MURRAY-DODSON

A fortnight ago this paper announc-
ed that Judson Murray had gone to
Spokane on business trip. That was
just jumping at conclusions. Mr..
Murray was a passenger outward
bound, but Spokane was not his desti-
nation. He headed for Cincinnati,
Ohio, and Don Cupid was responsible
for the long trip east. On June 10, at
Pleasant Ridge, Cincinnati, Mr.. Jud-
son Murray and Mrs. Clara H. Dodson
were united in marriage. Mr.. and
Mrs. Murray arrived in Oroville Sat
urday, and here they will make their
home. Mr.. Murray is a pioneer of
eastern Washington. He lived for a
number of years at Waterville, moving
to Alma, now Okanogan, from that
place. He came to Oroville a few
years ago. He is a gentleman of high
character, a capable business man and
la progressive citizen. May fortune
smile upon the union.

PROFITABLE SIDE LINE
OkanOgan Farmers Turning Their At.
tention TO Raising Hogs

The train going south over the
branch Saturday carried two car loads
OF hogs, one taken on at Tonasket and
another at Riverside, billed through
to Seattle. There were 160 head of
porkers in the shipment, averaging
up to about PIP pounds each, a weight
that meets the demands required by
dealers in the market Pork in be-
coming a very important by product
on farms in Okanogan county, both in
the valley and on the high lands.
Farmers are learning that hog raising
is a profitable industry, and is live
stock that runs into weight, and con-
sequently money, fast, and is some
thing that can always find a market
Shipments of swine are becoming
quite an important source of income
to the new railroad, and these ship
ments are bound to grow III number
and frequency as more farmers turn
their attention to pork raising.
The hogs carried through Saturday
were shipped by Floyd Wickersham
and VIM. Stubblefield, who make their
headquarters at Tonasket, and are
| constantly securing the surrounding
country for marketable beef and polk.
and in that line are doing a thriving
business. Messrs. Stubblefield ald
| Wickersham have the credit of having
shipped the first car load of freight
out of the county over the branch to
Wenatchee, and it was a load of hogs,
and are keeping up The shipments so
regularly that one or the other of the
| firm is on the road almost constantly
between Tonasket and Seattle, going
or coming. AS buyers they are doing
WE'LL as sellers the farmers are doing
well, and as a carrier the railroad is
doing well so the firm is benefitting
while benefitting others.
AS showing the profit there is in
hog raising to the farmer Mr.. Wicker
sham informed the writer that
| pIlN hldIHOulCdl ldI uGI WIFI WHOM
he deals, who keeps accurate ac-
count of the expenses and income Of
| bis farm-a business like procedure
that every farmer could follow to his
advantage ge-told him that the grain
raised on $50 acres netted him 81 02
per bushel fed to hogs. This farmer
marketed his hogs at 200 pounds. A
hog, properly fed, will take on that
weight at the age of eight months.
| Considering the little trouble required
to care for hogs, the equitableness of
the climate, the abundance of water
| in the valleys, the fact that so far the
loss from diseases that affects hogs
in other parts of the country is so
insignificant that it is hardly an item
of consideration, this county should
be producing sufficient pork to supply
the demand of the entire state. Okla
hogan county has the reputation Of
producing the highest grade of beef
I that reaches the market and there is
| no reason why the county should not
win the same reputation for prime
pork.

specting the town Jail MIR. Horton de-
clared it to be too filthy for use, and
did not believe q human being should
be confined in it, no matter how SER
ious his crime may have been. His
humane disposition cost him dearly.
He made arrangements with the i'm
migration officials to keep his prison
ers in the immigration detention room.
This room is solidly built, with grated
windows, and an iron grating door, the
rods made of five -eighths inch round
iron. The room was not constructed
with the aim of holding and retaining
dangerous criminals and hence any
one confined therein would find little
trouble breaking out if not closely
watched. Mr.. Horton anticipated no
trouble, as he proposed sitting up on
guard. About 10 o'clock at night Mr..
Horton went out after a bucket of
water. He was gone only a few min
utes, and when he returned two of his
prisoners had taken French leave. All
they had to do was to bend back the
top of the iron door and crawl out.
The escaped prisoners were Harry
McAllister, who stole a watch from
the engineer at the Treadwell mine
few weeks ago, and Ben Marteson,
who robbed a man in the old Railroad
hotel in this place last fall. Meal
lister was seen in the hills west of
town and near Wanicut lake at an
early hour Thursday morning, and Ed.
Hart came to town and informed Dep
uty Sheriff Carroll. AS we go to press
the hills are being secured by deputy
sheriffs in search of the fugitives, who
will hardly be able to escape out of
the county. Horton went on to Walla
Walla Thursday morning with the two
prisoners who refused to accompany
their companions in their flight. Both
have short sentences to serve, and did
not care to take the chances of recap
ture and having their terms prolonged.
