One of tho most important Issues to
pome before the convention of the Na
tional Livestock Association and Nation
al Woolgrowers Association, which con
vene in Portland in January, will be that
of securing the passage by Congress of
a bill providing for a census of agricul
tural statistics, including a classified cen
sus of livestock in the Unted States. The
gathering of this information every ten
years by the Government Is looked upon
as a matter of vital interest to the live
stock industries of the country, and It is
expected that a unanimous petition for the
passage of such a bill will be indorsed by
the associations, in convention assembled.
The bill providing for the agricultural and
livestock census was introduced at the
last session of Congress, but , was not
acted upon. The livestock men and wool
growers propose to take this matter up
tt the coming convention and make every
endeavor to have the bill passed during
the present session, that the first census
may be taken in 1505. A bulletin was Is
sued yesterday from local headquarters
of the convention committee, calling the
attention of every stockman to the im
portance of this proposed act, and urging
that be be in attendance upon tho con
vention, prepared to take action urging
Its passage.
Value to Stbckralsers.
In the eyes of those interested or en
gaged In stockralslng, the gathering of
the information desired would be of in
estimable value to not only the stockrais
ers, but to all other Interests identified
with those of the stockman. As for the
cost of this census, It is urged that the
returns in benefits will more than repay
the necessary expenditure to secure the
data. The further argument is made that
the Government is spending a large sum
of money each year to gather statistics
relative to the cotton-growing interests,
and that the plea of the stockmen is for
nothing more than equity in Government
statistics. For two years or more the
associations interested have endeavored
to have this bill passed by Congress. The
present session offers the last chance to
have it passed in time to secure the 1S0G
census, and those interested In the propo
sition do not propose to allow it to pass
without being improved. The bill which
the National lawmakers will be called'
upon to adopt is as follows:
Text of the BUI.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of
America, in Congress assembled, that, in ad
dition to the census now required by law to
be taken very ten years, there shall be taken
In the year 1005 anff every tenth ye'ar there
after a census -the statistics of agriculture.
Which shall show:
First The number of farms In the United
States, their values and their acreage.
Second A classified census of livestock, to
gether with their value.
Third The acre, quantity and value of cot
ton, corn, wheat, oats, rye. barley, buckwheat,
fcay, flax, rice and potatoes.
Section 2. That the Director of the Census
is hereby authorized aijd required to prepare
such schedules and to make such rules and
regulations and to submit such estimates as
may be necessary to carry this act into effect.
Cost of Cotton Census.
The bulletin issued yesterday calling at
tention to this bill and urging its support
is entitled "Livestock -vs. Cotton." No
tice is directed to the fact that the Gov
ernment spends $100,000 each year in se
curing the cotton census or $1 for every
?3707 worth of the crop, "How does this
expenditure for the cotton census compare
with trie expenditures asked for by the
National Livestock Association?" tfsks the
bulletin. The answer to this Inquiry can
be seen in the following figures: The
value of domestic animals on farms in
1900 was $2,981,722,945. The value of the
products derived from these animals and
classified by the census as animal pro
ducts was $1,43U147,282 The value of the
staple crops, the census of which the Live
stock Association would connect with the
statistics of animals, was, in 1S99.
$2,514,453,447. The total of these amounts
makes the enormous aggregate of
$6,927,023,047. The cost of this census is es
timated at about $1,800,000. or $1 for every
$3848 of these Investments. When the
period of time Is taken into considera
tion, the cost of this census Is only one
sixth of that for the cotton product of
the South.
Value of the Census.
"In the discussion of the cotton census
in the "United States Congress," the bul
letin says, "no one has raised the ques
tion of exorbitant cost, or unjustified ex
penditure. The only discussion that has
there arisen is whether this expenditure
should be made by the CensuB Office or
by the Division of Statistics ofthe Ag
ricultural Department. The outlay of this
money for this product has been com
mended by every commercial and agri
cultural paper North, Souih ,East and
West. This has been done although more
and better statistics of cotton are avail
able outside of those by the census than
are in existence with reference to live
stock or any farm product other than
cotton. The business world checks the
cotton crop every year by accurate data
relating to its shipment by rail and boat.
This tan be done for no other product; of
the farm, and nothing parallel to It is
possible for the livestock on farms.
"Everyone In any way connected with
the livestock industry is familiar with the
unprecedented decline in value experienced
at market centers during the past 12
months. This decline was started by
manipulation In prices in the Interest of
e rporations, and after a time Tesolved
itself Into a panic, -when livestock was
rushed into market in numbers never be
fore experienced resulting In a lose of mil
lions of dollars to the livestock men. This
decline was -aided to a great degree "by
the uncertainty of the farmers and stock
men as to the supply existing in the coun
tryno data being available since 1900,
everything was at sea. Had it been pos
sible for the Government to advise the
country as to the number of head of cat
tle, sheep and swine in the country, by
careful estimates made from the census
of 1900. it would have to a great degree
prevented the catastrophe which has be
fallen this particular industry."
Accommodations for Visitors.
Preparations for the convention of the
livestock men. are proceeding apace. In
the matter of accommodations for the
visitors, lists of the rooming-houses and
hotels in the city that will bo available
aro being secured and an estimate will
bo made from them as to the exact num
ber of persons that can be housed in
them. If more room is found ' necessary,
other arrangements will have to be made.
Socrettiry Martin Is sending out invita
tions to the newspaper men in the live
stock districts, requesting that as many
as can be present during the convention.
State Association to Meet.

