HOGS NEEDED FIRST
After That Will Come the
Packing-Houses.
MUST PRODUCE TO CONSUME
Dr. Hutcnlnson's Views oa Question
of PaelclnE-Hbnses and Stockyards
for Portland Portland's Ad
vantages Are Undoubted,
Dr. R N. Hutchinson, the official In
charge of the local station of the United
States Bureau of Animal Industry, be
lieves there are great possibilities In the
meat-packing Industry for Portland, but
he thinks the producers have much to do
fcefore packing-houses -will locate here.
That Is, In his estimation It is not a
question of mere possibilities so much aB
one of practical demonstration. He agrees
entirely with the Idea that Portland has
superior advantages for building up a
great meat industry, and he believes that
such an Industry -will grow up here, but
he also says that the producers must in
crease their output before mora packing
houses trill be likely to enter the field.
Power to Increase the output is not
enough: it must be actually Increased. In
.epeaklng of the matter yesterday Dr.
.Hutchinson said:
"If the Oregon livestock raiser Is anx
ious to secure more and larger packing
houses for Portland there Is one way In
which he can accomplish his wish. Port
land market presents a demand for hogs
which I have not seen satisfied during
the last five years. This city has now a
moderoly equipped packing-house with a
capacity for the disposal of 600 hogs a day.
'If Oregon farmers will flood this packing
house that they already have they can
'see another spring up here in time to
teave the overflow. Eastern packers un
doubtedly have their eyes on this city,
but they are not going to put up an ex
tensive plant hero until they see a sup
ply of hogs greater than the local con
cerns can handle. Tou can rest assured,
though, that the minute the hogs appear
the facilities for their profitable handling
will be provided.
"There is no doubt of the capability of
this country to produce hogs enough to
supply the demand, both for local con
sumption and for export. It is simply a
question of Inclination towards diversified
farming. Market reports of the last few
.years show that the highest success In
animal husbandry has been attained In
those sections in which agriculture as a
whole has received the most attentive
study and made an advance beyond the
stage of merQ grain-raising and cattle
grazing. These same reports put before
us, too, the very pertinent facts that at
every center of livestock distribution
large packing industries have sprung up
and created a market which Js always
crying for more and more livestock. It is
well for the livestock raiser to take note
of how the packers make so much monoy.
If they did not save their offal their prof
Its would be small, but It is admitted
that they can sell the valuable part of
the animal at cost and yet make a large
aggregate profit on the offaL
"This diversity of product created, which
is such a potent factor in the success of
the packing Industry, if applied to animal
production, contributes Just as largely to
the success of the agriculturist as to the
success of the packer. The abattoir pro
prietor who simply slaughters and pro
vides no means for the profitable manu
facture of by-products from his offal,
stands in just the same relation to the
packing industry as does the rancher to
the agricultural Industry who sells his
wheat and provides himself with no ani
mals to use his offal, which Is represent
ed by straw, stubble and scattered grain.
The farm should no more be considered
a place of odds and ends than any other
industrial establishment. A business of
great waste Is one of small profit, and
no industry has, resultant from its opera
tion, waste products so easily convertible
into profitable merchandise aB has agri
culture. While the packer has to provide
, himself with elaborate chemical apparatus
and expensive machinery for the manu
facture of his offal into marketable by
products, the farmer has already avail
able the most intricate and delicate ma
chinery, combined with tho most com
plete chemical laboratory, in the cow, the
hog, tho sheep and the chicken, for the
transformation of his unused material
into- the necessary beef, pork, mutton and
eggs.
