Newspaper Page Texts THE SliXDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, JANUARY 5, 1908. WEALTH OF NATION Chief Source Is the Livestock Industry. BUSINESS IS ENORMOUS More Than $1,000,000 Worth Dis posed ot Daily at Chicago Yards Alone Needs of Market for : JJetter Foreign Relations. CHICAGO. Dec. 31. (Special.) Since llx') there has been marketed and sold In Chicago a yearly average of over 16, CW.OnO animals, exceeding $300,000,000 in value, or about one-half the total com bined receipts of the six principal live stdtk markets of the United States, which means that a daily average of over 1000 carloads of livestock of an average value exceeding J10i)0 per carload, or an average of more than Jl.000,000 worth of animals are disposed of every business day of the year on the Chicago livestock market. If to the above figures, representing the actual number and value of the animals received and sold on the Chicago live stock market, were added the enormous transactions of Packingtown, which might properly be done, the grand total would be a stupendous sum, representing a very large proportion of Chicago's business transactions during the year. The transactions on the livestock mar ket alone during the year more than doubled the tot il volume of business done on both sides of State street for the whole 12 miles of its length. The value of the hogs alone was more than double -that of the entire lumber trade of Chicago, and the cattle exceeded in value by many millions of dollars Chicago's total grain receipts, while the aggregate value of all the livestock received exceeded that of Chicago's wholesale trade In grain, lum ber and dry goods combined, although Chicago leadVthe world in all three lines of business. Importance to Labor. Fully 45,KX men are employed In the in dustries centered at the square mile occu pied by her stockyards and packing houses, which means that over one-tenth of Chicago's population get their living solely and directly from these two inter ests. Progressive agriculture has not only been the foundation of our advancement as a nation and the basis of our recent period of wonderful prosperity, but will also prove to be the mainspring of a suc cessful recoil from the present temporary financial depression, which may properly be regarded as only the result of an ef fort to lighten the Nation's financial load l- throwing out a lot of worthless secu rities and getting rid of a lot of harmful speculations that cling to the real ele ments of National wealth. Livestock is the chief element of pro gressive agriculture. Ttie greater portion of crops grown from the soil is fed to livestock, and cropgrowlng is therefore in large measure but a means to-livestock production. Immense Value of Livestock. The total value of the livestock of the United States, January 1. 1907, according to the United States Department of Agri culture, was the enormous sum of $4,870, 00.000, and "their total number was nearly three times that of the population. The animals sold from farms and those slaughtered on them in 1907 were worth about $1,570,000,000. or nearly twice as much as the cotton crop, while the dairy ' products of the country alone were worth nearly $KO0,000,00O, or more than any crop save corn. When we consider that farm animals are the chief ready money raisers and utilizers of farm waste; that livestock constitutes the principal element of agri- cultural prosperity, which is the founda tion of general prosperity, and that those states where first-class stockraising and farming are carried on together have prospered amazingly, showing the great est advance in wealth, population and education, and constituting the area that Is fast becoming the seat of the greatest political power, perhaps we may form some further idea of the Importance to the Nation of her livestock interests. All Dependent on Farmers. Few people vmderstand the extent to which the prosperity of the farmer has gone, the rapid strides which are being made in the direction of agricultural ad vancement, and the important' bearing which agricultural prosperity has upon the general welfare of the Nation as a whole and in every branch of its manu factures, finance, trade and commerce. Agriculture furnishes the bulk of our ex ports, also three-fourths of the raw ma terials used in domestic manufacture. When the farmer has a large surplus of agricultural products, consisting o foods and raw materials for manufac ture and export, which is in strong de mand at home and abroad at good prices, then all other industries and interests of every kind become more prosperous, be cause the farmer buys more largely of manufactured goods, machinery, supplies and luxuries, thus furnishing more busi ness to merchants, manufacturers and transportation lines and more employ ment at better wages to city dwellers of every class, so that all prosper together. But when crops fail and the farmer is unable to pay his bills, then trade and manufactures languish. transportation dwindles, exports fall off, finance becomes unsafe and all Interests suffer together. Xeed of Reciprocity. Perhaps the greatest need of the live stock industry of the United