has seemed to many that
farmers living outside of
the corn belt should pay
more attention to the
raising and feeding of
bacon hogs. The lard
type of hog, when partly
fattened, will not take
the place of the genuine
type of bacon hogs. In
meeting the demand for
bacon hogs the farmers
should select some one
of the breeds which pro-
duce a large percentage
of lean meat.
When the pigs are
young they should be al
lowed to range far and
wide, eating clover and
grasses, skinned milk,
buttermilk, oats and bar
ley. Toward the end OF
the sixth or seventh
month, when they are
nearing the time for mar
ket, they may be fed
some corn. By selling
the pigs at this period it
will be found that it cost

were sent to the dead letter Office in
Washington and the rest will go soon.
The intercepted cards are of the va
riety which have glass or mica OF
sand upon them and have not been
eitherly properly stamped or not en-
closed in an envelope. For a long
time the postal authorities permitted
the sending of such cards, but within
the last few months the depar. aent
has ruled that all such cards must be
inclosed in envelopes in such man
ner that the mica and other particles
could not reach the hands of the
carriers.
Some of the cards were sent in
transparent envelopes and the stamps
placed on the inside SO that they
could not be Cancelled. On other cards
there was writing inside the trans
parent envelope which was sealed
with only 1-cent stamp on it.
So if your friend tells you that you
did not respond to the Easter greet

know why. Or If you have been
spending your money for these fancy

tination, you may know why.

STUART IN TROUBLE.

Not in years has the Portland po'

Case
Continued from page u

States.
The pertinent question involved in
this case Is, what does concurrent
jurisdiction" as used in the enabling
acts Of the State Of Washington and
Oregon mean. In this case the plain
tiff in error was bona hde resident
of the State OF Washington, and had
complied with the statutes OF the
State Of Washington in regard to
fshing on the Columbia river with
purse-nets,
The State Of Oregon has passed .
PENAL statute prohibiting fishing with
pursc-nets on the Columbia river,
while the State 81 Washington has
passed a law allowing fishing with
purse-nets ON the Columbia river
upon the payment Of a certain license
fee. The two States instead Of pass
| ing the same or similar laws, have
passed laws Numerically opposed to
each other.
The contention OF counsel for the
plaintiff in this case is that the
States Of Washington and Oregon
each in its sovereign right. own the
lbed of the Columbia river up TO the
boundary line where the river forms
the common boundary between them
and each has in its territorial limits
exclusive sovereignty over all per
manert structures attached to the
river bed. the FISH therein. and the
power to regulate the taking OF suef
FISH.
That concurrent jurisdiction means
that where both States have passed
the same or similar laws in relation
to civil or criminal matters, thei
! either State may enforce its law
over its boundaries where the rive
forms the common boundary; tina
until each State has passed the sam
or similar laws, neither State cal
: enforce its laws outside Of its owl
territorial limits.
