HORSE IS LOST IN ROHYISSAVED A valuablo horso was lost and Wil liam Walters, 10, had a very narrow escape from drowning when ho at tempted to ford Roguo river a short distance below Gold Roy Sunday af ternoon. The borte stepped into a liolo and, caught by tho current, was tiwcpt away, while young Walters succeeded In awlramlng out. Wal ters, when the horse first fell, grabbed the animal by the neck and it is believed that this the reason the animal failed to regain Its feet.

The animal, drlton by Chub Hamlin, turned a sharp corner onto Main street at Central avenue and pitched tta driver to tho, street. It then ran west to the It theatre, where It was stopped nnd where a frightened oc cupant of the carriage, a frlud of Mr. Hamlin's, alighted. All through (he race this man had desperately clutched a hickory cano which he dropped when the horso stopped. He explained that ho had a sprained ankle and that ho figured he was tak tag leas chances by staying by the runabout than he would If he had Jumped. One of those who had stopped the horse entered the runabout to drive the outfit to a livery stable, when It again broke loose and dashed head-on for Uuscey's window. Hero it was quieted by a couple of livery hands only after they had been swung In the air and badly shaken. Tho run away then started, for no sooner was the horse apparently quiet than it broke for the big Weeks & McGowan window. Ira Dodge's passing auto mobile was In the line of travel, but by running his machine up on the sidewalk Ira was able to escape. Tho horse was stopped with Ha nose against the glass. Mr. Hamlin's arrival ended tho fes tivities as he was able to drlvo the horse down Main street without a great deal of trouble, although the speed he registered broke all city ordinances. Had the horse staged Its performance on a crowded street the element of humor present might have been lacking. HOGS NEARING $9 PORTLAND, Ore.. March 10. Re ceipts for the week have been; Cattlo 1304; calves 9; hogs' 2544; sheep 3348; horMs 20. Cattlo liquidation has been com paratively liberal this week but steers were the only class which showed steadiness. Nearly all steer offer ings graded a shade short of prime, selling 17.75 down to 17.25, with one small lot at $8. Tops are consider ed steady at $7.70 to $7.75. Butcher stock baa been slow duo to lack of quality but demand is not very broad for the best- Although an urgent call for prime calvea rules, receipts have been Insignificant. A good bull trade at steady prices shared butcher division activity with cows. Gen erally the cattle market is steady with downward tendency. The bog market Is rapidly advanc ing to tho $9.00 level of two years ago. Thursday's run contained sev eral loada of prime light swlno and they all brought $8,75 blda from anx ious buyers. Week's total gain has boen approximately 50 cents. Re ceipts have been light and demand firm. Portland is again tho highest bog market in tho country. The Bhcep house furnished several surprises this week. Mutton and lamb markets have been shaky for the last fortdlght and tho sudden ac tivity this wcok upfct all calculations. Killers, showed they could, be induced to bid for prime yearllugs, ewes and lambs. They at least gave top prices for beveral cars, $0.25 to $0.35 for yearlings, $5.23 for owes, $7.00 and $7.25 for lambs. Packers were evi dently caught shorthanded and as tho annual spring run of sheared stock Is slow coming they grasped the oppor tunity io get a temporary surplus. The result being a Keller's market, which weakened toward the close. Market basis Is unsteady. FARMERS IN NEED OF With a deficiency of 9.58 Inches of rain since September 1, aud with no Immediate prospect of rain, the ranchers of the valley are beginning to worry uomowhat regarding the outcomo of the season.

Tho Clark fc Hcnery Construction company state! some time ago that they would have a plant In operation here by April 1 In order to complete contracts in the city and to pave tho street over tho urldge.

He will talk fight If you really want to but his heart Is on the trail. Ho fairly glows when you talk hunting. He buying a ranch up In the north coun try and expects to b a farmer whon ho Is through with the ring. "UnleM I should happen to be bad ly beaten up. I figure that I ought to be good for 10 year yet," he said. "I have a better chance of tasting than some of these boya who begin fighting at 17 or IS and burn up their vitality. I did not go Into the ring until J was past SO. "I was a big, strong farm boy. I had done rough work, helped to milk 43 cows, worked In the fields, pitched hay and driven horsea. I had the vi tality to stand the hard work of train Ing." "Pitching hay Is the best possible developer for tho muscles," ho said. "I have never had any trouble with my hands and I haVe always thought this was duo to )b6 milking I did on the farm. MllklniJ'niakes big. heavy muscles on your hands." "I would rather do farm work than anything else." ho said. "Bvery morning I get up at 6 o'clock and help the Mexicans over' at tho gravel pit near Doyle's.

I had heard so much about them I guess I bad ray expectations too high. I was disappointed. I thought a. big professional fight would be faster. It looked just like tho llttlo fights wo had In the north. "I am training nard." said Ander- son, "and am doing everything in my power to make myself fit to meet Drown. I do not know whether I can fight as well as ho can, the fact is, I never get a chance to get started, the fight always stops before I get Into action." There has been much talk about Anderson being puzzled by Kayo's way of holding his right band out In stead of his left. When asked about It Dud said: "Watch mo throw these atones," ho plied Dud. "I'll throw ono with the right hand and ono with tho left. Hco If you can tell whether I am naturally leftbanded or rlghthandod' It waa an extraordinary perform ance. "I do not caro which hand Drown holds out," ho said: The receipts of tho American Fed eration of Labor have grown from $174 In 1881 to $207,373 last year. Words from Home Statement That May Ho Invest!- Kntcd Tcfctlinony of Medford Citizens. When a Medford citizen comes to the front, telling bis friends and neighbors of his experience, you can rely on his sincerity. Tho statements of pcoplo residing in far away places do not command your confldonce. Home endorsement is tho kind that backs Doan's Kidney Pills. Such tes timony Is convincing. Investigation provea It true. Uulow ia a statement of a Medford citizen, No stronger proof of merit can he bad, W. P. Gould, 110 W. Jackson 8t Medford, Ore., say: "I used Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at HaBklus' Drug Store, and am pleased to say thm they liavo given me more relief than any other kidney medlcluo I have ever taken.
