PACKERS CLAIM TO
FAVOR LOCAL PRODUCER

PORTLAND, April 9.--rhat only
loyalty to the Pacific northwest hog
grower will enable producers of this
section to weather the present crisis
In their industry is the idea that pre-
walls in the local trade. Buying hogs
in the middle west Is not considered
as an aid to the local Industry; In fact
every hog that comes from east OF
the Rockies means that much less aid
In maintaining local hog raisers. At
tention of the trade again has been
called to the fact that a Seattle pack
err is buying heavily of eastern hogs,
the government report showing that
% loads were loaded In North Dako-
ta alone Sunday for Seattle interests,
While the idea has prevailed in some
quarters here that these hogs cost
the importer more money than was
ruling for local hogs. other packers
assert that considering shrinkage. the
middle west hogs can be landed here
at lower rate than is being paid for
the northwest offerings.
Local meat packers have received
offers of eastern hogs but have not
been inclined to purchase, because
OF their efforts to aid the Pacific
northwest industry. -.
Hog Trade Is Strong.
Trade in the hog market was quot
ed very strong at North Portland dur
ing the day. Receipts were slightly
increased over the preceding period.
but killers seemed much more anxious
to take hold.

SHOWED HUNTER NEW trick
Willy Fox climbed rree to EJude
Enemies, and Finally Made His
Escape unlnIured.

One of the slyest foxes that has
been liberated by the Speakman hunt
In many years led Pennsylvanians a
chase recently The fox kept the
huntsmen going for half an hour,
when they suddenly lost him. They
found tree under which the hOnRdA
were baying and cavorting, but de-.
spite a diligent search being made
no trace could be found Of the fox.
The huntsmen were about to turn
back when one of their number hap.
pened to cast his eyes up In the
tree, and there on one of the limbs
sat the willy fox. Recovering from
their amusement, straws were drawn
to determine who should climb the
tree. 1t fell to the lot of William
Speakman. Reing an expert climb,
er Speakman was soon out on thu
branches, and giving the limb Wig.
orous shake, Reynard tumbled OF.
Although he fell a distance of 80
feet he was not injured in the least.
He gave the dogs another lively chase
as far as Thomas farm, where he
saved his brush by holIng.-Phlla-
delphia Record.

When we got 10 the GaIlipoli penin-,
sula the fifth time our battle feet
and Transports lay, off the straits. We
could not reach the little harbor on
the Turkish coast, but the whole feet
felt happy and fairly confident Of vic
tory. We lay off Cape Helles, and It
was there we received the news chat
there were submarines lying around
Gibraltar. Then they were reported
off Malta. We got the news from Brit
ish trawlers and transports. Our off,
GERS said the subs could not reach the
Dardanelles without putting in some
where for fresh supply of fuel, and
that the allied fleets were on the look
ou- at every place where tire subs
might try to put in. But they got there
just the same.
Then the British superdreadnaught
Queen Elizabeth, "the terror of the
Turks" came In. She left England
with whole fleet of cruisers and de-
stroyers, and all the I.lmeys said,
shell get through. Nothing will stop
her."
One of the boys aboard of her told
me he had no idea the Dardanelles
would be as hot place rs he found
1t was. "Gaw bllmey," he said, "what
with lodging shells and submarines,
you cawn't 'elp but run onto bloomin'
mine. Hi don't mind tellin' you," he
said, "that hi was scared cold at first.

but he weren't nowheres near. Blarst
me, there weren't nowhere you could
look without dom yer bloody heye a
dirty trick"
When the Queen Elizabeth entered
the Dardanelles, the Turkish batteries
on both shores opened right on her.
They had ideal positions, and they
were banging away in great style. And
the water was simply thick with
mines, and for all anybody knew, with
! subs.
Yet the old Lizzie sailed right along,
with her band up on the main deck
playing, "Everybodys Doing It." It
made you feel shlvery along the spine.
and believe me, they got great hand
from the whole feet.
They say her Old Man told the boys
he was going to drive right ahead and
that If the ship was sunk he would
know that the enemy was somewhere
in the vicinity. We'll. they were hended

Are we downheartedq" they would
yell. "No!" And they were not, either.
They did not brag when they put 1t
over on the Turks, and they did not
crouch when they saw that their Red
Caps had made mistakes. Their motto
was, TRY again." and they tried
day after day. i do not know much
about the histories of armies, but
do not believe there was eyer an army
like that of the allies In the Galllpoli
campaign. and ! do not think any
other army could have done what they
did. / take off my hat to the British
army and navy after that.
1t was hotter than have ever
Known 1t to be elsewhere, and there
was no water for the boys ashore but
what the navy brought to them-some-
times a pint day, md often none ut
all. The Turks had positions that you
could not expect any army to take,
were well supplied with ammunition
and were used to the country and the
climate. Most of the British army
were green troops. 1t was the Apzacs'
first campaign.
They were wonderful boys, these
Australians and New Zealanders.
Great big mep, all of them. and finely
built, and they fought like devils. 1t

hardly any sleep. no water, sometimes
no food, They made mark there at
Gallipoii that the world will have to
go some to beat.
Our boys were on the job, too, We
held our part of the works until the
time came for everybody to quit, and
1t was no picnic. The French should
be very proud of the work their navy
did there In the Dardanellss.

A FAMILY
 MEDICINE
h Her Mothers Home, Says This Georgia Lady, Regarding Black Drausht. Relief From Head
 ache, Malaria, Chills, Etc.

Ringgold, Ga.- Mrs. Chas. Gaston, of this place, writes: 'I am a user of Thedford's Black-Draught; in fact, 1t was one of our family medicines Also in my mothers home, when 1 was a child. When any of us child ren complained of headache, usually caused by constipation, she gave us . dose of Black-Draught, which would rectify the trouble. Often in the Spring, we would have malaria and chills, or troubles of this kind, we would take -Draught pretty reg ular until the liver acted well. and we would soon be up and around again. We would not be without 1t. for 1t certainly has saved us lots of Draught when not 90 well saves lot of days in bed"
 Thedford's Black-Draught has been in use for many years in the treat. ment of stomach, liver and bowel troubles. and the popularity which It now enjoys Is proof of It's merit.
 If your liver Is not doing It's duty, you will suffer from such disagree able symptoms as headache. bilious ness, constipation. indigestion, etc., and unless something Is done. serious trouble may result.
 Thedford's ack-Draught has been found a valuable remedy for these troubles. It is purely vegetable. and acts in a prompt and natural way. regulating the liver to It's proper functions and cleansing the bowels of impurities. Try 1t. Insist on Thed- tord's. the original and genuine. H 1o
