bt JOHjreTOsr arctXLLT.
Not only does tho local beet trust hold
up the retailer and through the email
dealer the consumer, but it goes farther,
attacks the grower, and forces cattlemen
to come to its terms, buys beef on the
hoof at Its. own price, grades the beef ac
cording to Jits own standard, and catches
the lucre "comm. and golnV
Moreover, there Is said to be an unholy
alliance between tho packers and whole
salers of Portland on the one side and
the packers and wholesalers of Seattle
and the Sound country on the other, an
alliance that draws Invisible lines through
the country of beef production. Invisible
lines that divide the territory and lay out
claims with such fidelity that Sound pack
ers and Portland packers never bid
against each other In the field, thereby
forcing the grower to deal with but one
man, who offers prices such as a man
will offer when he knows there Is no pos
sibility of competition.
Growers Once Rebelled.
Less than a. year ago, when the pack
ers deemed It safe to lower the price
of beef below the 4-cenJ margin, the
growers In Oregon rebelled. The buyer
who invaded the Portland territory was
told in a few words that he could not
get beef unless he paid a respectable
price, unloss he was willing to give grow
ers enough money for their stock to
make cattle-raising a lucrative industry.
The growers, perhaps, had met before
hand and arranged to "get together."
and they did so. The buyer for the Port
land district found that throughout his
territory growers refused to sell at the
prices he offered, and stated that they
desired a certain price a price that ap
peared uniform with all growers in the
territory.
Buyer Deserts Territory.
The uyer hastened to a telegraph of
fice when this was discovered and proved
to. his satisfaction, and wired the cir
cumstances to his house, or houses, in
Portland. He did not receive an answer
to pay the growers the reasonable price
they asked, nor was he told that the
beef had to be purchased at any price
because the packing-houses absolutely
needed it. Instead, he was ordered back
to headquarters forthwith. The follow.
lng day beef was raised 2 cents a pound.
and when consumers and retailers alike
asked why, they were told that beef
was scarce, and that anything scarce was
necessarily higher than something that
was plentiful.
This "scarcity of beer cry of the pack
ers and wholesalers held a small grain
of truth, because it was evident to re
tailers who watched tho yards for i
few days at that time that there were
no large shipments. But about the time
the dealers ceased to hang around the
yards the trust made another move.
Buys Beef in Colorado.
The buyer was hurried to Colprado, and
there ho visited the ranches for the pur
pose of purchasing beef on the hoof. He
was forced to bid against the real beef
trust, the beef trust in capital letters.
He met buyers for Armour and for Swift
When these men learned that there way?
a hostile buyer in the field they began
their usual series of tricks. The Port
land buyer played up to them and he got
the beef.
He got It at 2 cents a pound more than
he would have had to pay the Oregon
growers to satisfy them and give them
a' little proflL He shipped the cattle
to Portland, and the local trust paid the
freight. This made the beef fully 3
cents higher than Oregon beef would have
cost when purchased at the price the
growers demanded. But the trust didn't
care, for it was playing a game.
Prices Raised Again.
The man In Colorado purchased as much
beef as he would have purchased had ho
confined his -operations to tho Oregon
territory. Prices remained high, because.
the packers eald, of the "scarcity of
beef." Small dealers paid the prices and
the wealthier class of consumers paid the
advance in turn. The poor ate no beef.
When it oame time for the buyer
again to invade the Oregon field, the
catlemen waited for him in vain. Their
cattle were ready for sale: they had
a large stock on. hand from the last
season, and the stock of the new sea
son. Feeding had cost; and they still
wanted their 5 cents a pound, which
the buyer had refused to give them
before. They knew it had been re
ported that beef was scarce. They
figured that the Portland buyer had
been forced to purchase in other and
more expensive fields, and they
thought he would be very willing to come
to their terms In order to get the meat he
needed. But still the buyer did not ap
pear.
"Feed Your Cattle."
They communicated with the Portland
packers. In time they received an an
swer. The answer said: "Feed your
catle: we dont want them.
Then the growers began to Investi
gate. They discovered that the Port
land buyer was trotting oft to Colo
rado to purchase stock, that he paid
a price greatly In excess of what they
desired themselves, that freight cost
more, that beef, therefore, was much
higher In Portland, that they them
selves were being blamed for the
'scarcity of beef," when, in reality
beef had never been more plentiful
that is, on the hoof.
Seattle Refuses to Buy.
Aroused with righteous indignation.
the growers got together' again.
They determined to boycott the Port
land buyers and sell to the Sound coun
try. The buyers of the Sound country
were so notified, and the intimation
went to them that there was excel
lent 4-cent beef going begging in the
State of Oregon. Enthusiastically
they waited for the reply which was
to tell them, they thought, that
buyer was on the way. The reply came,
It read: "We have enough beef; we
don't need yours."
How does it happen, the growers
asked themselves, that beer is so
soarce in Portland when Seattle has
nil she needs? They began to reason
it out. When thej did this they dis
covered that they were slipping to
ward the lltle- end of the horn. They
saw that they were In the grasp of
