1ST CONSERVE
STATE'S TIMBER
Judge Bean Learns Object
Lesson on Trip to the
Atlantic Coast.
SEES NEED FOR RESERVES
JCuthless Destruction of Forests
Means Devastating Spring Floods.
Was Delegate to Gover
nors' Convention.
. SALEM. Or., July 6. ( Special.) "I am
thoroughly convinced of the importance of
measures for the protection of our timber
and waterways. said Chief Justice Bean
today, upon his return from the Kast.
where he represented Oregon at the con
ference of states upon the subject of
conservation of natural resources.
"Orftgon is destined to be one of the
wealthiest states in the Linion. provided
it does not pursue a policy of wasteful
ness and neglect," he continued. "After
traveling through the East, observing the
conditions that exist there and listening
to the story of the experience of the old
sections of the country, one cannot help
bring impressed with the seriousness of
the problem that confronts us. This Is
a new and comparatively undeveloped
state. We are proud of our immense for
ests and our water powers. Yet it is
readily apparent that If we encourage de
velopment at the sacrifice of our forests
we shall eventually have neither timber
supply nor water power, but shall suffer
the evils of Spring floods sumilar to those
which spread devastation and ruin
through the valleys of the Ohio and other
streams of the East.
Converted to Reserve Policy.
"t'ntll recently I entertained some
doubts as to the real need of forest re
serves. . I am now finally convinced that
the creation 01 forest reserves was one of
the most Important events In the history
of this state. The East is today bewail
ing the loss of Its timber resources. When
trees were plentiful they were cut and
used wastefully. There was no effort to
protect the younger growth or to en
courage reforestation. As a consequence
the hillB and mountains that formerly
bore heavy forests are now bare. Down
the unprotected slopes the water from
rapidly melting snow pushes in torrents,
overflowing river banks, destroying farms,
and flooding cities. The people did not
realize until too late what would be the
consequences of the policy they were per
suing. "The same experience awaits us if we
follow a similar course. The deep snow
in our mountains Is protected by heavy
forests and it nfelts slowly. As it melts
the water is held by the roots, the moss
end the porous soil. It finds Its way grad
ually to the lower streams and as a con
sequence we have slight Spring freshets
and a fairly good flow of water at all
seasons. I,et our forests be removed and
all this will he changed. Then we shall
have overflowing rivers In the Spring and
dry river beds In the Summer.
State Xeeds Water Laws.
"All the people of the state have an
Interest In preventing here a repetition
of the experience of the East. We must
see that only mature timber Is cut. that
young trees are permitted to grow and
that burned-over aeras are protected so
that new forests may spring up. By
careful adherence to such a policy we
shall always have timber and water
power.
"1 am impressed, also, with the need
of legislation regulating the acquirement
and enjoyment of the right to use water
power. Laws should be enacted without
delay securing to the state the control
of water powers and vesting in the state
authority to derive a revenue from the
use of water for power development pur
poses." Speaking generally of his trip to the
East. Judge Bean said that so far as he
could observe business conditions seemed
to be good and yet he heard many people
remark that there were lots of men out
of work. He also observed many empty
and apparently Idle boxcars along tha
lines over which he traveled.

HAVE GREAT HOPES
Fans Look Forward to Series
With the Seals.
SPECULATE ON PITCHERS
Manager McCredle Will Give Out Xo
Ln formation Regarding Those He
Is Dickering For Groom and
Willis in Boxes Likely.
With six points separating them from
the Los Angeles present time leaders of
the Pacific Coast League, the Portland
ball-tossers will open a four-weeks
stretch at home commencing "with a six
game series with the San Francisco club
this afternoon. Walter McCredie and his
somewhat crippled bunch will arrive in
Portland this morning, providing of
course that the Espee is gracious enough
to bring the train through without any
unnecessary delays, and this afternoon
the husky swat artists will discard their
blue road uniforms for the white home
lot costumes, and endeavor to cheer the
hearts of their, enthusiastic admirers by
trouncing the Seals most roundly.
The task of administering severe beat
ings to the San Francisco club Is by no
means assured, but once returned to their
own bailiwick, the Portland boys can be
depended upon to give the invaders a
rousing battle, for the diamond suprem
acy. With the utmost joy the fans recol
lect the last visit of the Seals, for on that
memorable occasion Portland rose up and
trimmed Danny Long's braves ln five of
the seven games played. Four of these
battles went several extra innings, but
the long wait was more than pleasing to
Fandom because victory perched on the
homo banner ln each instance.
