DOES PORTLAND WANT IT?
1002 MEETING OP NATIONAL LIVE
STOCK: ASSOCIATION.
Effect of Middle 'Went Drouth on
Livestock Industry of Oregon
Animals on Ranges.
& J. Millis, llvestocTc agent of the O.
B. & N. Co., is striving to get the 1902
meeting of the National Livestock Asso
ciation set for Portland. It now has a
membership of several thousand -wideawake
men. The annual meetings are at
tended by 1000 to 3000 persons, and Mr.
Millis is convinced that much good would
result to Portland from having the meet
ing next year held in this city.
"For several months," said Mr. Millis
yesterday, "I have been investigating the
possibility of bringing the next annual
xneetSng of the National Livestock Asso
ciation to Portland. I have taken the
matter up with Oregon livestock people
and am assured of their undivided sup
port On a Tecent trip through the Mid
dle "West I spoke to officers of the asso
ciation, and such prominent! members as
I could reach, and I found among them a
very general willingness to consider Port
land for the next meeting place. Indeed,
many of them pledged me their support,
and expressed the opinion that the stock
men in general would like to visits tnis
region. - ai .
"Not only would the direct benefit be
creat, but the advertisement of our live
stock interests and the general resources
of the state would be etlll more beneficial.
But other places are alive to the advan
tages of having this meeting, and there
will he a lively canvass in favor of Kan
sas City, Fort Worth, Omaha, and Den
ver, each and all of which will be after it.
However. Portland got In the field so early
that it has already secured many sup
porters, and it stands -a fair chance to win
if our own citizens manifest the proper
enterprise.
"We should have liberal rate concessions
for the round trip from Missouri River
and Texas points, and there should be at
tractive side excursions from Portland.
There should be a cordial invitation from
eome such body as the Portland Chamber
of Commerce, indorsed by the Mayor, and
liait a dozen of our most prominent and
active livestock men should "be put in the
field to work for Portland, men who can
malte rood sneeches. and do effective per
sonal work. Badges should be provided 1
to make prominent the Oregon sympa
thizers. The expense of this campaign
would not be large, and the benefit? of get
ting the National Livestock Association
liere would be immense."
Corn-Belt Cattle-Feeding.
Mr. Millis spent three weeks in the
stock-feeding regions of Kansas, Nebras
ka and Minnesota, where drouth made
5tself manifest the past Summer. He
made a careful examination of the con.
ditions prevailing there, particularly with
reference to the ability of that country to
fatten livestock from the Oregon ranges.
"While the drouth did much damage Uhere,
Mr. Millis reports that the losses have
been considerably overstated.
"It is a fact,' 'said Mr. Millis yesterday,
""that early corn in Kansas and Nebraska
is a very licht crop, but the late corn
looks well, and it1 will materially relieve
the situation, while the wheat crop Is the
best ever grown throughout that district.
Merchantable corn in Kansas and Ne
braska will average less than 50 per cent
ot a full crop, and the price will undoubt
edly operate against a very large specu
lative feeding business, but the supply
of nubbins and small grain will permit
nearly the usual amount of home-feeding.
This will take care of all the hogs and
cattle now held for that purpose, the sur
plus having already been disposed of by
shipment to Dakota, Montana and other
Western ranges, one train of 13 cars hav
ing been brought as far west as Winona,
Wash. This surplus was sold off at a
sacrifice during the panic, when the
drouth was at its height When it became
known that they were worse scared than
hurt, the sellers tried to buy back the
stock at considerable advances, but they
were unsuccessful. While this movement
was not large, it so reduced the supply
in the district from which it was drawn
as to insure good, early feed for the stock
that remains.
"Business at the Tegular feeding places
in dull Indeed. Fremont has none what
ever, and is shipping out its hay. Ames
will feed no. cattle, except such as are
now on hand. St. Joe and Missouri feeds
lots are very lightly stocked. The same
is true of the other leading yards. Com
mission men are, however, still hopeful.
"Montana Is away short on cattle. Prices
have held so stiff for the past few years
that cattlemen refused to stock up. Beef
shipments to market over the Great
Northern alone show a shortage of more
than 00 cars this Fall. ,
"Now, with the price of beef steadily
rising, with the feed lots empty, with the
corn belt reserve gone, the surplus 'feed
ers shipped out, and the remainder hastily
preparing for market, and with Montana
grass 50 per cent short. I think Oregon
producers are justified in expecting high
prices on all classes of cattle after March
or April. Then our rangemen should find
opportunity, for the reaction in the East
will create a demand for animals for re
stocking, which can be met only from
Texas, New Mexico and Oregon. Mon
tana, Wyoming and Colorado will all be
in the field as "buyers.
The Sheep Situation.
