SEES NEED FOR RESERVES JCuthless Destruction of Forests Means Devastating Spring Floods. Was Delegate to Gover nors' Convention. . SALEM. Or., July 6. ( Special.) "I am thoroughly convinced of the importance of measures for the protection of our timber and waterways. said Chief Justice Bean today, upon his return from the Kast. where he represented Oregon at the con ference of states upon the subject of conservation of natural resources. "Orftgon is destined to be one of the wealthiest states in the Linion. provided it does not pursue a policy of wasteful ness and neglect," he continued. "After traveling through the East, observing the conditions that exist there and listening to the story of the experience of the old sections of the country, one cannot help bring impressed with the seriousness of the problem that confronts us. This Is a new and comparatively undeveloped state. We are proud of our immense for ests and our water powers. Yet it is readily apparent that If we encourage de velopment at the sacrifice of our forests we shall eventually have neither timber supply nor water power, but shall suffer the evils of Spring floods sumilar to those which spread devastation and ruin through the valleys of the Ohio and other streams of the East. Converted to Reserve Policy. "t'ntll recently I entertained some doubts as to the real need of forest re serves. . I am now finally convinced that the creation 01 forest reserves was one of the most Important events In the history of this state. The East is today bewail ing the loss of Its timber resources. When trees were plentiful they were cut and used wastefully. There was no effort to protect the younger growth or to en courage reforestation. As a consequence the hillB and mountains that formerly bore heavy forests are now bare. Down the unprotected slopes the water from rapidly melting snow pushes in torrents, overflowing river banks, destroying farms, and flooding cities. The people did not realize until too late what would be the consequences of the policy they were per suing. "The same experience awaits us if we follow a similar course. The deep snow in our mountains Is protected by heavy forests and it nfelts slowly. As it melts the water is held by the roots, the moss end the porous soil. It finds Its way grad ually to the lower streams and as a con sequence we have slight Spring freshets and a fairly good flow of water at all seasons. I,et our forests be removed and all this will he changed. Then we shall have overflowing rivers In the Spring and dry river beds In the Summer. State Xeeds Water Laws. "All the people of the state have an Interest In preventing here a repetition of the experience of the East. We must see that only mature timber Is cut. that young trees are permitted to grow and that burned-over aeras are protected so that new forests may spring up. By careful adherence to such a policy we shall always have timber and water power. "1 am impressed, also, with the need of legislation regulating the acquirement and enjoyment of the right to use water power. Laws should be enacted without delay securing to the state the control of water powers and vesting in the state authority to derive a revenue from the use of water for power development pur poses." Speaking generally of his trip to the East. Judge Bean said that so far as he could observe business conditions seemed to be good and yet he heard many people remark that there were lots of men out of work. He also observed many empty and apparently Idle boxcars along tha lines over which he traveled. CROWD SEES HIM CRACK SAFE Expert Works Two Hours Before Gaze of Oregon City Throng. . OREGON CITY.

SPECULATE ON PITCHERS Manager McCredle Will Give Out Xo Ln formation Regarding Those He Is Dickering For Groom and Willis in Boxes Likely. With six points separating them from the Los Angeles present time leaders of the Pacific Coast League, the Portland ball-tossers will open a four-weeks stretch at home commencing "with a six game series with the San Francisco club this afternoon. Walter McCredie and his somewhat crippled bunch will arrive in Portland this morning, providing of course that the Espee is gracious enough to bring the train through without any unnecessary delays, and this afternoon the husky swat artists will discard their blue road uniforms for the white home lot costumes, and endeavor to cheer the hearts of their, enthusiastic admirers by trouncing the Seals most roundly. The task of administering severe beat ings to the San Francisco club Is by no means assured, but once returned to their own bailiwick, the Portland boys can be depended upon to give the invaders a rousing battle, for the diamond suprem acy. With the utmost joy the fans recol lect the last visit of the Seals, for on that memorable occasion Portland rose up and trimmed Danny Long's braves ln five of the seven games played. Four of these battles went several extra innings, but the long wait was more than pleasing to Fandom because victory perched on the homo banner ln each instance. Considerable speculation Is being In dulged in by the. fans over the probability of one or more new slab artists making their appearance before tho loyal Port land baseball cranks. One of these men, Pitcher Graney, formerly with Cleveland and Columbus, is expected to report in Portland by Friday of this week at the latest. However, this Is contingent on his having left Columbus for Portland on Saturday or Sunday, but, as far as