THE WHOLE HOG.
Hog That Weighs Over Half Ton
Here This Morning.


For few moments there was a
regular stampede down to the freight
yard where, on a sidetrack, was a car
load Of as fne stock as ever passed
through Pendleton. Among the ship
ment were some splendid Shorthorn
cattle, and the famous hog which was
fattened by Kiddle Bros, Of La
Grande. Never has such a hog been
seen here before. His weight is over
1900 pounds; no, this is no misprint,
1900 pounds Is what he weighs. He is
several hundred pounds heavier than
the champion heavyweight hog OK
hibited at st. Louis. He is so heavy
that his feet are not high enough to
keep his body from the ground, but he
says down and touches the ground when
he walks. His eyes are almost hidden
by immense rolls Of fat. He looks in
size more like prize 3-year-old Short
horn with his legs sawed of, than h'
does hog. He will prove an eye
opener to the visitors from the East
who think a hog cannot be fattened
except on corn-East Oregonian.

American Women viii Not
Hide Lovely Forms
With Short Waists

Chicago, Sept. 19.-American dress.
makers will defy the dictum from
Paris that short waists will prevail.
This was brought out yesterday at the
opening session Of the National Dress.
makers Convention. Nine. Baker,
president Of the convention, and auto
crat, issued the edict defying the Par.
isian diapers, who assume to tell
American women what they shall and
shall not wear She said:
"Skirts will be comparatively short.
In Paris the women are wearing trail
ing garments that gather up the dust
Of the boulevards. But the skirts of
tho American women will be trim and
distinctly American. We are going
to defy the dictates Of Paris in this
and other points Of dress.
"Paris has introduced the short
wasted gown again. It spoils the fig.
ure, and the American women have
spent too many years developing their
forms TO make the effort go for moth
ing. The loose wrapper alone will be
short.waisted.
"Elbow sleeves will continue into
the winter on dresses and coats. The
lower part Of tho arm will be protect
ed by the gloves The new coats viii
be topped with straight standrup col
lars and shorter shoulder effects anC
high girdles. All dresses will fit tigh
at the hips and full at the feet Th'
short Empire coat will be one Of th'
fads Of the season."
Nine. Baker will begin her lecture
on dress tomorrow, giving three a day
At night stereopticon views will b