Considerable speculation Is being In
dulged in by the. fans over the probability
of one or more new slab artists making
their appearance before tho loyal Port
land baseball cranks. One of these men,
Pitcher Graney, formerly with Cleveland
and Columbus, is expected to report in
Portland by Friday of this week at the
latest. However, this Is contingent on
his having left Columbus for Portland on
Saturday or Sunday, but, as far as known
here, his departure has not bsen heralded
to McCredle.
'
This afternoon's battle between the
home team and the Seals will start at
the usual week-day hour, and the oppos
ing twirlers will probably be Bobby
Groom and Ralph Willis. Groom per
formed so well on the Fourth of July
that the local fans anticipate a similar
performance today.
.
The San Francisco team is coming
North without the services of Outfielder
Henderson, whom Danny Long secured
from Winnipeg ln exchange for Larry
Piper, for the new man proved a hitless
wonder when pitted against the clever
twirlers of this league; In place of Hen
derson, Curtis Is to be played regularly
until some new talent expected from
the East joins the Seal brigade. San
Francisco is reported to have added three
new players who will join Its lineup ln
the near future, and these men are said
to be the San Francisco end of a bargain
for the services of Roily Zeider, who is
to play out the rest of this season with
Danny Long. Just which American or
National League club has secured Zeider
has not been announced, and in soma
quarters of the Bay City, the deal has
been denied. Nevertheless. Zeider is too
valuable a player to be left subject to
the usual draft next October, and it is
quite likely that some deal has been
made whereby the San Francisco club
will profit more than in permitting his
services to be annexed in that manner.
Manager McCredle will be besieged on
all sides today, for the anxious fans de
sire to know the identity of his new
pitchers, but unless he has the men safely
landed, and on the way. it Is doubtful
if Mac will gratify their desires.
Umpire Jack O'Connell returns with the
teams, and at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon
will start them off on the second home
series of the season. The fans will be
out in rorce today, so get in the game and
follow the crowds to Vaughn street.

(Eastern Magazine Writer of Note)
IN PACIFIC MONTHLY FOR JUNE
Chicago's Tremendous Growth, Following Directly Upon the Development of the Great Packing Industry,
. Suggests What the Plant on the Peninsula The Union Meat Company Is to Mean to Portland.
(Extracts from "Wanted Two Million Hogs," by Forrest Crissey. An article that
Here before me was a man in the vigor of
life who was about to tell me, from his own
recollection, of the days when- this Immense
Industrial structure (Chicago Packing Town)
did not even exist as a dream in the mind of
man. Here was a huge industrial entity reach
ing its tentacles of trade literally to the "ut
termost parts of the earth" a single creature
of material activity, which, more than any other
one thing, has lifted Chicago from a sprawling
village of 20,030 inhabitants to the second city
of the continent.
"Yes," reflectively observed Mr. Ward, as he
wheeled his chair about, "It's hard to believe
that all this great thing outside here has sprung
up since I began to earn my way ln the world.
But it's a fact. All you have to do is to see It
and hear It to know that it's one of the biggest
and llvest things on earth. ..... They
(Chicagoans) don't realize that the plain truth
of the matter is that the yards and the packing-houses
are what have made Chlemsro, and
done a mlgfety quick iob of tfce makiacl It's
only by grasping what the animal Industry has
accomplished in a few years for Chicago that
any other city can possibly realise what the
establishment of great packing plants and sell
ing yards are bound to mean to it. Can you
name a single place where a practical packing
outfit has ever started up a plant on a modern
line and on a modern scale that the business
hasn't grown beyond all calculation and the
olty expanded like dried apples ln hot water?
Look at Omaha, Kansas City, Fort Worth. St
Joe. and all the rest of 'em! Packing plants
are the sure city-builders, and no mistake!"
"And still yon can recall the time when the
packing industry was unheard of and the cat
tle business was "
"On a haud-to-mouth basis," Interrupted the
commission man. "Certainly I can recall It
Fact is. It seems only yesterday when I sat in
the old home schoolhouse, back on the Federal
road, in Ohio, and watched drove after drove
of cattle and hogs and sheep being tirlven past
to Philadelphia and the other Eastern markets.
And they came from Illinois and away West,
too! Generally a man walked ahead and led a
steer by a halter and the rest followed'.
"At the rear would ride two or three men,
depending on the size of the drove.
"This sort of thing was going on all over
the country, and much of the stock was liter
ally fattened on the way. I recall one rich sec
tion of pasturage not so very far from my boy
hood home where thousands of animals from
the West were halted over the whole season and
put into condition for the 'home stretch' on
to the final market.
"But there wasn't any market ln the sense,
in which there is today. The drover who had
brought his stock one hundred, two hundred,
three hundred, five hundred or even a thousand
miles wac Just as likely to find the market where
he had expected to sell so glutted that he could
only dispose of his anlmal3 at a ruinous price.
