The breeders of the Durcos and the
heavy boned tpye of Polands kept in
touch with the pork breeders and
their prices have been fairly we'll
above the killing values.
In the state of Washington, it has
been extremely difficult or the breed
er of stock or pork hogs, to see his
way clear to make a profit. Larger
profits seem available by selling his
grain. For this reason hogs all over
the country at the present time are
showing small profits over the grain
values required for feed. Naturally
the pure bred breeder suffers with
this restriction in pork production.
Pork, however is reaching up to
such extraordinary values that the
farmers are beginning to see the rich
profits in feeding grains, even at
$40. 90 ton.
There are a number of pure bred
breeders over this state and Oregon
who are offering pure bred pigs of
either sex at from $40. 90 to $15. 90,
and even lower prices have been heard

to say that the farmers who desire to

more profitable to buy pure preds at
such prices, than he would to buy
those of unknown breeding, even at
half or one third the price. The

high class technical school or in the
state agricultural college. The lead

the best books are to be found in his

a hired man of any capacity, he is

the market for stock cattle, hogs or
sheep is brisk, there is small incent
i've for the new breeder to put extra
effort on pure bred stock. Corn and
other grains necessary for feed, have
been high for the past three years,
and nearly all stockmen are loath to
spend much for these. Naturally he
finds his neighbor in the same pre-
dicament, and soon he finds that he
can get as much at the public market
as be can from breeders for his stock.
Feed being high, the incentive is to
give up even beef or pork breeding.
However, if the breeder has stock
that is far in advance of his neigh
bors, he generally will not find much
difficulty in selling at good strong
advance, over "block'' or meat pur-
pose prices. This may we'll be illus
trated by short horn cattle, Poland
China and Duroc Jersey hogs, in
the central states. A few of the lead
ing breeders of short horn cattle at
least, have been able to sell at prices
most equal to those of 19O1-O2 and o.
AS for the breeders of the finer type
of pure bred Poland Cbinas, however,
they doomed their hogs to great
height, we can give list of 80 Pol
and China boars that sold at from
$500 to $500 each, and when the
trouble came it hit the entire breed
ing fraternity of that type with such
force that recovery has not yet begun
to make it's appearance. Those who
are breeding the heaviest type of Pol
ands, however, have been doing we'll.
The breeders of Duroc Jerseys have,
however, maintained a coarser quail
ty and have therefore, been able to
maintain much better trade.
Several sales of bred sows last win
ter reached the high average of 500,
each. Of course these have been very
few. The rule for the best ones was
around $36 to $40. One sale just held
at Dayton Ohio averaged S71.55 with
1910 top. Another at Macon, ILL.,,
averaged $50. 95 each for forty head.
Here the top price was $l65. In the
two sales twenty six boars averaged
$91.7 The breeder Of pure breeds is
dependent upon his success on that
of the breeder of stock hogs for the
pork market. The fancy or fine
bone Poland China breeders tabooed
this idea. They would continue to
breed hog whose legs we're SO short
it could hardly walk after it began to
get into proper condition for market.
They could educate the farmer of the
country how to grow pork. All of a
sudden the bottom dropped out of
the pan and the fellow breeders otes
they we're carrying made very pro-
digious wind pudding. Had it all
happened in one community, certain
ly it would have caused much suffer-
ing.
Grain apparently became too high to
be protitably fed for pork raising.
New recruits to the pure bred bust
ness could not be formed, and the
lesser lights already in the charmed
circle of high prices dropped out. 1t
was then the breeders of the fancy

FRENCH RIFLES ARE
CALLED OLD

Paris, Sept. PA cry of alarm
has raised the roof of France several
inches, and il is on the subject of the
usefulness of the rifles now in use in
the French army. No less a person
than Lieutenant Colonel Rousset de
clares that in case of war the arms
would be of little use, and that they
would have TO be thrown away in less
than three months.
About a year ago a French admiral
remarked that none of the French
ships was ready for battle. He was
promptly dismissed from the service.
The minister of the navy, however.
after an investigation was made by a
commission of deputies, saw that the
admiral was correct. and slyly. when
nobody was looking, handed back to
the officer plum greater than that
which was taken away from him.
The present cutlery may get some
one else into similar trouble, though
at present General Erun is too tickled
over his new division of aeroplanes
to pay much attention to anything
else. He only says, Pooh. poohi"

little piece for the papers. He said
with the lovely optimism which
is habitual with the minister of war
he wishes to inform us that the rifle,
model 1856 is an 'arme eXcellente.
He says it is as good as the rifles of
other powers. He is mistaken.
The rifle, model 1856, called the

peating mechanism is but little bet

necessity the money should not thus

ment. supplementary pay is TO he
given to officers and men engaged in

as follows:
On aviation duty, but making no

MAY STOP SALE
of LOANED STUFF

There seems to be some dissatis-
faction with the attempted disposal
of the small personal property that
was loaned to the poor fellow, Julian
kohler. who died yesterday in his
tent on east Main street.
Ii appears that the tent-shack was
built by member of the Presbyterian
church. that the stove was loaned by
the Elks and that various other art
icles were provided for the unfortun-
ate old mans use, as it was realized
that he could not live very long.
Now it is reported that some one
has proceeded to appraise the stuff
and has announced that il will be
sold at auction for some purpose or
other. The fact that the several art
icles were not the property OF Mr..
kohler but belonged 10 the charitably
inclined who may have further use
for it in similar cases this winter,
does not seem to have entered into
consideration OF the parties assuming
to take over the stuff.
Ii is probable that the personal
property will be redistributed among
the lenders for further charitable use
the coming cold season.

