Tacoma. Sept. 2i.--Not often does a
more pitiful case come to the atten-
tion Of officers than that Of Emma
Swanson. aged 10 years who gave
birth to baby In tent, all alone, at
the Puyallup hophelds. She told her
troubles to no one. and though her con-

Dor happened to hear the Infants cries,
and notified the county authorities, who
promptly moved mother and child to a
nearby house. wheer they could receive
proper treatment. when found, she
was lying on a bare pallet Of straw,
with scarcely any covering.
Her story is sad one. Her mother
died when she was years old. Since
that time she has made her own liv-

LOOKING FOR HARD GAME.
MuItnomah Football Team Preparing
for Commercial Eleven.

Portland Journal: That the Multi
nonah football team does not intend
taking chances with the strong Asto-
ria eleven on the Sth OF next month
was evidenced last evening by the long
and vigorous practice held at the b.
s. A. gymnasium. In which 35 play
ers and three coaches participated The
new signals that were announced on
Monday evening were changed last
night, the new code being simpler to
comprehend, yet harder for opposing
teams to figure out. Chester Murphy
was in charge of the team play and
the famous Stanford quarterback put
the candidates through a most inter-
esting evenings engagement, every
play in the category being tried.
DIR. Slocum, former halfback on
Multnomah, was out last night and
showed spurts of his earlier speed and
cleverness. Tom Healey, a halfback on
the Anaconda eleven, was in the fray
last night, and showed the boys how
halfbacks play in Montana.

ters.
The front Of the dashboard of the car

human bodies.
SO great was the force Of the explo-
sion that two men who were standing
in the door of a store so feet away were
severely injured by flying pieces, while
every window within a radius Of q
quarter Of a mile was broken.
The police announce the cause of the
wreck to have been the striking Of a
5O-pound box Of dynamite that had
fallen from an express wagon just
ahead of the car. The driver discov-
cred that the box had dropped off and
rushed back to take II off the track
Before he got within 100 yards. the

GOOD TONES FOR HOGS.
The Kind Of Mixture That should ne
Accessible to Them ALI the
Year Around.

1t is necessary to keep constantly &C.
cessible to all hogs, both pigs and old
hogs. some material that supplies lime
and salt to aid in bone building as an
appetizer, and to remove Intestinal par
asites. This mixture should be kept
in strong box protected from rain,
and quantity and frequency with which
pigs will visit and eat of the mixture
will often be surprising. The follow
ing is the mixture that we use:
Charcoal, one and one-half bushels.
Common salt, four pounds.
Hard wood ashes, ten pounds.
Stacked lime. four pounds.
Another thing which is good for tho
pig is variety of feeds Pigs do bet
ter on variety than on any single
feed. This fact is scarcely ever dis
puted by the farmer, but is often
enough ignored to give it some empha-
sis. Just how much better the pig will
do if fed a variety. We will let the pig
himself testify; for whatever other
mean thing pig will do he will not

not SO much a.: dreamed of befors. the
eventful year Of 1900. Frequently the
city had previous to that year been un-
der water, but her people had simply
waited for the waves to roll by, and then
went on doing: more and more business,
as the great southwest developed her
inexhaustible resources. But when the
15-foot tidal wave swept in upon the
city the inhabitants awoke to a sense of
the danger which confronted them, and
the prophecy made over 70 years ago
came true.
Stephen Il. Austin, the Virginia pic.

into Texas. rode across the coast plain

and saw far inland stranded schooner.

as those. that rolled on Galveston in
| 1900. If that thriving commercial city
resting SO dangerously near to the level
of the waters of the bay could only have
realized the full meaning of Austin's
prophecy, perhaps years ago, the build
/ ing of the sea wall and the raising of the
grade of the city would have been I'M
dertaken. If it had been seen what would
have been saved? Six thousand precious
lives, and property valued at $1,000 coo,
enough treasure to cover the cost of the
present improvements five times over.
But it is true always and everywhere
that individuals and cities ana nations
provide adequately against catactrophes
only after browning disaster has fall
len. Then treasure boxes are opened and
energies set in motion which bring
about some such Transforming scene
as that which is being enacted at Gal

channel in theinner harbor was $500, 600;
for repairing the jetties $750,OOO. In
the fall of 1901 board of engineers was
appointed to study the problem and re-
pert on the best method for protecting
the city. This board reported in April,
1902, and work was soon after begun Oh
the sea wall. This wall is built Of con-
crete and is to protect the east and south
sides of the city, with levee to pro-
tect the city on the west. The work on
the sea wall and levee has progressed
far enough to permit the beginning of
the work of rising the grade of the city.
The sea wall is 31h miles long with its
top II feet above mean low water. This
wall is founded on piles and protected
from undermining by sheet piling and
riprap. The sea face of the wall is
curved SO that its upper portion is YER
ttcle and its rear face is to be filled be-
hind by an embankment, the top of
which will be paved with brick for
width of IS feet and planted with Ber-
muda grass for further distance of go
feet. The levee portion of the protec-
tive barriers of the city is to be 300 feet
wide with side SLOPES of one feet in Is
feet, and is intended to be built upon. In
brief, the city will be surrounded on
three sides by structure whose top is
higher than the high water in 1900. The
fourth or unprotected side is that facing
Galveston bay, and here the city is high
err than the highest water ever recorded
previous to 1900. The diagram produced
herewith shows transverse section Of
the sea wall and is self-eXplanatory.
The total cost of the work undertaken
will be $3,505,040, of which sum q 1884,
755 was for sea wall. Special masainery
was made for the, building of the sea
wall, and by the end of last year the
work was being actively prosecuted. Dur
ing this year this work has been prac-
tically completed. Galveston now lies
behind a massive stone wall, but gradu-
ally as the skill of engineers is exerted.

BABY BEEF PRODUCTION.
Gain Largely Depends on Age of the
Animal and the Way In which
1t Is Fed.

Feeders of baby beef, who keep their
animals up to their work, are known
to make gain of over two pounds
daily for II months. This gain depends
upon the age of the animal and the
manner in which it is fed. A matter
that should not be overlooked by the
farmer is the appropriate food for each
animal; he should aim to increase the
weight by making the animal as fat as
possible. as fat is more easily produced
on an animal than either lean meat or
bone. 1t has been shown that to in-a
crease the excess of either fat or lean
on an animal depends upon the age.
The natural inclination of a yearling
animal is growth, and the system de-
mands materials containing but
small portion of fat producing quail
ties. but as growth adds to weight, the
more rapid the growth the greater the
increase in weight, which, of course.
accounts for the quick gains made by
young animals as compared with those
approaching maturity, and which fact
gives rise to the claim that baby beef
is the cheaper form of theS two. To
know the breeds and how toause them:
to be aware of the fact that some
breeds assimilate more food and give
off less waste than others, and to learn
how to convert food into a salable
product quickly and economically is
what each one must study out for him.
self. Have pair Of scales, weigh FIRE.
quently and note the ratio of increase
in weight. BY so doing one can cover
the causes of failure and correct mis-
takes. The time is coming when the
farmer will not be satisfied with less
than pound day from birth for his
farrows and wethers up to one year old.
In approaching maturity gains are not
so great, but previous to that animals
for the block should be pushed. FL
nally breeds that gain weight in the
high-priced portions of the carcass
must be given preference, and feeders
must know that they are breeding for
definite results. Baby beef must have
the fat in the right place-Agricultura
Epitomist.