known here, his departure has not bsen heralded to McCredle. ' This afternoon's battle between the home team and the Seals will start at the usual week-day hour, and the oppos ing twirlers will probably be Bobby Groom and Ralph Willis. Groom per formed so well on the Fourth of July that the local fans anticipate a similar performance today. . The San Francisco team is coming North without the services of Outfielder Henderson, whom Danny Long secured from Winnipeg ln exchange for Larry Piper, for the new man proved a hitless wonder when pitted against the clever twirlers of this league; In place of Hen derson, Curtis Is to be played regularly until some new talent expected from the East joins the Seal brigade. San Francisco is reported to have added three new players who will join Its lineup ln the near future, and these men are said to be the San Francisco end of a bargain for the services of Roily Zeider, who is to play out the rest of this season with Danny Long. Just which American or National League club has secured Zeider has not been announced, and in soma quarters of the Bay City, the deal has been denied. Nevertheless. Zeider is too valuable a player to be left subject to the usual draft next October, and it is quite likely that some deal has been made whereby the San Francisco club will profit more than in permitting his services to be annexed in that manner. Manager McCredle will be besieged on all sides today, for the anxious fans de sire to know the identity of his new pitchers, but unless he has the men safely landed, and on the way. it Is doubtful if Mac will gratify their desires. Umpire Jack O'Connell returns with the teams, and at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon will start them off on the second home series of the season. The fans will be out in rorce today, so get in the game and follow the crowds to Vaughn street. PORTLAND MAN RE-ELECTED Wilbur Heads North Pacific Oars men lor Tenth Consecutive Year.

Suggests What the Plant on the Peninsula The Union Meat Company Is to Mean to Portland. (Extracts from "Wanted Two Million Hogs," by Forrest Crissey. An article that Here before me was a man in the vigor of life who was about to tell me, from his own recollection, of the days when- this Immense Industrial structure (Chicago Packing Town) did not even exist as a dream in the mind of man. Here was a huge industrial entity reach ing its tentacles of trade literally to the "ut termost parts of the earth" a single creature of material activity, which, more than any other one thing, has lifted Chicago from a sprawling village of 20,030 inhabitants to the second city of the continent. "Yes," reflectively observed Mr. Ward, as he wheeled his chair about, "It's hard to believe that all this great thing outside here has sprung up since I began to earn my way ln the world. But it's a fact. All you have to do is to see It and hear It to know that it's one of the biggest and llvest things on earth. ..... They (Chicagoans) don't realize that the plain truth of the matter is that the yards and the packing-houses are what have made Chlemsro, and done a mlgfety quick iob of tfce makiacl It's only by grasping what the animal Industry has accomplished in a few years for Chicago that any other city can possibly realise what the establishment of great packing plants and sell ing yards are bound to mean to it. Can you name a single place where a practical packing outfit has ever started up a plant on a modern line and on a modern scale that the business hasn't grown beyond all calculation and the olty expanded like dried apples ln hot water? Look at Omaha, Kansas City, Fort Worth. St Joe. and all the rest of 'em! Packing plants are the sure city-builders, and no mistake!" "And still yon can recall the time when the packing industry was unheard of and the cat tle business was " "On a haud-to-mouth basis," Interrupted the commission man. "Certainly I can recall It Fact is. It seems only yesterday when I sat in the old home schoolhouse, back on the Federal road, in Ohio, and watched drove after drove of cattle and hogs and sheep being tirlven past to Philadelphia and the other Eastern markets. And they came from Illinois and away West, too! Generally a man walked ahead and led a steer by a halter and the rest followed'. "At the rear would ride two or three men, depending on the size of the drove. "This sort of thing was going on all over the country, and much of the stock was liter ally fattened on the way. I recall one rich sec tion of pasturage not so very far from my boy hood home where thousands of animals from the West were halted over the whole season and put into condition for the 'home stretch' on to the final market. "But there wasn't any market ln the sense, in which there is today. The drover who had brought his stock one hundred, two hundred, three hundred, five hundred or even a thousand miles wac Just as likely to find the market where he had expected to sell so glutted that he could only dispose of his anlmal3 at a ruinous price. Of course the expedient was open to him of moving on to the next nearest big market or taking his animals a little back into the coun try, to good pasturage, and keeping them there until he could peddle "them out at something like a living price. If this was done once ft was done a thousand times! Those were the days when the livestock business was about as uncertain as playing the races. Today it's the most certain and even business I know of