The Pacific States Packing Company
Sheds at Portland, Undermined by
Freshts, Collapse and Fall
into the River.

PORTLAND, Nov. 12,-The stock
sheds of the Pacific States Packing
Company on Macadam road tumbied
into the Willamette at noon today,
CARRYING more than 1000 cattle, sheep
and hogs into the swirling water. Sew
eral tons of hay in the second story
Of the sheds was also precipitated into
the stream. About one-third Of the
stock carried into the water by the
collapse of the sheds were killed or
drowned, For an hour or more af-
fer the accident the river was niieo
with half drowned, struggling animals
All the packing plant employees ano
MANY residents of the vicinity hneo
the banks and manned skiffs and were
kent busy roping the swimming AMI
mails and dragging them to places oi
safety on the shore.
The accident is attributed to the
recent heavy rains. The sheds were
constructed on piling over the eoge
of the river, with a frontage of apou'
100 feet over the water. On thes'
pilings were built the cattle corrai
hog-pen and sheep-pen and all th'
animals awaiting slaughter were KEEP
there for feeding and preparation fol
the packing plant. The sheds proper
were two stories in height, the secon'
story being used for storing nay ah'
feed for the animals.
1t is supposed that the heavy RAM
undermined. the foundation OF tn
sheds causing the earth on the steel
bank of the river at this point to slid'
into the river.

Alice Sewell, Of Swainsbord, Ohio has

leaving all his property TO the widow.
Mr.. Sewell was buried. The widow at

Riverside, May 10. To make the
prickly pear of commercial value, and
fit to feed stock, is the mission of David
Griffith, one Of the experts of the
United States Agricultural Department.
He thinks that with proper development
this plant can be made factor in the
cattle business of this section.
This expert is examining site in this
city AS possible location, although his
instructions include other tracts in this
State. The government now has ex-
pertinent stations 20 develop this plant
at San Antonio, Tex, Las Cruces, N.
NJ, and Tucson, Ariz.
1t is not the aim of the government
experts to breed a spineless plant, as
all such lose their hardy character with
out gaining much in nutrition.
Griffith says it is easy to burn the
spines off, and then feed the plants to
cattle.

Millennium Dawn.

We told our readers two weeks ago
how one could hypnotizo a hen and
make her look crosseyed for three or
four days. A Chicago college professor
who used to play that trick on his
mothers biddles in his boyhood years,
has continued his experiments until now
he can feed his hens pepper and salt,
and cause them to lay eggs all seasoned
for cooking. He has gone further he
feeds his hens comminuted ham, and now
they lay a nicely seasoned combination
that can't be distinguished from ordi
nary ham and eggs.
His efforts along this line have been
so successful, he is now constructing a
glass next that will so concentrate the
light IN the hen that she will lay her
eggs cooked. Cooked and seasoned
ham-eggs, direct from the hen, a hal
hour before each meal three a day,

at no distant day.
