NO PACKING-HOUSES ARE HERE With Better Yard Facilities and Im proved Shipping: Conditions, Pro ducer "Would Be "Vastly Benefited. D. W. Ralston, the leading livestock man of Gilliam County, was in Portland yesterday, and he was not slow to con firm In all respects the statement of the lh'estock market conditions, and the ne cessity for better yard facilities and packing-houses In Portland that was presented in The Oregonlan Thursday. He also In timated that It would be possible to inl CrrttA f..Cr?K0N prove shipping conditions to the Coast from the interior. "Up there at Mayville. we are 53 miles from the nearest railroad point, Arling ton," said he. "We can't drive fat hogs to market, but have to haul them as we would wheat; but one load of hogs rep resents a good many loads of wheat. Now, with prices as they are today, we ship our fat hogs out to market and Import our ham, bacon and lard. And It costs more than 51 each to gee the. hogs to the railroad and freight on the hog products in is 40 cents a hundred from the railroad. We can market our hogs at a good profit in Omaha and Kansas City today, and buy them back in the form of hams, ba con and lard after the packers and the railroads and the freighters have made their profits all along the line." Mr. Ralston did not make this statement for the purpose of reflecting on the local market, for a good market at Portland would not change the conditions at May vllle materially. Producers there would continue to sell the live hogs and buy the cured products. But they would get more for their hogs. "Large packing-houses in Portland would create a steady demand for hogs, and price would be kept up about to the Eastern figures," continued Mr. Ralston. "Now the Portland price Is a cent and a half or more below that of the Eastern markets, and the Pacific Northwest is governed by the Portland quotations. We could well afford to ship our hogs East now for the difference in prices, but for the fact that hogs should go East by the tralnload, and it Is a hard matter to as semble so many at one place at one time. We can get two or three carloads to gether for one shipment, and the Coast market takes them. It takes 1500 hogs to load a train for the East, and the North west has not yet got to producing the hogs In sufficient numbers to make such shipments often. The Coast buyers take them in small quantities, and that Is why hogs go to this market in the face of the higher price in the East. "Local practice is against building up the hog business In several particulars. When our hogs go East they are unloaded into commodious yards and fed and wat ered before weighing. InPortland the animals are weighed direct from the cars, though they have been anywhere from 12 to 26 hours In transit without food or water. The average difference in weight by reason of this practice is about eight pounds per hog. Then we are permitted to ship in uouble-decked cars when we send hogs East from Arlington, and each car is thus made to accommodate 150 hogs. For west-bound shipments the rail road company will not permit the use of double-decked cars, and we are able to get no more than SO hogs In a car. In both cases freight charges are by the carload, and presumably the charge would be no greater for a do.uble-decked car than for a single-decker, though we could et nearly twice as many animals In the double-decker. "We need packing-houses that will use all the home-grown animals and supply the local demand for pork products. I understand a packing-house wants to he guaranteed 1000 a day be'fore coming to this field, and one I knew of wanted 2000 a day. I don't know how near that num ber would be supplied at once, but I do know that If local market conditions were what they should be and they will only be so through the operation of large pack ing establishments in this country it would be but a little time before all the hogs desired would be supplied. The hog business Is increasing fast under present conditions. It would grow much faster under the stimulus of a more regular market. "As matters stand everything Is In favor of Portland packing-houses. The practice of weighing direct from the cars without feeding means 50 cents or more on each hog in favor of the Portland packer, in comparison with the Eastern packer. The Portland packer pays less freight on the hogs, and less on the cured product to the Northwest market. It pays to market our wheat through the hogs, particularly In sections remote from the railroad. 1 am constantly buying and fattening hogs for market, and I know the country could in a very few months meet nlmost any demand for hogs that should he made upon it.. There is good profit in hograis lng and fattening, and I can think of no other Industry that would do so much for everybody connected with It as would the hog industry when adequate facilities are provided here for it. Portland should make a stir in this matter." Ensrcne Brevities. EUGENE. July 18. Victor L. Holt, of Eugene, has been eTected principal of the public schools at Douglas City, Alaska, and W. B.