"In the Middle West the sheep situation
is similar to that of cattle. The farmers
are cleaning up and the Chicago market
is glutted with everything that will make
any kind of mutton. .But the Montana
supply is like that of Oregon abnormal
and because of the inability of the sheep
men to carry their excessive flocks
through the Winter without great danger
of losses, they are offering large numbers
at 40 to 50 cents per head less than the
present Oregon figures. This, in connec
tion with the fact that Montana is nearer
the market, will compel Oregonians to
reduce their prices or to wait until Mon
tana shall have unloaded, probably the
latter.
'Screenings are so high over $12 per
ton that the St. Paul feeding lots are
now absolutely empty, whereas they usu
ally contain 150.000 to 200.000 sheep at this
season of the year. The prospective
scarcity and consequent high price of
lieef should induce latte short feeding of
sheep in those yards. If so it will help
to relieve the congestion on the sheep
ranges. Otherwise the movement from
the ranges will be deferred until Spring,
whn another crop of lambs will so crowd
the range that there will be a forced
movement to market at any price. The
Oregon ranges are now supporting l,u ,.nj
sheep more than their normal capacity."
Mr. Millis says he was able to do con
siderable missionary work Tvhile In the
East, and as a result of this he brought
back orders for large numbers of cattle
and sheep. It is expected that these may
be procured for shipment this Fall or
early in the Spring. He also says it is
surprising to see how Uttle well-informed
jpeople in the East know about Oregon
and its resources. He finds that much
good is accomplished by personal contact
and keeping constantly before them the
advantages we have to offer.
A careful estimate made by Mr. Mellis
of the number of cattle, horses and sheep
now on the Oregon ranges is as follows:
Horses 250,000
Cattle . 700,000
Sheep 3,000,000
Lambs S00.000
The Oregon wool crop for 1301 was 24,
000,000 pounds in the dirt. Allowing 70
per cent for shrinkage by cleaning leaves
the year's output 7.200,000 pounds of (
scoured -wool. This puts Oregon amoung j
the leading wool-producing states of the
Union.
TAX SALE POSTPONED.
District Attorney Gives an Editorial
Opinion, of the Larr.
The sale of property for delinquent
taxes for the years 18SS to 1895, which was
to have come off yesterday, was post
poned by Sheriff Frazier until Tuesday
next, on the advice of District Attorney
Chamberlain. The District Attorney re
fers to the act as one aparently gotten
up by tax-title sharks to take advantage
of those whose lands are to Be sold with
out more than constructive notice, and
he says it would be a good thing If the
Sheriff would continue to make these
postponements until the next Legisla
ture can have a chance to change the act
in question and avoid the possibility of
counties being looted.
Mortgage companies and others havo
been paying up these back taxes and so
long as this continues the county author
ities have no desire to push the sale. Mr.
Chamberlain, In his letter to Sheriff Fra
zier, quotes the sections of the act re
garding the sale of lands heretofore bid
in for taxes, the provisions of which
have heretofore been frequently pub
lished, and comments upon the same as
follows:
The act in question has been a fruitful source
of trouble not only to those throughout the
state whose duty It Is to attempt to carry out
its provisions, but to the taxpayers as well.
The ends sought to be attained by some of its
provisions are praiseworthy, but as a whole it
is a, piece of crazy-quilt legislation, gotten
up apparently by certain tax-title plrajtes to
assist la defrauding the counties and school
districts out of taxes Justly due and place
themselves in position to hold up and rob those'
whose lands are put up and sold wittiout more
than the constructive notice. . The suspicion
that this was the purpose of the -act is
strengthened by the fact that no one has as
yet appeared to claim its authorship. It was
doubtless bunglingly prepared to hide its real
purpose, and it is almost Impossible to intelli
gently construe it in 'so far as your duties
arc concerned, and an attempted construction
can at best be but a guess at what the courts
may hold In reference thereto.
You are required to sell the lands mentioned
in the act "in manner and form as upon sale
under execution." In cases of sales under
execution, section 203, Hill's Code, the Sheriff J
may postpone the sale not exceeding one week i
next after the day appointed, and so from time
to time for the like cause, giving notice of
every adjournment by public proclamation
made at the time. The Sheriff, for like causes,
ma yalso adjourn a sale under execution from
time to time, not exceeding 30 days beyond
the day at which the writ is made returnable,
with the consent of the plaintiff indorsed upon
the writ.
There is no question, then, but that proceed
ing in manner and form as upon sale undei
execution, the Sheriff can postpone the sale
from week to week, but the difficult question
is for what length of time can these postpone
ments be made. As stated above, there is no
writ placed in his hands. The statute itself
is his sole authority. No time for making a
return is fixed by the act, and no return Is
provided for. and hence the section of the
statute governing executions In this respect can
not be applied. It would seem, therefore, that
the Sheriff may continue to postpone from
week to week for an indefinite time, "when
he deems it for the advantage of all concerned
to postpone the sale for want of purchasers,
or other sufficient cause."
