Strain, and exclu- sive of the public utilities it shows a total assessment of $40,367,334, where as last year the amount was $37,924,138. The wheat as- sessment this year is lighter than a year ago. This was owing to the fact that there was practically no wheat in the hands of the farmers on March 1. The public utility corporations last year were assessed at $10,866,693 in this county. If the assess- ment this year should be the same the total assessment of the county will be slight- ly over $51 millions • Z. Pupphrey, a ranch- er three miles southwest of Hermiston, is the owner of a Duroc Jersey sow that he is proud of, for she has turned out to be a money maker for him, as the following will show: On October 5, 1916, the aforesaid sow gave birth to nine pigs, in May 1917, she had another lit- ter of 11 and on October 4, 1917, she gave birth to 12 more, making a total of 32 in one year. Of this number only two were lost. When the fi rst litter were fi ve months old Mr. Pumphrey sold them for $112.50, and at one month old 10 of the second litter brought $50. With the present prices for pork, the owner expects to clean up a goodly sum on the third litter when he gets ready to dispose of them. • Occasionally a copy of The Herald fails to reach an outside subscriber, either through fault of this or the post offi ce department, and whenever it does invariably we receive letters advis- ing us to send the missing number. The same is true of those who desire a change of address, as the follow- ing will show: Herald Edi- tor: You will fi nd enclosed check and please send me The Herald for one year to the above address. You have been sending my pa- per to Irrigon, Ore. I do not know just when my sub- scription runs out, but send me the Sept. 29 number as it did nor reach me here, and I do not want to miss it. — Mrs. D.E. Martin, Pow- ell, Wyoming.
