PRAIRIE CREEK FIRM
FEEDING zoo PoRI


Morgan & Policy have turned off
440 head of hogs this fall from their
Prairie Creek ranches. They have
bought 5000 bushels of grain and are
now feeding about 700 head, which
will not be sold until the latter
part of the winter.
Claude Sprague of Corvallis, who
has had charge of Morgan's dairy
ranch the past summer and fall,
was given leave Of absence and
has gone to Corvallis to take the
short course In agriculture at the
o. A. c. He will probably return
in the spring. Stone Butner, re.

Danger of Pestilence.

There is the gravest danger that a
pestilence will follow the destruc-
tion of the town. On account of
the vast havoc wrought, bodies will
lie unburied for days and weeks.
Those who escaped death, many of
whom are badly injured, are making
their way by the thousands to the
nearest place of refuge.
Mount Aetna appears to have
been the center of the disturbances
and that portion of Sicily within a
radius of 40 miles seems to have
been laid waste. 1t is not known
whether the volcano is in action, as
that section of the island is complete
ly cut off from the world, even the
railroads of the entire eastern half
of the city being destroyed.

THE BONE IN THE BONUS

Christmas bonus. The act is wholly
gratuitous. IL looks like a mighty
good thing. and so 1t is, so far as IL
goes. But, latent In such acts lies the
crux OF the whole tariff-trust trouble.