Livestock Association will be held in the

looking after the proposed livestock show
at tho Lewis and Clark Fair In 1905; sug
gesting any changes In the premium list
at the Oregon State Fair; to "encourage a
big livestock show In Portland in 1904, and
such other matters as may be brought be
fore the meeting.
THERE WILL BE NO BANQUET.
The New Line to St. Johns Hangs in
the Balance.
When the question of a new electric line
to St. Johns came before the property
owners of the Peninsula, many of them
came forward with encouraging offers of
assistance. Four land companies guar
anteed $20,000 of the $28,000 necessary to
complete the subsidy. It looked for a time
as though the deal would .be completed
before the first of the year. One of the
promoters felt so sure that the whole
amount would be raised by that time that
he announced that he would give a ban
quet to tho subscribers to the subsidy on
New Tear's evening If the subsidy was
completed before that date.
Some who had Intimated that they could
be depended on for assistance seem to
have concluded that they can get the ben
efits of the new line without subscribing
anything. This turn now threatens the
success of the whole enterprise. The new
company has arranged terms with the
Portland Eailway Company for the opera
tion of the new line, but that corporation
rIH put no money In the construction. If
any money Is paid out for rights of way,
it must come out of the pockets of the sub
scribers to the subsidy.
The movement is a popular one among
those who reside on tho Peninsula, and
warm blood is beginning to circulate
against the obstructionists. It is per
fectly plain that It will be many years be
fore the Peninsula will get another street
car line If this effort should fail. No com
pany would attempt to compete with the
old line unless as short a route could b
obtained. After this year it will be Im
possible to get a diagonal course similar
to tho one followed by the proposed line.
The distance between St. Johns and Port
land would be two miles greater by follow
ing tho streets than by the City & Subur
ban or by the proposed line.
It will only require about $2000 more to
complete the subsidy necessary for con
struction, but the cost of right of way
must be added to this amount. A few of
the larger property-owners are still hang
ing back. While the present outlook is
discouraging a change of front, by a few,
before the first of the year may save the
day for the new line.