"In your article of Thursday you call
attention by most astounding figures to
the possibilities awaiting development of
the livestock production, with its allied
industry of meat-packing. At first glance
the figures which you present are so stu
pendous that they seem exaggerated. Con
sideration of the great area of Improved
and available farm lands which lie with
in easy reach of this city will show that
there Is no exaggeration In them, as a pos
sibility. In 1900 Oregon alone gave an
area of nearly 4,000,000 acres of Improved
farm land; if, now, every 160-acre farm
would market 40 hogs, which It certainly
ought to do, that would give 1,000,000. Tho
portions of Washington and Idaho that
are best adapted to agriculture ought,
from their location relative to transporta
tion, to be considered as more closely con
nected with Portland than with any other
city. That, then, gives an even greater
Improved acreage than Oregon alone can
show. Therefore, as a future possibility,
your estimate of 2,600,000 hogs Is all right.
"Tho census of 1900 shows, for Oregon
alone, 281,000 hogs, on 23,887 farms, having
an overage of 2S1 acres. That is less than
eight hogs to tho farm. I know for an
actual fact that the claims of your corre
spondents, which you quoted last Thurs
day, are correct, that every ICO-acre farm
can produce 50 hogs. But what they did
do In 1900 was to raise less than eight
hogs on a farm of 2S1 acres.
"I believe, though, that the high prices
that hogs have brought during 1901 and
thus far this year have so stimulated their
' production that their number in this state
has Increased about 33 1-3 per cent; if so,
that would make 375,000 hogs for this year.
Packing-houses at Portland will never be
established until the Oregon farmers shall
make them necessary by producing enough
livestock to overflow those already In ex
istence here. There is no doubt that there
ought to be more packing-houses and
greater stockyard facilities in this city,
but It Is the fault of the producer, and
not the fault of local butchers that there
are not. You can never get additional
packing-houses until you get animals
enough to supply them,"
The 2JIIslity Graft.
PORTLAND, Or., July 20. (To tho Edi
tor.) Fred W. Toung, according to your
paper, has recently returned from the
Klondike region after digging out a com
fortable fortune in the icy North. Mr.
Toung said:
"The people of Seattle are booming that
country, and there Is nothing there
except broken-hearted, penniless men, ly
ing politicians, etc. The country Is played
out and more men are broke up there
than you have any idea," etc.
I regret, Mr. Editor, to have to take
issue with this typical and well-preserved
Oregonlan, but having lived In that coun
try for a longer time than this gentleman,
and having also an opinion, I wish to say
that the stories he has told you are the
most radical moonshine.
Can Mr. Young explain how It Is that
this year the output of gold Is larger than
any previous year; that year after it is
Increasing?
Can air. Young kindly say what day
and In Vhat axsQ & sum f KM was
taxed in the'Gold Commissioner's Court?
Mr. Young knows full well that such
charge was never made.
Can Mr. Young say why It Is that Penn
sylvania capitalists have Just paid $1,000,
000 for the whole of Chechaco Hill? Why
it is that capital is pouring into this
country at an unprecedented rate? That
a railway from Dawson to the Stewart
River is under way?
It may bo true that this Summer labor
has been more plentiful, because many
.went there expecting to get work upon
railway construction, which for the time
being has been delayed.
As to Justice, no country had a more vig
ilant system for the suppression of crime
and disorder, and whenever it appeared
It has been summarily dealt with. In
matters of a civil character, there are
three Judges of the Supreme Court, and
whenever an appeal is made it goes before
them; but one Judge has heard the case
before, and even after that it can be sub
mitted to Ottawa and then, if necessary,
to London.
Seattle knows a good thing when she
has it, and let me say in passing that the
city which keeps its eye on the Northern
country is the one which is going to ad
vance and prosper as the Alaska and Yu
kon country grows. Seattle does not boom
and Js not booming and need not boom
the Klondike. Every practical man knows
the worth of that country, and if Seattle
can get the whole of the trade It will only
be obtaining what it .has worked for.
YUKON MINER.
DUAL FIELD DAY PLANNED
"Western Oregon and Washington vs.
Inland Empire Athletes.
