A Fine Hotel

The Herald editor had the pleasure Of
attending the opening Of the new $500, :
600 Hotel Washington at Weiser, Tues
day evening. The new hostelry is built
entirely by local capital. and would beA
credit to a city Of 1000 people. In all
its appointments the structure s one Of
the most up-to-dste in the entire west,
and the rate most reasonable. Manager
Alton is to be congratulated on the
manner in which he handled the i'm
mense crowd present 1t was expected
that about 500 would attend, but the
crowd numbered about 1900, and every
town within a hundred miles was repre-
sented, and guests were present from
Maine to Texas, and from New York to
Portland and San Francisco. Weiser
certainly has right to feel proud Of its
new hotel and its opening festivities.

EXPERIMENTS
Test of Shorts and Mid
dlings to Supple
ment Wheat.

Corvallis, Ore, Dec 9-The value of
shorts and middIings as a supplement to
ground wheat in feeding pigs for fatten-
ing is the subject OF an experiment now
being conducted by Prof. f. L. Potter Of
the animal husbandry department Of the
Oregon Agricultural College.
Eastern Oregon is becoming greatly
interested in hog raising, and as shorts
and middlings are the most available
supplementary feed for the wheat grow
ers, the experiment will be Of special
value to that part OF the state. Other
tests made by the college prove wheat
alone is not the best feed for fattening
purposes, and thus il some good supple
ment easily secured by eastern Oregon
farmers is found it will do much to fur
ther the swine industry of that part OF
the state
The comparative value of scrubs and
well bred pigs for fattening purposes is
to be determined in another test on
the experiment farm for which herd OF
80 pigs has been set aside.
Since February daily records of all the
feed given the swine and monthly rec
ords of their individual weights have
been kept, and this is regular part
of the experiment farm work, for the
purpose of gaining results are not ex
pected until data for some years can bs
complied and co-ordinated. Ear TAGS
with numbers are to be put on all OF the
pigs to make Identification easier. The
cost of fattening is already fairly well
known, but the cost OF breeding and
raising them to the weaving point is as
yet matter largely Of speculation.
The new farm bought last summer
makes it possible to raise swine under
actual farm conditions.

STATE LANDS
SELECTED
Bear Lake County Lands
Chosen by Commits
sioner Day.

Land Commissioner Day yesterday
Completed the selection Of certain lands
lying in Bear Lake county, in lieu of
sections l6 and s6, which were granted
to the state by the government. The
selection Of these lands is in line with
she policy Of the state to give up such
sections which are not located where
reyenue can be derived from them in
the near future. The lands given up
by the state in exchange for the Bear
Lake lands are located in an unsuryeyed
portion of the forest reserve and would
not be Of use to the slate for many
years.
This policy of segregation of the
tracts Of lands owned by the state will
be pushed to completion next spring.
according to Commissioner Day, when :
large force of men will be sent into the
hills to lock oyer the possibilities OF the
Escts row, oyned by, the state, with :
flew to trading with the government
for lands more centrally located. There
are in excess Of 100000 acres of lands
included in this exchange, the idea Of
the state being to solidiiy its holdings,
