From the Press of Feb. 9 1894 Five persons were bitten by the little fox terrier which for a long time had been a favorite pet at Mrs. Harden's boarding house, and which became afflicted with rabies.

On the same train went Dr. Newsom for the purpose of making the necessary arrangements to secure the serum for treatment of patients here. The doctor was sucessful and is now giving the treatment to the three persons named above and also to Pearl Linn and Johnny Kothrock, who were also bitten by the dog. Dr. New som has placed himself in position to give the treatment to any person who in future may require it. lhe cost 01 the treatment is 1(35. Owners of dogs are evidently co operating with tne authorities it stamping out the disease, for no dogs are to be seen on the streets, except those wearing muzzles. One other doe, that belonging to Mr. DeFreece, residing near demons' hop mill, was immediately killed Monday, when it showed symptoms of rabies.

Daisley, of this city is holding a series of protracted meetings in Adams. It is, reported he preach-, ed Tuesday evening in the Baptist church of that city, but for some rea son that denomination would not let him have the house any longer, so the reverend gentleman is now explain ing the gospel in the old harness shop building to large audiences.

UMATILLA COUNTY INTERESTED Terminal Elevator Demanded at Portland, in Meeting Held There Recently. Athena Wallops Pendleton. For the first time since 1911, the local High school basket ball team reg istered defeat to a Pendleton High school aggregation, when the Athena boys met Pendleton on Pendleton's floor last Wednesday night. A double header contest was played, the Athena boysw inning 47 to 19 and the girls losing 27 to aSThe girls do not feel sorrowful overtneir defeat, owing to the fact that Pendleton has one of the fastest girls' teams in tha Northwest. The boys' game was characterized by roughness, 10 personal fouls being called on Athena and 9 on Pendloton. The locals put up the best game of the season, the main features being fault less passing and accurate basket shoot ing. The first halt ended zw to s in favor of Athena. The Pendleton boys came back in the last half with plenty of "pep," but the half resulted in an 18 to 11 score for Athena. McPherrin was the high point man for the locals, making 21 of the 4 points. Booher came next with 16, 4 of which were converted fouls. Tharp followed with i0 points. Dudley and Martin played great defensive games.

Further phenomenal gains were made in the livestock market at Seattle when a load of 81 head of hogs, aver aging 201 pounds was bought by one of the packers at 12 a hundredweight. The porkers were shipped by E. J. Hardison of North Yakima, one of the patrons of these yards since their open- ng, and were raised by him. lhe teed used was grain, no corn or ensilage entering into the plan of maturity The new 12-cent level spells an ar bitrarv advance in quotations for the day of 25 cents a hundredweight. Packers are less certain of their ground than at any time during the Winter season and there were a few symptoms of weakness. It is now felt, however, that if there are any hogs in the coun try these bids will bring them out. Packing requirements of 2500 hogB a day were responsible for the advance. Receipts were 17211 head. There was a strong market all around at the Portland Btockyards. Cattle and hog receipts were good, but the sheep run was light. Hogs advanced to new record price with the sale of load at 111.75 Tuesday, an advance of 30 cents over last weeks top. Cat tic also moved up, prime steers selling high as 19.20. Butcher cattle moved within the previous range of prices. Circuit Court Trial Docket. Circuit court jury cases are set for trial as follows: Feb. 19, Herman Neuner vs. H. A Barrett.

The son was raised in Pendleton but later moved to Seattle. Inland Empire grain growers held forth Friday afternoon and evening of last week in Portland and demanded of the Portland dock commission the building of a public grain elevator with an initial capacity of 1,000,000 bushels. The commission pledged its utmost efforts to induce the people at the June election to vote bonds for the measure. R. O. Earnhart of Pendleton said that Umatilla county and especially Pendleton, have come to swear by Portland. He told how years ago the Farmers' Union advocated bulk hand ling and that recently a canvass was made in his district and from 120,000 to 125,000 pledged for an elevator which had been ordered constructed. Many farmers, he said, had gone ahead with the building of bins and other fa cilities for holding grain in advance of the coming season and that the facil ities were permanent. "We already have an elevator, built of concrete, in which 1500 bushels can be cleaned each hour with a stor age capacity of 140,000 bushels, alBO a barley roller and . dry-smutter, " he said. "That is only a beginning, as Weston has 120,000 collected for an elevator and two others are planned, while some sections are holdoing back until it is known definitely whether they can be taken care of at the Port land terminal or elsewhere. He told of one grower contending with improvised facilities and would not use sacks, who shoveled his grain from wagons in the field to bins, later shoveling it back to wagons and haul ing it two and a half miles further than would have been necessary if sacked, where he was afjam called on to shovel it into the mil! hopper, yet asserted that even with the additional work he would not go baci to sacks. H. V. Davidhiser, of Joseph, said that in Wallowa county alone, from 150,000 to $00,000 had been paid out for saclts in 1910, and that for 10 years the growers had paid large sums. . X$i's' "The market of the world today ia on a bulk basis, not sacked," he said. The dedication of a new $36,000 el evator at Pendleton will be made the occasion for a big meeting of farmers for the purpose of discussing the bulk handling methods. It is planned- to " make the Pendleton meeting one of a series throughout eastern Oregon for the purpose of arousing farmers to the ecessity of abandoning the expensive sack. Appropriation Bills Passed. Appropriations totaling 1344,555, the first big appropriation bills to go through both houses of the present egislature, were passed by the senate alo Tuesday. They had previously passed the House. This total of f14, 555, all ot which for expenses and maintenance of various state departments and institu tions for the next two years, was di vided among five hills, introduced by the joint ways and means committee of the two houses. The appropriations included 1118,100 for expenses and maintenance of the offices of the Governor, Secretary of State and State Treasurer; 174,435 for the Oregon State Training School; 156,260 for the Oregon State School for the Deaf; :il,320 for the office of Attorney General and $50,440 for the upkeep of the State Capitol and Su preme Court building. 1 he only other appropriation measure that has passed both houses was the bill carried early in the session appropriating 125,000 toward the expenses of the Legisla ture. Adding this 25,O0O to the money appropriated Tuesday brings the sum total of actual appropriations to $3119.566. Patriotic Services at M. E. Church. A Lincoln program will be presented at the Methodist church next Sunday morning, the exercises being in charge of Mrs. J. O. Russell. The choir Is assisted by a number of High school students. The entire program in a pretty little booklet will.be given one to each family that attends the service. A large crowd is expected to honor the memory of America's greatest pres ident. Carrying out the Lincoln's Day program, the moving pictures for the evening will be: "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." These civil war pictures have won applause from pat riots wherever they have been shown. The subject of the sermon by the pas tor is: "Sowing and Reaping." With its revised organization the Sunday school is going forward with leaps and bounds. The surprise of last Sunday came when the boys' class under Mr. Oliver Dickenson doubled its attend ance of the previous Sunday Judges and Clerks Appointed.
