12 THE. MOUSING OEEGONIAN, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7. 1902. RATES ARE TOO LOW So Swears Vice-President of . the St. Paul. DONOTCOMPENSATERAILROADS Mr. IHd Sr.Irt There Had Been Xo Scientific. Rate Slaking: for 25 Ycarti Baxcd on Competition, ' Comparison and Compromise. CHICAGO, Nov. 6." A. C. Bird, third vice-president of the St. Paul road, took' a bold stand before the Interstate Com merce Commission today when that body began an Investigation Into rates on cattle and packing-house products between Chi cago and the Missouri River. Mr. Bird was the first witness of Importance before the commission, and when asked if he de sired to defend the reasonableness of the St. Paul's livestock rates he declared that they were not reasonable. "Not only are our livestock rates un reasonable." he declared, "but all our freight rates today are unreasonable, be cause they are entirely too low to compen sate for the service rendered. All freight rates should be raised, and I am surprised that the railroads do not make a combined effort and raise them." Thla statement surprised the members of the commission, and they Immediately carted to ascertain Mr. Bird's reasons. The witness stated that it was unfair to take the past two years as a basis from which to judge .the fairness of rates and the fairness of the remuneration derived by the railroads, for during that period the -volume of traffic had greatly increased, whereas before that period railroading had not. as a general proposition, been re munerative. With respect to cattle rates, Mr. Bird acscrtcd that cattle did not now. and had not for years, paid their just proportion f Z transportation charges, and further to reduce the rates of cattle would be to make a bad situation worse. When asked what governed the scientific making of rates, he replied that he had not seen the time in 25 years when rates could be made on a scientific basis. On the contrary, rates are always based upon competition, comparison and compromise. The present inquiry is at the instigation of th.c Chicago Livestock Exchange, which allege? that the lower rate on packing bouse products which exists betweeen Chi cago and Missouri River points, relative to the rate on cattle, operates against the Chlcagb market. Under prevailing rates, packers can better afford to convert the livestock Into packing-hous; products at Misfourl River pointo than at Chicago. While pn the stand. Mr. Bird explained that he had always deemed It wise policy to make as low a rate on the raw material as on the finished products, but that when a rate on the latter, which was not re munerative, was forced upon the roads, he did not believe In also forcing down the livestock rates to maintain the relation. The Interstate Commerce Commission began a two days' session in this city to day, with Chairman Knapp, J. D. Yeo mans. C. A. Prouty and J. W. Fifcr present. The afternoon session was devoted to the case of the Proprie tary Medicine Association of America against the Nov York Central Railroad Company, in which the medicine men c'alm a discrimination Is made against them by the railroads, and the Jew York Central In particular. The commission took evidence In the case, but decided to hold it open for a short period. G. S. Gill." chairman of the official rate classification board, of New York City, testified today. He said that the neces saries of life, agricultural products, pay the largest percentage of freight rates of ; any commodity the railroads transport. Frequently, he said, the freight rates on wheat, corn and. potatoes are 50 per cent qf their value. In the case of the Chicago Live Stock Association against IS railroads West and Northwest, charging discrimination In rates on livestock as compared with the rates on dressed and finished goods. Sec retary Tomllnson, of the Live Stock As sociation, outlined his charges against the railroads. He said the schedule fa vored Kansas City against Chicago as a- lhe stock market. In this case the State Railroad Commissioners of Minne sota were granted leave to file an In tervening petition In which they set up that the present relative rates between live stock and dressed beef und packing house products are fair and equitable and should not be disturbed. The case against the Santa Fe Railroad was dismissed at the request of the Live Stock Association, as it developed that this road had recently reduced its rate on live stocK from 23 to 12 cents from Missouri River points. GOOD MARKET FOR HOGS, x Ralirond Circular Cnlls Attention to the Industry. General Frclgh and Passenger Agent Coman, of the Southern Pacific, has just Issued a circular to agents calculated to call attention to the hogratelng Industry. The present favorable market Is the oc casion for this reminder. "It "has been thoroughly demonstrated." says Mr. Co man, "that hograising. in connection with other branches of agriculture. Is profit able business." To point the- moral and adorn the tale he quotes the following from the Medford Southern Oregqnian of October 2S: Last Monday was "hog day" in Medford. In other words, 73.000 pounds of hogs were ex changed for coin of the realm at fU cents a pcund, probably the biggest price ever paid for live porkers In Southern Oregon. They were weighed on Hubbard Bros, scales, and averaged about 200 pounds each. J. W. "Wiley, Gore & "Wortman and C. C. Ragsdale pur chased tliem from the following parties: Head.! Head.

