The Polish Race.

MT. Brandes says in his history of Poland: "1ndividualism was the death of Poland. It was an enthusiastic and impractical people, noble minded and untrustworthy, pomp-loving and vola. tile, vivacious and thoughtless, a peo- pie who despised severe and fatiguing labor, and loved all intense and deli. cate, sensuous and intellectual enjoy ments, but. above all, who worshiped independence to the point of insanity, freedom to the extent of the liberum veto and who, when they had lost in. deper dence and freedom. remained faithful to their old love-"

 with him, and on the next day as Mr. Coles opened his pail whole swarm of hornets came lighting on him and his luncheon. He took to the tall and unhewn, leaving the hornets in full possession.- Carpenteria (Cal) Dis patch to the San Francisco Exeminer.

MONEY IN MUNICIPAL PLANT
Cleveland Has Greatly Reduced Cost of Public Utilities Supplied to
 It's Citizens.

Cleveland has done better than most cities in the application of the com munal or municipal idea to public serv- ices or utilities It has q municipal cold storage, in connection with a market, which cost $2,000000, and is doing well on the investment. It has achieved a three-eent car fare. It now sets out for three-cent electricity. It was paying S90 to $100 a year for street arc lights and the price for pow
 CT use was eight cents kilowa [. Two small electrical plants were es- tablished. The cost of street arc lights dropped about half The cur
 rent was sold by the city from it's small plants at three cents. A heavy loss was predicted. Instead of that, the plants more than paid expenses. Mayor Baker proposed sale of B. 100000 worth of bonds with which to build plant to sell electricity at three cents. The bond issue was passed by the people and the operation of the new plant began last July. In Aug ust there was profit of $500 on the three-cent price. In September the profit was $1,700, and on the basis of business now in hand and contracted for the superintendent estimates the profit for the first year at sl00000. which would about cover interest charges. depreciation and taxes if 1t were private concern. When the plant is completed and running at full capacity the superintendent estimates that there will be net profit of $50o.- 900 annually.-Pittsbur Dispatch

Federal Law on dope"

In the future it is going to
prove a hard matter for the users
of drugs, such as cocaine, NOR
phlne, opium, etc., to buy the
stuff and consequently the dope
fiends brigade should decrease
rapidly. While the federal laws
in the past have been considered
strict and some state regulations
were such that the sale of habit
forming drugs was supposed to
be fairly we'll regulated, the use
of them has become such as to
cause alarm and the seriousness
of the situation has caused the
national government to pass a
most stringent law, which it is
believed will put the drug using
habit out of business.
The measure is known as the
Harrison drug bill and provides
for record of all receipts, sales
and ministrations of opium, cocoa
leaves, salts and derivations and
preparations, including cocaine,
morphine and heroin, and is the
first severe step taken by the
government to stop the drug
habit in all parts of the country.
All persons who sell, manufac-
ture or dispense the drugs named
are subject to a tax. All are re-
CURED to register with revenue
officers every year before the
first of March and then pay a
tax. Before they can sell the
preparations they must receive a
written order from the user, who
must have a prescription from a
physician or surgeon, and both of
these must be on forms supplied
by the government. They must
also be retained by the dealer
for at least two years. Penalty
for violation is a fine of $4,000.
five years Imprisonment or both.
Special revenue agents will
traverse the country and those
who sell the stuff in violation of
the new law will be prosecuted.

The Sacrifice in Hogs

Stockyards. For the correspond
ing period year ago the number
received was a little more than
5000 and two years ago for the
third week in January the num-
Der fewer than 1000. These fig
ures are taken from the books of
the stockyards company and are
to be relied upon.
Most of US remember that sew
en- years ago hogs were selling
on this market at 10 cents a
pound, live weight. 1t will also
be remembered that during the
following year several buyers
went to the Middle West in search
of brood sows, which were bought
and shipped to Oregon carload
after carload. The trouble was
that the hog market in Oregon
was 80 much higher than ever
before that almost everything
that looked like a hog was sent
to the shambles. Hence the high
prices intead of benefiting us as
a whole were a detriment, set
ting the hog-growers back two
or three years.
Now the large shipments come
from another cause.-the high
price of wheat, for most of the
hog-growers depend upon wheat
to finish their hogs for market.
This could be done at a fair profit
with wheat at a normal price;
when it scared up to the $3.50
mark it meant a loss to feed it to
hogs that were worth something
like Z cents a pound.
So again Oregon is being clean
ed out of hogs. Of those reach
ing this market, and we under
stand the same can be said of
Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane,
only proportionate few are act
ually fit for slaughter. The rest
are shipped by the farmers and
other growers simply to save
wintering them. And the price
is falling day by day.
These abnormal conditions are
to be regretted. They arise large
ly from a lack of business acumen
among farmers. They do not
think far enough ahead. They
have, it is true, done wonders in
making Oregon a hog-producing
state, thanks to the crusade for
more hogs that the stock-yards
and packing-house people have
made, assisted very largely by
the railways. But another for
ward step must be made by the
farmers-they must not only
grow hogs; they must grow feed
for them. The idea that wheat
is the only feed or the best feed
fE- making pork is fallacious.
Just so long as the farmers de-
pend upon wheat we are liable at
any time to have conditions arise
as they exist at present.
The farmers, especially the
small farmers, should raise, as
far as possible, their own hog
feed-alfalfa, corn, peas-any-
thing for finishing. They should
not depend upon the wheatgrow-
ers. They should so conduct the
business as to buy wheat when
the market justifies, but to de-
pend almost solely upon it is
sheer folly.
1t looks now as if next year we
would be sending East for brood
sows again. Surely if the present
shipments continue for another
month or two we must. Then
we shall be back right where we
were seven years ago-starting
anew in the business.
This is all wrong. Three
months ago the northwest was
in better shape as to the hog
business than ever before. Then
came $3.50 wheat and we are ap-
preaching the bottom very fast.