Of course the expedient was open to him of
moving on to the next nearest big market or
taking his animals a little back into the coun
try, to good pasturage, and keeping them there
until he could peddle "them out at something
like a living price. If this was done once ft
was done a thousand times! Those were the
days when the livestock business was about as
uncertain as playing the races. Today it's the
most certain and even business I know of
and what has made the difference? The pack
ing slants! A free ' and open market every
day Jn the year for cash! .....
"Agaln. there was the question of getting
your money after the sale was made. It Was
all a question of individual credit then and
the seller had to make the credit for himself
and take his chances. Oh! the world has moved
on several pegs since then, and now cattle, hogs
and sheep, are as good as cash. And all the
credit Is due to' the packers. . . . . That's
what took the meat trade from a perishable,
block-to-mouth basis and made lta storage
buslnees."a keeping business, a surplus-carrying
business.
"The community that can attract the activi
ties of any of the big packers and get a modern
plant located in its territory is doing more for
Itself than It can well realize."
When this veteran of the stockyards had fin
ished. I turned to the man who enjoys the dis
tinction, at the yards, of having been closer to
the late Gustavus F. Swift than any other man
now living, and said:
"Mr. Leavitt, yon don't think that Mr. Louis
Swift and his associates of the Union Meat Com
pany are overshooting the mark ln making such
an immense outlay for a big packing plant at
Portland, Oregon?"
"That isn't a thing for me to discuss and I
decline to discuss it," he answered, "but of
course I don't think anything of the kind. In
some regions where plants are established the
animal Industry Is more flrmljr rooted and more
widely developed than In others but depend
upon It the merits of any region have been
sifted to the bottom and the horoscope of its
Industrial future cast with a far-seeing eye
before the huge Initial Investment Involved ln a
modern packing plant Is decided upon! And
as to tho big Portland enterprise, of course
that is not a new proposition. It has been tried
out for several years, and has long since passed
the experimental stage. However, I'm not dis
cussing Portland: all I want to do Is to em
phasise the point that no leader In an Industry
as solid, as highly organised and as conserva
tively conducted as the packing business Is
going to go Into an enterprise involving the
expenditure of millions unless the situation ab
solutely and completely justifies It."
To complete the triangle of my interview, I
went to the office of Lou1s F. Swift, president
of Swift tc Co., who Is vitally interested ln tha
Union Meat Company.
."Yes," admitted Mr. Swift, "It is true that
the Union Meat Company Is going to erect a
big modern packing plant on the extensive acre
age secured near Portland, at the intersection
of the North Bank Road and the line of the
Oregon Railroad A Navigation Company, on the
Peninsula. This we regard as an Ideal location.
"Tha Union Meat Company has for some years
had abattoirs and yards at Troutdale, about
twenty miles from Portland. The business done
by this plant has been substantial and quite
satisfactory under the existing conditions. In
fact, the company has become one of the largest
slaughterers on the Pacific Coast. Last year
they slaughtered at the Troutdale plant about
BO. 000 cattle, 50,000 hogs and 75,000 sheep, be
sides operating factories for the manufacture
of the various by-products, including glue and
commercial wool.
"Of course it Is expected that this volume
of business will be greatly exceeded by that
of the new plant. In fact. It seems only natural
and reasonable to expect that the else of last
year's business will prove to be only a well
defined 'indication' of the livestock industry of.
that North Pacific region when carefully devel
oped undur really favorable circumstances and
adequate conditions and facilities.
"The rapid strides in packing-house construc
tion which have taken place In late years, to
the end of meeting the highest standards ln
sanitation, have Influenced us quite as much as
other considerations ln a decision ' to abandon
the old plant and put up a new one which shall
be as Ideal ln its construction and all Its ap
pointments as It Is ln Its location.
"Again, I oonfees to the feeling that there
Is not a more alert, progressive and hustling
people on the face of the earth than this peo
ple of the Pacific Coast, and that the best of
anything is none too good for them.. Anything
short of the best is not up to the' standard
which they have set for themselves and which
they maintain with rare energy and fidelity.
This is the kind of people which inspires faith
on the part of a nonresident who Is responsible
for the Investment or the non-Investment of
large sums ln an enterprise which means much
to them as well as to Its owners and manage
ment. "Where there Is so much alertness, so much
energy, so much acumen and keen business ap
plication, there Is little likelihood that any ma
terial opportunity Is going to escape its nor
mal development or pass unrecognized. Again,
where this Is the spirit, one feels that there
- Is a sense of loyalty and steadfastness which
will stand the test ln a time of trial. All these
considerations go to make up the impression
that the people of the Pacific Coast will rise
to meet any opportunity. This Is a most im
portant consideration ln this particular case, for
the reason that to bring this Industry up to
the standard to which we are building will
require a certain change ln the industrial habits
and practices of the people, a certain co-operation
without which the measure of expansion
and success at which we are aiming can scarce
ly be attained.