States today is a wider foreign outlet ror our surplus animals and meats. Ar present we are confined mainly to Great Britain as an export market for our meats and live ani mals, owing to antagonistic legislation which practically closes the markets of Germany. France and other continental European nations against them, while meantime the high prices of meats in those countries reduces the poorer classes, especially in Germany, to the necessity of slaughtering hundreds of thousands of worn-out horses and mules and stray dogs every year for human food. Only through wise and just measures of reeeinrocity in trade can these toreign markets be opened to us, but it is equally certain that the only way in which such desirable and profitable treaties can be secured is for farmers 'and stockmen everywhere throughout the United States to agitate the subject constantly, both among themselves and in public, and urge upon their representatives in Con gress tlte necessity of prompt considera tion and adequate action for their In terests, which are at the same time the best Interests of the Nation as a whole. What is most needed at present Is an extension fif the export market for our meats and live animals to continental Europe by any sort of reasonable regula tions, which would immediately create an outlet for the very- kinds of stock which are now flooding our markets day by day at a serious toss to growers and feeders. Policeman Disguised as Rabbi. CHICAGO, Jan. 4. Dressed in the garb of a rabbi. Policeman James R. Roach last -evening dispersed a crowd of hoodlums who a short time before had stopped Rabbi William C. Colb, pastor of the Bichur Cboiem Temple. The police, upon being told of the attack on the rabbi, ' decided as a bit of strategy to don the rabbi's robe. . Roach was promptly showered with missies by the mob when he appeared on the street. Angered by the attack tne policeman forgot his rabbinical costume a -i -wielding his club with suddenness and vigor, put the surprised mob to flight. , SAVORS OF PATERNALISM -More Arguments Against Extension of Farce! Post Project. , WINLOCK, Wash., Jan. 4. (To the Edi tor.) In a speech at Boston, Postmaster General Meyer said: "It does not seem to be understood by many of our people that we have a parcel post at present. The rate Is 16 cents a pound. The limit of weight, tour pounds." Mr. Meyer has recommended that the rate be reduced to 12 cents per pound and the weight limit increased to 11 pounds. But that is not what the Postal Progress League, backed by Mr. Post and the cata logue houses, are clamoring for. The par cel post bills before Congress provide not only for an Increase in the weight limit, but also for a most radical reduction in the rate, so that packages of merchandise weighing 11 pounds be sent through the length and breadth of the United States for the small sum of 25 cents $2.27 per hundredweight, nine 11-pound packages for How would such a rate affect Pacific Coast people? Postage rates, like street car fares, are alike, regardless of the length of the haul. A parcel can be mailed from New York to Seattle as cheaply aa to Jersey City. The short hauls would be profitable and the express companies would continue to do the business, while as to the long hauls, the taxpayers would have to foot the bills. John Wanamaker knew what he was talking about when ha uttered his famous epigram designating the express companies as Insurmountable obsta cles to a parcel post. A postage rate of $2.27 cents per 100 -nounds on merchandise would hardly be noticed by the average citizens near the ' great distributing centers of the East. But how would- it affect people at a Treat distance, particularly the people on the Pacific Coast? We buy most of our goods in the Kast. It Is expensive and it re quires much labor to transport merchandise a distance of -000 to 3000 miles through sparsely settled districts and over high mountain ranges. Railroad companies charge from Missouri River points and East thereof to Pacific Coast terminals 3 cents for first and 2.6 cents for second-class mat ter per gross pound. The minimum charge for any one shipment Is $2.60. In addition to that, the merchant must pay for boxes, barrels, drayage at both ends of the line. Increasing the total transportation charges from 3 to 6 cents per pound on the not weight of the goods. How would it affect the people on the Pacific Coast if mall rates were reduced to nearly one-half the present transconti nental freight rates? lt would be a great convenience. say the unsophisticated.- The people of Tilla mook would mall their butter and cheese to New York. Nome and Manilla, and the lodging camps could order their wedges and sledges delivered at their doors within a week from Chicago, for less than the pre vailing prices in Portland. "That would hurt my business," whines the country merchant. If he stands In the wav of progress, let him step aside. But there are others. How would At af fect the Pacific Coast Jobber if goods could v. Rhinnod from the East within a week ar retail for less money than it costs him to get his goods at. wnoiesaie wiimn month? Had he not better trim his sail for bad weather?