A call for a special meeting of the Common Council, to be held Tuesday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, was Issued by Mayor "Williams yesterday morning, and a notice was sent to each member of they, Council. The principal matter to be con sidered, at the meeting will be the re quest of the Board of Fire Commission ers for an appropriation of !000 for the purchase of horses and hose. As the general fund does not contain very much money, the Council will not be able to grant the request, but it will probably appropriate -$2000 for the relief of the de partment. The Sharkey ordinances ' for the im provement of Hawthorne avenpe, from East Water to East First street, will also be taken up, and it Is likely that proceedings will be authorized to compel the property-owners to make the Improvement. The Council does not wish to make any appropriation for the road way, as a majority of the members think that any work to be done should be done by the abutting property-owners. A third matter will be the consideration of an ordinance permitting the erection of a monument to the memory of deceased Oregon volunteers in the center of Sixth street, between Morrison and Yamhill. The city will be asked to donate six feet of roadway on each side of the monu- menu This will reduce the width of the sidewalks seven feet, .and will give a driveway of V& feet on either side. The loss to the sidewalks will not be noticed, for they are 14 feet in width, and the portions to be removed will not exceed 40 or 50 feet. DAILY CITY STATISTICS. Marriage Licenses.

"Few women are overjoyed to find that their "hair Is turning gray," said a fashion able hair dresser, "yet once it starts to turn most of them would rather have it all gray than remain in the Intermediate state of being neither one thing nor the other. White hair with a youthful face is considered by many people to be very otohlne'. and men csDeclalh are regarded as being particularly handsome with pre- j maturely gray hair. Apropos of this I will let you into a little secret, a simple pro cess of turning the hair white. It is noth ing more or less than to use a solution of ordinary washing blue, the kind used in the laundry. It must not be too strong and should be liberally diluted with water.

PROMINENT MAZAMAS AS SEEN IN Ilii . if 11 VO THE. SUCCES vr hc uuu One of the, most interesting and amusing programmes that has been given was the minstrel show In the auditorium this evening. At the ministerial meeting this morning Rev. Robert McLean, of the Third Pres byterian Church, of Portland, gave a can fully prepared speech on "Some Things In. Our Theology in Need of Special Empha sis." Dr. McLean's remarks were of ex ceptional Interest to those present. As this was the last of the round-table se- rlcs, a large audience was present. Dr. Blackburn presided at the exercises this afternoon. The first number on the programme "was a solo, entitled "Merrily I Roam," which was fcung in a very pleasln'g manner by Miss Gertrude Holmes. The audience was so well pleased that Miss Hojmes and Professor Boyer responded to the ap plause with a duct. "When We Arc Mar ried," a selection from the "Belle of New York." Horror of Rnnlnn Prisons. Colonel John SobleskI gave another or his delightful lectures. The subject was ''Russian Prisons and Siberian Exile. He vividly described the horrors of the Rus sian prison, and told of the circumstances which made these Institutions what they are. He told the story of the only man wno ha(j escaped from Siberia.

The Y. M. C. A. programme given this evening proved to be the most entertain ing one yet given during the assembly.

Professor RJngler acted as Interlocutor f and Fred Jones. Sidney Beck, L. Davis and A. Hurlburt as end men. Fred Jones sang "Money Talks" in a pleasing manner and Tas heartily encored. Sidney Beck's "Phrenologist Coon" made a decided hit, and the tenor solos by Guy Long and A. F. Hurlburt were entertaining. The Jokes and local hits of the end men were particularly good, and would have done creait to professionals. The Pickaninny quartet was heartily received, and re sponded to several encores. The baton swinging by Harry Livingstone and Edgar Shocnif-y, and the club-swinging by H. E. Wilson were given in such an artistic and graceful way as to elicit much applause from the audience. Fred Jones and Sid ney Beck, of amateur fame, made a great bit in their comedy sketch, their funny sayings keeping the crowd in an uproar. The programme concluded with a fancy JIvl drill given by 1G young women of Pro fessor Rlngler's claps, and was the feature of the evening. The girls were attired in white duck suits, and carried long wreaths of green ivy and smilax. The girls marched time and step, showing their careful training for the event. Taking the' programme as a whole it was one of the most enjoyable of the Chautauqua sessions. Miss Susan Jones, of Port land, acted as accompanist for the even ing. ' Lnst Dny's Programme.