GRAFT SCANDAL IN
THE CZAR'S COURT

St. Petersburg. Sept 22.-On the
eve of his trial as arch delinquent in
the graft scandals. General Reinbot,
ex-governor of Moscow, has turned on
his accusers in sensational style He
has published a book of over 400
pages giving a detailed history of the
secret Instructions he received from
headquarters in St. Petersburg.
The.teNt of the orders sent to him
which he prints, goes to show that at
the time of the rising in Moscow and
for a year afterward he was officially
required to furnish his police de
partment with funds by whatever
methods he thought he could most
successfully enforce. The principal
charge against him is called "disln-
terested eXtortion." which is explain
ed to mean eNtortion not directed to
the benefit of his own pocket.
He would. tor instance, receive in
structions to acquire 5000 more re-
volvers for his police and be told at
the same time that the cost must not
be debited against the budget of the
war department. On some occasions
the instructions from st. Petersburg
would go so far as to suggest to him
how he could raise the money.
Re was to make out n list of fic-
tit!ous offiCehnldCrs wi ove my was in
arrears from the tiTe rc the preced-
ing governor: he was then n super
seie their department by creating an
other to cope with the new situation
and place them all on a pension fund,
which the imperial treasury, but not
the funds of the war department, had
to meet The whole transaction was
fraud. but it raised money for a
time
Then he was instructed to come to
terms with the gambling houses and
other illegal establishments on condi-
ton that they pay n voluntary" as
sessment TO the Red Cross, which in
Russia has many special sources OF
revenue, such, for instance. as own
ing the monopoly for the manufacture
and sale of playing cards Part of
the money. says Reinbot, went to the
Red Cross and the rest to buying
uniforms and arms and even to fur
nishing the pay of the police, who
then numbered nearly 10000 in Mos
COW. The minister of the interior
who ordered him to adopt this meth
cd was. he says, Durnovo.
As to exceeding his authority, Rein
bot prints pages of correspondence to
show that he was imperatively given
to understand that he must leave the
minister in ST. Petersburg alone and
clean up the mess in Moscow by
whatever means he could devise, rest
| ing always on the assurance that so
| long as he succeeded no fault would
| be found with him.

MAKE WORSHIPPERS
KILL AND EAT GIRLS

Berlin, Sept. 22.-The Cologne
Gazette gives details of a CHASTITY af-
fair in Haiti, according to which o
woman named Esteis Liberis. aged
"a, has murdered and eaten five chill
dren. The woman in question is a
member of the secret religious sect
worshipping Vaudoux t"VoodooD /,
the snakegod. Inspector of Police
De Cambronal has submitted to the
authorities a full report of his in
vestigatiens into the matter from
which the Gazette quotes the follow
ing:
In her house | found barrel con-
tanning picked human flesh, the re-
mains of child about ~ 1t is I'M
fortunately Well known that the Nau-
1oux faith has still many adherents.
In name, these natives are Chris
tians; but in secret they remain de
voices of their snake-god. and hold
private meetings at which he is wor-
shipped. The priests of the cult are
all-powerful, and the sacrifices are
usually animals, but occasionally. as
in the present instance, young chill
lren are inundated.
The god himself takes the form of
a snake, and his mouthpiece is a
priest. who is assisted by priestess.
Esteis Liberis, the young woman con-
ferned in the present affair. was at
he time high priestess OF the cult At
the great ceremony in honor of the
snake-god, the high priest and priest
ess sit on double throne. the woman
being clothed in nothing but gor-
seous girdle. Worshippers Of both
sexes attend with red cloths wound
around their loins. On an altar stands
wooden box containing the snake,
which is brought from its box and
worshipped by all present, gifts being
placed on the altar. while the popu-
lace pray for the fulfillment of some
great public desire. Then begins a
wild dance, headed by the chief
priestess, who discards her girdle as
the dancing grows more furious. and
halt is not called until the people
begin TO fall exhausted to the ground.
If any misfortune has befallen the
people, a sacrifice is offered to the
god. II was on one of these occasions
that ESTES Liberis insisted on the
sacrifice of human victim. and, in
concert with man named COMO
Pelle. decided to kidnap girl, niece
of COMO The child's mother. was
enticed away and on her return was
Informed that the chief priestess had
called for her daughter The mother
seemed greatly honored, and a special
ceremony was Immediately arranged.
when all were assembled, the girl
was fetched from her hiding-place,
laid in front of the altar, and strang-
led by her uncle. Her head was cut
off, and all those present drank some
of the blood, which was collected in
bowl. The flesh was subsequently
cooked at Conzo's house. and. instead
of being eaten, as had formerly been
customary was preserved.
Two girls who had overlooked the
cooking OF the flesh were declared to
have offended the god, and these two
were then similarly sacrificed. their
deaths being followed by two more q
