'5 MAY- GET OT PACKING HOUSES Portland.in Position to Become Center ofthe Industrjy ' on This Coast ARMOURS SEEKING A SITE ImmciibC Cattle - Raising; Country Tributary to City Gives It Great - Advantages "Which Big Packers Appreciate. From' developments -within the last two weeks many who are closely following the industrial growth of Portland are led to believe that this city is destined to be come the greatest packing-house center west of Omaha. They believe that Port land will eventually become a second Chi cago in this industry, and develop into a distributing point for the West and Alas lea, the same as those other two cities' are to the East and Middle West, As has been published in The Oregonian. it Is'known positively that Swift & Co., of Chicago, will erect a large packing-house in Portland, and a persistent rumor is afloat that other of the big packing com panies are seeking a foothold in Port land. The report that Swift & Co. will not be the only company to establish a mammoth abattoir in Portland Is not wholly without foundation, as negotiations are now on between certain agents and the owners of large tracts of land adja cent to this city. lit Is mot known who these agents rep resent, other than that they are with a large concern, and it is thought that they are here in the interest of another of the big packing companies. The recognition accorded Portland as a distributing center by Swift & Co. -is thought to have aroused the activity of the other packers who for several years have been looking toward the West In contemplation of the extension of their "business. Swift & Co. having taken the first step, it Is not thought that the other companies who have had Portland In view will hesitate longer. In fact. It Is believed by some that there will, be a race as to which will first be In Ihe field equipped for business. While no confirmation has been made, it is common rumor that the Armours will follow close upon the heels of Swift & Co. In the es tablishment of packing-houses in Port land. The abattoir which Swift & Co. will .build Jn Portland will be the biggest packing-house in the West without an excep tion. It will be one of the largest and most up-to-date establishments of its kind in the United States, and will rank in the same class with the packing-houses which have made Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha and St. Joseph famous. Race for Establishment. When work will begin upon the erection of the buildings is a matter of conjecture, but it Is not thought that there will be any considerable delay. If two or more companies seek an entrance to Portland, it will undoubtedly be a race to see which one is the first in becoming established. It is generally admitted that Portland is a logical location for packing-houses, and tnly the intervention of unforeseen difficulties- could Prevent It from becoming an Immense packing-house center. It is almost in the midst of probably the great est cattle districts in the world, the ranges of Eastern Oregon and Washing ton and Idaho being surpassed by none, and this is an important factor that has to be considered by the packer in seeking a location. Montana and Wyoming are great livestock sections, and when a packlqg-house is built here, will be tribu tary to Portland. SThe trade of the Orient is assuming vast proportions, and the possibilities In this line for the future have caused the packers to take notice. They know that, unless they come to the Northwest, they will lay themselves open to competition which might greatly interfere .with their Western business. Meat for the Orient. Most of the meat that goes to the Ha waiian Islands, the Philippines and China and Japan Is raised on the plains of the Northwestern States. The cattle and sheep arc sent to the packing-bouses In the Middle West States, where they are slaughtered and the prepared meat Is then shipped back to the Northwest to be sent to the Orient. To shut out new competition and work up a trade with the Orient such as the LEASING THE NATION'S RANGES A Possible Solution That May Settle a Vexa tious Problem and Finally Bring Peace. 7TP GREAT awakening as to public duty " and public advantage in the steward ship and husbandry of the properties of the - Nation is evident everywhere. Old laxity and catch-as-catch-can methods are fast passing. Extension and oversight of- forest reserves constitute one proof. The Reclamation Service is another. Present attempts to have the timber and stone act repealed are yet one more. JNow, effort to have the un claimed public domain managed and put to beneficial use through the asso ciation of the forestry department, with private enterprise and organizations, claims consideration and approval. The plan of governing the range pre pared by the stockmen's committee from the Colorado associations, presented at tho Denver meeting yesterday, and dis cussed with Mr. Pinchot there, has several original features. Hitherto one has seen the ranges a no-man's-land, accessible to all stock which