Law Forbids boarding.

Persons who have sought to excuse
their violations of rules and regula-
tons Of the United States food ad-
ministration on the assertion that
There is no law requiring it, are
warned that there is law governing
such cases. According to the law,
persons who willfully hoard any nee
eSsaries shall, upon conviction, be
fined not exceeding $1,000 or be i'm
prisoned for not more than two years,
or both. The statute sets out just
what "hoarding' is and includes, not
only the act of boarding, but the with
holding of necessaries to gain a high
or price for them. Hoarders will be
prosecuted In the federal courts.

Irriaate 100000 Acres.

PORTLAND, Ore.-More than a
score Of representatives of Spokane,
Seattle, Tacoma and Portland. dele
gates from chambers of commerce,
met in Portland recently to map a
cooperative movement for bringing
attention of the people to the Co
lumbia basin irrigation project and
to form a cooperative joint organiza
ton that will work for the general
development of the Pacific north
west.
The Columbia basin project pro
ponents propose to divert the water
of the Columbia and it's tributaries tt
100000 acres in eastern Washing
ton SO that the great area may be
transformed from it's state of un
productiveness to one which vii
yield millions of dollars worth Of
crops.
The project is one of the largest
reclamation schemes in the Unitec
States. The land included is level OF
rolling and while the soil is fertile
the rainfall is so slight that it is
largely unproductive.
Through irrigation it can be trans
formed, say experts, to one of the
llnest crop sections in the United
States.

Underground Railroad and
Useless Caucus Room, Two
ExtravaganCes at Capitol.

One of the curiosities of the capitol
is the miniature railroad that connects
the senate. Via underground passage,
with the senate office building, relates
a Washington correspondent. The cars
Of this railroad operate on a monorail
by electricity
The road is about $50 yards in length
and has Il double track. When enc
car is at one cud of the track the other
ear is at the other end and vice versa.
The railroad was Intended originally to
aid senators in making speed from
their offices to the senate chamber. Roll
calls do not require much time in the
senate and there is danger that if
roll call is asked when senator is in
his Office he will miss the roll cali UNI
less he uses the electric ear. That
saves him about ten or fifteen seconds
time.
The road is open to the public and
1t costs nothing to ride. AS II conSe-
quence messenger boys, clerks and
ianitors use the railroad freely, while
senator's, except on days when the
weather is inelement, prefer to walk in
the open air between their offices and
the senate chamber.
Besides the initial equipment, the
road entails an expense of about $50
weekly for the employ of two opera
tors and probably half that amount for
electricity. This would make yearly
| expense of $500 as a very conserva-
tive estimate. AS matter of fact the
railroad probably costs more like Sc, 000
or $1,000 year.
The senate has another extravaganza
that is almost an eyesore. This is the
palatial caucus room that cost no one
knows how many thousands of dollars
when the senate Office building was
constructed. The room is finished
throughout in marble and has immense
crystal chandeliers. 1t has the largest
seating capacity of any room in the
capitol except the hall of the house
and the senate chamber.
Yet the acoustic properties of the
room are so bad that 1t is never used
and it stands there as an expensive
monument to some ones mistake In
planning the senate Office building. OF
course person would ordinarily pay
no attention to such thing as bat
acoustic properties, but in this room II
cannot help but be noticed.

PROSPECT OF
CHEAPER LUMBER
Expectation OF Lower Prices Hardly
Warranted, Says |. N. Tate of
Weyerhaeuser Co.

SPOKANE.-"The market situation
in other commodities has brought
about greatly curtailed buying, prac-
tically stagnation, in the lumber mar
ket,' says |. N Tate, assistant general
manager of the Weyerhaeuser Lum-
Der company. This tendency is
brought about by the expectation OF
lower prices. 1t is hard to see how
this can come about. Lumber prices
are now pretty close to the price of
logs AS soon as crops begin to move
perishable commodities will be given
priority and, with the car situation al
ready bad, it will probably be much
worse before it is better

In the work of controlling hog
cholera. for instance, perhaps the
greatest hindrance has been the ten
dency of farmers to attempt the
diagnosis and treatment Of their own
herds, or else to call in IN unframed
layman, who frequently does not
recognize the disease or advises the
wrong procedure in the handling Of
the outbreak. According to experts
1t is not always an easy matter to
recognize hog cholera, as symptoms
are sometimes obscure. Other all
ments of swine, such rs pneumonia,
worms and tuberculosis, at certain
stages of development, somewhat re-
semble hog cholera. Accordingly
training and experience are required
to distinguish between these and hog

The practicing veterinarian should
acquire all possible knowledge per-
taining to control and suppression of

lions associated with the disease have
created a multiplicity of opinions

even within the veterinary profession

1t Is evident that all swine-produc-
ing localities should have someone
available whose services, based on
training and experience. are reliable