Nobody knows the exact age of the old tree, which has guarded for so many years the busement entrance to the building, scelnc Tammany and reform go in and out. Gardener Laughlln says It was one.) of the trees In the old common, and he be lieves that It Is at least lio years old. Mayors of all kinds and political stripes it has seen, from Tory ones to Tammany oneE. Towering above the building with its upper branches extending over the chamber now occupied by the Board of Aldermen, Its leaves have shaken with the eloquence of the old Knickerbocker fath ers, and with the Impassioned oratory of Alderman 'Bridges today. After acting as an eavesdropper on the City Fathers for generations, it might be able to tell seme Interesting tales if only it could speak. The ga.es which the asphalt pavement has confined about its roots, and not the blasts of "Brooklyn" Bridges, have killed the tree, according to the gardener. For a long time it has been slowly dying. It stood C5 feet high, and itsgreat branches afforded shade for air that side of the building. When the present system of walks was laid outt It was not destroyed, though it stood directly In the way. The walk was laid around the sides, and ever since it has parted the hurrying thousands w ho dally travel to and from the bridge. There are several other buttonwoods in the park, one Just behind the City Hall being even larger than the one now cut down. All were planted about the same time, and only these and three largs elms on the Broadway lawn survive the days of the common. TIME CARD, STEAMER T. J. POTTER This week the O. H."& N.

O. H. DENVER. July IS. President Keating, of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, in his annual report referred feelingly to the death of Archbishop Feehan, of Chicago. Of the progress and standing of the order, Pret4dent Keating said: "We are today the strongest Catholic body In the 'United States. We can go further and proudly claim we are the strongest body In the world comprised of one nationality and belonging to one re ligion. Our labors in the field of benevo lence have carried peace and happiness to many bereaved homes. Our sincere de votion and careful observance of our du- ties as Catholics have strengthened the charitable work at Galveston, the Issuing of new charters and other work made necessary by the growth of the order. He also spoke of the fund for the aid of the Boers. President Keating recommended that more officers be provided by the organl- zntlon of the country into six districts, each to be under the charge of one of the National directors, thus Increasing the number of directors from four to six. A generous tribute was paid to the work of the ladles' auxiliary but the president refrained from making aqy rec ommendation as to xeorganlzatlon or sep aration. He urged that Irish history be taught In the parochial schools, and that the Influence of the order be lent to that movement. He spoke at length on the subject of Catholic education and closed his address with an eloquent appeal to the members of the order to be true to the lofty Ideals on which it Is founded, and urged a dlg" nified neutrality of the order as regards other orders of Irishmen. The election of officers and selection of the place for the next meeting, which hid been expected to occur today, were post poned until tomorrow. The Ladles' Aux iliary was given an advisory board to act with the board of directors of the A. O. If. The member selected are Miss Kath arine Shrlrtan, of Massachusetts; Mrs. Rose Keating, of Maryland, and Mrs. j Misy I'lynn, of Illinois. nc&uiuuuns were auoptea as xouows: Permitting local divisions of the order to Join the local organizations of the Cath olic Federated Societies; commending the gallant struggle of the Boers and congrat ulating them upon the outcome; appro priating $2000 to aid in the preservation of the Gaelic" language In Irelmd; advo cating higher education for Irish children; favoring the study of Irish history In the parochial schools and favoring the erec tion of a monument in La Fayette Square, "Washington, to Captain Jack Barry, known as "the Father of the American Navy." A chair of Gaelic for Trinity Coilege was endowed with 510.000 by the Ladles' Auxiliary. Mrs. M. Halloran, of Detroit, Mich., was named as the first Incumbent of the new place.