and what has made the difference? The pack ing slants! A free ' and open market every day Jn the year for cash! ..... "Agaln. there was the question of getting your money after the sale was made. It Was all a question of individual credit then and the seller had to make the credit for himself and take his chances. Oh! the world has moved on several pegs since then, and now cattle, hogs and sheep, are as good as cash. And all the credit Is due to' the packers. . . . . That's what took the meat trade from a perishable, block-to-mouth basis and made lta storage buslnees."a keeping business, a surplus-carrying business. "The community that can attract the activi ties of any of the big packers and get a modern plant located in its territory is doing more for Itself than It can well realize." When this veteran of the stockyards had fin ished. I turned to the man who enjoys the dis tinction, at the yards, of having been closer to the late Gustavus F. Swift than any other man now living, and said: "Mr. Leavitt, yon don't think that Mr. Louis Swift and his associates of the Union Meat Com pany are overshooting the mark ln making such an immense outlay for a big packing plant at Portland, Oregon?" "That isn't a thing for me to discuss and I decline to discuss it," he answered, "but of course I don't think anything of the kind. In some regions where plants are established the animal Industry Is more flrmljr rooted and more widely developed than In others but depend upon It the merits of any region have been sifted to the bottom and the horoscope of its Industrial future cast with a far-seeing eye before the huge Initial Investment Involved ln a modern packing plant Is decided upon! And as to tho big Portland enterprise, of course that is not a new proposition. It has been tried out for several years, and has long since passed the experimental stage. However, I'm not dis cussing Portland: all I want to do Is to em phasise the point that no leader In an Industry as solid, as highly organised and as conserva tively conducted as the packing business Is going to go Into an enterprise involving the expenditure of millions unless the situation ab solutely and completely justifies It." To complete the triangle of my interview, I went to the office of Lou1s F. Swift, president of Swift tc Co., who Is vitally interested ln tha Union Meat Company. ."Yes," admitted Mr. Swift, "It is true that the Union Meat Company Is going to erect a big modern packing plant on the extensive acre age secured near Portland, at the intersection of the North Bank Road and the line of the Oregon Railroad A Navigation Company, on the Peninsula. This we regard as an Ideal location. "Tha Union Meat Company has for some years had abattoirs and yards at Troutdale, about twenty miles from Portland. The business done by this plant has been substantial and quite satisfactory under the existing conditions. In fact, the company has become one of the largest slaughterers on the Pacific Coast. Last year they slaughtered at the Troutdale plant about BO. 000 cattle, 50,000 hogs and 75,000 sheep, be sides operating factories for the manufacture of the various by-products, including glue and commercial wool. "Of course it Is expected that this volume of business will be greatly exceeded by that of the new plant. In fact. It seems only natural and reasonable to expect that the else of last year's business will prove to be only a well defined 'indication' of the livestock industry of. that North Pacific region when carefully devel oped undur really favorable circumstances and adequate conditions and facilities. "The rapid strides in packing-house construc tion which have taken place In late years, to the end of meeting the highest standards ln sanitation, have Influenced us quite as much as other considerations ln a decision ' to abandon the old plant and put up a new one which shall be as Ideal ln its construction and all Its ap pointments as It Is ln Its location. "Again, I oonfees to the feeling that there Is not a more alert, progressive and hustling people on the face of the earth than this peo ple of the Pacific Coast, and that the best of anything is none too good for them.. Anything short of the best is not up to the' standard which they have set for themselves and which they maintain with rare energy and fidelity. This is the kind of people which inspires faith on the part of a nonresident who Is responsible for the Investment or the non-Investment of large sums ln an enterprise which means much to them as well as to Its owners and manage ment. "Where there Is so much alertness, so much energy, so much acumen and keen business ap plication, there Is little likelihood that any ma terial opportunity Is going to escape its nor mal development or pass unrecognized. Again, where this Is the spirit, one feels that there - Is a sense of loyalty and steadfastness which will stand the test ln a time of trial. All these considerations go to make up the impression that the people of the Pacific Coast will rise to meet any opportunity. This Is a most im portant consideration ln this particular case, for the reason that to bring this Industry up to the standard to which we are building will require a certain change ln the industrial habits and practices of the people, a certain co-operation without which the measure of expansion and success at which we are aiming can scarce ly be attained. "For example, I dare say that the State of Oregon is at present compelled