FARMERS HOLD MUCH WHEAT
Estimated That But 30 Per Cent Of
UmatiIIa Crop Sold.

Only about thirty per cent of this
years wheat crop of Umatilla county
has been sold to date, is the opinion
of John Bahr, one of the extensive
farmers of this section, says the Pen

Going further into this question Mr..
Bahr stated that the major portion of
the wheat disposed of has been sold
by the farmers near Pendleton. Adams
and Athena. In those sections remote
from the points named practically
none has yet been sold. This is ac-
counted for from the fact that these
farmers were late in their work were
later in harvesting and, when the
grain had been garnered, themarket

Case Of Hydrophobia.

SdSS VI ID VI S"SSs"'
Aiken, April II On a crowded
trolley Car, between Augusta and
Aiken, tonight panic was caused
by the discovery that one of the pas
sengers was suffering with hydro
phobia. The man, James Howard,
is said to be from New York and is
unknown in this section.
The car coming from Augusta
was crowded with women and chill
dren, who were greatly excited by
The discovery, and the struggle which
ensued when it was attempted to
put off the passenger.
Howard was with friend, named
Hayee, also from New York. They
had been standing on the rear plat
form of the car talking, but Howard
went inside and when the car reach
ed Warrenville the conductor noticed
that the passenger was in peculiar
condition. he. tried to arouse him
but could not and notified the other
passenger with home he had been
seen talking. When several passen-
gers went with the conductor to
again try to arouse the apparently
unconscious man, he sprang suddt My

floor, foaming at the mouth and try.

tered chloroform and he was then
taken into q small boat house.
He has recovered from the effects
of the chloroform administered yes
terday and today he was alternately
unconscious and conscious. He is
still! tied and is constantly watched.
He has drank water and milk today
and this morning he was able to take
some soup. He has a few dollars
and is accompanied by three friends.
The fact that Howard has partaken
of nourishment today has caused
some to doubt that he is affiicted
with hydrophobia. But two physi.
clans who have examined him say
that he has all the symptoms of
rabies. The county authorities are
caring for him, although very little
is being done, as people are afraid to
approach or touch him.
Howard's friend, James Hayes,
states that Howard was bitten by 8
dog at Midwife, Ga, ten days ago,
and that the dog was then killed.
Howard went to the hospital in Au-
gusta for treatment, having a bad
wound on his leg. If it was suspect
ed that the dog was mad it was not
made known and it seems that there
was no suspicion that Howard was
likely to have hydropbobia. He was
on his way to Aiken tonight, and
from here expected to go to Char
lesion. He and Hayes are railway
linemen and have been at that work
in Georgia.

We reprint it for the purpose OF
calling especial attention to it and to
ask our contemporary, the Greepville
News, to give Us some further facts
as to this phase of the question. 1t
is new one to us-one that we
never thought Of in connection with
the dispensary agitation. As the
first complaint, so to speak, on this
line comes from Green7ille it would
be OF interest, as we'll as of value, if
The News would look into this sub
iect and give Us some facts as to the
extent of this condition and its effects.
We would like for our contempora-
ries in all the prohibition counties to
tc make an Investigation and report
the facts. We ask this not 80 much
from desire ''to make a point" in
favor of the dispensary, should the
Investigation develop facts in that
direction, but because the statement
of the Greenville man, if it describes
a usual condition in prohibition count
les, brings out one phase of the liquor
question which is entirely new to US
and one that We have never seen re-
ferred to before.
While We have no desire to enter
upon an argument on the question, if
it is shown: with reasonable certainty
that blind tiger liquor has a greater
evil feet upon negroes than dispen.
sary whiskey (Which We believe is a
fsct,) and since prohibition means
blind tigerism, an admission made
even by Senator Brice, the very prac-
tical question will arise whether it
will not be better, for the efficiency
OF our farm labor, to hold to the dis
pensary rather than to have an in
discriminate sale of the Vilest and
deadliest stuff
If we were in position in Colum-
bia to make an Investigation of the
matter mentioned, we would be glad
of the opportunity, whether it pro-
duced results in our favor or not.
We hope contemporaries in prohibi-
tion counties will look up the facts
and report.-Columbia Daily Record,

and vegetables and eggs that had been
thus kept for many summers. The
class have begun upon their chicken
diet, and for each three months there
will be one day when the menu will
be only chicken, of the cold storage
variety. the trial period extending over
two years. DR.. Wiley says that indi-
cations point to a limit of about a
year for meats and probably a shorter
period for fowls and game to remain
in fair condition for food. Among
other things, the cold storage egg is
going to come in for examination.
The work on fruit storage is about

the fruits can be kept in storage from
