FOR AND AGAINST
THE HOG LAW
Hog Law Discussion By L. G.
Mitchell, j. w. Andrews
and William Hetchler.

To the voters Of Nevada county:
A hog law would be a great
help to the farmers of this
county as they would not have
to keep up so much fence as they
do now. and could have better
hogs. One good hog kept up
and fed will make as much meat
as half a dozen hogs running on
the range. AS it is now, the
farmers must keep good fence
all around his place to keep hogs
out that belongs to some fellow
that lives five miles from where
his hogs run at large. 1t would
not take so much to feed a few
good hogs as it would a lot. A
man could fence in five or ten
acres to keep his hogs in and
could feed them on the stuff that
goes to waste around his place
better than he could keep up a
mile or more of fence to keep
out other peoples hogs. Un-
less a hog is fed a little after
running on the range a year
there is little meat on him when
killed, and then they will blame
the merchant for selling them
lard at 10 cents q pound that has
been shipped from the mort h
down here to cook the hog that
has been running on the range
all the year Let us all get
better hogs and keep them up
and raise more stuff that we can
use at home and then we will not
have to ask the merchants to
furnish us and our hogs. l wish
to say to you that | think it
would be to our mutual interest
for us all to vote for the hog law
and keep our hogs at home out
of some other fellows corn patch.
Yours for hog law,
William Hetchler.

To the voters of Nevada county:
l would like to speak a word in
regard to the Hog Law and also
in reply to Mr.. Sam Pittman's
letter. Will say that he and |
are just alike on Hog Law only
he is against it and l am for it.
think it is for the mutual in
terest of land owners, renters
and merchants too to vote for it.
In regard to the feed stuff for
hogs, in the first place, we don't
try to make it. We cannot leave
cotton alcne long enough to raise
feed for our hogs. Next, we
haven't got the right kind of
hogs. We must do away with
the Pine Hill Rooters and Razor
Back and get the improved stock
so that it will not require so
much feed. Let it be as it is,
take two improved hogs and
keep them up and give them the
same amount of feed that you
give Razor Backs running on
the range, as you call it, and you
will make just as much and better
meat.
In regard to the range, we
haven't that here. | guess Mr..
Pittman had reference to rain.
if it wasn't for the rain we have
through the summer a lot Of our
Pine hill Rooters would fall to
slaves. They get so poor through
the winter that when they go to
root in the ground their hind
feet fly clear off the earth, and
in the spring they get so pot-gut-
ted that they need stills to walk
on to protect their abdomen
from wearing out on the ground.
We admit that some living
near the bottoms have very good
range, but the confusion and
trouble and lawsuits that those
people have with hog thieves

UNCLE TOM MAY
KILLED BY TRAIN
Knocked off Trestle Between
Emmett and Prescott
On Last Thursday

Last Thursday morning about
6 o'clock Uncle Tom May, a
highly respected farmer living
about five miles south of town
was knocked off a high trestle
about 2 miles this side of Emmet
and instantly killed, his brains
being knocked out and his lungs
laid bare. 1t seems that he was
going to Emmett and that he was
walking the track. A Mr.. Joe
Willingham was the only eye
witness to the killing outside the
train crew. Mr.. Willingham had
met the deceased and while talk
ing to him heard the train
whistle for Emmet. They part
ed and in a short time he heard
the train whistle as if something
was on the track, and on look
ing around saw Mr.. May pitched
from the high trestle by the
train.
Mr.. May was about seventy
years old and was of dim eyesight
and very likely miscalculated the
distance of the approaching train
on that account, and it was on
him before he really knew it.
The coroner was Immediately
summoned and with a jury went
to the scene of the accident. The
verdict was that the deceased
came to his death by being
knocked off the track by said
train.
Mr.. May had lived here a long
time and had reared large and
respected family. The bereaved
have the sympathy of the entire
country in the loss of this good
old man.

Mr.. Editor: | would like to
have space in your paper to en-
dorse Mr.. Pittman's view on the
subject, and to express my
opinion. All he said was the
truth. | have raised hogs all my
life. and know something Of
what it is to keep hogs in the
pen all the year. l lived two
years where there was a stock
law, and saw how it worked. l
don't think it is the thing we
want. It is a law in favor Of the
landlord and against the tenant,
or rather for the few against
the many. There is little enough
meat raised now, and if we had
that law there would be less.
As Mr.. Pittman said, we must
look after this matter. l under
stand that it is to be voted on in
July. Let us not sleep on our
rights but vote it down if possible.
If we have to give bond for
cost let's get about it and see
that the thing is met fairly. We
can vote it down in this part of
the country. Some one make a
call for the opposers to meet at
the court house and arrange the
matter. If all feel as l do, we
will vote it down.
Yours against hog law,
j. w. Andrews.

