TEXAS AND THE HOG.

For many years Texas has held
production of cattle. Within the past
five years the state has attained first
rank in the production of mules. The
state surpasses any other two in the
production of cotton. 1t is we'll up
among the leaders with 1855, 100000
bushels annually, says the Fort
Worth Telegram.
But when it comes to the humble
hog, Texas must take a back seat
True the state is credited with a tri-
file over 100000 head or one for
every fifty bushels of corn produced;
but the total production of hogs in
Texas is scarcely more than one
area no greater than that of West
Texas and the Panhandle combined
Iowa leads all the states with s.
100000 hogs; Illinois has 1900, coo
and Nebraska, 4.243 600. Even Mis-
souri, and Indiana produce more
hogs than Texas.
There is no reason for it. Ii it
We're absolutely essential that hogs
be fed Indian corn Texas could still
lead the country i'll hog production,
though the corn would have to be
shipped from sections of the state
where it is raised easily 10 those
where the crop is more difficult But
Indian corn is not necessary, Green
forage to start and kaffir corn milo
maze and cotton seed TO finish will
produce hogs anywhere in Texas
Since the opening of the 1908 sea-
son st. Louis has been compelled to
take a back seat for Fort Worth S
cattle market. Fort Worth has been

on the east bank of the Mississippi
But during the same period St
Louis has been handling 10000
hogs daily against Fort Worth's g.

Texas will not reach it's full meas
ure of prosperity until the pork pro-
duction shaws an increase America
is a great pork consuming nation
and the fact that Texas itself pays
from s12,000,000 to Sl5,000.000
annually for pork not raised within
its own borders shows that this state
is no different from the rest of the
country.
Lard type, packing type or bacon
type, Texas must produce more
hogs. When the states annual hog
production is pushed up past the s.,
100000 mark, not only will the Fort
Worth packing houses reflect the
increase, but the improvement will
be felt in the pocket of every far
mer and stock raiser who has taken
the time and trouble to, test and find
the profit that lies in pork.

Farmers and others in Rath-

Der that another market day will
be held in Rathdrum on October
3rd. Anyone having something
to sell should list it at once at
Farnsworth's feed store, SO that it
may be advertized in advance OF
the sale. Articles, of course, may
be listed any time up to and in
cluding the day of the sale, but
listing early gives an opportunity

Some foot races or other amuse-
ments are being talked of to help

TWO men HELD UP
Near Rathdrum Ball Grounds
Saturday Night.
JOHNSON AND COVEY, VICTIMS
Steve Remener in Jail Charged
With the Crime.

A holdup occurred on the county
road just nJrth of the ball grounds
about half mile east of town,
about midnight last Saturday night,
when Jonothan johnson and Frank
| Covey were relieved of 25-caliber
rifle and So 10 money, respectively
Steve Remener, lahorer at Ramsey,
Is under arrest at the county Jail,
charged with the crime.
Mr.. Covey Is a farmer of Rimrock,
and johnson, who is an elderly man,
Is laborer who has been around
this neighborhood for sometime.
Both men were In town Saturday and
remained until midnight when they
started to walk home. According to
their story their progress was checked
near the ball grounds when someone,
who had apparently approached
steallhily from behind, struck john
son over the head with a revolver,
telling him. johnson carried the
rifle, and it was probably fear of this
weapon that prompted the bandit to
attack him the way he did. The
blow cut severe cash in Johnson's
head, yet he claims he made a strug-
gle to retain possession of the :ihe.
The bandit, however, succeeded in
wrestling the weapon from him and
then turned his attention to Covey,
whom he relieved of $5 gold piece
and some silver, about SO IN all. He
asked Covey If johnson had any
money, Covey replying in the mega
tive. He did not search johnson,
although the latter had about ST. .25
on his person, besides pouch con-
tanning the cartridges for the rifle
that had been taken from him. The
highwayman then took bis departure,
and lis victims, by circutous route,
returned into town.
They found Marshal Ed Sullivan
without difficulty and reported the
holdup to hiln. The marshal mount.
ed his horse and with his usual
activity made search O. the vicinity
but without result on account OF the
darkness.
The sherlff's Office was notified, al
so, and on Sunday morning Deputy
Sheriff D. r. Adams, In company
with Coyey and johnson, proceeded
to the scene of the holdup and took
up the trail of the robber which led
to Ramsey. six miles east, where
Remener was placed under arrest.
Sheriff Mcdonald reported later that
revolver and the money taken from
Covey were found on Remener.

BIG FISH IN FISH LAKE
Attempts Being Made to Get One of
the Monsters.

Active efforts are being made te
capture one of the big fish recent,
discovered in lower Fish lake bu,
thus far every attempt has beer
without avail.
The first report came about two
weeks ago when two Norwegian
iaoorers at Williams logging camp
Claimed they saw some monster fish
swimming near the logs, one Of
which laid itself alongside of log
which it surpassed in length from
which it was judged the fish was over
twelve feet long. Few seemed in
clined to believe the story. Later,
however, the fish we're seen again by
Walter Hudgens who shot at one
with fife, causing it to exhibit its
broad tail above the surface while
diving out Of danger. Several
Rathdrum people began to take
notice of the reports and to make
trips to the lake. Several Of them
got glimpses Of the monsters, as
many as five Of which have been re-
ported seen together at one time.
The fish are thought to be sturgeon
because of their great size but no
one has been able to ascertain def
nitely as to their identity. The
wonder is how such large fish got
into the lake and how they have
kept hidden for so many years.
Fish lake is fed from mountain
streams and has no outlet, except
the creek, which does not reach any
other body of water. The lake is of
great depth in places and the fish
may be mud feeders that have been
driven from their place Of abode by
some unusual disturbance in the
bottom of the lake. For weeks dur
ing the past summer the water,
which is now clear, was filled with a
yellow substance composed of min
ute particles which we're believed to
have come from the tulie banks or
from logs. This condition was very
unusual and now that the surface
water is clear much of this matter
may have settled into the bed of the
lake, spelling the feeding grounds
Of deep water fishes which may have
been there for years seldom if ever
coming to the surface.
Mr.. Weisemann, secretary of the
Spokane fish and game protective
association, accompanied by Mr..
Anderson, also of Spokane, were
here Tuesday and went out to Fish
lake with B. K. Short of this place
to try to get look at one of the big
fellows, but were disappointed in
their quest owing to the high wind
which was blowing all day, keeping
the surface of the lake in a state Of
unrest.