Manager Kerrigan, of the M. A. A. C.
track team is trying to arrange a dual
track meet between a Western Oregon
team and one from the Inland Empire, to
be held at Spokane during the fruit fair
in September. It Is possible that a num
ber of University of Washington athletes
will Join the team, and the affair be
made a contest between the Western Ore
gon and Washington athletes and those
of the Inland Empire. If the project is
carried out, the team from this section
will be a. strong one, containing fleet
footed runners and agile Jumpers, who
ought to wrest a victory from the best
team, that the Inland Empire can bring
out.
Kerrigan, the wonderful all-around ath
lete of the Multnomah club, ought to
capture several first places, and Ed Mur
phy can be depended upon for other firsts,
as he Is a strong man in the hurdles and
field events. Gamxnie, in the sprints, has
been training faithfully of late, and Is in
the best of form. Payne and Lewis, the
crack sprinters of the State University,
can be depended upon to capture several
points. If they Join tho team, as their past
performances Justify the prediction. Payne
is considered one of the fastest men In
the Northwest for the 220 and 40 yard
dashes, while Lewis can do the 100 and 50
yard sprints in almost record time. An
other man who .must not bo .overlooked
in the selection of a winning track team
is Heater, the champion athlete of Pa
cific College. Heater usually wins first
place in every event in "which he competes,
and he is always in the pink of condi
tion. As a sprinter, hurdler, vaulter and
Jumper, Heater is the best all-around
athlete on the Pacific Coast today. San
ders, of M. A. A. C, is a strong man in
tho shot-put, while Zan and Cooke can
both throw tho discus considerably over
100 feet. Zan would prove a first-class
competitor in the oov-yard run, and Poley,
formerly of Eugene, could look out for
the mile run, as ho has a record of
4:43 2-5.
Three crack men of tho University of
Washington are thinking of Joining the
team, as the following from a Seattle pa
per shows:
A number of tho University of Washington's
prominent athletes will contest for tbe Mult
nomah Athletic Association this Summer. Fred
D. Chesnut, captain of last year's track team;
Harry Boetzkes and David Grant will all run
under Portland's colors.
Tbe athletic association has arranged for a
meet with the Spokane Athletic Club about the
middle of nxt month. The Spokane club is
especially strong this season, and has had hopes
of easily defeating the Webfooters. Their
chances cf victory, however, are now greatly
lessened by tbe college men joining. tbe Mult
nomah association.
Chesnut will begin training Immediately,
while BoeUkcs and Grant wlty start In about
a week. The former captain will not enter
tbe 100-yard dash again, but will confine him
self to his two star events, tho 200 and 440
yard dashes.
Heretofore Cbesnut has been compelled to en
ter tb 100 as a point winner, whether be de
sired to run tbe race or not. His event is the
440-yard dash, and In tbe future he Intends to
hold himself more closely to this one event.
During the last track season he easily won
the quarter-xnile dash from Whitman and the
'Washington Agricultural College, and from tho
Universities of Idaho And Oregon. In tbe meet
against the 'University of California, In 1801.
he won from Squires by one of tho most spec
tacular finishes ever witnessed on the Seattle
athletic track. Chesnut's record tlrao Is C2 2-5
seconds, but his friends feel confident that he
has repeatedly run his quarters In the mils
relay under that time. ,
Boetzkes will enter the relay and tbe mile
run. He has been a member of tbe university
track team for two years, but It was not until
last season that ho became one of its most
prominent members. He ran all of his quar
ters In tbe relay races In record time and won
every mile race in which Washington com
peted. At the beginning of last season It was
thought that Twltcbell would be the 'varsity
man to uphold the purple and gold In the half
and mile races. Boetzkes, however, owned tbe
mile ran, as Will Huntoon did tbe halt mile.
Dave Grant will compete In tbe running
broad and high Jumps, and, if needed, in the
pole vault and high hurdles. Grant won the
all-round championship cup offered by Profes
sor "Vender Veer for the highest point winner
of tbe season. In four meets Grant won his
four events, with the exception of the pole
vault against the University of Idaho. In the
high Jump, he holds the university record at
8 feet 9 Inches. His own record, however. Is
6 feet 1 Inch.