could be driven to share Its bounties, even at tho risk of private war. No boundaries, except those made by the necessities of .man. horse, cattle on- sheep, bave been fixed. The seasons largely-fcontrolled and prescribed Its ten ants. Custom and water rights limited the stock that could be carried. The con stitution governing the ranges has been of unwritten law, but observance has. as a4-ule, .been strict. So far as the Nation is concerned, the tenure of this great do main has been at will. The homestead settler could. If and wbencver and wher ever he chose, push his wagon, with his family goods, to what open quarter sec tion he selected, and there take root. After the primal tent or cabin the next structure was tho wire fence deathblow to tho essence of the open range. In self-defense the stockmen fenced In turn, they extended their bounds bypur clmso or assignment, they bought""land carrying riparian rights and fenced up river, creek, spring and -waterhole, and could then afford to take chances for their cattle or sheep on the unfenced, but trib utary. Government open land. So it has been in Oregon, so in Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Colorado. Into this medley of disorderly order it was needful that orderly order should be Introduced. This task seems specially con genial to President- Roosevelt .and ids -r - opportunity afforde, the packing .-companies have come to. realise that they must eliminate the great expense -of shipping the stock to the Middle West and the canned and cold-storage meats back to the starting points. POLICE HORSES WORN OUT Acting Chief Says Animals Sliould - Be Shot. Nine horses of the mounted squad and four used in patrol-wagon serv ice, are in a pitiable condition, and every time they arc taken from the barn -tho city is guilty of cruelty to animals, according to Acting Chief of Police Grltzmacher. lie declares that all the beasts should be shot and put out of their misery, but because he is not In a position to purchase others to equip the department, he is using the utmost care, and in this manner manages to keep up the work. For a long time policemen have' been commenting on the pitiable con dition of the faithful animals, all of which arc old and have served out their years of usefulness. A strong attachment exists- botween the mon and the horses, the latter having an affection for the officers almost hu nan. indignation prevails among members of the department over the situation. "Not one of the horses should be used at all." said Chief Grltzmacher. "They are old and crippled and should be retired. It is with great difficulty that the mounted squad is kept in service, and the four horses used in the patrol-wagon service are equal ly bad. It is cruelty to animals" every time they are taken out and made to work. I have to get along with them, however, because of the peculiar man ner Jn which the appropriation for the department was made by the City Council. These items are all specified, and the appr6prlation Is proportioned so that none of it can bo used for tho purchase of new horses." The mounted policemen report per sonally to Chief Grltzmacher every afternoon at roll-call now, stating the condition of the horses under their care, and every officer has a pitiful story to tell. Owing to the condition of the animals, the large areas' of ter ritory allotted to each ofllccr are most difficult to cover with the wornout horses, and the service is thereby Im paired. - Chief Grltzmacher also laments the fact that the appropriation cuts down the force, where he hoped to add to It, and the East Side sub-station proj ect is knocked out because only $J50 was provided for a patrol-wagon serv ice across the river, although $9500 was asked for the establishing of a station. As there will be no station there, a wagon will not bo needed. It is thought perhaps the Council might consent to the use of the JDCO for the purchase of some new horses. Customs Official Removed. NEW YORK. Jan. 3L Robert N. Kitch ing, a wool examiner employed in the Appraiser's stores at the Custom-House, was yesterday ordered removed by Secre tary Shaw because of the Treasury De partment's dissatisfaction with his official conduct. Wool merchants last month charged that in his examination of wool imports he favored consignments to mem bers of his family, who are customs brokers and woolsellers. Mr. Kitchlng had opportunity to make a "defense, but failed to satisfy Secretary Shaw. The position is under the Civil Service, and will be filled by appointment. Mr. Kitch lng, who is 70 years old, was appointed in 18S9. Last year he passed upon $40,000,- 000 worth of wool yarns, goat and sheep- skins. His salary was J2500 a year. Xorth Weary of Cotton "Wrangle. WASHINGTON. Jan. 31. Having taken notice of the criticisms of his office by President Harvie Jordan, of the Southern Cottongrowers' Association, and others. Director North, of the Census Bureau, today declared that he hoped Congress would relievo him of all further work in connection