CHICAGO A GREAT MART
Central Station Through "Which the Tide of Traffic Flows The "World's Great Grain Market
CHICAGO, Oct 1. (Staff Correspond-
ence.) No more vague expressions of '
geographical location are In common use
than the terms "down East" or "out :
"West," but of the two the average "West-
erner has a much clearer perception of
what they mean than the man from the
East- The latter. If he fs a resident of
New York or Boston, generally regards
Rochester or Buffalo as way out West,
with Chicago about the limit. The V.rest
erner bound east, on the other hand,
seldom alludes to his Journey from the
Pacific Coast as "going East" unless he
intends to leave behind him .the 2000-mile
stretch between the Pacific Coast and
Omaha or St. Paul, and in nine cases
out of ten going East means going to
Chicago or some point still nearer the
setting sun.
Chicago is the grand central station
through which the tide of traffic, both
passenger and freight, flows from West
to East, and from East to "West. Small
branches of this traffic split from the
main stream at Omaha and St. Paul on
the Eastward flow, but In most cases j
they trickle back and reunite at ' the I
windy metropolis by the lake. The term
"windy" lg used advisedly; not as an
allusion to the greatest "hot-air" dls-
Twno!itT nn onrth hut hv reason of the
continuous draughts of cold air which
sweep In from the lake when the "ember" j
days come round. Chicago has as much
wind and more dirt than the Pacific Coast
climatic freak, San Francisco, and her
citizens set the Pacific Coast city a good
example by making no attempt to apolo
gize for it. And yet Chicago with all of
her wind and dirt which smudges the faco
of nature and man alike is, from a com- i
morel al standpoint, the most Interesting
municipality on the face of the earth.
All roads led to Rome In the old days,
and all roads lead to Chicago at the pres
ent time; it is practically the terminal
point of more miles of railroad than cen
ter in any other city on earth, over 90,000
miles of standard-gauge road radiating
from this railroad hub of the universe
and handling a traffic of such magnitude
that it is impossible for figures to compass
any adequate comprehension of Its di
mensions. In addition to the 'all traffic,
there i a lake business of such vast pro
portions that over 18,000 vessels entered
and cleared at the port last year, and In
spite of the steady enlargement of the
scope of thev railroad operations the lake
traffic Is growing more rapidly than
ever.
The population of the city is in round
numbers about 1,800,000, although some of
her enterprising citizens claim that she
is already past the 2.000,000 mark. The
commerce of the city amounts to nearly
$2,000,000,000 per year and the capital em
ployed In manufacturing enterprises is
about $250,000,0)0. Chicago does not con
flne her commercial operations to any
particular line. She rallies under the
cry of the Count of M.mte Cristo and
the world is hers, at least for the purposo
of barter and traffic In its products.
The importance of the Chicago wheat
pit as a power in the world's grain mar
kets is well known and appreciated wher
ever wheat Is grown or handled. Not
only Is there n;re wheat bought awd sold
In Chicago than In any other market on
earth, but the seething, 1 -stllng, strug
gling, yelling crowd of jperators who
daily give an apparently good imitation
of Bedlam turned loose in the wheat pit
practically make the market for a'l of
the rest of the world. Coming from a
wheat country, the operations on the
Eoard of Trade were of particular Inter
est to me In fact, they are Interesting
POOREST "RESERVES IM OREGON
"WARNER. MOUNTAIN WITHDRAWAL UNIQUE IN BEING MADE SOLELY TO
PROTECT WATER SUPPLY sr LETTER NO. IE
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash- i
lngton, D. C, Oct. 7. If ever a reserve Is
created in the Warner Mountain coun
try In Southern Oregon, it will be unique j
among forest reservations In the North- j
west. The large withdrawal that has
been made in that region Is unlike with
drawals elsewhere, having been made al
most entirely with a view to creating
a reserve xvhoso main object will be to
perpetuate the water supply, so essential
to the outlying country, which depends
so largely upon irrigation.