This is the safest construction to place upon
the act, and it would not be a public calamity
to continue to make these postponements until
a succeeding Legislature can have an oppor
tunity to so amend the act In question as to
avoid the possibility of the looting of counties
and taxpayers by the few distinguished gentle
men in the state who make purchases at tax
sales a specialty.
WILL TAKE UP FRUIT FARMING
Prominent Business Man, E. J.
De
Hart, "Will Go to Medford.
E. J. DeHart, who recently purchased
the fruit farm of Hon. J. H. Stewart,
one mile from the town of Medford, Jack
son County, will demove there with his
family on October 10. The place contains
80 acres, 65 of which are in fruit trees.
There are 2000 apple trees, S00 pear trees
and 200 prune trees. The trees are aU
bearing and in the bst of condition and
the land Is in the highest state of culti
vation. In making his home on this place Mr.
DeHart can hardly be said to be going
into farming to grow up with the country,
for all the hard work and waiting has
been done. The place Is In one of the
most beautiful sections of the state, with
a most delightful climate, where every
prospect pleases, and If rural felicity is
to be found in Oregon It is there.
Mr. DeHart has long been a prom
inent factor In busines circles in Port
land. He went Into business here in part
nership with John R. Foster. In 1862 he
bought out Mr. Foster's interest and con
ducted the business under the firm name
of Jacob Underbill & Co. until 1SG8. He
then went to San Francisco, where he
was In business for five years. He then
went to New York, where he stayed till
1875. In 1876 he returned here and took
charge of the business of E.J. Northrop
"Welcomed to His
CHurcH.
Rev. W. T. Kerr, who was re
turned to Central Methodist church,
Albina, by the annual conference
held at Hlllsboro, and wife, were
welcomed by the congregation and
friends at the church last night.
The edifice was thronged with
members and others from that por
tion ot the city. It was the unan
imous desire of Central church that
Mr. Kerr should be returned, and
the reception given last evening
was planned before the appoint
ments had been made, so sure
were the members that he would
be returned. The programme was
Informal. There was music and
some short talks. Refreshments
were served in the Sunday school
room. The evening was purely so
cial. Rev. D. T. Summerville, of
the Eugene circuit, and Rev. Mr.
Mulligan, of Roseburg, and other
ministers were present. Mr. Kerr
enters on his work at the Central
church for the fourth year. The
first three years witnessed effect
ive work. Mr. Kerr came to Port
land from the Illinois conference
in 1S95. He served Clark church
as iastor for two yeare, and was at Mount Tabor for a short time. Ho Is a sol
dier of the Civil War, and has an excellent record. For a number of years ho
served as Pirolic Administrator in Rock Island County, Illinois. With his own
church and with the community Mr. Kerr Is popular, and he and his wife wero
very warmly welcomed back for another year.
& Co. In 1S78 he bought out Mr. North
rop and organized the firm of Thompson
& DeHart. Later William Honeyman
became his partner and the firm of Hon
eyman & DeHart continued the business
until Mr. DeHart sold his interest to
the sons of Mr. Honeyman some 18 months
ago. Mr. DeHart has always borne a
first-class reputation as a business- man
and has hosts of warm friends who will
wish him every success in his new de
prture. Mr. -Stewart has bought 160 acres of
land just acros the road from Mr. De
Hart's place, where he proposes to make
another fruit farm.

f-
CARNIVAL TOURNAMENT ENDED
WITH INDIVIDUAL DRILL.
Private N. Ginnis Won First Prize
Battery Drill and Fireworks En
tertained Large Crowd.
The grand military tournament, which
has been the star attraction at the expo
sition for the past week, was brought to
a close last night with the competitive
individual orill of members of the Na
tional Guards of Oregon and Washington,
and the mounted artillery drill by Bat
tery A, under command of Captain H.
U. Welch. The programme was witnessed
by the largest crowd that has yet at
tended the exposition, and a conservative
estimate of the number of people present
last night; places the attendance at 6000.
In addition to the evolutions of the

soldiers, Hermann performed his perilous
ride, which has become decidedly popular
with the exposition visitors. He was gen
erously applauded last night as he rode
in front of the grand stand and dismount
ed. The fireworks held the large audience
until considerably after 10 o'clock, and
was well worth the waiting. Red and
green fire was lighted around the field,
making a brilliant setting for the shoot
ing rockets, bombs and set pieces. 'When
the picture of the late President McKln
ley was shown there was a moment's
reverent hush, and then followed an out
burst of applause. The likeness was ex
cellent, and the audience lingered until
the last flicker of light had died from the
frame. One of the unexpected set pieces
that created some applause and much
comment was the illuminated query,
"What's the matter with "Schley?" Evi
dently, the spectators were not familiar
with the different sides to the controversy,
or else didn't care particularly which Ad
miral Is In the right, for there was but a
faint ripple of applause. The three times
three and a tiger, which the soldier boys
had lavishly distributed during the mili
tary events, was not heard, nor was there
any resounding, answering reply of the fa
miliar "He's all right!"
