th e d irection o f D r. C. M. H aring,
w ith a view to m ak in g th e ra isin g of
pork a profitable in dustry in th is sta te
has been s o c ia lly announced by D irec­
to r W ickson, of the statio n here.
The te s ts w ere conducted follow ing

losses through cholera, an a p p ro p ria­
tion w as m ade to conduct te s ts in se­
cu rin g g serum . The rep o rt o f resu lts
of th e ex p erim en ts w as as follow s:
“ C areful and p e rsiste n t a tte n tio n to
p rev en tiv e m easures, such as q u a ra n ­
tin e, d isin fectio n , proper
feeding,
e tc ., on th e p a rt o f the farm ers g en er­
ally would no doubt resu lt in m aterial
reduction in the y early losses from
hog cholera. The im portance o f ob­
serving these precautions cannot be
overestim ated.
“ H owever, as it is regarded as im ­
p racticab le to enforce a general and
com pletely effective q u aran tin e, the
bureau of anim al in dustry has endeav­
ored for y ears to find a m edicine or
serum w hich could be used for pre­
v en tin g hog cholera, o r fo r curing
hogs sick o f th a t disease.
“ I t is a w ell-known fa c t th a t hogs
w hich have recovered from hog chol­
e ra a re th e re a fte r im m une from the
disease. The ex p erim en t o f th e bu­
reau of anim al in dustry resulted in the
discovery th a t when such im m unes
are injected w ith th e blood from a
sick hog, ’th e im m une is no t made
sick, b u t aH a re su lt o f th is infection
its blood acquires the pow er to p ro tect
o th e r hogs from hog cholera.
I t is
now en tirely possible to p ro tect hogs
if they are tre a te d w ith serum from a
p ro p erly -treated im mune.
In the
te s ts practically 2,000 hogs, located on
47 se p a ra te farm s, w ere tre a te d . The
problem has finally been Bolved.”
Follow ing orders from the s ta te au ­
th o rities, th e new serum used as a re ­
su lt o f the ex p erim en ts is to be sold
by the board o f reg en ts o f th e u n iv er­
sity , as fa s t as it is made up, to fa rm ­
e rs in several p a rts o f th e s ta te . Ac­
cording to P rofessor W ickson, the
serum is to be sold a t cost, a tem p o r­
ary price h aving been se t a t 2} cents
a cubic c en tim eter.
O ttaw a, O nt.— Reports coming in
from all p a rts o f Canada show the in­
te n sity o f the election stru g g le now
under full headw ay, and reflect also
the position and progress o f the v ar­
ious elem ents on the m ain issue, reci­
procity betw een Canada and ,th e U ni­
ted States.
A lthough the cam paign comes w hile
h arv estin g is a t its height, conven­
tions and political m eeting are draw ­
ing audiences unparalleled fo r size.
I t is conceded th a t a g re a te r percen­
tage o f votes will be polled than ever
before in Canada.
R eciprocity has continued th e dom­
inant issue since P rem ier L a u rie r and
O pposition L eader Borden m ade th e ir
in itia l addresses.
Since then Mr.
Borden has rem ained in O ntario,
speaking daily, w hile ‘ P re m ie r L aur­
ier, a fte r one O ntario m eeting, has
sw ung over the French-C anadian prov­
ince of Quebec, w here he has been ad­
dressing from one to tw o m eetings
each day, including Sunday.
M eantim e th e prem iers o f various
provinces and o th er leaders have been
arraig n in g them selves on the firing
line. P rem ier W hitney, of O ntario,
P rem ier McBride, of B ritish Columbia,
and P rem ier H azen, o f N ew B runs­
wick, have taken th e stum p in opposi­
tion to reciprocity, and to th e re tu rn
of the L a u rie r candidates.
Clifford
S ifton, form ery a m em ber o f the
L au rie r m in istry , is holding m eetings
in O ntario, a t which he denounced the
reciprocity agreem ent.
The grounds tak en fo r and a g a in st
reciprocity are shown in the rep o rts
com ing from all sections. The fight
a g a in st reciprocity is m ade on both
economic and sentim ental grounds.
The opposition speakers declare th a t
ag ricu ltu re in the U nited S ta te s is so
much b e tte r developd than it is in
C anada th a t the C anadian farm er will
be sw am ped by th e arriv a l of food