If Manager Kerrigan succeeds In get
ting these men, or a good majority of
them, together, and in first-class trim, the
Spokane athletes will have to face a very
formidable aggregation. Negotiations with
the Spokane people are now pending, and
if a sufficient financial guarantee is made,
the meet will be held. Such a contest
would stimulate the Interest in track ath
letlcs throughout the Northwest, and some
fine sport would result. Besides the Spo
kane Athletic Club, an Inland Empire
team would Include men from Whitman
College, Pullman Agricultural College,
University of Idaho and the lnterscholas
tic high school leagues of Eastern Oro
gon and Washington. Several crack ath
letes of the University of Washington
also live in the Inland Empire, and alto
getner a strong athletic array could be
mustered. v

POLISH PATRIOT SPEAKS
COLOXEL SOniESKI, DESCENDANT
OF A KING, ADDRESSES Y. 31. C. A.
lie Made a Gallant Record in the
Civil War and Later Served in
the Mexican Army.
Dressed in the black cloth suit of an
ordinary American citizen. Colonel John
Sobleskl, the lineal descendant of the Pol
ish patriot and Christian eoldler, King
John Sobleskl, whose army defeated the
Turks before Vienna In 16S3, and prevent
ed the Turks from overrunning Europe,
gave an Interesting address yesterday
afternoon In the hall of the Young Men's
Christian Association, on the topic, "Dan
iel as a Specimen of Stalwart Christian
ity." The Colonel spoke without notes,
and fluently. He had few gestures, and
said what he had to say easily and natu
rally, with a charm all Its own. In his
physical appearance, Cplonel Sobleskl
greatly resembles another' Colonel, Robert
G. Ingcrsoll.
In beginning his address. Colonel So
bleskl referred briefly to the story of the
Prophet Daniel, as told In the first chap
ter of the book of Daniel, when Nebuchad
nezzar, King of Babylon, captured Jeru
salem and gave orders that certain of the
children of Israel, Daniel among thqm,
should partake of a dally provision of the
King's meat, and of the wine ho drank,
so that at the end of three years "they
might stand before tho King." "As I have
Tead about and contemplated the Israelite,
although ho may keep a clothing storo
around the corner, I feel like taking off
my hat to him for he Is a countryman
of Daniel the Prophet," went on tho
speaker. "On account of the beauty of
his person and other gifts which the Lord
had given him, Daniel was placed near
the IClng, and was in favor with those
who were high In the King's counsel. But
how many of us could be strong and have
the strength of our convictions to such an
extent that wo could refuse the King's
meat and wine, as did Daniel? Ho knew
If he did so. he would be defiled In the
eyes of his people and his God.
"I remember hearing the story of a
poor New England boy, who came to be
known In after life as John Wilson, vice
president of tho United States, under
President Grant, and who died In 1875.
Well, this boy's people were so bad and
so drunken, that ho was taken from them,
was apprenticed to a shoemaker, and he
resolved that he would be known as Wil
son. He became a total abstainer, worked
hard for the cause of temperance, and
when tho antl-elavery agitation began to
be spoken of in this country he became
one of the authorities on the subject. He
was summoned to Washington as tho
guest of John Qulncy Adams, and at the
dinner given In his honor attended by
men prominent In that time in National
affairs, Adams asked him to Join in drink
ing a glass of wine. It was a great tempt
ation for the country boy, facing for the
first time such distinguished company.
But like Daniel, ho was steadfast. He
told his host that he loved and respected
him, and would rather prefer to drink his
health in water. And he did so. In speak
ing of the incident afterwards, Mr. Adams
said: 'It was one of the greatest ex
hibitions of Christian integrity I have ever
known. That young man refused wine
and drank water. We 'shall hear from
him in the future.' That shoemaker rep
resented Massachusetts in the United
States Senate for 18 years.
