JAMES CRAWFORD AND o. w.
HARTNESS CROSSED PLAINS
TOGETHER IN 1864. PIO-
NEER LOOKING FOR
"BULLWHACKING"
TRAILS.

When we crossed the plains in "a
it took me five months to get to Wal
la Walla from Iowa and while we had
no fights with the Indians there were
times when my hair would stand
straight up and there was a reason for
it."
Thus narrates o. w. Hartness of
Walla Walla who is here today visit
ing his sister, Mrs. John Knight and
hobknobbing with his comrade of
1854, James Crawford. retired harness
and saddle dealer who is here from
his present home in Portland.
During the forenoon today Mr.
Crawford brought his old time friend
to the East Oregonian and introduced
him as man with whom he had
crossed the plains to oregon in "a.
you don't mean it; you are not old
enough to tell that sort of a story"
Mr. Crawford was at once informed
''Oh, yes / am" was the reply
I'VE crossed the plains from Alba,
Iowa to Oregon. We came through
here before there was any Pendle-
ton. Mr.. Hartness went over to Wal
Ia Walla and | went on to Portland
which was then place of about $500
people. From Portland | went to
Albany and later went into BUSINESS
at Halsey. All told I was in business
in oregon for AZ years. Ny wife was
a native Of western Oregon, having
been born near Dallas. Her father
came across the plains in 49,"
On the long trip across from Iowa
the immigrant party had many ex-
periences. There were 40 people in
the party most of the time but some
dropped out. only a few of the men
had guns and dozen Indians could
have killed off the entire party. How
ever no attacks were made. In Col
orado though a stampede occurred
that was bad. Some of the stock gut
away ana horses went as far back
east as 100 miles before they could
be caught
81 had good, health on the trip but
we had strong apperites says Mr..
Hartness. Nothing in the way of grub
was ever wasted. | would eat a heavy
meal every time sat at the table and
would then quit still hungry for fear
the rest should think was hog"
Mr.. Hartness has lived at Walla
Walla for many years and has been
farmer ana groceryman. He has one
daughter with whom he now makes
his home when he is not travelling
around. He is to leave here Monday
for Payette, Idaho. He wants to see

He has not been there since the Short

BIG PACKING COMPANY'S F0REMEE
MAKING RAPID PROGRESS.
Compromising Plant Will Cost About

tai Cost to $750,000

Memphis.-The speed with which the
preliminary work on the new plant Of
Cudahy Packing Company at Leawood is
being carried forward indicates the thor
ough organization under which the big
company operates.
Work was only begun about two weeks
ago, but the foundations for the main
building, storage building and engine
house are almost completed. More than
40 carloads of sand, gravel, concrete and
other material are on the ground and
about rs to 100 workmen are at work.
The buildings at present under con-
struction are the main building for the
compound plant, which will be about 400
feet long, with one-story wing about
rs feet square, running off from the
main building, which is to be three stories
in height; three-story building, so feet
square, for the storage of cottonseed oil
and other purposes, and the engine house.
reinforced concrete, faced with brick, and
that portion of the plant will cost when
complete, with machinery, from $4,000
to 100000.
Later it is intended to erect still larg-
er buildings on the same site, for packing
houses, and to build stock yards and
other necessary structures, which will
eventually entail an additional expendi'
ture probably of from 100000 upward,
bringing the cost Of the entire plant,
when it is completed, to least $75O,Oo0'

The possibilities OF the hog is a mat
ter almost entirely In the hands of
the feeder
Red clover in bloom is not good for
hogs, but when young it makes fine
pasture.
The growing pig requires protein
and not much corn. 1t Is all right
to give a little corn. but too much Is
harmful
In purchasing boar 1t is well to
bear In mind that one with heavy
bones is more to be desired than one
of slight build.
Neither rape nor clover alone will
do for growing, fattening hogs. They
must have some grain twice a day
for best results.
To make fall pigs do we'll, they must
be provided with warm stepping quar-
tiers at night, and filled with sunshine
during the day.
Don't select heavy, lazy SOW for q
breeder. She should be mild In dis
position, but possessed of sufficient en-
ergy to take exercise.
The practical remedy for little pigs
that are liable to be troubled with
thumps is to provide them plenty Of
exercise and large range
The pure bred hog will mature and
come into money more quickly than a
scrub, and bring more money for the
same weight, at that.
The farmer who marketed his corr
in the hog yard, and who is now mar
keting the hogs, can look any man in
the face and tell him to go to any ole
place.
One acre of alfalfa will furnish more
forage for hogs than two acres of clio
yer, as 1t grows faster and keeps or
growing as fast as the hogs eat II
down.
Pigs will live and grow on rape
without supplement of grain, but 9
small addition of the latter Is profit
able. Dry sows will, however. do vel
on rape alone.
Never feed more than hogs will cal
up freely. Many farmers do not prac
tice this, but keep quantity of un
eaten food lying about the lot at al
times.
A few Goals from the wood fire o.
the kitchen put into the houses nov
and then, where the hogs can GRIND
them up to charcoal, help to keep tbs
hogs healthy.
Steaming food for hogs Is an easy
matter. All that Is required Is large