Several teachers In the public schools who will take their vacations this month have made arrangements for a camp and for home life that will remind them of their households. Their plan Is to go to Hood River, cstablls.1 their camp In about an acre of ground, hunt and fish and come back to town with the opin ion that they had gained more instruc tion by meandering in the forest than benefit by staying at the coast hotels and listening to the sad sea waves. Yester day one of the teachers was equipping herself for the journey, and when she was asked whither she was bound she told this story- "Have S'ou ever made the experiment before?" was Inquired. "Oh, yes, we tried our scheme last year." "I suppose you cooked everything you ate In chort, did everything that mother docs?" was said Inquiringly. "Well, no." came the answer in a doubt ful tone, "but we had a pleasant tftne. Now S nnd I and the others didn't do a thing but live high." "Caught your own fish and killed your own game?" "No; we did not have any fish or game." "Ate Jellies. Jams, and all that stuff that women know how to make?" "Yes, we bought that from the farmers." "Baked your own bread and pies Just like mother makes?" "No, we bought those from a traveling baker." "Cooked your fine steaks In the morn ing and felt like being at home?" "Why, we didn't have any steaks." "Well, where did your good time and your home life come In?" "Well, we had tea and cake and " "Who made the tea?" "I did." "And the cake?" "Why, we bought that from the baker that I told you about." "And where did the home life come In?" "Er well, we did considerable complain ing against the girl who made the tea, just as you men do on smaller matters." And she refused to answer another ques tion. COLOMBIA AIDED REBELS Nlcarnernn Hns Good Evidence to Support Her Claim. WASHINGTON. July 18. Senor Corea, the NIcaraguan Minister here, has re ceived news of two attacks or attempts upon NIcaraguan ports by the revolu tionists, aided by the Colombian Gov ernment. This fact was made patent by the use by the revolutionists of the Colombian warship General Plnzon. The first expedition, according to the advices received here, comprised about 1000 men. These reached Monkey Point, near Blue fields, but owing to the heavy seas and a prevailing storm were unable to make a landing, and returned to Colombian waters. About the first of this month the revolutionists appeared -again and made a landing near Blucfields. These were attacked by the government forces and routed with the loss of several lives. Many of the revolutionists were cap tured. Included among the captives was one Wilson, an American citizen. The military authorities have consented to give him a trial by court-martial, but It is felt that his condition is desperate, un less the NIcaraguan Government Is dis posed to clemency. GamgllnEr at Harlem. CHICAGO, July 18. Ten members of the village board of Harlem, as well as Har lem's Chief of Police, were arrested last night on charges of conspiracy preferred by A. C. McCarrolI, president of the South Harlem Protective Association. Warrants also were taken out for the presidents and secretaries of the Harlem and Hawthorne tracks. The charge of conspiracy la made on the allegation that members of the village board agreed with the officials' of the Harlem and Haw thorne race tracks to allow promiscuous gambling to continue at the former track after the officials of both board and race track had been notified that the village ordinances prohibited gambling. All of the men arrested were released on th'eh- own recognizance and will ap pear before Justice Martin on Monday for a hearing. Shot Two SLstcra 6t Charity. NEW YORK. July 18. Henry F.