The creation of a Warner Mountain
reserve was first suggested in 1S98 by
Forest Superintendent B. F. Allen, of
California, who had been making exam
inations in the Warner Mountains in the
northern extremity of that state. The
project originated in California, and was
at firsl confined solely to that State. Later
on, however. Superintendent G. L Taggart
looked Into the question, and extended
his investigations northward into . Ore
gon, under authority granted by Commis
sioner Hermann, with the result that he
on May 27, 1900, recommended the with
drawal of a large tract In Northern Cal
ifornia and the adjoining section of Ore
gon, surrounding Goose Lake.
Unlawful Cutting of Timber.
In the course of his travels Taggart
found that there was a great deal of un
lawful cutting of timber in the Warner
Mountains, and It was only when he re
ported this fact that Commissioner Her
mann issued specific instructions detail
ing him to make examinations with a
view to determining the necessity for a
permanent reserve.
It is stated in Taggart's report that a
great majority of the citizens whom he
interviewed were in favor of the creation
of a forest reserve. "In SouthernOregon,"
he said, "the water question is a serious
and important one to all settlers. The
only objectors to a reserve were sheep
men, sawmill men and shake makers."
He went on to say that the disastrous
fires of the past have been started large
ly by sheepmen. The mlllmen, he found,
did not want a reserve because it would
prevent them trespassing upon Govern
ment land and cutting timber illegally,
which, he added, many of them were
then doing. The shake-makers are ac
countable for the waste of thousands or
rather millions of feet of the finest tim
ber to be found in the mountains.
' He reported that the timber supply of
the Warner Mountains is limited, there
not being over 10 per cent of the whole
area of the mountains containing tim
ber. Merchantable timber, he said, would
average 25,000 feet per acre In Oregon,
and in some instances run as high as
50,000 to 70.000 feet. Not 5 per cent, of
the land embraced in the present Warner
Mountain withdrawal is agricultural.
Yet preservation of the water that comes
from these mountains is the only hope
of the settlers in Lake Counts'.
Want to Make Homes.
Mr. Taggart believes most of the set
tlers now within the limits of the with
drawal are there for the purpose of mak
ing permanent homes, although some of
the claims were taken for speculative
purposes. In his Judgment, much tim
ber land has been obtained fraudulently,
and much timber is still being cut illegal
ly. There Is practically no land under
cultivation within the limits of the with
drawal. .
"In my Judgment, what timber is
there' says Taggart, "should be pre
served for the conservation of the water
and for future as well as present uses.
I can see no Injury that could be done
to any one by reserving these lands, but
that great benefits Would accrue if they
were reserved.
"Sheep do great damage to the under
growth and brush generally, and should
not be allowed in these mountains or
within tho limits of the proposed reserve."
Taggart's report was eventually sub
mitted to the Geological Survey, for rec
ommendation., and came back August 1L
1902. with the following comment by the
Director:
"Tho proposal for the creation of &
enough to quicken the pulse of anyone j
who views them, -Either from the visitors'
gallery or from the floor of the pit, al
though what It all means may seem a
trifle vague to the uninformed observer.
Trading on the "curb" begins as early as
buyer and seller happen to meet, but the
regular session of the Board of Trade
does not open until 9:30 A. M. Long be
fore that hour the men on the curb have
warmed up to their work, and a few min
utes before the big bell taps in the room
upstairs the early murmurlngs of the
traders have swelled Into a roar which
fills the hall and corridors downstairs,
and Is wafted up Into the pit above them
like the breath of an oncoming cyclone,
and not Infrequently this Is about what
follows the preliminary skirmishing on
the curb. There are four pits in the big
room where the world's prices on wheat
and corn are made. The wheat pit is
almost directly under the gallery, and
just beyond is the corn pit. To the right
of the corn pit is the oats pit, and far
ther over toward the right-hand corner
is the proxisions pit, the arrangement of
the various pits being in accordance witb
their importance.
A few minutes bofore 9:30 the roar of
the curb softens and the bulls and the
bears come trooping up and gather
around the respective pits in which they
expect to do their dally scrappkig. There
is a momentary lull as the hands on the
big clock creep slowly round and the
noise of conversation is temporarily over
whelmed by the rattle of scores of tele
graph keys over to the right of the pits.

the fact that a nod or a sign from a
buyer or seller is sufficient to close' a
deal where thousands are Involved. As
one of the brokers explained it, "It is
simply a matter of honor and credit, and
the man who is lacking in either cannot
operate on the board."