VICTIM OF SENILE DECAY
DR. W. E. CARLL.SO CONSIDERS
JOHN R. FOSTER.
Nurse Testifies That Mrs. Savage At
tempted to Influence Her
Testimony.
At the hearing to determine the mental
condition of John R. Foster yesterday m
the County Court, .Mrs. Frost, who for a
long time acted as nurse for Mrs. Foster,
was called as a witness by W. D. Fenton,
attorney for the guardian, B. Q. White
bouse. She said Foster was very positive
in his manner, and she did not think he
was demented.
Counsel for the guardian also examined
Dr. W. E. Carll as a witness, and the
doctor testified that Foster is afflicted
with senile dementia. The furtherjiearing
of the case -has been continued until De
cember 18.
Mrs. Frost testified that Foster was
very much worried and he said he didn't
have as much money as people thought
he had. On December 6, 1902, the date of
Mrs. Foster's death, the witness said was
the day Foster signed the deed conveying
the quarter block at the corner of Seventh
and Yamhill streets to Mrs. Dora W.
Savage. Mrs. Foster, she said, died at
4:20 o'clock in the morning, and the deed
was signed at 10 o'clock. W. T. Mulr
acted as attorney In the case.
Mrs. Frost said that Foster remarked
that he didn't own the property; that It
had been taken by the city for a street
assessment. The lawyer, she said, la
formed Foster that the assessment only
amounted to $300 or $1000, and he said he
would sign the deed.
The witness testified further that before
Mrs. Foster was taken down with her ;
last Illness Mrs. Foster told her she had
given all of her property to the Savages,
and they wanted her to use her Influence
with "Uncle John" to get him to give
them part of his property, but she
wouldn't do it. MrB. Frost said she took
care of Mrs. FoBter during her last Illness,
and waB with her at other times when
she was sick covering a period of 12 years.
She stated that she had never heard Mr.
or Mrs. Savage refuse to let any one see'
John R. Foster, except when he was not
feeling well, and did not want to see
anybody. Mr. Fenton asked: "Didn't you
make the statement that Mrs. Savage did
not want any one to see Mr. Foster
alone?"
"I never knew them to feel that way
about It."
Concerning Foster's eyes, the witness
said she did not think there was so much
of a stare. She thought he looked that
way because he was thinking. If he
wanted a thing he was very firm about
I It, and equally so if he didn't want it;
sun ne was quiet and kind.
The witness called on Mr. Foster last
Tuesday.
Mr. Fenton Is his mind weakened?
"I dpn't think he Is demented."
Mr. Fenton I don't mean that he Is
demented, is his mind weakened?
The witness was uncertain about it.
The attorney next Inquired of the wit
ness If she had seen the Savages recontly,
and Mrs. Frost replied that she saw Mrs.
Savage the last time she called to see
Foster. Mrs. Savage told her not to say
anything to hurt her, and she answered
that she would speak the truth.
Mr. Fenton You had a feeling of dell-v
cacy about coming here at all as a wit
ness? "Yes."
"You are friendly disposed to both
parties?"
Mrs. Frost admitted that she was, and
continuing, said: "Mrs. Foster said a
great many things to me during the last
year of her life. Mrs. Savage said to
me: 'Well, Mrs. Frost, you ought to be
very careful what you say.' " The witness
said she responded that H. D -Sanborn
had heard many things and could tell
them.
Mrs. Frost was next Interrogated con
cerning a conversation she had with Mrs.
Savage in January last, after the suit to
set aside the deed was filed. She stated
Mrs. Savage, talking over the matter with
her, said: "A great many witnesses, peo
ple belonging to the best families In the
city, -ill be called to testify on my side,
and you had better not say anything
against us, or it will not be safe for you
to come on this side of the river. I said
I did not want to tell anything to hurt
them, but if subpenaed as a witness
would be compelled to tell the truth."
Mr. Cotton asked the wltnesson cross-
examination if H,
D. Sanborn was not
running around saying a great many
iijiiiba uiiu ii sue imu iiul uiitteu over uie
case with Mr. Fenton, and James Gleason,
attorney for the Foster heirs. She ad
mitted these things to be true.
The witness1 also said Miss Lizzie Say
age, beginning about two years prior to
the death of Mrs. Foster, lived in the
house taking care of the old folks, and
iney mougni a great ceai or ner. Mrs.
oayage aiways came in wnen tney were
SlCk. The Witness in conclusion told Of
.B. G. Whltehouse on last Tuesday con
gratulatlng Mr.
Foster on his improved
condition.
Dr. W. E. Carll, of Oregon City, said
he became acquainted with John R.
"Foster 13 years ago. They were mem
bers of the Scottish TUte Masons, served
on committees together, and grew to
know each other very well. The doctor
said Foster Impressed him as a bright
business man and he first noticed a
change In him four years ago. Ho didn't
appear at lodge meetings and on lnauirv
j Foster's friends said he was In a bad
way, was worrying and afraid ho waer
going to lose all his property and die in
the poorhouse, although the condition of
his property was all right.
Dr. Carll told of seeing Foster at various
umes aiierwarus ana onserving that he
was iauipg; -tie saia tnat ne visited him
',b "'
-J t -
-a
in June last. His physical and mental f
condition were not good. He .looked at mm
blankly, did not know him, asked bis
name several times, and seemed to be
suffering from senile dementia. The
doctor said that he visited Foster on
Friday. The tetter's condition had
changed since last June, but he did not
think the change was an improvement.
He was moi. irritable, and had a more
worried look. The witness said it was
more than the general breaking down
caused, by old age, and he still thought
Foster was suffering from senile de
mentia. If lef t alone Foster would eat
and sleep and so' on, and not attempt to
transact any business, but having been
so long in business and used to business
affairs, might sign a deed or paper me
chanically if it was presented to him.