FOUR HAVE FINISHED A COURSE AT THE GREAT UNIVERSITY. Never Before Has a Stndent So Af flicted Won One of the School's Regular Degrees. Four deaf students, two of them broth ers, were graduated last week at Harvard. So far as can be learned, in Its history of 266 years, the Institution has never be fore bestowed a regular desree upon a deaf mute, says the Boston Herald. The four are all entered In the Lawrence Scientific School, and all are planning to be engineers. They do not feel that they have accomplished great achievements, although their record Is unprecedented. Their eyes have done double duty, the slightest motion of their instructors and fellow-students' lips being full of mean ing to them. feomethlng of the credit due should be given to Professor James Love, of the mathematical department and secretary of the Lawrence Scientific School, yho. In order that they might better read his lips, cheerfully sacrificed his beard. For four years Robert R. Pollak. Tiles ton Checkering and Homer and Melvin Wheekr have delved In thermo-dynamlcs, electro-kinematics, hydroklnematlcs. grav imetric and volumetric quantitative anal ysis, the properties:, of polynomials, in variants, determinants, calculus of quar tcrnlons, the dynamics of rigid bodies, the theory of tetrahedal co-ordinates, quadrlo surfaces, linear associative, algebra, etc. It Is a question, af tor all. If such students, their world somen hat narrower than that of their companions, are not peculiarly adapted to the contemplation of such sub jects as spherical harmonics, and In years to come may not establish new achieve ments In such departments of Investiga tion. These young men have gone about Har vard exactly like their fellows, except that they have been excused from certam oral trsts. for which th blackboard and blue book were substituted. Except for copying their companions notes It Is like ly that they have given to tlulr classes as much as they have taken from them. In .athletics, tco, they have made credit able records, and at the same time each has been Identified with the techn.cal clubs In his own department of study, besides prosecuting some side line for nmusi ment, such as photography. One of them, Robert R. Pollak, made a European tnu In most uncommon style, working ns ocean passage on a cattle steamer, an 1 traversing the Continent with only a few coins In his pocket. Like Helen Keller, young Pollok Is a native of Alabama. He was born In ISaO at Montgomery, where his home still 1?. For th- first six years of his schooling he was under private teachers. Then he spent four years at the Northampton School for the Deaf. He prepared tor Har vard at the Browne & Nichols School. Ha intends to be a civil engineer. He Is a. member of the Browne Sc Nichols Club, ond the Harvard Engineering Society. Two yean ago he made up his mind to go abroad, -and as he lacked the necessary moncy he decided to work his way over on a cattle steamer. After no end of delay and discouragement, he started on h3 memorable trip, with a golf suit and coat as his outfit. He found the food served intolerable, "not fit for vultures." to quote the wdrds of his diary, but being deaf he was spared from hearing the profanity of the boss puncher, who, Pollak observes, "had reached the 33d. degree In that line." The h.trdtack was used for about every thing except Its original purpose. Finally Pollak bribed the steward through the medium of cash and there after had peace with his stomach. At this Juncture his dally Journal bears this Imprint: "Spent two pleasant hours In anticipation of better grub." Evidently the cattle operator's hungry looks ap p.ealed to some of the passengers, for a young woman, he writes, one morning of fered him a piece of cake. Although famishing his pride caused him to refuee the tender, whereupon she threw It over board. For an Instant It seemed to him as If he would jump overboard for tho sweetmeat. He relates In his record that he was waked by being punched with a stick con taining a nail, so the cattle had no mo nopoly of such attentions. Still, the trip was not without whiffs of pleasure, for one entry reads: "Played whist with three toughs; had a good time." Some of his other notes reflect the life aboard such a craft. One says: "The cattle-tenders analyzed the looks and physique of every woman aboard. Sailors always assume that a woman Is pretty or ugly. They have no Intermediate grade of beauty." Another entry Is to the effect that the "cattlemen alwajs fear trouble when missionaries or ministers are aboard." Tllestqn Chlckenng, whose home Is in Milton. Intends to do further work In the Lawrence Scientific, School, and will ulti mately become a clH engineer. He Is a member of the Harvard Engineering So ciety, and of the Civil Engineering Club. He has a strength test of 600. His early cducatlon was gained at the Horace Mann, Berkeley and Chauncy Hall schools. Homer C. Wheeler, of Petersboro. N. H., graduated at the English High and Man ual Training Schools. Cambridge, and Is a member of the Harvard Mechanical Club and thS Harvard Engineering Society. He has been somewhat prominent In golf, tennis, photography. He has a strength tost of 8S0. He expects to become a me chanical engineer. Melvin H. Wheeler, Homer's brother, carried on nls studies In calculus, etc.. with his brother at home, so that when he entered the Lawrence Scientific School It was for the third year's work. Posse on the AVronjf Trnll. GUNNISON, Colo., July IS. The chasa of the Marshall Pass train robbers Is prov ing to be a stern one, and Immediate cap ture of the bandits la now considered doubtful. Later advices Indicate that the fugitives are from 20 to 50 miles ahead of the pursuers, with a good chance of crossing the line and getting Into the fastnesses of the La Salle Mountains. The report that the robbers had been trapped In Box Canyon proved a canard. It Is also believed that the officers are on the wrong trail, and that the robbers, in stead of heading for the Taylor Park country, doubled back, and are making their way west through the White River country.
