CANNING HORSES.
Purchasers In Oregon Said to BE uuyinr
Them Cheap For Fall Use.

AdviccS from eastern Oregon are to
the effect that several thousand horses
had been sold to Portland parties to be-
slaughtered and the meat to be canned
and offered Tor sale, but who the parties
arc cannot be aScertained. Members of
all butchcring firms III Portland were
asked about the matter, but all denied
having any knowledge of the sale of the
horses or the purpose Of the parties to
slaughter them for profit
1t IS not probable that the slaughter
OF horses will be undertaken on any ex-
tended scale until fall, when they will
be III good condition. Parties aye buy
ing them at present because they may
be obtained for 4 very small price.
On the range now they are being sold
at 1 and 81 per head in order to mako
room for cattle.
Mr.. Soaton, large cattleman of
Crook county. confirmed the story of the
sale of horses TO be killed and packed.
Soaton himself sold 5000 horses at So
head and understood when the deal
was made what use was TO be made of
the horses. He refuses to divulgo tie
names of tho purchasers aud Will only
say that one Of them is an eastern man.
The parties, lie says, are looking for
more horses and intend fattening them
OH the range until late in the year, when
they will be slaughtered Now Yorl.

FISH IN THE STREETS.

Recent Floods.

Hartford Citizens Had Fun During the
Recent Floods.
In the phenomenal 1rcshct that visited
Hartford Just recently, with a yellow
food roaring and curling about some of
the principal streets of the town, many
citizens enjoyed the rare and novel sport
OF taking fish in their kitchen gardens,
in city lots and sometimes in tho public
highways. The handsomest catch prob
ably was taken by W. T. Smith of
WethersGold avenue. who baggcd a
splendid seven pound river pike in his
back yard near n limo Of currant bushes.
Although the place is mile and a
half from tho river ordinarily, still
there was water enough there even for
a craft Of the pike S draft, since it was
two feet deep.
Unqucstionably it was tho severest
freshet since the extraordinary one Of
1893 Hundreds OF dwellings were half
filed with dirty water, aud for more
than week 1t was impossible to reach
them except by swimming or in boats.
1t was certainly decidedly novel to see a
feet of small boats plying through pop
ulous avenues, fcrTying people hither
and thither, as If with gondolas, to and
from their homes
And in what n terribly filthy condi-
tion the houses arc left by the receding
waters With a cellar and every room
Of the first story Of dwellings saturated
with river mud the premises cannot be
cleaned except with great toll and ex-
pense, while the probability is that these
dronched rooms Will retain an unwhole-
some danpness far into the latter part
OF the summer. tits likely there will bo
many deaths directly on account OF tho
after effects of the inundation. New