the octopus. A UUe more investiga
tion convinced them that the Seattle
buyer was purchasing beef in his own
district, and paying a little more than
the Portland buyer first offered them.
They also discovered that when the
Seattle packers said they had enough
beef they deliberately falsified. They
had beef, perhaps, but the market was
by no means flooded. The growers at
this juncture tripped over the invisi
ble line, and the cat jumped out of the
bog. They came to the conclusion
that if they sold beef at all they had
to sell it to the Portland packers. Se
attle men would not take it because
of the alliance. The big trust would
not take It because they got all they
desired In other fields not so far away
from their operations. They discov
ered they were cornered.
Panic Among Growers.
Then came the panic The under
standing between the growers melted
away like snow in a Summer sun. In
dividual cattlemen wired frantically to
Portland. They wanted to sell beef.
and they didn't care what they got for
it. JLftey nad to sell beef because the
stock was feeding, and It was feeding
at a great loss to the grower.
m time the Portland buyer Jour
neyed nonchalantly to the field. He
said he understood the growers had
beef to sell. They replied that thev
had. He asked what they wanted for
it. xney mentioned 4 cents. The
PENDLETON, Or.. March 30. (Special.) The largest plowing outfit in Oregon has Just been unload in this c!tyand
-will be used on a Umatilla County terra. It consists of a 30 horse-power engine and eight 14-inch plows, capable of cut
ting SO acres per day on level land.
The engine will pull the outfit at the rate of two and three-quarter miles per hour, and the plow cuts 112 inches,
or nine and one-third feet at each furrow. The engine is a double-cylinder compound, the drive wheels are six feet high
and are 39 Inches In width, with flanges four Inches deep, -with which to ding to tho ground. The entire outfit weighs
about 35,000 pounds and is valued at $5000.
These plows are extensively U6ed In California, Nebraska, the DalcoUs and Kansas, and also in South Africa, Australia,
Argentine and Canada, but this Is the first of this kind to be brought into Eastern Oregon. This outfit will plow as many
acres In a day of ten hours as 14 three-horse teams, using one 14-lnch share each. One man is required to operate this plow,
and it bums about half & ton of coal per day.
buyer stated that the price was too
high.
"What will you give?" asked the
growers.
"About 3 cents," replied the buyer.
"We thought beef was scarce," Bald
the growers.
T gues there Is an abundance.'' said
tho buyer, with a sinister smile.
In time the growers trotted out their
beeves at Z", cents. The buyer looked
them over.
Buyer Grades the Beef.
"Inferior quality," announced the
buyer. "Shrinkage will be very great.
Cattle will not dress up to the stand
ard. Meat will be tough. Am sorry, but
will have to make allowance for all this."
The growers looked surprised. They
knew their cattle were never in bet
ter condition, that the shrinkage
would be less than usual, that the
percentage would be higher and the
meat sounder and better throughout.
They stated so. The buyer remarked
courteously that be was sorry to be
obliged to disagree with them. The
growers again saw a great light. They
sold their beef at the buyer's figures,
and allowed the buyer to grade the
beeves according to his own idea of
standard. They had to got rid of the
beef, an they did it
The beef was shipped to Portland.
The packers had obtained it at a
ridiculous figure. The cattle were of
excellent quality. The public learned
that cattle were more plentiful, and
the small dealer had hopes- The poor
saw visions of Juicy steaks.
Prices Do Not Drop.
But alas! the prices did not drop.
When asked why, the packers stated
that the beef was not dressing up to
the standard, that the loss amounted
to a pretty figure, and they were
obliged to get their money out of the
meat. Dealers wired to Seattle for
meat at decent figures. Seattle replied
that the supply was so short she had
no beef to sell to new customers that
her own trade territory demanded all.
The Big Trust was appealed to. and
the Big Trust stated that the price of
beef was uniform with that sold by
the Little Trust, that transportation was
responsible for it. Then the small
dealer paid the Little Trust its price,
and the poor ate no juicy steaks.
Growers Have Learned Lesson.
But the cattlemen! The cattlemen
had been taught a lesson. They have
never since attempted to quote prices.
They are thankful when they get 4
cents and 4j cents, and when they get
5 cents they have a season of feasting,
for it is like a gift from the gods.
They know the Little Trust doesn't
have to do it. They have to raise
beef; they can't raise anything else.
Only when irrigation steps in and
other things can be raised at a profit
will there be a chance for a real
scarcity of beef. Only then will there
be a chance to make the Little Trust
come to the growers' figures. The Lit
tle Trust Is not worrying about that,
however, and the growers are not con
templating Improvements with money
to be made at that time.
This, then. Is the story of how the
cattlemen who dared place a price on
their own property were punished. It
Is also the story of how the common
people were punished for thinking
there was a Little Trust. They per
haps know now, instead of thinking,
but they pay for their knowledge, as
they did for their suspicions.
Prisoner Threatens Suit.
Oliver Harrington, the refractory pris
oner who refuses to work on the rockpile
under J. F. Johnson, guard, threatens to
file criminal proceedings against the
guard when he Is released from the Coun
ty Jail. Under the law Harrington Is not
entitled to time allowance while "he re

