Hog Cholera Said
10 Be On the Increase

Assistant State Veterinarian w. ].
Woods has had his attention called du
ring the past few days 10 a number of
cases of hog cholera. existing on
Walla Walla pork ranches. and he is
now battling in the endeavor TO stamp
out the malady before the entire way
ley is in it's grip. Three ranches are
affected, and during the past week So
hogs have died on one ranch. 20 on a
second and Is ON third The fight
now being waged by the veterinarian
is TO cOnfine the infection to its present
bounds, although it is not thought
many of the porkers on the farms re-
ferred to, will survive, and the total
death list viii total close to 500. In
most instances the disease was allowed
to spread to alarming proportions be-
fore DR.. Woods was summoned.
When found at his Office last nigh.
Dr.. Woods was rather reticent in dis
cIssing the case and refused absolute
ly to give the names of the farmers
suffering the loss, claiming that there
was no danger, as none of the hogs
were being marketed and it would only
injure the farmer. DR.. Woods says the
malady is in q mild form and if the
farmers cooperate with him they can
stamp it out before it has the entire
valley in it's grip. Two additional cases
of hog cholera have been reported to

Much Seeding Yet
To Be Done, Says
Local Farmer

.Wo have more moisture in the
ground this spring, and conditions for
spring seeding are better than in 20
wears said Jap Scott. one of the most
extensive wheat growers of the valley,
this morning. There will be two-thirds
more spring seeding in the Walla
Walla valley this spring this year than
in previous seasons and at the pres
emf time conditions are ideal. / believe
winter wheat is safe, but in some To-
calities spring wheat which was sown
in the fall will have to be reseeded. /
have seen reports in some papers re-
eardins the bumper crop this valley
was to harvest next fall, but it is early
vet to make any predictions, for the
reason that the percentage of spring
sown grain will be much greater this
year than in past seasons, and it is i'm
possible to tell what future weather
conditions will be-"
MANY Walla Walla valley farmers
last fall allowed seeding operations to
go over until this spring, believing it
wise to change tactics and try seeding
in the spring. AS a result, many or
the most productive wheat sections OF
the county are at this time in a con-
d;tion bv which no forecast of next
years crop can be made. According
to all authorities, considerable fall
sown grain has been injured by the
severe weather of the past few months.
but this is so small in comparison with
the total acreage of the county that
the damage would be comparatively
glisht were it all killed. Blue Stem and
Red Chaff may be damaged, but the
harder Turkey Red and kindred vari-
cites are not hurt at all.
AS soon as the weather conditions
will permit, the wheat growers of the
valley expect to start seeding opera
ton, and as the ground now contains
more moisture than for many seasons,
the great majority of growers keel that
they planned we'll and wisely In de-
Gliding to change to spring blowing.
Conditions have not been better fol
such operations in the past 20 years,
according to wheat men who have
lived here for that length of time, and
while they expect a big crop, they say
it is to early to send broadcast the
reports that this wheat belt will har-
vest one of the biggest crops in the
history of the west.

Parties at the "Y."

The three Valentine parties he'd yes
terday in the Y. NJ. G. A under the
direction of c. w. Haddon, superin-
tendent of boys classes. were pro-
nounced to be a great success. The
first given by the boys of the Junior
class of the Y. NJ. C. A. was between
News Boys club from $50 until s
o'clock and the last by the Boys club
of the First Baptist church from s D.
m. until 10 o'clock.
Various forms of amusement were
in store when the boys arrived. VAL
entines were placed III 4 box and draw n
later in the evening. each boy reading
what he received. Other smaller
heart valentines were placed in a
bunch with strings tied to each one
and interlaced together like a cob-web
all over one end of the hall. The boys
had to wind their way out of the
mix-up and get their valentines. The
favorite game was that of niger baby,
consisting OF a framework Of cloth,
through which some boy put his head.
The others then threw at him with
soft balls. The boy picking up the
balls got next shot, and the boy hit
ting the niger baby got to put his
own head in.

THE PACIFIC COAST LEADS.
A. Seattle Company Has Made the
Greatest Record Ever Made by
Any Similar Company in
the Iin;ted S+ateS

No company in the United States
has ever before made such a record
as the Northwestern Mutual Fire as
ISOLATION of Seattle. One of the grand
features of the company is that the
policy holders who pay the premiums
get the profits instead Of a few stock
holders During it's nine years his
tory it has made its policy holders
over $4,000 and paid them 1,215
losses in an average of only three
days after receipt of proof. In addi-
ton to the large dividends it has ac-
cumulated cash resources one-third
greater in proportion to amount need
ed to carry policies to expiration than
the ten largest stock companies in
the United States.
There are over 1000 mutual COM
panies in the United States, but the
Northwestern has already attained a
place among the so strongest OF these.
and the average age of the others that
have attained equal strength is over
so years.
1t is interesting to know that no
such mutual company has ever failed
after having attained the strength OF
this company. 1t issues non-asses-
sable policies which participate in the
profits of the company.