'-""- v" facturers if their Eastern rivals could send their finished proauct into mis wmuij cheaply as it costs them to transport their raw material? Had they not better seek a new location? And what would it cost the taxpayer of the land should the Government attempt to transport merchandise at retail, on fast trains, in charge of high-priced mall clerks, over rural routes, and over expensive star routes, for less money than it costs to haul freight from the St. Paul depot to the freight sheds of Portland? Hundreds of millions! ' What's the difference." says my Social istic friend,' "the people pay for what they get." "The people demand a parcel post and are willing to pay for It." asserts The Ore gonian. Do they? How does The Oregonian know it? The people have not yet spoken on tnat suDject. ' it aoea noi m .u u u.. stood by many of our people that we have a parcel post at present," says the Postmaster-General. "Yes." say certain Interests. "and tne rate is j cents pr puuuu, ..-. we refuse to pay and we demand that it be reaucea ana mo .uein-icm. e. .taxpayers of the land." Tax the many for tne -oeneni oi me iew, bihjiujjmoic ui--k funds to assist' the strong in crushing the weak. Is that what the people demand? I do not believe It. The effects of such a law, it is true, would be limited to mailable matter up to 11 pounds and It would, for that reason, only cripple, not kill, though the latter would seem the more merciful. A demand i I . V. . limit 1 1A pounds and an extension of the list of mail- aoie maner woum, nucri! iihihcuioicij follow with renewed vigor. There would be handle ten packages of 11 pounds each than to handle one package weighing 110 pounds. And why. it would be pertinent to ent medicines and whisky be excluded? It would dc Burn a convenience il mo pusuuau could deliver at the kitchen door ealmon irom me vuiuiiluil nici, xtoahvo nuiu Wenatchee and grapes from Los Angeles! What is worth doing at all Is worth doing well. Why not enter into the express busi ness properly and crush competition not contrary but according to law ? And as to the annual postal deficits that in all due to excessive charges of the rail roads for handling mail cars United States Post off ices on wheelswhy not own the railroads? It would be such a convenience, if the public could ride for 1 cent per mile. Why not operate the shoe factories? It would be so nice, if footwear could be bought for half its present price. But how about Germany and England, where parcels postsare in operation? Once upon a time a poodle dog jumped Into a man's lap and was petted. An ass tried to Imitate the dog and was beaten off with a stick. J. L. G RUBER One Man's Lucky 13th. Philadelphia Record. There is one West Philadelphia man who doesn't care a hang if every day is Friday the 13th, yet he used to be one of the most superstitious of men. Last Sep tember, when the 13th fell on Friday, he was cured. A huge safe was being raised up to the sixth floor of a Walnut-street building as he was walking along the sidewalk. Just as he got under it some one called "Look out!". He grasped the situation in an Instant, and Ihere passed through his mind the thought that since it was Friday the 13th he was sure to be caught under the heavy safe. Neverthe less, he jumped for his life and landed half in the gutter and half on the side walk. - Then he looked around to see the havoc, and discovered that the ropes had merely slipped a little and that the safe was being hoisted up as though nothing had happened. As he lay stretched In the mud his hand" felt something round and fiat. When he arose and brushed off his clothing he still clutched the find, and upon examining it he found it to be a S20 gold piece that no one ever claimed. Gypsies to Be Tamed. Springfield (Mass.) Republican. The Hungarian government is taking measures to compel the gypsies to quit their nomadic life and settle down to work like other people. They are es pecially numerous In that country and have been for centuries, and the growth of civilization wars against them as it does against the hunter, the adventurer and the wanderer of any class. There is just now a popular outburst of in dignation against the gypsies in Hun gary, owing to several murders traceable to them, and the government is taking advantage of it. TICKET BROKERS GO Owners of Steam Schooners to Run Own Offices. PRESENT SYSTEM- IS BAD Los Angeles and San Francisco ON ffices Now Open Portland Next. Local Agent on Salary and Will Handle All Business. Ticket brokers and those selling1 transportation on coastwise steam schoonersat all ports north of I-.os Angeles, will soon be without jobs. The Association of Steam Schooner Owners has decided to establish offices at Lfs Ansreles, San Francisco, Port land, Seattle, Taeoma and Aberdeen for the purpose of handling all tickets and freight charters. The Portland of fice will be in operation within 30 days. Colonel Kruger, formerly ticket agent at Los Angeles for the Mer chants Independent Steamship Com pany, has entered the employ of the Steam Schooner Association and is ac tively engaged In appointing agents and establishing offices in the various cities. All agents will be on a salary basis. The action of the vessel-owners was prompted by the unsatisfactory manner in which brokers handled the ticket business. A commission of $1 was paid on all ticket sales. For this com mission it often happened that the brokers would sell the same berth on steamers to different persons. The company and the purser had all the trouble in straightening out J,he muss. Passengers were unsatisfied. Charters had to be handled by the home office of each steamship company. Under the new arrangement the local agent will be entrusted with the charter affairs of thjfe various craft. FOOt CARGOES ARE CLEARED Valdlvla Carries Wheat, Flour and Lumber for the Orient. "Wheat, lumber and flour cargoes with a total value of $334,458 cleared from Portland yesterday. Four vessels, two sailing ships and two steamships, with 233,152 bushels of wheat, 10,002 barrels of flour and 6,512,698 feet of lumber got away. The business makes a good starter for the month of Jan uary. The first lumber vessels to get away since the Terje Viken, on the 4 th of November, were the Valdivia and the Strathord. The latter cleared direct for Port Pirie and carried 3,468.891 feet. The Valdivia, in addition to more than 3,000,000 feet of timber, carried 10,002 barrels of flour and 21,472 bush els of wheat.

