Good at Mental Arithmetic.

When a sum in arithmetic vas given
him Pompeii would listen attentively
to the figures, ponder over them for
a moment, and then the
answer by striking the ground with his
left forefoot. If the answer was the
half of something Pompeii indicated 1t
by bending his foreleg at the knee
and holding it for a moment. His
friends insist that he could tell time by
looking at a watch and announce the
hour and half hour in the same way
as he did his sums.
Playing with the children was by
no means the best part of Pompeil's
service. The records show that he and
his master have stopped nor than
hundred runaways in the last fifteen
years. In several instances lives were
saved. Policeman Keresey and Pom
peii have been almost inseperable ever
since the latter Joined the force. Again
and again the comrades werepartedfor
a short time when Keresey was trans
ferred from one precinct to another,
but each time the policeman managed
to have his fayorite sent after him,

Thought He Was a Toreador.

Especial interest was excited by
the hearing of Tom Biggs which was
held in Justice Douthit's court re-
Gently, and resulted ia the young
man being bound over to the circuit
court in the sum of 500.
1t will be remembered that Biggs,
who was working at the Neabeek
place, fifteen miles from the city, on
the 9th day of July shot bull belong
ing to Richard Brookhouse. He was
arrested and his trial set for this af
ternoon, District Attorney Moneiee
appearing for the tate and John Ga
vim for the defense. Evidence for
the prosecution w0s conclusive ana
the result was that Bggs was com
PEELED to put up $500 for his appear
ance at the next term Of the circuit
court.
A coincidence in connection with
the arrest OF Biggs was the fact that
he was a trusted farm hand of j. ii.
Harper during his farming days, over
twenty years ago, and the men had
not seen one another since until the
constable recognized in the prisoner Il
former uploye. Chronicle.

Permits to Burn SIashlngs.

John II. Hanson, deputy fire ward
en-, is.. in receipt of communication
from the state fire warden, j. X,
Welty, In substance rs follows: The
law in regard to the use of spark ar
resters on engines, etc, and the en-
Rines used In saw and shingle mills
will be strictly enforced this season.
And IL any refuse or neglect to install
spark arresters, after notification by
you, arrest and prosecution will fol.
low. Mr.. Welty further adds:
think 1t will be good idea for you
to publish notice stating that you
win be at the courthouse each Sat.
urday to issue permits to burn; and
il you are not there on that day they
can be obtained from the county aud
itoI. And in every case where you
Issue a permit to bum, you should
question the applicant as to the con
ditions surrounding the slashing, etc.
Last year there was considerable com
laint among applicants to burn slash
ings because we did not permit them
to burn at any time they saw fit. IL
we allow this the object of the law
would be defeated. The adjoining
land owners must have notice of the
time of burning. II conditions are
such that they cannot burn on the
day set new permit should be is
sued. Where u person Is clearing IA
piece of land and burning everything
he cuts as last as it Is cut, etc, you
may give such parties continuous
permit, but the holder must agree
that he will allow nothing to aocumu-
late on the ground and that he will
burn all timber and brush as fast as
II is cut. "There are however, "
says Mr.. Hanson, "many in the
county who are ignorant of the law,
or, II they know of some such law,
have no Idea or concern in its provi-
sions. Somehow they seem to think
the law is not meant to be enforced
The law is going to be carried out
and violatoIs will be brought in and
prosecuted in the superior court. ~

the disturbed condition of the sand,
showed that he had been in great
agony. The men called Marshal Sex

helped them to move the dead man to

inquest was held.
Supposing death to have been
caused by the whiskey drank, care

Oregon Greatest Lumber state.

The forests of the upper Mississippi
valley, of the Great Lakes region and
of the Southern states have furnished
lumber for generations to the treeless
praiIies of the West and the denuded
lands of the East. But the saw Is
cutting deep into the last of the tall
timber of the North and more and
more sunlight is being let in upon
the Southland. Prices for northern
white pine and southern yellow piue
have risen in the last few years 10y
leaps and bounds. The lumber dealer
of the East ha3 turned his eyes to a
new source of supply. As a result,
Portland, Oregon, in the center Of
the Great American Forest, has be
come the greatest lumber city in the
union, far out stripping Minneapolis
aud Portland is but at the threshold
of its great industry. Oregon is the
greatest lumber state in the union.
During the next generation, and so
far ms one may judge, for all time
Portalud is to hold its supremacy as
the largest sawmill city, The nation
al hunger for lumber grows year by
year, and Portland commands the
< ate to the forest. Donald MaCdon