FIVE KILLED BY COLLAPSE
OF UMPQUA VALLEY BRIDGE
R oseburg, O r.— Five men w ere a l­
m ost in stan tly killed and five others
w ere injured, fo u r o f them seriously,
when th e big wooden bridge spanning
the U m pqua riv e r in Coles valley, 18
m iles n o rth w est of R oseburg, col­
lapsed and fell into th e w ater, a dis­
tance o f about 60 feet. All the killed
and injured w ere m em bers o f the
Douglas C ounty bridge gang, and had
been a t w ork re p airin g the ill-fated
stru c tu re for
about th ree weeks.
W ith the south end of th e bridge in­
ta c t, the crew began rem oving the
false w ork to th e opposite end of the
stru c tu re to replace some defective
eyebeam s.
They had only p artly com pleted the
task when the whole span suddenly
quivered and an in sta n t la te r crashed
to th e w ater below. The e n tire crew
w as rem oving the floor planking when
th e collapse came, and none w ere able
to escape.
The in ju red w ere cared
fo r by
neighboring farm ers and doctors w ere
rushed from R oseburg and O akland in
autom obiles to the scene of the d isas­
ter, w here ev ery th in g possible was
done for the injured men.
The five
bodies of those killed w ere also recov­
ered by farm ers and tak en to Rose­
burg for interm ent.
The bridge consisted o f a single
span 332 fe e t long, and w as b u ilt in
1891, a t a cost o f $22,000.
A steel
bridge will probably be b u ilt in its
place.

confronted w ith the problem of m eet­

as a resu lt of the w ar betw een Mrs.
E lla W ilson, m ayor, and th e city
council, who objected to a woman ex­
ecutive.
The c ity council failed to fix th e an­
nual tax levy, and th e tim e lim it
w ithin w hich the levy may be made
has expired.
M ayor W ilson is considering the ad­
v isab ility o f b ringing o u ster suits
a g a in s t m em bers of the council on the
grounds o f negligence.
The woman m ayor is castin g about
for some m ethod of securing money to
pay tow n expenses. She urged th a t a
poll tax be collected, but th is required
an ordinance by the council, and the
council refuses to pass such an ord­
inance.

C orvallis— In v estig atio n s m ade d u r­
ing the p ast y e a r by H. V. T a rta r,
chem ist of th e O regon E xperim ent S ta ­
tion, show th a t Pacific C oast hops are
not surpassed in q u ality by hops from
any o th er p a rt o f th e world. The re ­
su lts indicate th a t preference fo r fo r­
eign hops and New Y ork hops are
largely prejudice and cannot be backed
up w ith facts. The p resen t “ rub and
nose” m ethod o f ju d g in g hops has
been found to be sadly in erro r, and
un reliab le fo r d eterm in in g accurately
the real value of hops for com m ercial
use. W hen th e old prejudices and
fa u lty m ethods of ju d g in g a re laid
aside. Pacific C oast hops will rank
d ifferently and much h ig h er in the
m a rk e ts o f th e world.
P rofessor T a rta r believes th a t one
o f th e best things th a t can be done fo r
th e hop industry in th is s ta te is to em ­
ploy stan d ard s for judging the product
upon a scientific basis.
The Oregon
hops a re very rich in lupulin and b it­
te r principles, and th is should be rec­
ognized and its value considered in
th e m a rk e t price paid.
A m ovem ent fo r th e adoption o f
new standards fo r the v aluation of
hops already has been sta rte d in th is

it the hops w ill be judged fo r the first

The
tru th reg ard in g real value o f hops

ascertained.
“ The O regon hopgrow ers should by
all m eans p a rtic ip a te in th is ex h ib it,
and thu3 aid in show ing th e superior
q u ality of Pacific C oast ho p s,” said
