He found that horse tiy' it is not used for food in Londonut-itf hawked about the etreeta for cat meat. Large numbers ofi-broken down hack, horses .are shipped from Lon don, to the various cjties of the con tinent to bei slaughtered for food. Large quantities of jiorse meat are sold in the cities above named, dealers Uni the' article having a large horse head for. a sign, and dealing in no other incl rf meat. Horse steaks sell fop 12 cents par pound, which is aDout bne:third the price of beef, ' Much horse'meat is used m makine ausasres. and many of the poorer; jses seldom or ever ea. other kinJf meat. It is about the only kied s of meat the working-man 'can atford' and he wants it in a fresh state. Thous ands of laboring people, do not eat meat "onoe" a week,and most of them for their nooilay meal have nothing but a piece -of coarse rye The chances fot sftlling American horse meat in Europe are not very favorablo. Only.thoj choicest pieces like the hams can be shipped at all, and, in order that these can be shipped with any profit , at all, it will bo necessary for transportation companies to give lower rates than rule at present. If satisfactory ar rangements could be;, made in this respect it would helr to build up a ousiness whicn would,, be of , great benefit to this state,' as it would enable' horse growef to get many, thousands of 'dollars for" horses which otherwise ae worthless,, : ' Difference n Bills.

' :'i .. , ; - A Narrow, Escape. . r i 1 ; On the west siile of the Blue mountains there ate several farm houses close to the railroad track and in some o them live families. A freight train was going down the mountains at thai usual rate of speed, and after roimding a surve the engineer saw a' qhild sitting in the middle, of the track about half a mile ahead. . He at once ap plied the ai&and stopped the train just in time to prevent a tenible accident. Just as the train stop ped a man appeared; from the side of the track and picked up the ohild walked into the house near by. The engineer siarted his train again-and went on down the moun tain.

He brought Earnest with him, and an examination of the boy's back disclosed the fact that, while there was evidence of corporal punish ment, he was not, as had been stat ed, excessively punished. Mr. Ruppe said his son had committed no offense ; that, would justify - the action and he could not account for the teacher's action. On Wednes day, he said, Ernest arid another boy jumped on a cart on their wjiy home from : school but he thinks they ..did.. not . violate the school rules and regulations in any way. t'm In Favor ofWatrul'.'" fUj' j' Inthe case of thecash-entry.con- test of Austin II, Six against .Ly-. man -M.

The land office decided in favor , of Watrus, holding an entry cannot ' be can celled on mere suspiciori of fraud, and that more convincing evidence is necessary. ; ' - 1 j The Freewater Postoffice. j There is a quiet war in progress over the Freewater postoffice. The present poetmaster, p. E, .

For some reason the Barnes petition has not been acted upon, and now Miss Jennie Thomp son thinks she would like the po sition and in accordance with that desire has also circulated a petition which has been quite numerously signed. . i ' ' ; ' j ; - Scabby Sheep. " "4 1 ; The prevalence of scab among several large bahda of 'sheep in Umatilla county,' has caused wide spread alarm among the owners of gheep.' Some weeks ago it was re ported that five or six bands were afflicted,- but the disease has in creased to such an alarming extent that now it is. said the 'number of bands will reach into' the neighbor hood of fifty.
