of the several vat inspectors were
submitted to him for investiga
ton.
The investigation of these books

failed to dip regularly every four
teen days as the law demand. The
names of the deiinquents were
handed to the proper authority

closed the fact that it is necessary
that the cattle owners notify the
vat inspector of their respective
dipping place whenever . trans
fer 6f cattle from one vat to
another takes place or in the ease
of sale or whenever cattle are
moved from vat to vat for any
reason whatsoever. The District
Attorney instructed the vat in

unopened Mt tho various newsstands
since .thc first Of the month, when
"'Thc San Francisco Examiner" adopt
cd the policy of sending papers and
magazines, despite the dealers re-
fusal on patriotic grounds to handle

1t was the news that the First
American Army was turning the St.
Mihiel salient inside out and had
reached the frontier Of Germany
that inspired n crowd of Eugene citi-
zens with the notion Of dcvoting the
Hearst publications to patriotic
purpose. From newsstand to news
stand they went, gathering up the
bundles of papers, shouldering them
like faggots and marching to pub
lie square.
There oil was poured over the pile
and match touched to it. While
the flames leaped up in celebration
of the American victory on the other
side of the world several hundred
citizens went wild with enthusiasm.
Some one struck up "Kcep the Home
Fires Burning" and the whole crowd
Joined in the song.
