensive packing establishments, and each has increased rather than diminished the capacity for hand ling porkers. In several localities the hog industry has been wonder fully developed and in a year or two will be double present propor tions. ' A Re lie of Early Days. . " Mr. Wiuans. who lives at the fisheries (above The Dalles, hag in his possession a stencil bearing the name of Captain Meriweather Lewis who, in company with Clarke, made the famous Lewis and Clarke ex pedition in 1804. The stencil was used for marking goods belonging ' to Captain Lewis, and came into the possession of the Winans family a long time ago. The relic is in good condition", and its- ancient appfarAnce tells a mute story of an early day. Mr. Winans has prom ised to ship the stencil to a relative of Captain Lewis in the East, who wishes to look at it, and promises faithfully to return it. The express company will be given instructions not to let it go from the office, so . richly is it treasured by its owner. A Pendleton Horse. The Oregonian says of Chehalis: "Frank Frazier's handsome black stallion Chehalis won a fine race at Sacramento, but this has not surprised Oregon horsemen. It is generally believed by those who know horses when they see them that Chehalis is a wonder. Cer tain it is that he paced a mile at Irvington .in a tryout in the fast time of 2:11 fiat, and was pulled up three lengths from the wire. The track was very heavy, too, the morning Chehalis was caught mak ing such fast time. His courEe will be watched with great interest while on the California circuit. Frazier has him entered in a lot of slow races that he is sure to take in one-two-three order. They are snaps.

But this was like play for Chehalis. He will not find any horses fast enough to push him hard until he gets in to the free-for-all or 2:12 or 2:10 class. Chehalis is another son of the gr6at Altamont and a full bro ther of Del Norte and Touchet. Frazier was offered $5000 for him at Irvington three weeks ago by W. II.' Simpson of Los Angeles. He refused the proffer, and said he would not tell him for $7000. Chehalis is certainly a great horse a? true and honest as steel." Estimate of the Yield. Col, J, H. Raley and D. A. Fat tulo have returned from a tour of Urrfatilla county, on which they give very close attention to the condition of the crops. They have carefully estimated the amount of grain in the fields, and on the ba sis of last year's crop, in their opinion, the yield will be between one-fourth and one-third. The spring grain is not going to cut much figure in the amount to be be harvested, and to a large ex tent, is an absolute failure. There is quite a large amount of good fall sown wheat which will yield up to the accustomed standard of production. There will be con siderable shrunken wheat and the average grade will -be low. The estimate of these two gentle man is based on accurate knowl edge of all parts of the county prior to their visit, and their tour has given them such further informa-. tion as makes their opinion of greatest value.

"But you eastern people are so conventional," "said the western beauty to a Boston young man, who was regarding her with half fearful admiration. "Your language is so unpicturesque. Now, I think our slang is delightful; it is most suggestive, don't you know. You can express ever so much more than you would dare to say in or dinary parlance," she continued coquetishly. "Oh, do talk slang to me then," begged the youth fatuo tously. "Oh come off the freight," she responded at once with a chirming smile. "What!" he answered, quite bewildered. "Get on the passenger, do." she contin ued laughing. "I haven't any idea what you mean," he exclaimed des pairingly, "Why, I only wanted to say that you were too slow," she exclaimed wickedly. "Look out for yourself," he cried at last last "catching on," "I'm on the ex press." ' North Powder Horror.

The decision, of the World's fair authorities in favor of Ayers's Sarsaprilla was in effect as follows: "Ayer's Sarsaprilla is not a patent medicine, It does not be long to the list of nostrums. It is hereon its merits." , bverdose of Morphine. Ada Mvers, a young abandoned woman of Baker City died Saturday morning from an overdose of mor phine.

Crops of fall-sown grain is turning out better than the ex pectations. This condition is es Deciallv evident on low ground. Barley sown in the fall in a good crop, though the yield will be below the average. There is a- smaller acerage of barley. Spring 60wn grain crops are still sufiering. Warm, dry weather has made a failure of them as a rule. The crops in Wasco and Sherman are very good, approaching near to the ADAGE SAYS I $ 6.75 - 7.18 1 Atherm, Oregon, average. Recently great numbers of grasshoppers have come over in to Wasco and Sherman from the adjacent counties on the east, and they have done much damage " to crops in general, though all crops are advanced. The oat crop seems to have suffered the most. On low land, where the oata are green the grasshoppers have cut off the stalk as well as the blade. The average yield of fall-sown grain will also be reached in the Walla Walla valley, but the spring-sown has suffered in that section. Wasco and Sherman counties and in Wala Walla valley will produce a good quality of fall-sown grain. In the other Columbia valley counties the berry will be small, and in some sections the grain will be shriveled. Only grain on low ground will produce a good. quality. '. In sections of Union, and Baker counties some spring grain had. been cut for hay, since the warm weather dispelled the the hope, that it would still fill and become a fair crop. A conservative esti mate of the grain crop south and east of the Blue mountains is two thirds of an average. A very good quality will be produced in Mal heur, Klamath and Harney from the irrigated lands. Grasshoppers are still doing destructive work. Early frosts damaged raort. grain than the drouth in the elevated sections. There is an abundance of fruit, and the fruit shipments are very large. Peaches, plums, and early apple's are of the finest 3uality. J all apples will be abun ant, j Potatoes are still green though if the warm, dry weather continues the potatoes will be small and the yield light. Hay ing continues with generally light yields. The spring wheat and oats which have been cut for hay, to gether with the old hay left over from last season, will improve the prospects for the winter. There are some very good fields of alfala.