UNDERWOOD TO HAVE
Big SAWMILL NEAR IT

The announcement was made last
week that large mill was be butt
six miles back of Underwood Wash,
and that the pl ojectors OF this ne"
enterprise are Porter Bro'., the firm
who has the contract for constructing
the North Bank road from Vancouver
TO The Dalles They have just closed
the purchase of $500 worth Of timber
In the vicinity of the spot where the
mill will be located with stipulation
in the purchase clauses that the mill
will be completed within year
Most of the timber purchased Is In
small tracts belonging to ranchers
and it Is expected that the cutting on
OF the timber will very materially
assist them in developing their
ranbces more rapidly. Parties who
have disposed of their timber to Por'
ter Bros. say that the mill will have a
capacity of 100, 900 feet per day. The
lumber will be transported from the
mill by flume to Hunsiker's Flat, a
mile and half below Underwood,
where a sidetraek has been built.
Much conjecture has been INDUCED
In by residents of the town as to the
motive for constructing the track 81
far away from Underwood, but it was
not known until today that 1t was to
be made the shipping point of new
lumber company.
Residents cf Underwood have been
anxiously hoping that the railroad
company would give them a station
or at least shipping point there, but
80 far there Is no indication that 1t
will do so. 1t is said that the high
figure asked for land at Underwood,
which Is somewhat limited, has de.
oided the railroad company to select
Hunsiker's sFlat as a shipping point
for the country back of it. So far
the policy of the new road toward re,
fractory landowners has been one OF

ALFALFA INSTEAD OF GRAIN.
Cows Has Fully Demon
strated.

For two years experiments have
been carried on In Tennessee to test
the value OF alfalfa, wheat bran, COW
peas and cotton seed oil as best for
milch cows. These experiments are
carefully conducted. and the results
are most valuable as showing that
the cost of milk can be greatly re-
duced by replacing part of the con-
centrates in the daily ration of the
cow with some roughness rich in
protein. such as alfalfa or cow pea
hay.
1t Is an advantage to feed dry
roughness which is intended to re-
place part Of the concentrates in q
ration with silage, because OF its
succulent and palatable nature.
A ton Of alfalfa or pea hay can be
produced at a cost of from SO to IS,
whereas wheat bran costs from $40
to SIS. From two to three tons of
pea hay and from three to five tons
of alfalfa can be obtained from an
acre of land; hence there is a great
advantage in the utilization of these
roughnesses In the place of wheat
bran.
The substitution Of q roughness rich
in protein for an expensive concen-
trate will enable the dairyman to
make milk and butter at less cost
and will thus solve one or his most
serious problems.
In substituting alfalfa hay for
wheat bran it will be best to allow
1h pounds of alfalfa to each
pound of wheat bran, anu the results
are likely to prove more satisfactory
II the alfalfa is fed In q finely
chopped condition.-Prairie Farmer.

The hog Is pre-eminently the most
profitable corn and grain-condensing
animal on the American farm. No
other domestic animal is capable of con-
verting SO large part of the feed it
consumes into edible meat, and no 9TH
er animal yields so large a percentage
OF dressed meat to live weight. The
hog will make from IL to Is pounds Of
pork, live weight, from a bushel Of
corn; the sheep from to s, and the
steers from to 5. The sheep will
kill SO to GO per cent. of meat, the
steer from IS to IS per cent, and the
hog from rs to IS per cent. AS an eco
nomical meat producer the hog has no
rival. Viewed as a machine for con-
verting farm feed stuffs into finished
products, the hog stands pre-eminent
He Is even called upon to supplement
and complete the process of converting
feed into pork in the feeding of nearly
all other stock on the farm. Elm
mate the hogs part in the economy Of
farm feeding operations and you will
remove the factor Of profit in many
cases.-Farmers' Homo Journal.

Save the ratings from clover hay.
Mix it in the hog swill literally, as
hogs that are penned up need rough
age to even up their otherwise unbal-
anced ration. An allowance of roots
should always be given. Cotton seed
meal Is not a good ration for pigs;
brand middlings and little oil meal
give better results. Skim milk is the
farmers best food; when fed with
grains It produces pork of good
quality. 1t is better to give the hog
considerable exercise, if firm, lean
meat 10 desired. Pigs farrowed in
September will take on flesh as fast
In winter as in summer with the
same quantity of food, provided they
have a dry, warm bed with plenty
of dry straw to lie in when cold. 1t Is
better not to allow them to lie in a
manure pile or around the straw
stack. Allow them to run out for ex-
ercise at their own will and give
them milk and middlings as a part of
their ration. Hog growers should re-
MEMBER that hogs are the farm sea-
venger. and to be a successful breed
er one must rely upon this character
istic OF the animal. To prevent dis
eases, keep them under shelter dur
ing bad weather, give plenty of good
water, handle them carefully, and
keep their pens and troughs clean, az
the health of the animal and the guam
tty OF meat he produces increases in
proportion to the cleanliness of the
food and surroundings. 1t Is better to
kill few Of the young pigs at birth
than to allow the sow to suckle too
many, as lack of milk and the effects
OF cold weather cause the weaker ones
to die.-O. Irwin, in Epitomist.
