5 HAS BEST CHANGE Every Bottle Warranted Portland May Secure Location of Packing-House. THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 1903. MUST BE PLENTY OF STOCK Unless Cuttle Supply Is Saficlent Swift & Co. Will Not Locate on the Pacific Coast Proposed Plant to Cost 750,0O0. Portland, so tar, stands the beat chance out of three cities to secure the location ot a branch establishment ot Swift & Co.'s Chicago packing-house. Louis F. Swift has visited Portland. Seattle and Tacoma, and leaves tor the East tonight. Mr. Swift considers that there la more livestock raised In the country tributary to Portland than In that tributary to the Puget Sound cities. Swift & Co. are anxious to locate on the Pacific Coast, but will not do so unless they And a sufficient livestock supply at hand. SEATTLE, "Wash.. March 12. (Special.) In Portland, Seattle or Tacoma, with the chances in the order the cities are named, the Chicago packing-houses of Swift & Co. will establish a plant this year. Louis F. Swift, manager of the proislon department of the big concern, is not quite so positive in his statement of intentions, but it is learned on the best authority that before he started for the West the company had fully determined to enter largely into the -meat trade of the Pacific Coast, Alaska and the Orient. Only the question of a location remains to be settled, and to settle this is the purpose of Mr. Swift's excursion. From Portland Mr. Swift came to Seat tle, arriving yesterday. Today he was driven about the city, but spent most of the time in the tide-flat section. This morning over an hour was put in at the local packing-house of Frye, Bruhn & Co. This evening Mr. Swift went to Ta coma. Tomorrow he leaves that city for Chicago direct. While here Mr. Swift talked freely, but he pressed constantly forward the idea that he is merely reconnoltering. On-one point, however, he is emphatic: "We will not establish a large plant in Ihe Northwest," he said today, "if we find we will have to ship such stock from the East to be slaughtered." In the course of an Interview he said: "In establishing a packing-house there are two factors of prime importance first, the amount of livestock immediately available and the prospects for a con tinuous and increasing supply, and, sec ond, the facilities. Other considerations are of local character, such as a site for the plant, the labor supply and others. "I am Informed that much more stock is raised in the country tributary to Port land than in that tributary to Seattle or Tacoma. At the ;same time, there is no reason that I know of why as much stock should not be raised in "Washing ton as in Oregon, and a packing plant that would give a steady market for all stock that could be offered would cer tainly prove an Incentive to stockraising. "The plant -we have in mind will cost about ?750,000, and its equipment will be modern In every respect. "We are at pres ent handling a considerable share of Alaska, Philippine and Oriental trade through Coast agencies from our Eastern houses, but the Northwest plant, if es tablished, will greatly increase this busi ness. We recognize the advantages of coming to the Coast, and are perfectly -willing to come if we can have reason able assurance that there will be enough stock raised to keep a packing plant going after it is built. It would never do to come out here, build the plant and then have to ship livestock across the country to keep it going. That Is where the whole matter hinges, and it Is some thing that is within the control of the people themselves. If they want the plant it is within their power to get it." It Is understood here that Charles Frye, f now sole proprietor of the Frye-Bruhn plant, who met Mr. Swift in Portland yes terday, has, at the latter's request, fixed a price for his holdings here. Neither party would discuss the matter after Mr. Swift's visit to the local plant today, but Mr. Swift is understood to have privately stated that his people -would unquestion ably prefer to install an entirely new plant.

Portland Attorneys to Appear on Both Sides Cases May Go Over Until Next Term. BAKER CITY, March 12. (Special.) The cases of the State vs. Messrs. Hill and Llvermore, the manager and editor of the Herald, ol this city, who were indicted for criminal libel by the grand jury recently, will probably not come on for trial this term of court. Able counsel from Port land has been employed on both sides of the case. District Attorney White, being an Interested party In that he is one of the parties whom the Herald Is accused of libeling, will not prosecute the case. The prosecution will be conducted by Attorney Greene, of Portland, while the defense will be represented by Senator McGinn, of Portland, and Emmlt Calllhan, of this city. So far there has been nothing done in the case on the part of the defense save to move the court for an order to allow the attorneys for the defense to examine the report of the expert accountants em ployed by the County Court, to expert the books of the county officers, also to ex amine Sheriff Huntington's official bond and such of the county records as they may wish to see. The order granting the defense the privilege -asked for has no, been granted as yet, but it will be granted as soon as Judge Eakln comes to town and opens court, which is now in recess pend ing the trial of the Armstrong murder case, which Is set for March 23. The Judge Is expected up from Union tomorrow or next day, to attend to such matters on the law and motion calendar as may require his attention. It Is understood that the defendants In this libel case are anxious to have the case disposed of at an early date, and it is possible that they may Insist on a trial .immediately after the Armstrong case is disposed of. In that event the matter may be disposed of this term of court, as the defendants can probably force a trial if they insist at this term of court While there are 12 Indictments, they -will prob ably all be tried at once or the verdict in one case will probably dispose of all the rest, for the reason that practically the same state of facts obtain In all of the cases. The trial of these cases will attract con siderable attention, owing to the promi nence of the people Interested, and the fact that it Is the first case of the kind that has come up in the courts of this county for many years. MYSTERY AT ASHLAND. Clothing of Alaskan Miner Fosnd In Obscure Ravine. ASHLAND, Or., March 12. (Special.) Officers at Ashland are much mystified over the sensational find of a man's be longings in an obscure ravine about two miles north of town, and arc looking for clews of possible murder or suicide. The clothing, while showing the effects of some service, la whole and in a good state of preservation. It includes an Alaskan mantle or overgarment with fur-lined headpiece; fur-lined cap, half new Fe dora bat red flannel undershirt and draw ers nearly new, woolen shirt blue over alls, heavy woolen sweater, pair of Alaska moccasins, three or four handker chiefs and minor apparel and personal be longings. There had been a clear attempt to re move possible identification of the per sonal effects, which included some papers and memoranda and photographs, from which names were erased or torn, but an Alaska mining lease, .which was in some manner overlooked, revealed the probable name of the owner of the outfit as Charles H. McCartney. This name is entirely unknown here. There were numerous evidences that the owner of the belongings had been an Alaska miner for several years past Two of the photographs discovered were taken, one in Anna. 111., and one at Wichita, Kan. Beyond this and the names of Henry Gumm, agent and Fred Buschorn, lessor, found on the mining lease to prop erty on Osburn Creek, near Nome City, Alaska, above referred to, there was nothing by which the mystery may be traced out Baker City Notes.

Knights of the Green Cloth Prepar ing for the New Law. SPOKANE, Wash., March 12. (Special.) The first effects of the new gambling law have been felt in this city, where one big gambling-house has already closed Its doors, others are reducing the number of men employed and all are preparing to seek new fields as soon as the law is ef fective, or perhaps sooner. The O. K. gambling-house, on Main street which has been running 14 games, closed last night The proprietors had some small disagreement, and knowing jjfcfclF the new law would soon end operations anyhow, they concluded to close up shop. The Owl, the largest gambling-house in the state outside of Seattle, has dis charged ten of its dealers and a number of other attaches and will continue to cut down, as play for some unknown reason, but presumably caused by the new law, has steadily been growing lighter. From restaurants, stores and other places where the gamblers are wont to spend considerable money comes the re port that nearly all the men are saving a little stake with which to get out of town when the 90-day limit is reached. There is no talk of testing the law here, and every game "will be closed. There are five big houses still running games and employing about 200 men. SURVEY CONTRACT LET.