Jaaska came here from Centralia and an
examination of his effects show that he

delphia, London, Liverpool & Globe In
surance Company and six others against
John Alleslna, which are la the nature of
cross bills, were stricken out yesterday by
Judge Cleland. The court held the same

answers of the companies to the suits filed
by Alleslna to recover $13,500' Insurance.
In the cross bills the companies under

MORE WORK AT COOS BAY.
Federal Engineers Find That
trance Is Shoaling.
En-
Further work will soon be necessary at
the entrance to Coos Bay unless the
present shoaling on tho bar at a recent
examination should not prove to be mere
ly temporary. The examination showed
but 17 feet depth on the crest of the bar
at mean low water mark.
Major W. C. Langfitt. Chief of United
States Engineers, in his annual report
says:
"Vessels which can cross tho bar can
pass up to Marshfield, the principal towp
on the bay, about 13 miles from the en
trance, but when fully loaded are some
what delayed by an obstructive shoal In
the channel opposite Pony Slough. Tho
maximum draft that could be carried
across the bar at mean low tide Jtjne 30,
1903, Is about 16 feet. The. mean rise
and fall of tide on Coos Bay bar is 4.S
feet.
"Tho expenditures during the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1903, were limited to car
ing for the Government plant used in the
work of construction in past years and
the transplanting df about 62 acres of
Holland grass roots on the north spit.
"A recommendation that the. funds
available be withhold owing to the rela
tively small amount and to the fact that
the depths contemplated by the project
had been obtained and fairly well main
tained, was approved.
"A recent examination snowed put 17

J whJch Is thus shown not prove tempo-
rary or Increase, further work will soon
be necessary. It Is hoped this will not
be the case.
"The funds available will therefore be
used for maintaining the present north

Works Bogus-Check Scheme.
NEW YORK, Dec 12. A man giving the
name of Gottman and bearing with him a
tale of domestic Infelicity," has found a
profitable field for the accumulation of
ready money among lawyers of the East
Side. Gottman's scheme was to visit a
lawyer and retain him in action for di
vorce, after telling of his troubles at
home. As a retainer he offered an ap
parently good check for $100 and asked, for
change, which always was forthcoming in
cash. Gottman never came back, but the
checks always did, and they were can
celed, by the bank. Gottman has not been
apprehended. He is supposed to have se
cured a large sum before the swindle was
exposed.
