UNAVOIDABLE.

Norman Hapgood, in Harper's
Weekly, declares. in spite of long-es-
canons, that the weather is a perfectly
legitimate subject for discussion
among even the most intelligent and
careful classes. 1t is relief to have
this authoritative sanction as things
now stand. Both May and June have
so far behaved in a most outrageous
and unbecoming fashion. Cold and
rain marked the presence of the so
called merry month of Nav" June
came in with a chill in her garments
and cold in her throat only to brighten
US with a sudden excess of tempera-
lures for several days last week. Then
rain and wind again and a present
interval of sunny days which recall
Lowells oft-quoted lines. 1t is dan
gerous further to prophesy or even
hope. From an overplus of cold in
May to an overplus of rain in June
the farmer and gardener has come to
a point where he is fearful of what
will happen next. 1t is said that in
1916 this country had a cold summer
in which vegetation was almost totally

NIX ON THE SOUSED IROUI.
From West Virginia comes the conn
plant that prohibition affects the
price of fish. Not by making it diff
ficult to secure bait, or causing the
fishermans toll to be less attractive
than hitherto. Not at all. But in
pursuit of the utmost rigors of the new
prohibition law in that state officials
have been emptying whisky barrels
into the trout streams, and the unfor-
tunate fish have persisted of alcoholic
excess. A clash between the game
wardens and the excise officer is
threatened. Soused mackerel may be
we'll enough for the seaboard states
but soused trout in West Virginia are
not to be endured.-Gaylord Sentinel

Another blunder that the United
States made in the handling of the

The home team had a two-run lead

when the visitors went to bat in the

suffer most for the reasons i have
mentioned.
Representative Gardner wanted to
know IL a fixed rate of taxation and
triennial assessment wouldn't serve
as a check on any impulse of Con-
gress to raise District taxes to meet
the requirements of annual budgets.
Col. Truesdell pointed out that all
people who were familiar with mat
ters of taxation had commented on
the inequity of q triennial assess
ment instead OF an annual assess
ment, and. in view of the ability of
Congress to change both the ASSESS
ment period and the rate of taxation
with one paragraph in the annual ap-
preparation bill, he was not inclined
to believe that the checks suggested
would be effective.
Col. worthington called attention to
the fact that the Commissioners, in re-
porting favorably on the George bill
calling for annual assessments and a
flexible tax rate, based upon the require
ments of the budget, had excoriated the
fixed tax rate plan as economically I'M
sound and an encouragement to extrava-
gance."

CATTLE TRADE
IN BAD SHAPE
lCourtesy SUNDAY Journal.l }


PORTLAND, Ore.-It has been
week Of demoralized market eondi-
tlons generally in the livestock trade
at North Portland. The severe de-
preston in the swine market, caused
much apprehension among both SELL
ers and producers. The spread be-
tween prices available in this market
and those IN effect at eastern and
middle west centers is still increasing
in favor Of the outside markets.
Killers are filled to overflowins
with swine supplies and hog products.
That they are not doing all in their
power TO relieve the situation is indi-
Gated by the fact that provision pri-
ces are utterly out Of line with the
live hog market Lower prices for
provisions would clean up a large per-
cent of the surplus now on hand and
allow the trade to start anew.

Cattle Market l. sick.
Real weakness was shown in the
cattle market at North Portland FOR
the week. The fact that a very large
per cent Of the arrivals are of infer
ior quality, is big argument against
the price at this time.
Killers have been forced to take
on so much poor cattle and feed
them at heavy expense and the dress
ed meat market has been so inactive
that there is no snap to the trade at
all
