overly-dramatic bills and deals with

SELL HOGS AT s8.ah.

The hog market is now on a ram
page. The Portland Livestock Re
porter says that the advance In hogs
has been little short of sensational !.
the advance is still on and no one
knows where it will end. Hogs on the
street are selling unusually low for
dressed hogs in comparison with the
live article. When farmers can sell
their hogs at 10 cents dressed and can
get 500 alive they lose around a
cent and half per pound.
Growers in this community took ad-
vantage of the high prices offered this
week when three cars were brought
in for shipment, e. s. Sweet securing
two cars which went to the Seattle
market, and John Rothlisberg one car
which he shipped to Tacoma. The
price paid here was $S25 per hundred.

DIPTHERIA SCARE
Only Four Cases Developed and Well
i'm Hand-Needless Fright.


Some excitement was caused in this
community this week by the report
that an epidemic of diptheria was
prevalent and rapidly spreading over
the city and would in all probability
cause the closing of the schools. An
interview with DR.. G. S. Stockton,
the quarantine physician, discloses the
following conditions: Miss Miller, one
of our teachers, was suffering from a
sore throat and was compelled to re-
main away from her duties. Her
physician, DR.. Slusser, was called and
after a thorough investigation and mi
croscopic examination, discovered the
presence of the diptheria germ. The
home was Immediately quarantined
and treatment given, and yesterday
Miss Miller was able to be up about
the house and converse with friends
over the telephone A short time later
! two more cases were reported, and on
being investigated by the quarantine
physician, were found to be well on
/ the way to complete recovery from the
home treatment that had been admin
1 iStered This family was promptly
quarantined and every precaution has
since been taken to prevent the spreao
of the disease and to quickly stamp Il
out, and as no new cases have beer
reported, seems to be meeting with
success. A large number of parents
! with children suffering from sor'
throats have kept them out OF school
and it has at once been noised arounc
that they were taken down with dip
liberia, but Dr. Stockton states tina
such is not the case. Three cases
have been the limit, and they will sool
be released from quarantine, and Their
is absolutely no cause for alarm.

Destruction.

State Auditor Jorgenson has, been
very busy the past month making
payment of bounty for the destruc-
ton of coyotes and wolves.
For more than year there have
been no funds with which to pay such
bounty and the certificates sent in to
the auditors office have been regis
tered and numbered in the order re-
ceived and returned to the owner to
be held by him until funds might be
available for their payment. &
In 1911 the general fund was Short
and as the wolf bounty fund seemed
to have more money than it needed,
the legislature authorized the trans
fer of $40, GOO from the wolf bounty
fund to the state general fund. Dur
ing the same session the special levy