"Daniel came from an enslaved and
hated race, yet by his life and conduct, he
was honored by the King as no other man
was honored. To test him, the King said:
'Let us put his loyalty, to God opposed
to the loyalty he bears the Klrfg.' But
when the decree was Issued, Daniel stood
alone, and above temptation. He stood
for his God, for principle and for convic
tion. It must have been hard to give up
an office such as Daniel must have pos
sessedand this is true in these latter
office-holding days. Daniel redeemed his
nation, and at a later period In his life, f8?
principle he went Into a den of lions, in
Illinois, they recently raised a monument
to a New England minister who was shot
In that section 00 years ago. It was be
fore the stirring days of the Civil War,
when it required a hero to be an abolition
ist. This minister preached to Presbyte
rians who were large elave-ownere, and
he asked them to give up their slaves.
He was also tho editor of a newspaper,
and when he advocated this view In Ite
columns, the people pitched his printing
press into the river. Ho bought another
printing press, and the same thing hap
penedIt got repose in the river. Being
a Presbyterian he had th' perseverance
of tho saints, and steadily went ahead.
People told him not to bring religion In
disrepute, and not to mix religion with
politics. He was advised to preach on the
doctrines of John Calvin or John Knox,
and to leave slavery alone. He'sald: 'I
will utter my views, be the consequences
what they may,' and they shot him down,
killing him. Ho was despised and thought
of no account then. Now the grandchil
dren of the men who shot him down have
built a monument In his honor, and he
Is loved for his devotion to principle.
"Did Frances Wlllard get all she prayed
for, all she hoped for, during her life
time? I remember going to her town when
they brought her body home for burial.
It was a bitterly cold Winter day, and
the temperature was 12 degrees below
zero. Two thousand people stood at the
depot, and when the time came when
the people could see her, they tramped
for six hours. Over 40,000 people saw her
body, and many thousands moro tried to,
but could not. Many eyes wero wet, too,
among people whose Interests she had
opposed. For 5S years she had worked for
prohibition. Yet In her own town there
were thousands of saloons open. Yet I
never saw such sadness as at the funeral
of Frances Wlllard. She did not get her
reward on earth. Let us stand as Daniel
stood, and we shall bo blessed by God,
our Heavenly Father."
Colonel John Sobleskl, who served with
distinction In the Civil War, and later In
tho Mexican revolt, was born In Warsaw,
Poland, In 1S42. His father was Count
John Sobleskl, the son of James Sobleskl,
who lost his life in tho revolution In Po
land, 1S30-3L, and Is a lineal descendant
of King John Sobleskl, who Is known In
history as King John III. His mother's
maiden name was Isabella Bern, of the
celebrated Bern family, noted for their
patriotism.
Although a cultured man, well read,
with fine pronunciation, and a well-known
lecturer. Colonel Sobleskl never sat In a
schoolroom a day In his Hfe, and was
never graduated at a university. He has
not been taught and trained as were his
kingly ancestors, but by his presence,
conversation and bearing ho betrays what
In Europe would bo called ancestry. This
is evident in his splendid physique. In rare
gifts of mind and heart. In his courteous
bearing and character. He has been a
hard reader all his life, and readily
speaks several foreign languages, al
though he has not slaved at dictionaries
and grammars. Although a veteran of the
Civil War and severely wounded at the
battlo of Gettysburg, Colonel Sobleskl has
never asked the Government for a pen
sion. "Because," he says, "the Govern
ment has already too many pensioners,
and I prefer to take care of myself as
long as I can."
EarlyIn 1853, Colonel Sobleskl came to
tho United States, from England, where
he had been In exile. He was a stow
away on board the United States shlp or J
war uonsiewauon, v.apuun juuii v-raveiw
commanding. Captain Cravens was very
Indignant when he found that the young
Pole was on board as a private passen
ger, and asked him what he desired lo
do.
"I wish to be a soldier. All my ances
tors have been soldiers. I wish to' be
one." replied the boy.