Brokers anxious to secure quick action
for their clients make extensive use of
the sign language. On the edge of the
pit stands a quiet appearing young man
who alternates his gaze every second or
two between one of the pushers and shov
ers in the pit and a young man who
stands Just inside the doorway of an of
fice off the floor of the pit. The man in
the offiee has a telephone headpiece
clamped to his ear, and suddenly throws
up his hand, wriggles his fingers, and
perhaps shrugs his shoulders. The man
on the edge of the pit makes a dive into
the human maelstrom and reaches the
ear of his confederate, who immediately
becomes more excited than before and
does a little stunt in sign language with
a man way over on the other side of the
pit- He then returns to the human signal
station on the edge of the pit, and that
quiet individual twirls his Angers, nods
his head and Indulges In a brief panto

without comment by the man at the tele

No reasons were assigned. There was"
no evidence that the matter had received
intelligent or careful consideration. Noth
ing but this bare adverse report, a char
acteristic method of the Survey.
On May 9, 1903, the Bureau of Forestry
recommended the creation of a reserve;
in the Warner Mountain country in Ore
gon, and on July 15, recommended tho
withdrawal of an even larger tract, with
the last recommendation offering Jthe
following explanation:
"These lands are practically all non
agricultural, forested lands, and their
protection is of great Importance not
only to preserve the forest as a source
of timber supply, but also to Insure an
equable and continuous supply of water
to those arid and semi-arid districts.
Though a considerable part of these
lands has unfortunately passed into
prhate hands, It Is believed that much
of it is still vacant, and particularly is
this true of the more mountainous dis
tricts, and the more mutilated and "in
ferior forests, tho territories most in
need of proper management and protec
tion. Residents Favor Reserve.
"The sentiment of the residents of the
district, most all stockmen. Is heartily
in favor of forest protection by the crea
tion of forest reserves."
July 27, on the showing made by the
Bureau of Forestry, combined with the
report of Superintendent Taggart, tho
Secretary ordered the withdrawal that
stands today.
The records of this case close with a
joint letter from Senators Mitchell and
Fulton, dated September 5, In which they,
file, without comment, resolutions of the
Roseburg Board of Trade remonstrat
ing against the withdrawal of lands in
the Warner Mountain country.
The La Grande Reserve.
The La Grande reserve was first sug
gested by Forest Superintendent James
Glendlnnlng, of Idaho, who, on July 17,
1900, filed with tho Commissioner of the
Land Office a letter from E. H. Llbby,
President of the Lewlston Water and
Power Company, asking that necessary
steps be taken to secure an examination
of the Blue .Mountains at the headwaters
of Asotin Creek and other streams ris
ing in the vicinity. He urged the reser
vation of tho lands, with a view to per
petuating the water supply.
This letter was referred to tho Geolog
ical Survey, and by tho Survey returned
to the Secretary with a mere recommen
dation that the reserve be created to em
brace not only the northern arm of the
Blue Mountains In Oregon, but that it
be extended Into Washington. On this
recommendation the withdrawal was
made, November 5, 1902.
On January 9, last. Congressman Jones
filed protests against the reservation of
certain lands embraced within the with
drawal, and asked that careful examina
tion be made before the lines of a reserve
were established. Similar letters were
filed' by Congressman Cushman and Sen
ator Foster.
At the request of Congressman Moody,
a small addition was made to the La
Grande withdrawal last January for state,
flsh cultural purposes.
The records of this case close with a
rccomendatlon of the Bureau of Forestryi
under date of July 16, 1903, that a with
drawal be created embracing identically
the lands that are today included within
the La Grande withdrawal.
The Joseph River "Withdrawal.
On May 21, 1903, the Bureau of For
estry, based upon a report from Special
Agent H. D. Langllle, urged with with
drawal of the small tract in Northeastern
Oregon, now known as tho Joseph River
Withdrawal. Langllle, reporting to tho
Bureau, said:
"On account of the wholesale occupa
tion of this locality for speculative pur
poses, the necessity for the temporary
i withdrawal of these lands pending an
found time to tell me that what Ihad
Just witnessed was the purchase of 50,000
bushels of December wheat at 76 cents,
and that the San Francisco party who
ordered it had already been notified of the
purchase.
