hogs in the state. The producer Is urged
TO grade his hogs and to have them ready
for market as young as possible. In order
to obtain the best prices hogs should weigh
from 200 to 2i0 pounds and should not
under any circumstances weigh over 500
pounds. 1t is claimed that the sending of
young hogs to market will have tendency
TO reduce the stock Of lard and make it more
valuable to the producer. Hogs marketed
at these weights will mean younger hogs
and that will undoubtedly, it is claimed,
tend to reduce the losses sustained by pro-
duCors owing TO. the raVages Of hog Cholera.

number of cases of contagious or in
fectious diseases have occurred lately in res
idence fats and the cause has been traced di-
rectly to defective plumbing. The atten-
tion of Mayor Ensor has been called to these
cases and he is seriously considering the ad-
visibility of appointing a plumbing inspector
whose duty it shall be to inspect all rev
plumbing being put in and to also inspect
tho plumbing in residence blocks and busi-
ness buildings. 1t is not the intention OF the
mayor to create a new Office, as he is OF the
opinion that either the sanitary inspector
or city engineer can do this work in add
tion to other duties. Some action may be
taken in this matter within day or two.

LOST WITH IA BOURGOGNE.
Louis Pourteau, ClRrinetist of tho Boston
Symphony Orchestra, a Victim.


One OF those lost with the steamer La Bour-
gogne was Louis Pourteau. the clarinetist Of
the Boston Symphony Orchestra. who with his
wife. formerly Miss Nina Wetzler. was on his
way back to France. He had not renewed his
contract with the orchestra. but it was not
generally known that no intended TO give up
his profession as a musician. Before he came
10 this country. and, indeed. before he made his
reputation as a musician. he was a painter. 1t
was only because he succeeded better as a
clarinetist than az a painter that he had de-
voted himself to music. His heart. however.
was always in his painting IN spite OF the sue
cess that he won In his newer profession. He
made enough money In this country to enable
him to take up again the art that he loved best.
