HOG MARKET SOAR
ING RAPIDLY UPWARD

The hog market is on the jump
again. During the past week Sc
attle packers paid as high as $3.50
per hundred and there is every in
dication that they will have to pay
more before the summer ends with
the further prospect of prices con-
timing high next fall and winter.
In fact, it 10 the opinion of North
west packers that hogs will contin-
ue high for an indefinite time,
probably several years. The Euro
penn war, according to the experts,
has not many more months to go,
and once it is ended famished Flu
rope will be after our meats and it
will take good many thousands Of
tons to keep them going. Fur
thermore, if Germany keeps up her
merchant submarine these undersea
freighters will soon be carrying
American packing house products
back to Germany.
1t is pretty generally conceded
that the man who has a bunch Of
fine hogs and is in a position to
produce more is going to be in a
very enviable position before the
present year draws to a close.

Facts About
That r. F. D.
Official Information as to
Rural Route and New
Post Office for
Old Town.

There seems to be an erroneous
impression prevalent in certain
quarters that the establishment of
the rural free delivery will in
scme manner interfere with the es-
tablishment of post office in the
old town. This could not possibly
be true, for so far as the Post Office
Department is concerned, the post
office there is established. The Of
flee has been named and even the
manner of service provided. All
that is needed now is to find some
one who will qualify as postmaster.
When the Department decided on
the establishment of the Office there
they instructed the carrier on the
star route, James Shepherd, to
travel through the old town on the
days he carried the mail between
the White Bluffs and Hanford post
Offices, and raised his salary as car
rier to compensate him for the ex-
ira distance travelled. The object
of this was to provide the manner
of serving the Office there. The
mail will be made up in the White
Bluffs post office and delivered to
the Office in Bluffs every Tuesday.
Thursday and Saturday.
The Department has sent all the
papers for the establishment of
r. F. D., and as soon as those hav-
ing them in charge can decide on
temporary route that promises to
furnish the necessary number of
patrons over the distance travelled,
the regular form petition will be
circulated. All r. F. D s must go
on a three-times-a-week schedule
for the first year, and at the end of
that time can get the daily service
if they have delivered the sufficient
number Of pieces of mail Based
on the amount of mail being re-
ceived now, there will be little
doubt about getting the daily SER
vice here at the end of the year.
So that the only difference in get
ting the mail over the R. F. D. and
at the post office at Bluffs will be,
that if you get it at the Office you
will have to go after it, and if you
get it on the R. F. d. it will be de-
livered at your gate.
