COOPERATION WITH
FARMERS A SUCCESS

Portland, Or. July 27.-Practical
cooperation with the farmer by the
banking interests has proved success
ful at Bend, or, where c. S. Hudson,
cashier of the First National bank at
that place, has greatly encouraged
the hog raising industry. 1t seems
the plan was originated by him and
1t Is growing in favor in many parts
of the country. Mr.. Hudson believed
that the country around Bend was a
good one for hog raising, arranged
for the shipment of carload of well
bred sows from the middle west, dis
tributed them to farmers in the vicin-
ity of Bend and took their notes in
payment these notes to run for one
year.
The first year of this experiment
has now passed, ana Mr.. Hudson is
very much encouraged. In a letter
just received by d. o. Lively, vice
president of the Portland Union
Stocklards company, Mr. Hudson
says:
Il am glad to advise you that the
hogs will be a very profitable invest
ment for the people who purchased
them. have had a report from each
man, and taking the two ltters of
pigs from each SOW l believe they will
average a profit of 100 per cent apiece
or more. In two or three cases l
know they made as much as 200 per
cent"

FLOOD RUSHES UPON
men AS AUTO STICKS

Asa Thompson. we'll known Echo
resident and chairman Of the repub-
lican county central committee, and
who is in the city today, had an ex-
citing adventure during the recent
flood which poured down Butter
creek. according to a story coming
from his home town. He and A. j.
Coburn. had set out by auto for Hep
pner a short time prior to the storm.
While crossing the narrow valley at
a point where it begins to widen to
a distance of several hundred feet
they ran into an irrigating ditch two
feet deep and some three feet in width
which was entirely covered with wa
ter The front wheels of the auto
mobile passed over safely but in max
ing the dip the engine stopped leav-
ing the rear wheels in the ditch
While Coburn was running a line to
near by pole and preparing to use
block and tackle, Mr.. Thomson's
attention was attracted by a noise up
stream, and, upon looking. he beheld
wall of water three or four feet in
height bearing down upon them. The
first impulse was to run. for tall tim
Der but Thomson stayed with his ma
chine while Cobern ran for high
ground. While in this .perilous po-
sition the depth of water kept In
creasing and forced Mr. Thomson to
the highest point of his auto where
he stood in water knee deep and
with a shovel managed to keep the
floating debris from lodging against
the auto until the flood had passed

TITANIC STRUGGLE
IS ON TOMORROW

Like two clouds surcharged with
electricity they impend. With their
contact must come the thunder
shock Though the immortal Victor
Hugo referred to the battle forces of
Rome and Carthage when he wrote
the foregoing lines, he might have
been speaking. had he been gifted
with the vision of seer of futurty
of the two imposing arrays of horse
hide beavers assembled in Pendleton
on the present date under the titles
of Court and Main Street Baseball
Teams" and which are scheduled to
clash at Roundup Park tomorrow.
Today is the day before the battle
and both ColoneI Jake Welsh and
Major Bill Lytle have called a halt
in the strenuous maneuvers so that
not one of their recruits shall enter
the fray jaded or overtrained. Real
iZing that the game tomorrow must
settle once and for all the long and
bitter rivalry between the two busi-
ness streets. neither generalissimo is
taking a needless chance.
Welsh today announced that the
litigation over the Keefe-Sturgis bat
tery had been decided in his favor,
and. therefore he feels, modestly
enough, that the betting odds should
be placed on his team to win. How
ever, Lytle is foxy if nothing else,
Learning that Lefty Hewitt. the south
paw Buckaroo twirler recently sus-
pended by Garrett, is making his pres
ont habitat on Main street. he imme-
diately enlisted that twirler to help
out Milne, the former high school star
slabster On the receiving end he
has the old reliable Jerry Cronin, the
beginning of whose baseball career
antedates the flood.
So much good talent was available
for the remainder ot the two teams
that each manager has chosen eigh-
teen men. The first to take the field
have been selected because of their
peculiar aptness with the stick. They
are, as announced: Court street, Col
Inns first base, Perry second base,
Drake third base, Fletcher shortstop,
Strand, McMonies and Cherrier out
| fielders; Main street, Hoover, first
base. Jost second base, Dickson third
base, Corby shortstop, Hays, Watson
and Henshaw outfieders
For umpire there will be none other
than II. NJ" Turner. an experienced
arbitrator whose decisions have the
adamantfne strength of an imperial
ukase of his highness, the czar. 1t is
reported that a professional holder
of the indicator came down out of

SEN. LODGE LEADS
ATTACK ON BILL

Washington, July 27.-Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts, led an at
tack in the senate today on the sugar
tariff revision bill, maintaining that
the tax on sugar doesn't come large
ly on the poor. and that the house bill
removing the tax would in no degree
lessen the high cost of living for those
on whom it presses hardest. The DEM
ocratic minority of the senate finan-
cial committee filed a report today
on substitute for the house sugar
bill. 1t is said the members of the
committe edon't believe it wise to
surrender fifty million dollars of pub
lie revenue in one bill
Lodge said: Every civilized nation
taxes sugar. Those best able to do so
largely pay the tax because they are
the chief purchasers of those luxur-
les in which sugar Is used. The free
sugar theory embodied in the house
bill appears to be that if the duty on
sugar is removed the entire benefit
will come to the consumer"

REBELS FACING
FEDERAL FORCES

Juarez, July 27.-The advance
guard of the federals was sighted yes
terday by rebels at Matachie. in the
MADEIRA district 25O miles south west
of Juarez When this news reached
General Orozcos headquarters here a
train was ordered made up on the
Mexican Northwestern railroad. with
the evident intention of transporting
rebel troops from Casas Grandes to
MADEIRA to face the advancing federal
forces. The main body of federals
was reported at La Junta.
The days development makes clear
at least the mode of the federal ap-
proach to reclaim for the government
the strip now held by rebels along
the border of the United States. The
federals evidently will approach Ju-
arez along the Mexican Northwest
ern railroad.
\ courier arrived to report at Oro-
ZOOS headquarters here that the
rebel destruction gang so far had torn
UP about 60 miles of the Mexican
Central road. burned the ties and de-
stroyed the rails for all future use.
one hundred additional men were
sent south along the Mexican Central
to assist in the work.
Just what action the approach Of
the federals will cause is not an
nounced. Orozco originally planned to
evacuate Juarez and leave by Casas
Grandes, for the state of Sonora,
where his main command is holding
forth, but today's developments may
lead to an entirely new plan

Washington July 27.-The senate
according to schedule, will take a

tirely satisfactory for all concerned. 1t
