Portland in the role of the Pacifi
coasts packing center is arousing tn
interest of livestock breeders through
out the states Of Oregon, Washington
and Idaho, says the Oregon Sunda.
Journal. The demands that will b.
made by these great packing house
will tax the ability of the livestocl
men to furnish the animals on tn
hoof to keep these plants running
Even one big packing plant at tn,
present time could not run to ca
pacity with the present supply o
hogs, cattle and sheep.
Statistics gathered by the packers
show that only 10 per cent of the hog,
consumed in Oregon and Washing
ton are produced in these two states
In other words, IS per cent of the
hogs killed in oregon are shipped in
from the states to the eastward. This
condition Of affairs must change il
the Pacific northwest is to support
great packing plants. 1t is up to the
farmers of Oregon, Washington and
Idaho.
c. C. Colt, purchasing agent of
Swift & Co., discussing the situation
that will confront the great plant that
is being built in Portland by his COM
pany. said:
"In 1901 there was held at the
union stockyards. Chicago. the first
great international livestock show,
under the auspices of the Internatlon-
al Livestock association, and it is a
matter Of history that during that
show a single steer, the grand prize
animal which had taken all the pre-
miums, sold at auction for $3.50 a
pound. He was a Black Polled An
gus, and his name was Advance. 1t
paid to raise him, as he netted his
owner something over s2100. They
used to sell steers on the range for
IS 10 SO a head.
"The International show is now a
permanent organization, and is meet
tng with greater success and favor
each year. Entries of all classes of
livestock last year were 1926 single
entries not including 1874 cars of
cattle. 29 cars Of sheep and cars
of hogs. and the total value Of the
prizes given away was approximate
ly $4,000.
Portland has made its beginning
and is TO be congratulated on the
formation Of a country club and live
stock association. which has for its
prime object the advancement Of the
livestock industry. The local commu-
nifty and the state should heed the
lessons already taught to our neigh
bors beyond the Rockies and get into
line and advance, push, develop the
source Of their greatest wealth. The
coming to Portland Of the modern
packing house and stockyards is sure
to pave the way to still greater posi-
bilities.

In one OF the boldest and most
cleverely executed robberies. ever
pulled off In this city, a lone holdup,
using ammonia as his weapon, last
night blinded Miss Emma Olsen,
cashier at the Star theater, and Miss
Eta Sullivan, a friend Of the former,
with the drug. and entering through
an opening he had cut in the wall OF
the box office, seized a bag contain
ing the days receipts. and made his
escape, says a Tacoma dispatch.
Miss Olsen was about to leave with
her friend and had placed the bag of
money on a chair in the box office.
Unconscious that a robber had pre-
viously cut a hole three feet long and
1S inches wide in the wainscoting at
the back of the office, and was tim
ing her movements, the young wo-
man was about to pick up the bag
when the robber squirted the am
monia into her face and repeated the
dose when Miss Sullivan answered
Miss Olsen's cry.
In their helpless condition, the wo-
men were unable to prevent the rob-
berry. With a bound, the robber
came through the opening in the wall
and made his escape the same way.
He had entered through door at the
rear Of the theater, walked under the
theater floor to the front Of the
building and waited for the psycholo-
gicai moment to make the strike. He
secured about $400.

Many Men Are Drifters.

There is work for every, man in

the trouble is that most OF these fell

men. They are travelling from Sc

but themselves.

Rancher Gives His Views.
Bruce Wees, who came TO North
Yakima from below the gap this
morning, said he guessed workmen
were plentiful enough but admitted
that he was on his way to an agency
to find a man. "They pass along the
road and can be caught and put to
work" said Mr.. Wees, "but the trou-
BILE is that I am not on the road and
do not see them. Therefore L am
getting a man here"
"These ranch hands are watching
each other closely" said anther
rancher. "If they think / am paying
more than Condor they want to quit
him right away and If they think he
is paying more than l am they want
to quit me. They are very sharp on
these things. AS a matter Of fact.
however, the wages are the same all
over the valley. From what 1 hear
the ranchers will be better off than
they were last year There are to
be more workmen in this country than
last year. have had several appli-
cations recently from young men just
out from Iowa or Wisconsin who say
they want ranch work and are look

The Editors Fight.

There cannot be much satisfaction in
'goin' around and lickin' the editor"
when the latter not only makes copy
out of the encounter but pictures him
self as the hero as well. The following
pcn-picture is taken from the editorial
columns of an Iowa journal:
"There was blow. Somebody fell.

mist, we succeeded in winding his arms
around our waist, and by quick ma

CURE "MAD DOGS" WITH SALT.
Hold Them and Force ii Down Their
Open ThrOats.

A large crowd held by the fascinating
interest of danger, and at the same
time ready to retreat in panic, watched
''mad dog" in east Sixty fourth street,
between Park and Madison avenues,
late yesterday afternoon. Finally the
spectators were rewarded by witnessing
marvellous "cure" for whatever allied
the animal.
A small fox terrier was led to chain
by well dressed woman. William
Wolf, of No. $50 East Fifty-sixth street,
accompanied her. Suddenly the dog be-
gan to run about the woman's skirts
and troth at the mouth. Several times
he darted toward her as though to bite
her, but she picked him up by the chain
and held him. Edmund Lysaght, of
No. POI East Sixty third street, grabbed
the terrier by the scruff of the neck
The captive tried to bite him, and Ly-
saght found himself holding the animal
with no chance of safely letting him 60
A great crowd had gathered at a safe
distance and Frank Bernhardt, truck
driver, prescribed common table salt as
a remedy.
A maid from neighboring house sup
piled a small sack of table salt and
every time the dog tried to bark hand
full of salt was thrown into his mouth
The dog was fed several ounces of
salt and became very sick. When he
recovered he trotted off peacefully at
his owners heels. A veterinary said
that the terrier did not have the rab-
bies but an oldfashioned dog stomache
and that the salt was as good a
remedy as could have been prescribed.

George K. Davis, mechanic
who went by water from Arkansas
Pass to Point Isabel, had an excit-
ing trip to say the least and he
was more than glad to set foot on
the mainland Monday evening.
Davis, who is now repairing the
quarantine station at the Point.
was with two other men in a two
masted schooner. This schooner
had an auxiliary gas engine.
Shortly after the men left Arkansas
Pass hard norther struck the
schooner and carried them far out
in the gulf. Luckily it died down
after several hours and the little
ship got back closer to land. The
trip was very rough and consumed
20 hours. When the schooner
arrived at the pass opposite Point
Isabel they could find no pilot and
after an hours wait were finally
taken across by the crew of the life