The Board of Trade, however, is not
the only place in Chicago where farm
products are handled on an extensive
scale. There is a Livestock Exchange,
Fruit and Vegetable Shippers' Asso
ciation. Milk Exchange, Butter, Egg
and Cheese Association, Produce
Exchange and a number of simi
lar institutions. The cash grain business
Is handled in elevators all over the Mid
dle West and Northwest, as well as by
the Institutions along the Chicago water
front. For this reason Its magnitude is
not so easily appreciated as Is that of
the livestock industry, which has its
Central West headquarters out at the
Union Stock Yards. These yards have an
area of about 400 acres and facilities for
handling at one time 200,000 hogs. 50.000
cattle and a large number of sheep and
horses. In the yards are 20 miles of
watering troughs and 50 miles of feeding
troughs, and the magnitude of the busi
ness like that of wheat and corn is so
vast that here also are the world's prices
regulated.
The smell of salt waters missing from
the Chicago water front, and it would be
overwhelmed by the aroma of the Chi
cago River even if it were otherwise
in evidence, but the sailor is here. He Is
less picturesque than his brother on the
Atlantic and Pacific, but none the less
Interesting, and fully as garrulous, but
not so easily shanghaied, the short voy
have long since passed the point where
five to eight-story buildings were profit
able, and the structures now going up In
the business districts are from 12 to 20
stories high. On one of the principal
business streets an old-established bank
ing concern has nearly completed an 18
story building on a lot adjoining the cor
ner where the bank is located. They are
now arranging to move Into the now
building, and as soon as they are in will
tear down the eight-story building erect
ed a dozen years ago and replace It with
a structure the same height as the one
Just nearlng completion. While on the
subject of high buildings, I am reminded
that the shadow of the Ferris wheel,
which has been hanging over Chicago
since the close of the World's Fair, Is
about to be removed. When the big show
closed the wheel was sold to an enter
prising showman, who removed It from
the fair grounds to a select neighborhood
not far from Lincoln Park. He secured
a short lease of the1 grounds and opened
up with an aggregation of sideshows and
attendant nuisances that soon resulted
in depreciating property in the vicinity in
a striking manner. For this reason a re
newal of the lease will not be granted,
the wheel stands idle, and anyone needing
a Ferris wheel in a fair state of preser
vatlon can secure one at. a bargain, as
the property-owners insist that it be re
moved. ' E. W. W.
examination and report as to their suit
ability for a forest reserve, is most ur
gent. I have the honor to recommend.
therefore, that a temporary withdrawal
be made of the following described lands
Sections 1, 12, 13, 24 and 25 in township
2, range 44.
Townships 2 and 4, range 44.
Townships 2, 3 and 4, range 45.
Townships 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, range 45.
Townships 3, 4, 5 and 6, range 47.
West half township 3, range 48, and all
of fractional township 5, range 48, all
north and east.
These lands were withdrawn, and so
stand today. No other recommendation
was made; the land office was not con
suited, and even the Geological Survey
was given no opportunity to take a hand
in this instance.
Two, or rather three, other withdrawals
wero made on the sole recommendation of
the Bureau of Forestry, which furnished
the Interior Department with no reasons.
further than It deemed temporary with
drawals necessary, pending detailed in
vestigation, which it promised would be
made this Summer. These are the Mor
row withdrawal in Eastern Oregon, and
the two withdrawals of lands which It Is
intended shall be added to the Cascade
reserve, on the west, should the investi
gations of the Bureau seem to justify
such extensions. The latter withdrawals
embrace 25 Vs townships in all, while the
Morrow withdrawal includes:
Townships 6 and 7, and north half 8,
range 25.
Townships 6 and 7,- west half 8, range 27,
Townships 4, 5 and 6, and north half
7, range 28.
Townships 5 and 6, and north half 7,
rango 29.
Townships 4, 5 and 6, and north half
7, range 30; all south and east.