and he adheres to his determination not

FINE- THEM ALL
Dilatory Contractors Are Made
to Pay.
PENALTIES FOR EACH DELAY
Pacific Construction Company Will
Also Suffer In Money for Failure
to Complete Morrison-Street
Bridge on Time.
For the first time In the memory of any
official, contractors are to be fined for
not completing street Improvement work
on time.
The street committee of the Executive
Board yesterday afternoon placed fines
amounting In ail to S50 upon four con
tractors. The amount to be deducted
from the pay of the contractors is of
BIGGEST PLOWING OUTFIT IN OREGON
course a minor item, it is the precedent
which has been established.
Rodney L. Gliaan put down his foot
firmly. Mayor Williams offered no objec
tion, and Whitney Boise found himself In
the position of helping fine a contractor
for whom he is tho attorney.
For years and years contractors have
been in the habit of completing street
Jobs whenever they were ready. Any old
excuse went with the officials. The pres
ent Executive Board has been very easy
In this matter. Sometimes it objected to
extensions of time on contracts, but an
actual fine was unheard of.
At the last meeting, however, it was an
nounced that contractors were to be
brought up before the street committee
and made to tell why they were not on
time with the street Improvements.
What Is still more surprising the bridge
committee, of the board will hold a meet
ing this afternoon at which the amount
of penalty to be exacted from the Pacific
Construction Company for non-completion
of the Morrison street bridge on time
will be decided. From what members say
it is probable that this fine will amount
to several thousand dollars. Minus any
fine there is .about J700O yet to be paid on
the bridge.
C. F. Swigcrt, formerly manager of the
City and Suburban and a member of the
Pacific Construction Company which built
the big steel bridge, has made tremendous
objections to any penalty being imposed.
But he has not been listened to with very
much attention by some members of the
Executive Board.
According to the contract between the
Pacific Construction Company and the
city, 55(1 a day Is the penalty provided for
non-completion of the structure on time.
It was about two months after the stipu
lated date that the bridge was finally
opened. The city receives $33 a day from
the Portland Consolidated Railway Com
pany for the use of the bridge. All the
time that the bridge's opening was de
layed the city was losing the toll from
the car company.

on Pine street took up most of the com
mittee's session. Elwood Wiles, the con
tractor, thought no fine should be Im
posed upon h'"i as he had been delayed
sixty days by a sewer, then by the com
plaint on the brick, and then by the
partial change from brick to stone blocks.
"None of these contractors has rustled
around to get through' on- time." de
clared City Engineer Warner, however,
and this had much weight with the com
mittee. On motion of Gilsan a fine of $15
was Imposed upon Wllep, who Is ISO days
delinquent.
W. Lelper's first piece of contracting In
Portland was an Intersection of Jessup
street. The contract price was S3L. But
he was sixty-two days behind time and
was fined $5. Smyth & Howard were de
linquent sixty-one days on East Pine
street.
"Sidney Smyth made a magnificent ex
planation, but I've forgotten Just what it
was." said Boise. City Engineer Wan
zer's opinion was considered, and the con
tractors fined $15. The same amount was
Imposed upon W. E. Cole for delay in the
Improvement of East Alder street.
City Engineer "Wanzer has Issued a
statement to 'all contractors delinquent In
their work that so far as his office is
concerned delays will count against them