ROB JARVIS
DECLARED INSANE
Was Carried to Little Rock
Sunday Afternoon by
Sheriff Hood

On last Saturday, Rob Jarvis,
of Rosston, was declared of un-
sound mind and was taken in
custody by the sheriff and placed
in the county Jail until a place
could be had at the Hospital in
Little Rock. He was carried to
that institution Sunday afternoon
on No. 6 by Sheriff Hood and a
brother of the unfortunate man.
Mr.. Jarvis was one of the sub
stantial citizens of that neighbor-
hood and the cause Of his de-
rangement is not known. The
post Office at that place was
made vacant a few days ago by
the resignation of DR.. Menden-
hall and Mr.. Jarvis is an appli-
cant for the place and it is
thought by some that worrying
over the matter was the immedi-
ate cause of his reason becoming
dethroned.
1t is to be hoped that he will
soon become himself again and
that he will be restored to his
family and friends in his proper
mind.

would pay the expense of keep
ing them up.
Now, lets study this matter
and go to preparing for the hog
law. Take the fencing that we
use around our farm and prepalr
pastures and pens for our hogs.
Now to the renter, lets do a.
way with all those dozen Razor
Backs and get two or three i'm
proved stock and kill all the
hound dogs we have and give
what we feed them on to these
hogs. Keep your hogs up and
raise more feed stuff, and quit
raising SO much boil weevil feed,
and vote for Hog Law and we
will prosper and the merchants
wont have to sell us so much
meat. | think the merchants
can help us out by voting for
Hog Law.
If this escapes the waste
basket, l will come again. |
would like to hear from some
other brother on this subject.
Yours for Hog Law,
L. G. Mitchell.

THE TACOMA TIMES
DallY SNORT sroRY
SOL BLUHGBERG's
STRATEGY
BY Harold Carter

The massacres by the Russian
mobs, from which he had escaped
as a steerage passenger to New
York, via Hamburg, had never in
spired Sol Blumberg with such
terror as his present predicament.
So deep, indeed, was the appre-
hension that he had endured. that
the most desperate resolution
which he had ever formed had
now grown up in him. He would
kill the mighty official with the
blue uniform and get back his
blinded son.
He had lurked for four days I'm
the coal shed on Ellis island,
femerging by night deity to steal
some scraps of food flung down by
Immigrants. He had drunk dirty
rain water from the pools.
This Is what had occurred. With
his young son, he had taken pass
age for America upon the Sar-
DINA. Then the ship had cast an
Choir in the bay and tug had
taken the immigrants to the IS
land. Inside the large building
they had been lined up for medi-
cal inspection. The first doctor
passed them for physical condi-
ton; the second for freedom from
tuberculosis; the third looked for
trachoma.
For what does he make that?''
Sol Blumberg asked his neighbor.
And the neighbor had jokingly
replied:
"He wants some good eyes to
|put into the heads of blind Amer
leans"
And before Soils horror had
had time to disappear, the doctor
was pulling down the lids of his
son Yankel.
Looks like trachoma," he sid
to his assistant. "Hustle him in
there for further examination"
An instant later little Yankel,
screaming with fear, was inside
the cage, where a husky porter
guarded thocs immigrants sus-
pected of having some physical
infirmity.
With a scream Sol Blumberg
had dashed inside and seized his
son by the arm. Together they
dashed blindly down through "a
passage into q basement, their
pursuers close upon their heels.
Through tho window, Yankel,"
screamed Solomon. Men dragged
at their coat tails. When the
scrimmage was over, Sol found
himself outside the building, tat
tered and bruised, while Yankel's
cries went echoing family after
him.
He did not know how the news
papers recorded the remarkable
escape of a crazy immigrant, nor
how his son, having been passed
as fit for admission. was being de-
tanned until the father could be
located. He had observed, how
ever, that the high official in the
blue uniform silent in a bedroom

liz you would achieve the success
of this dish. Take two tablespoon
fuis of fine olive oil and put into
"a very large pan, so large that
each slice of the fish may be put
in without one piece overlapping
the other. Chop two onions very
fine and add them to the heating
oil. Lay the fish slice by slice In
the pan and cover, and let them
"etouffe," or smother for about
ten minutes, turning once over so
that each side may cook partly.
Then take the fish out of the pan
and stir well. Add six large
fresh tomatoes sliced very fine,
and let them boil well. Then add
half a lemon, cut in very thin
slices, and pour over pint of the
liquor in which the head of the
snapper was boiled. Season well
to taste with salt, pepper and
dash of cayenne. Let 1t boil I'M
til very strong, and till reduced
almost one-half, then lay the fish
slice by slice. apart one from the
other, in the pan, and let boil five
minutes. In the meantime have
prepared one good pinch of SAT-
from, chopped very fine. Set 1t in
small. deep dish and add a lit
tie of the sauce in which the fish
is boiling to dissolve well. When
well melted and when the fish
has been just five minutes in the
pan, spread the saffron over the
top of the fish. Take out of the
pan, lay each slice on toast, which
has been friend in butter; pour
the sauce over and serve hot, i'm
mediately, and you will have
dish that Lucullus would have
envied.

aration of other famous creole
dishes will be disclosed in a final

the fourth night his resolution
was formed.
There was no moon, and, grasp
ing the long knife which he had
taken from Russia as a protection
against the savage Indians of New

through the window frame until
he stood over the sleeping Off

Sol Blumberg's shrieks had

hurrying in. One turned on the