with cotton statistics. "It Is the most disagreeable and annoy ing work I have ever known, said Mr. North today. "These reports are got up for the benefit of the Southern people, but they seem to be devoting all their energies toward discrediting them." Will of Rich Suicide. CHICAGO. Jan. 31. The will of E, Crane Wilson, whose dead body was found near Colorado Springs several weeks ago, was filed for probate here to day. The estate Is valued at SS10.000. The property Is divided among four relatives, the will containing a statement that Mrs. Ella H. Wilson, wife or the testator, had been provided for by a sum of money left in trust for her. Parcel Post Treaty With Sweden. STOCKHOLM, Jan. 31 An agreement providing for the establishment of parcel post at cheap rates between Sweden and the United States "has been concluded. It becomes effective tomorrow. chosen aids. In handling the pasture of the forest reserves, they have plainly striven to adapt and incorporate, to in weave and apply all usable parts of the customs and regulations under which men lived, rather than to create and enforce what was entirely new. The same spirit inspired Mr. Pinchot at Denver yesterday, when dealing with the stockmen's com mittee. The committee brought to him two ideas. The one of leasing open Government land to prlvato individuals, subject to regula tion as to character, number and condi tion of tho stock, at rentals to be agreed on and for spoclfled terms, shows no es sential novelty. The same plan, as I un derstand; has been for many years in use in the "squatters' " leases in ahe Austra lian colonies of Great Britain. There ad justment has been needed and applied be tween the squatters' rights and those of the Incoming bomcstcader. This has. doubtless, been provided in the Colorado plan. The other idea, that of community rule, is a striking instance of the invasion of associated rights and privileges In a re gion hitherto specially given up to the In dividual. The stockmen, proposing to handle anlong them the open lands of a district, have, first of all, to obtain from the Government control for certain terms of years and at a fixed rent. To do this an association must first be formed and recognized, with a directorate constituted of the presidents .and secretaries of the single or composite organization. To this board of control the forest supervisor of the containing district is called, and there he represents the Interested owner of tho land, tho United States. For functions the board of control assumes to divide off the land In such fashion as is needful be tween tho Indli'idual members. It sees that the conditions-of the lease are kept, and holds its members to their individual responsibility to itself directly. Peace on the ranges will ensue, as will peace on the forest reserves. It may be that-in ultimate analysis the authority of the Federal Government is advanced an other step. A new class, or rather two new classes, of joccuplcrs tributary to the Government are created. The Jurisdiction of a department Is extended far and wide. Why not? What other authority has the mixed power and influence whereby this beneficent adjustment should result? " TVALLIS NASH.

WORK WILL NOT LAG "See-America-First" Conven tion in Portland. CALLED FOR FEBRUARY 15 Delegates From States or the Pacific Xorthwcst "Will Attend Gather ing "Under Auspices of . v Commercial Club. Realizing- that Portland and Oregon would receive as much, and perhaps more, benefit than any other city and state in tho country should American tourists travel to see the scenic beauties and won ders of their own land before going abroad, the Portland Commercial Club is taklns an active part in bringing about that condition of affairs. Although the Salt Lake "See America First" conven tion was held only a few days ago, Tom Richardson, manager of the Commercial Club, ha? announced that a similar meet ing will be held In Portland on February 15. The meeting to be held here will not be eo large as the Salt Lake convention, as It Is only intended to embrace the states of the Northwest. Delegates from the principal cities of Oregon. Washington and Idaho are expected to attend, and it is thought that some plan of campaign will be mapped out ao that the commer cial organization? can pull together In boosting the scenic bcautle? of the Pa cific Northwest. R. L McCbrmlck. of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, of Tacoma. who is a member of the executive committee of the "Seeing America League." will pre side as chairman. David Starr Jordan, of the Stanford University, another member of the executive committee, will be ex tended a special Invitation to attend. The other members of the executive commit tee are: T. B. Walker, of Minneapolis; D. It. Francis, president of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition: Dr. Nathan C. Schaeffer. president of the National Edu catlona Association, which meets in San Francisco July S-13, inclusive, and Irvlns Howbcrt. of Colorado Springs. On February 13 the meetings will be THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL Few reople Know Row Csefal It Is la' rte- servlax Health aad Beaaty. Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the safest and most efficient disin fectant and purifier In nature, but few realize Its value when taken Into the human system for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you take of It the better; It Is not a drug at all. but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present In' the stomach and Intestines and carries them out of the system: Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and Improves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels: It disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best char coal and the most for the money Is In Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges: they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics In tablet form or rather In the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey. The dally use of these lozenges, will soon tell In a much Improved condition of the general health, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it Is. that no possible barm can result from their continued use, but on the con trary, great benefit. A Buffalo physician In speaking- of the benefits of charcoal, says: "I advise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bow els, and to clear the complexion and purify" tho breath, mouth and throat; I also believe the liver Is greatly benefited by the dally use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drugstores, and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet I believe I get more and better charcoal In Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets." (1 - A . . held in the afternoon and night. In the parlors of the Portland Commercial Club. The most prominent speakers in the Northwest will address the assemblage, and an effort will be made to enthuse the people over the wonderful gifts Nature has bestowed upon the Northwest. The meeting will bo very Important, and It Is thought that It will accomplish an immense amount of good In the gen eral movement to exploit the attractive ness of America from a tourist's stand point. Mr. Richardson has not even given out a tentative programme as yet. as he Is anxious to consult with Mr. McCor mick, who will preside as chairman. CALLS DYING BACK TO LIFE Doctor Gives Illustrations of Power of Suggestion. NEW YORK, Jan. 31. That, at the mo ment of death, the .quality of suggesti bility is at Its maximum, and ' that through hypnotic suggestion patients given up by physicians may be brought back to life, is the latest discovery of Dr. John D. Quackenbos, as announced at "A Metaphysical Evening." held by the En tertainment Club last night. Dr. Quackenbos cited an instance where last Juno he said that he saved the life of a patient who bad been given up by the physicians. "Her condition." he said, "was the same as a death sentence temperature 1071-7. pulse 160. respiration 60 and the attend ing physicians had withdrawn from the case as beyond the pale of hope." He stood by tho woman's bedside and said: "Adele, you cannot die. Come back. You have work to do on earth. Do not dare to say It Is too late. Assume imme diate control of your physical function, and get well." "Gradually the mental mist cleared away." said the doctor. "The physical strength returned, and today the girl Is perfectly well. "In two other cases," continued the doc tor, "moribund patients, one a Judge of prominence, were recalled from death by shouting in the ear at the moment of dis solution a command to return. The method would further avail In many cases of drowning, of shock, poisoning by gas. and narcotic drugs. We are literally on How to Exercise the Bowels Your Intestines arc lined Inside with millions of little suckers, that draw the Nutrition out of food as it passes them. But, if the food passes too slowly, it decays before it gets through. Then the little suckers draw Poison from it instead of Nutrition. This Poison makes a. Gas that injures your system more than the food should have nourished It. You see, the food is Nourishment or Poison, Just according to how long it stays in transit. The usual remedy for this delayed passage (called Constipation) is to take a big dose of Castor Oil. Thi3 merely make slippery the passage for unloading the current cargo. It does not help the Cause of delay a trifle. Itdoes slacken the Bowel-Muscles more than ever, and thus weakens them for their next task. Another remedy is to take a strong Cathartic. like Salts, Calomel. Jalap, Phos phate of Sodium, Aperient Water, or any of these mixed. What does the Cathartic do? It merely flushes-out the Bowels with a. waste of Digestive Juice, set flowing into the Intestines through the tiny suckers. But, the Digestive Juice we waste in doing this today is needed for tomorrow's natural Digestion. We cannot' afford to lose it. That's why Cascarets are the only safe medicine for the bowels.
