Within the last week local veter-

the animal killed. This case, with an
other one recently reported, has led
dairymen to express a desire to make
an investigation.
CITY WILL COOPERATE.

plan to secure a competent veterinari-
an and have him make a systematic
examination of all herds. Dairymen

up Tuesday night after the police had
raided their place and found a refrig-

The proprietors offered an unique
explanation. They said they had A.

own beer and the firm took charge O
it, checking off each bottle as it wa

might suffice, if it were not for tn

Tho Sack Suit.

1t is hard for q today's man, as he
leans back in his sack suit and tries to
think imagine a time whep the
easy |; comfortable bobtail coat was
yet unknown and all coats sported
tails.
The sack suit originated in France
in the thirties, about the same time
that our trousers took their present
shape. 1t is possible that the two in
novations were correlated as the
changes in coat and trousers have al
ways gone hand in hand. France was
the mother of the sack when it was
developed from the French blouse, a
garment Of coarse linen worn by Ia
borers and peasants. The new coat
was at first worn only by 1aborers.
but before long it became very fash
ionable in France 1t did not cross
the English channel until 1916 and
was not worn in this country much
until after the civil war. In fact, 1T
was the war uniform Of the soldiers
that gave it's introduction to the Amer
lean public The soldiers found out
the merits Of the short coats. so civil
ian short coats became popular. They
were soon adopted by all classes W

CRATER LAKES HUGE RIM.
All That is Left Of a Once Mighty Vol
cano In Oregon.

Ali That is Left Of Once Mighty vol-
cano In Oregon.
The highest mountain in Oregon Is
Mount Hood, 1l,225 feet above sea
level. Compared with Mount Whitney,
to the south In California. and Mount
Rainier, to the north In Washington,
each rising well above $4,000 feet,
Mount Hood does not appear as a sky
scraper.
However. according to the biologists
of the United States geological survey
and other authorities. Oregon had at
one time, probably before the dawn of
life upon the earth, great volcano
which lowered as far above Mount
Hood as does Mount Rainier, possibly
even several thousand feet higher.
This was the great Mount Mazama.
But thousands Of years ago this noun
tain disappeared into the bowels of
the earth, and all that is left today Is
the huge rim around Crater lake.
Crater lake is the caldera of this ex-
tinct and collapsed volcano and Is
nearly six miles in diameter. The in
side walls OF the rim Of the ancient
mountain are In places nearly 1000
feet high and almost perpendicular.
The lake itself Is In places 1000 feet
deep, and parts Of the wall rise above
its waters another 1000 feet. A resto-
ration oe.the mountain In fancy, using
as basis the angles of the lower
slopes. which still remain, shows that
the apex could not have been far from
$1,000 feet in height, 80 that Mount
Mazama was one Of the most lofty and
majestic peaks in the United States