What the Expert Found.
The memoranda referred to Is the re
sult of an Inspection of the boat made
by Captain H. Van Auken, who has had
long experience running ferry-boats, and
John Sheen, an engineer,. and follows:
Hull Present 'so-called trusses in hold of
vessel should be entirely removed except
lower cord and GxlS-inch doubls keelsons
substituted with hog posts and chains to
stiffen hull. Rudders should be shifted as
near as possible to ends c boat in order to
facilitate better handling of vessel and
should hoist clear of water.
Machinery Bracing under, cylinder tim
bers should be changed and more anchor
bolts put in. Wedge-shaped pieces wider.
Cylinders should be removed and braces
substituted. Another main Journal box
should be fitted Instead of one now in place,
on account of present one being too short
between boxes of cranks, thus allowing a
thwartship movement of about S or X of
an Inch in the drag shaft and cranks. This
particular part of machinery, will, in our
opinion, give more or less trouble at all
times on account of the twisting strains to
which it is subject, and the short length of
the intermediate shaft, we are of the opln
ion the design would have been much im
proved had room been provided for two
bearings Instead of the present arrangement.
However, this defect may be partially if
not quite overcome by an arm fitted and
securely bolted pillow blocks.
Paddle wheels Spring bearings in paddle
shaft should be moved Inboard about 1
inches from present location to allow flanges
on paddle shaft to be moved so as to bring
wheel arms within about 3 Inches of ends of
paddles or bracket wheels should be diagon
ally braced in usual manner.
Both pumps In engine-room should be
connected with boiler through feed water
heater. Wells for pump supply should be
about 18x24 Inches, fitted with IK -Inch air
pipe. Solid deck should be provided in en
gins-room Instead of grating on account or
dirt tailing on engines below.
Better cylinder lubricators for steam
pumps should be provided.

pr.mTT.TATt MT. TAB0E LAWSUIT
T. C. Shreve Brings Suit Before Him
self as Justice.
There Is a peculiar situation in the
Mount Tabor Justice of the Peace Court,
of -which T. C Shreve was recently ap
pointed Justice by the County Court, as
revealed by the papers just filed In a
civil case In this court. T. C. Shreve,
real estate dealer and member of tho
firm of Stevens & Shreve, begins suit for
T. C. Shreve to recover 515 alleged to be
due himself and this firm' from Mrs. M.
Elston for the sale of a lot In Klnzel
Park for $230. In other words, the suit
is brought before the junior member of
this firm, which is the plaintiff in the ac
tion, and if it should be tried out the
Justice would have to decide for or
against himself.
H. B. Dickinson Is the attorney for the
plaintiff and D. M. Donaugh attorney for
the defendant, Mrs. Elston. It Is set
forth. In the papers filed In Justice
Shreve's court that this $15 for commis
sion Is due the firm of Stevens & Shreve.
and that none has been paid. It Is hard
ly probable that Justice T.'C. Shreve will
be allowed to decide the suit of T. C
Shreve, the real estate dealer, as the
law -will .not allow a Justice or Judge to
sit in judgment on his own .ease, or In a
case In which he Is In any way inter
ested. Attorney Donaugh will ask for a
change of venue, as he Is fearful T. O.
Shreve, the Justice, could not give an un
biased decision In a-case in which T. C
Shreve. the real estate man, is one of the
plaintiffs.

Heels of
New Rubber
Why Is It that your neighbor wears rub
bar heels and you do not?
A lady recently ra marked: "I'wsJ
them because I cannot afford time for an
afternoon nap."
Eminent scientists prove the-wisdom of
this statement: Between housework and
shopping the average woman lifts over a
million pounds with her feet dally
demand on the energy which calls for tha
refreshment of sleep or the application of
new rubber cushions to the heels of shoes
Perhaps you do not wear them becausa
this has not occurred to you.
There are other reasons: economy of
footwear, the nerves are comforted, and
nature furnished cushion heels longbefors
shoemakers made shoes.

"When I began taking Dr. Miles'
Restorative Nervine and Anti-Pain
Pills I was conflrTcd to my bed. I
had severe nervous spells, the result
of two years Ulnes3 with malaria. I
gradually grew so weak that I was
unable to sit up. The spells would
commence with cold chills, and I
would become weak and almost help
less. My circulation was poor. I
had doctored right along but grew
weaker and weaker. The Nervine
seemed to strengthen me right away
and my circulation was better. T have
taken in all seven bottles of the
Nervine, and I am entirely welL"