This is more evidence of the fact that nothing pay3 better than raising swine This exhibits the activity in the hog market in Western Oregon this Fall. The actual cost to the producer was small and the profit was-, large. There Is no prospect of a falling off in the demand. But the significant thing for Portland is that these fine hogs go to the San Fran cisco market, while merchants of tills city -arc paying" $150,000 a year freight; on pork products shipped in from the East ern packing-houses. Both producer and consumer wonder why Portland does not pack these Oregon hogs for the home market. Instead of sending the hogs out of the Etate and importing the cured prod ucts from the East.

How They Got In Their Unpleasant Position Otl the Washing ton Const. . The British bark Lodore. which came near beinsr wrecked on the Washington coast near Willapa Harbor, October 31. arrived up yesterday morning and dropped -anchor in the stream. She comes light from Acapulco and will find a slip today, probably at Wejdler's to discharge ballast. The vessel Is under charter to the Portland Grain Company to take wheat to Europe. Captain Killey. In discussing his adi venture off North Beach, says it was the big seas and lack of wind that put him in that position. "We reached tho bar at 7 In the morning," he said, "and that was entirely too early, as I soon found out. Had we got there at 10 o'clock or later. wc would have found a tug there and would have missed our unpleasant expe' rlence. As It was, the only thing we could do wa3 to try to stand off shore. The wind failed us and the current setting in up coast carried us toward the beach at the mouth of Willapa Harbor. There was nothing to do but let go both anchors, which fortunately held. Naturally we furled our sails and that led to the lm pression at the signal station that our canvas had blown away. There we lay all day waiting for help or a breeze off shore. The swells were tremendous, and the ship rocked as If she would turn tur tle. About 4 In the afternoon the steam Bchooner Iaqua came along from tho north and asked If we wanted assistance. .Nothing else was in sight and we were glad to get a line aboard the schooner. We raised one anchor, but before we could get the other up the hawser part ed. Then we were as bad off as before. with this bulky jschooner at close quar ters and apt to go afoul of us at any time.- In fact she did bump against us once, but did no great damage. Presently wc got a line made fast again and wero towed out of this tight place and anchored safely for the night. In the morning at 6:30 the tug Tatoosh came along looking for us with her searchlight, and our troubles were over. We crossed In Satur day morning without mishap." captain Jviiiey was here 17 years ago In the little Iron bark Cralgmullen. and then he was forced to beat about off the mouth of the river for two weieks before he could get a tug. He thinks the river has a grudge against him. "Anyway,' he said, "its a good thing we got out our anchors promptly last Friday, or we would have been a seaside attraction for the Summer visitors next season sura enough."

This session made provisions for strengthening- Its reserve fund, benefit fund and Interest fund. Hereafter the assessments will be called monthly instead of by the old plan. Each member who holds a certificate for $1000 will pay 50 cents monthly Into the reserve fund until all is paid, and in the same ratio on a larger or smaller certincate.

Why should these organs be aided in their work ? r Because the digestion of ordinaiy food is more than they can accomplish when they are in a weakened condition. It'is necessary that some aid in the form of an easily assimi lated nourishment be provided. Why does the nourishment supplied in Scott's Emulsion feed the body when ordinary- food d'oes not ? .Because being scientifically emulsified it is rendered much more easily digested and the whole system gathers nourishment with much less effort. There is less tax upon , the whole digestive tract. Why is the nourishment contained in Scott's Emul sion assured proper distribution ? Because the emulsion is easily and naturally taken up and utilized by. the system. r -'Why is the good, effect of Scott's Emulsion soon noticeable ? Because the ingredients represent the very form of nourishment needed. The stomach requires a change and rest from ordinary food and hence the good effects of the emulsion arc quickly seen. Why is Scott's Emulsion a food for the whole system? . Because every part of the emulsion oil, hypophosphites and glycerine, is adapted to some special need of the body when a wasting condition exists. Why is it necessary to nourish the whole body when only one part is affected ? Because the blood, nerves, bones and muscles must all be considered and provided for in restoring waste and estab lishing uniform health.