bo bring from every Oregonian will want to read.) the Eastern states over seventy-five per cent of the pork products consumed by Its people while Oregon itself abounds In good farming, agricultural country. There Is no reason in the world why. with a guarantee of the big open market and steady demand for pork products by the existence of the new packing plant, tho farmers of Oregon should not raise all. ' and more than all, tha hogs used ln their state. "And this leads me to place emphasis on an expression which I have Just used: mm epea market. Arrangements have been made with the preser.t owners of the Portland Union Stock Yards to establish a public livestock market near the packing-house location. What Is the ' result of this? Every farmer of that region who wishes to raise livestock can do so ln the absolute certainty that he will nnd a cash mar ket right at home for his stock any day he chooses to ship It. He can always get the full market value for his offerings, any and every day ln the year. This opportunity has never before occurred in that territory. "The meaning and possibilities of the Alaska trade are Just fceglniilms; to . me mm derstood; and as for the Oriental trade kave not yet begposi to scratch the surface of It I So, I rm n Bwe Ha Immense future for this liafllc which. . has marvelous rapacities of expansion. It Is one of those propositions where the possibilities are so great that it is difficult to say: 'It will go thus far and no farther.' Certainly we have every reason to believe that the trade of this gateway to tho Orient and to Alaska Is bound to be large and progressive. Enough is already known about it to demonstrate that the pro gressive packers can no longer afford to haul stuff from Eastern plants; it must be handled on the Pacific Coast to come within the lines of economy and sound business practice." The enterprise, on the ground, will be ln charge of C. C. Colt, who Is president of tho Union Meat Company, Whatethe livestock, packing and allied Indus tries have done for Chicago will neve,r be told ln specific figures. To attempt It would be like trying to figure out what sun and rain have done for the wheat crops of the Dakotas. But there are some figures whloh are certaily Il luminating and intensely suggestive to those who read between the lines when the characters used are numerals. The sum paid by these allied Chicago Industries in a year ln wasts and sal aries Is twenty-five millions of dollars. This helps some to see what the animal Industries have done for Chicago, doesn't It? And this is only a beginning! There Is no way of estimating how vast a sum'they expend eVery year for materials of every sort. Take a view of the question from another angle: how about the trade, the money which a great . livestock and packing center brings to a city. Well, fully five hundred thousand per sons visit the Chicago stockyards every year. Probably the number " is really greater than this, for it Is a matter of record that four hun dred thousand attend the great National Live stock Exposition. How much do these visitors spend while in Chicago? That isn't an easy question to answer in a positive way. But those who have come in contact with these visitors every year and know them "right down to the ground" are able to make a very shrewd and reasonable estimate of what that amount must be. Such an estimate was figured out for me ln the office of the president of the Union Stock Yards & Transit Company and the amount is twenty-live million dollars. At first this seems Impossible. "It's only fifty dollars apiece." was the quiet suggestion. "Of course, many come ln who do . not spend more than ten dollars but there are comparatively few who go below that figure. On the other hand, it should be remembered that a very great number of these visitors are stockmen who come in with carloads and even trainloads of stock, for which they receive the cash. "In many cases the stay in the city covers two or three weeks, for the stockman and his family. All these considerations go to make an average expenditure of fifty dollars a visitor look decidedly reasonable. However, you may cut the total of 125,000,100 down to 115,000,000 and still have about as big a sum as the aver age man can appreciate." It certainly does look as If a big packing and livestock Industry Is a good thing for the city and the territory which Is chosen as its location! team representing the gentlemen of Phila delphia began the first game of their tour here today. At the end of the first Inning the scores were: South Wales 192 runs; gentlemen of Philadelphia 108 runs. GIVES UP TRIP TO DALLAS Governor Kept at Capital Because of Absence of Secretary Benson. SALEM. Or.. July 6. (Special.) Gover nor Chamberlain has abandoned his in tention to go to Dallas, Tex., to attend the session of the Grand Lodge of Elks. Secretary of State Benson has been called to California on business, and Governor Chamberlain does not think It proper that both he and the Secretary should be ab sent from the state at the- same time. The question has never been settled whether absence of the Governor consti tutes a disability to perform his official duties, but as a matter of precaution, care has always been taken that both the Governor and Secretary shall not be out of the state at the same time, for it is desired that some one be at the Capital ready to sign papers in case of an im portant emergency. ymptffigs enna Cleanses thpSvstm FWnnV.