OREGONIAN NKWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Jan.4.- Congressman Jones has laid before the Department of Agricul ture the desire of the people in and about Qulncy, Douglas County, Wash ington, to have the office of experiment stations take up the subject of the feas ibility of using surface wells for irri gation purposes or the development of artesian water and also to determine what crops are best suited to this par ticular section. Mr. Jones had a personal interview with the director of the office of ex periment stations, who assured him that as soon as Mr. Fortier, who has especial charge of the irrigation and drainage problems in the West, re turned from California he would bring the matter to his attention. The Con gressman assured Dr. True, the di rector, that he had investigated tnis section of the state and that in his opinion it offered the most promising spot they had for experimental work and urged that it be selected for an experiment station to investigate the problems relating to dry land farming. Mr. Jones said that in the Immediate vicinity of Qulncy there are 30,000 or 40.000 acres, and possibly more, of com paratively level country that with wa ter will be as productive as any In the state. This section is a part of the Big Bend country, which cannot be irrigated at the. present time on accotint of the stupendous cost of the project. Seaside Justice Appointed. ASTORIA, Or.. Jan. 4.

The court awarded a contract to Beall & Co.. of Portland, for a steel rock crusher to cost J1730 and to be delivered within 60 days. The court also made an order that in the future none of the keepers of the county draw My Specialty Is Men's Diseases to prove that my methods will, invariably cthe any ailment of men, i have made my feb for any Uncomplicated disorder only S 1 You Can Pay Me After I Have Cured You There is no longer any reason for you to suf fer another day. My services are at your disposal, and at a nominal fee, and rest as sured that if I undertake the. treatment of your case 1 WILL CURE YOU. I have per fected a method of treatment that reaches the VERT CENTER of the disease and that assists Nature to overcome all inflamed or congested conditions and DRIVES OUT of the system ALL THE POISONS OF DISEASE. My methods are entirely of my own devising and are the results of over twenty years of special medical-practice. They are thorough and every cure I effect is therefore PERMANENT. I might selfishly limit my practice to men of means only and thus charge big fees for my services, but I want EVERY MAN AFFLICTED WITH DISEASE to benefit by my discoveries for the cureof men's ail ments. I have therefore made my professional charges as low as possi ble. Any man, whatever his circumstances, whether wage-earner or millionaire, may easily avail himself of my skill. What "Weakness? Really Is "Weakness" in all its phases and in practically every case that comes to me for treatment is merely 'a symptom resulting from a state of .chronic inflammation in the prostate gland. This Inflammation may be a linger ing result of some contracted disease, rr may have been brought on by early dissipation, etc. In by far the greatest number of cases the gen eral health of the patient is perfect, there being no lack of either phy sical or nervous energy. No stimulants or tonics are needed, and if employed would onlv result in temporary excitement of the functions and.positive injury to the tender and already disordered prostate. My treatment is a local one entirely. It removes all inflammation, swell ing and tenderness from the proBtate gland, establishes normal circula tion throughout the parts and restores permanently and completely all natural functions. I Cure All the Diseases of Men Sneh as Lost Vliror. Spwlflc Blood Poinon, Orsranic Weakness, Sperma torrhoea, Varicocele, stricture, Hydrocele, Piles and Reflex Aliments. Consult Me First Even though your ease may be one that some other doctor is able to cure, and though his cure be absolutely thorough and permanent, there Is yet good cause for your coming to me tor treatment. The service I render is entirely unlike and better than the ordmary. I have devised new and scientific methods of treating men's diseases in all their phases. I cure cases that others cannot cure, and cases that others can cure, I cure In less time and without sain or possibility of Injury.