"For example, I dare say that the State of
Oregon is at present compelled bo bring from
every Oregonian will want to read.)
the Eastern states over seventy-five per cent of
the pork products consumed by Its people
while Oregon itself abounds In good farming,
agricultural country. There Is no reason in the
world why. with a guarantee of the big open
market and steady demand for pork products
by the existence of the new packing plant, tho
farmers of Oregon should not raise all. ' and
more than all, tha hogs used ln their state.
"And this leads me to place emphasis on an
expression which I have Just used: mm epea
market. Arrangements have been made with
the preser.t owners of the Portland Union Stock
Yards to establish a public livestock market
near the packing-house location. What Is the '
result of this? Every farmer of that region
who wishes to raise livestock can do so ln the
absolute certainty that he will nnd a cash mar
ket right at home for his stock any day he
chooses to ship It. He can always get the full
market value for his offerings, any and every
day ln the year. This opportunity has never
before occurred in that territory.
"The meaning and possibilities of

. has marvelous rapacities of expansion. It Is one
of those propositions where the possibilities are
so great that it is difficult to say: 'It will go
thus far and no farther.' Certainly we have
every reason to believe that the trade of this
gateway to tho Orient and to Alaska Is bound
to be large and progressive. Enough is already
known about it to demonstrate that the pro
gressive packers can no longer afford to haul
stuff from Eastern plants; it must be handled
on the Pacific Coast to come within the lines
of economy and sound business practice."
The enterprise, on the ground, will be ln
charge of C. C. Colt, who Is president of tho
Union Meat Company,
Whatethe livestock, packing and allied Indus
tries have done for Chicago will neve,r be told
ln specific figures. To attempt It would be like
trying to figure out what sun and rain have
done for the wheat crops of the Dakotas. But
there are some figures whloh are certaily Il
luminating and intensely suggestive to those
who read between the lines when the characters
used are numerals. The sum paid by these allied
Chicago Industries in a year ln wasts and sal
aries Is twenty-five millions of dollars. This
helps some to see what the animal Industries
have done for Chicago, doesn't It?
And this is only a beginning! There Is no
way of estimating how vast a sum'they expend
eVery year for materials of every sort.
Take a view of the question from another
angle: how about the trade, the money which
a great . livestock and packing center brings to
a city. Well, fully five hundred thousand per
sons visit the Chicago stockyards every year.
Probably the number " is really greater than
this, for it Is a matter of record that four hun
dred thousand attend the great National Live
stock Exposition. How much do these visitors
spend while in Chicago? That isn't an easy
question to answer in a positive way. But those
who have come in contact with these visitors
every year and know them "right down to the
ground" are able to make a very shrewd and
reasonable estimate of what that amount
must be.
Such an estimate was figured out for me ln
the office of the president of the Union Stock
Yards & Transit Company and the amount is
twenty-live million dollars. At first this seems
Impossible.
"It's only fifty dollars apiece." was the quiet
suggestion. "Of course, many come ln who do
. not spend more than ten dollars but there are
comparatively few who go below that figure.
On the other hand, it should be remembered
that a very great number of these visitors are
stockmen who come in with carloads and even
trainloads of stock, for which they receive the
cash.
"In many cases the stay in the city covers
two or three weeks, for the stockman and his
family. All these considerations go to make
an average expenditure of fifty dollars a visitor
look decidedly reasonable. However, you may
cut the total of 125,000,100 down to 115,000,000
and still have about as big a sum as the aver
age man can appreciate."
It certainly does look as If a big packing
and livestock Industry Is a good thing for the
city and the territory which Is chosen as its
location!

GIVES UP TRIP TO DALLAS
Governor Kept at Capital Because of
Absence of Secretary Benson.
SALEM. Or.. July 6. (Special.) Gover
nor Chamberlain has abandoned his in
tention to go to Dallas, Tex., to attend
the session of the Grand Lodge of Elks.
Secretary of State Benson has been called
to California on business, and Governor
Chamberlain does not think It proper that
both he and the Secretary should be ab
sent from the state at the- same time.
The question has never been settled
whether absence of the Governor consti
tutes a disability to perform his official
duties, but as a matter of precaution,
care has always been taken that both the
Governor and Secretary shall not be out
of the state at the same time, for it is
desired that some one be at the Capital
ready to sign papers in case of an im
portant emergency.