"You are not big enough," hinted the
Captain.
"Sir, I can blow the bugle as well as
anyone. Try me," replied young Sobleskl.

When tho ship arrived at Governor's Is
land, Sobleskl was enlisted In tho United
States service as bugler, April 26, 1855.
Ho afterward served In the expedition
against the Mormons under Colonel Albert
Sidney Johnston, and -when the Civil War
broke out, although he was asked to en
llat with tho Confederates, he stuck to
the North, and fought' gallantly for the
United States Government. At Gettysburg
he was supposed to be mortally -wounded,
and the surgeon -who examined him on
tho field of battle said: "There's no hope
for you, my man. you'd better make
your peace with God."
"I've no fuss with God." said tho de
scendant of Kings, and he lived on. In
spite of the surgeon's predictions. When
the war closed, Sobleflkl camo out of It
Colonel of a colored regiment. For 10
years ho had ?erved In the Army of his
adopted country, and had fought 42 bat
tles In defense, of her flag; had been under
flro 42G times; had never known a sick
day, except when wounded at Gettysburg;
was never In the guardhouse; never under
arrest; and did not drink liquor of any
kind. Colonel Sobleskl made a stirring
record In the Mexican war which followed
when the Mexicans rebelled against Maxl
mllllan. In later years he has been prom
inent aa a temperance lecturer. He has
organized upward of 20S6 lodges of Good
Templars, and has taken Into the order
more than 90.000 members. In his 800.000
miles of travel, he has never been aboard
a boat, or a ship or a train where there
has; been anyone Injured In an accident.
Breakers Ahead.
New Tork Evening Post.
. Mr. Balfour's succession to the Pre--mlershlp
In natural and easy: but to
maintain himself there will require pow
ers greater than any he has yet dis
played. Already we see. In the resignation
ol the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that
there aw -serious differences and embit
tered factions In the Conservative party.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach's prompt throw
ing up of his ofllce will be Interpreted as'
a result of Prime Minister Balfour's hav
ing to choose between him and Chamber
lain, and having thrown himself Into
the arms of tbe latter. Chamberlain Is
undoubtedly tho more Influential politi
cal leader; but Is a dangerous man for
Balfour to tie to. In any case, extensive
party readjustments are Inevitable: and
a dissolution of Parliament cannot be
long delayed." An exciting political period
in England will be too soon upon us to
make prophecy about It at this time seem.
anything but -An unusually gratuitous
blunder. Enough today to note the
passing of one great figure In English
public life, and the accession of a Pre
mier of line gifts and high character,
who is a good friend of the United
States, and a statesman whose rise by
sheer ability makes, one hope that he
will be level with the great opportunities
now before him.
SHIELDS' GREATEST HIT.
Hundreds Turned Away From This
Popular Place of Amusement.
Shields' Park made its greatest hit since
opening last night. While the seating
capacity had been greatly Increased dur
ing the week, hundreds were turned away.
The new attractions were among the
best yet offered, and this Is tjaylng a
great deal. O'Leary and Fay, comedy
jugglers and new on tho bill, accom
plished many novel tricks. Fay was
made up as a tramp and his comedy was
flrst-class. Helen Lamar gave a very
pleasing rendition of "Blair the Regular,"
a story of the Phlllpplno "War. Manager
Shields made a wise move in retaining
Dalton and Lewis for tho second week.
Dalton was funnier than ever last even
ing, and his taking off of the character
of Tracy, the famous outlaw, eating din
ner, brought down the house. None of
last week's numbers were introduced In
the bill given by these clever actors
last night. Joseph Thompson added to
his gaining popularity In two fine songs,
which were well Illustrated, and the poly
scope pictures were better than ever.
Mile. Elliott will mako her first appear
ance tonight.
Manager Shields appreciates the In
creasing patronage and will add a balcony
toNtho seating capacity before next Sun
day. - .