Five hundred mothers and a sprinkling of fathers visited every department of the Young Men's Christian Association yesterday afternoon. It was Parents' day, and the parents turned out In force to watch their sons go through complicated drills in the gymnasium, demonstrate their strength and agility on different pieces of apparatus, and plunge and splash like playful young frogs in the swimming tank. They also heard some excellent ad dresses on the various phases of the work of the association by instructors and offl cers of the organization. But, while they I could listen to addresses at almost any 1 time, they could not always see the evo lutions of 60 or more boys dressed as near their natural garb as the law al lows, and therefore the physical perform ances were the principal objects of in terest. The auditorium was well filled with those who wished to hear the addresses. Directors in the two branches with which the welfare of the ,boy is naturally as sociated spoke of tbe lines In which they are engaged, and Roy Campbell, the boy's secretary, told what the association was doing for the boy. W.. J. Stanley, the director of the man ual training department, spoke- of that important branch of the work, telling what an influence the combination of mind and muscle had In developing the character of the boy. ' M. M. Rlngler, the physical instructor, told the mothers what their sons were doing In the department under his charge, and General Secretary H. W. Stone said a few words on the boy's welfare, and asked for any questions concerning any branch of the association in Its relation to boys. Many of these were forthcom ing, and they proved very suggestive, .for the replies given often answered un formed questions in the minds of others. Then the parents adjourned to the gym nasium, where Physical Instructor Rlng ler showed what he could do with a class of 60 boys. The young athletes were put through a drill that showed their train Inz and the interest they took In tho work. Their mothers were watching them and each boy was determined to "do him self proud." "Now. that's what I call good exer r-P said a. keen-eved man. as ne watched the more than 120 arms sway in unison with the instructor's. Then the boys went through a mazy march, and the onlooker's admiration was again awakened. "Just look at those leaders, how they twist and turn through the crowd with out making a mistake. Many boys would lose their heads in such a place, with their mothers watching them so closely Tht hov lQ keet nls wIt, aDoUt . . ., At the word "Prepare apparatus," tht boys, who ranged In age from 7 to 16 years, seized upon the paraphernalia, and in an instant the parallel bars, the horses, the ladder and the climbing poles were overrun with ydung forms, each one anx ious to attract the eye of "mamma." either by sliding down the poles at a speed which made the hearts of their parents Jump, or doing acrobatic stunts on the mats.

Nearly every one will admit that, as a Nation, we eat too much meat and too little of vegetables and the grains. For business men. office men and clerks, and, In fact, every one engaged in. sed entary or indoor occupations, grains, milk and vegetables are much more healthful. Only men engaged In a severe outdoor manual labor can live on a heavy meat diet and continue In health. As a general rule, meat once a day 13 sufficient for all classes of men, women and children, and grains, fruit and vege tables should constitute the bulk of food eaten. But many of the most nutritious foods are difficult of digestion, and It is o'f no use to advise brain-workers to eat largely of grains and vegetables where the diges tion Is too weak to assimuiate them prop erly. It Is always best to get tne oest results from our food that some simple and harm less digestive should be taken after meals to assist the relaxed digestive organs, and several years' experience have proven Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets to be a very safe, nleasant and effective digestive and a remedy which may be taken dally with the best results. Stuart's Dvsnensla Tablets can hardly be called a patent medicine, sis they do not act on the bowels nor any particular orcan. but onlv on the food eaten. They supply what weak stomachs lack, pepsin diastase, and by stimulating the gastric glands Increase the natural secretion of hydrochloric acid. People who make a dally practice of taking one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal are sure to have perfect digestion, which means perfect health. There Is no danger of forming an injur ious habit, as the tablets contain absolute ly nothing but natural digestives; cocaine, morphine and similar drugs have no place in a stomach medicine, and Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets are certainly the best known and the most popular of all stom ach remedies.