The files do not show anything as to
the character of these lands, nor the
reasons for recommending their with
drawal. Tho mere request of the Bureau
of Forestry was sufficient, and is unsup
ported by recommendations from any
otner Bureau. ,
FACTS ABOUT VOLUNTEERS
Mrs. ICilgore Tells About Contro
versy With Mr. Beals.
PORTLAND. Or., Oct ". To tho Ed
ltor.) You will kindly let me state to
the public, " through your valuable paper.
the facts concerning our hall and our
work for the volunteers of America In
Portland. In the first place, let me say.
myself and husband came htre about
six months ago to work f0r God and
souls under the auspices of the Volunteers
of America, but some two months ago,
on account of my health, my husband
Captain Kllgore, wrote to Colonel Dun
can in San Francisco, who has charge of
the Volunteers on tho Pacific Coast, that
my health had failed me, and for him to
send new officers to take our places
This he declined to do until after the
council, which Is taking place at San
Jose October 6, 7 and S. He wished us to
remain until October 12, when he would
be able to relieve us by -sending other
officers to take our place.
About ten days ago my husband was
offered a position on the railroad, pro
viding he would accept the same at once,
which he "did, but he was compelled to
go to Walla Walla, as his run would go
out of that place. We took permission to
cloBe the hall for ten days, and, when I
returned to make things ready for the
new officers, I found this man Beals, who
had previously been assisting us in our
work, but whom we had expelled and
forced him to vacate our quarters be
fore leaving, was moving our seats and
benches from the hall, he having delib
erately broken our lock, which we had
placed upon the front door, and sold out
to this1 man Carson for 512.50. Of course,
I objected to this procedure, as he was
unauthorized to act in behalf of the Vol
unteers of America "without our consent,.
which I can positively say we should
not have given him.
Now, in regard to our spending money
for our claim, which we had collected
here, I will say we have never had. $10
salary since we have had charge of the
work in Portland, neither has myself or
husband solicited to exceed 510 from the
good people of Portland. On the con
trary, our support has come from the free
will offerings given by those who have
listened to our works of warning to flee
from the wrath to come. My husband
has worked a good part of the time while
in Portland, preferring to do this than to
solicit.
In conclusion, our bills are all paid.
and when the new officers arrive they
will have no debts to pay. We thank
the public for their kind words of cheer
and wo also feel grateful to Mr. Weln-
hard for the use of his building so long.
for he could have rented the same many
months ago for at least four times what
we were paying him; and last but not
least, we thank Mr. Carson for the J25.
which cleared our indebtedness.

the privilege of using the emblem become
general, there would be greater publicity.
It was decided that the publicity was
of much more value to the Exposition
than the revenue and the decision was
made on this basis.
The only requirements of those who
desire to print the official emblem on
letter heads is that they secure formal
permission from headquarters, and ' for
ward 50 cents for a photographic repro
duction of the emblem for half-tone pur
poses.
It is the belief of Secretary Reed and
members of the committee that there will
be a very heavy demand for these en
velopes by business men as well as others
who are sending out mall, arfd that there
will be no small amount of advertising of
the Fair through this source.
During the afternoon there was a meet
ing at headquarters of the executive com
mittee with the chairman of all commit
tees at which considerable routine mat
ter was disposed of. Among other things
authority was granted Director of Works
Huber to purchase a ton of grass seed
from the Portland Seed Company. He was
also authorized to advertise for the neces
sari' material for the building of the
water tower at the Exposition grounds,
and was directed to proceed to Oswego to
secure some trees that have been donated
to the Exposition for planting on the
grounds. Those present at this meeting
were: Directors Scott, Wolfe, Ladd, r en
ton. Mills and Wesslncer. of the execu
tive committee; Chairman of Publicity
Flelschner. Chairman of Manufactures
Connell, Chairman of Exhibits Devers,
Chairman of Concessions Frlede.
The form of the bill to Congress, as In

of the malls. As the bill now stands the
franking privilege Is now extended to
members of the State Commission. It Is
nreuer! that th assent of Concress could
be as readily secured for all otnciais as
for a part and the commission will urge
that they be included, as it will mean a
large saving In postage. The expenditure
for postage at the present time Dy tno
commission amounts to more than J20 a
month.
