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.

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. Some horses may make

him go pretty fast in these slow
classes, however.At Sacramento the
other day he shoved along at 2:15J
to win one of the heats. 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.

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. East Oregonian.

W. E. Yortng don't like old Sol's
namesake and wont have them
around. He is gently rearing a

four times and "top dressed" it.
He thinks there is something work

"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

Eastern Oregon Crops.

is turning out better than the ex
pectations. This condition is es
Deciallv evident on low ground.

the average. There is a- smaller
acerage of barley. Spring
60wn grain crops are still sufiering.

crops in Wasco and Sherman are

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.

though if the warm, dry weather
continues the potatoes will be

from last season, will improve the
prospects for the winter. There