The main events of the evening were
the military drills. The competitive indi
vidual drill was eagerly watched by the
friends and supporters of the competitors.
The judges were: Colonel James Jackson,
U. S. A., retired; Major Frank Eastman,
Twenty-eighth United States Infantry;
.and First Lieutenant Harry Mitchell,
United States Artillery Corps. The com
mands were given by-Lieutenant-Colonel
R. G. Jubltz, Third Regiment, Oregon Na-

tlonal Guard. There were 30 men entered
for the .drill, representing all the Portland
companies, and the following out-of-town
organizations: Companies B and D, First
Regiment, Washington National Guard;
Company A, Fourth Regiment, Oregon
National Guard, Eugene; Company D,
Fourth Regiment, Oregon National Guard,
Woodburn.
The drill was thorough, and embraced
all the movements" In the school for sol
diers. The bayonet drill appealecL,to the
spectators, and their appreciation was
manifested by frequent applause. The
men were on the field over an hour, and
at the conclusion the following winners
were announced by Colonel James Jack
son: First prize, ?30 Private N. Ginnis, Com
pany B, Third Regiment. O. N. G., Portland.
Second prize, $20 Private Fred W. Smith,

the Naval Battalion that .was on the
field cheered the winners, and the spec
tators approved the findings gt the judges
with a noisy expression. Following the
individual drill, Battery A rode on to the
field, entering at the side. Then came
a- splendid drill that was all the more
creditable because the members of the
battery have had but a short time to get
into shape. The heavy guns and lighter
Gatllngs were handled wjth precision, and
the different movements executed with
rapidity and in good order. It was ex
pected that several rounds of blank am
munition' would be fired, but, out of con
sideration for the windows in the neigh
borhood, this feature of the drill was
omitted. At the conclusion of the drill
Hermann made his daring ride, after
which the battery departed.
The success of the tournament has dem
onstrated the popularity that would at
tend the Institution of an annual event
for the military of the Northwest. The
visiting soldiers are enthusiastic over the"
plans of several Portland officers to en
deavor to arrange for a tournament each
year. The matter will probably be brought
to the attention of the military board
at its next meeting, and already several
members have expressed their approval

of the plan. As outlined, there will be
cash prizes and a trophy cup, the latter
to go to the winning team, and, following
the usual custom, to become the absolute
property of any team winning It three
years in succession. There can be no
doubt but that the military attractions
have done much towards bringing the
crowds to the carnival during the week
past. Credit for the arrangements and
for the features presented is due to the
military committee, which was composed
of the following officers: Adjutant-General
C. U. Gantenbeln, chairman; Lleuten-ant-Gommander
R. E. Davis, of the Naval
Battalion, and Captain L. H. Knapp,
Quartermaster, Third Regiment, Oregon
National Guard.
All of the companies that participated
In the events this year are anxious to re
turn. The officers believe- that an annual
tournament would awaken an Increased
enthusiasm In the National Guard, stim
ulate the men with a desire for drilling,
and create a company pride that will pro
duce beneficial results. Several companies
from other cities outside of Portland made
application to come to the carnival tour
nament, tut the selections were neces
sarily limited, owing to the 'amount of
money for expenses that was available
to the military committee.

COFFEE FOR MOTHERS.
The Kind That Nourishes and Sup
plies Food for Mother and Child.
"My husband has been unable to drink
coffee for several years, so we were very
glad to give Postum Food Coffee a trial,
and when we understood that by long
boiling It would bring out the delicious
flavor, we have -been highly pleased
with it.
"It 1& one of the finest things for nursing
mothers that I have ever seen. It keeps
up the mother's strength and Increases
the supply of nourishment for the child
if partaken of freely. I drank it between
meals instead of water and found it most
beneficial.
"Our 5-year-old boy has been very deli
cate since birth, and has developed slowly.
He was white and bloodless. I began to
give him Postum freely, and you would
be surprised at the change. When any
person remarks about the great Improve
ment, we never fall to tell them that we
attribute his gain in strength and general
health -to the free use of Postum Food
Coffee, and this has led many friends to
use it for themselves and children.
"I have always cautioned friends to
whom I have spoken about Postum, to fol
low directions In making it, for unless it
is boiled 15 or 20 minutes It Is quite taste
less. On the other hand, when properly
made, It Is very delicious. I want to thank
you for the benefits we have derived from
the use of your Postum Coffee." Mrs. W.
