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

ar retail for less money than it costs him
to get his goods at. wnoiesaie wiimn

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

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

What is worth doing at all Is worth doing

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

SURFACE WELL IRRIGATION
Experiment Stations to Take Up the
Soil Around Qulncy, Wash.
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.

This remedy helped me very quickly,
and continuing their use I soon found
relief from the aches and pains and
the action of the kidney secretions was
also strengthened to a great extent. I
recommended Doan's Kidney Pills in
our papers three years ago. I am al
ways pleased to say a good word for
this remedy and am glad of this op
portunity to confirm my former testl-
mony."

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.

cause for your coming to me tor treatment. The service I render is entirely

of treating men's diseases in all their phases. I cure cases that others cannot

lines of nature's requirements, and are in exact harmony with the natural

Varicocele
There is no necessity for
surgical operations in the
treatment of Varicocele.
This disease yields com
pletely to my mild and
painless method, and re
sults are far, better than
were ever attained by the
harsh and dangerous prac
tice of cutting. But one
week is required, and sel
dom is It even necessary

his business.

by which the obstruct

Contracted Disorders
The serious results that may follow neglect of
contracted diseases could scarcely be exaggerated
Safety demands an absolutely thorough cure In
the least possible time. I have treated more cases
of contracted disorders than any other physician
upon the Pacific iCoast. My cures'" are thorough and
are accomplished in less time than other forms of
treatment require In producing even doubtful re
sults. I employ remedies of my own devising and
my treatment is equally effective in both recent
and chronic cases. x
Weakness
"Weakness Is not a nervous disorder, demanding
a tonic system of treatment, but Is merely a
symptom of chronic inflammation or congestion In
the prostate gland. This -condition exists as a re
sult of early dissipation , or some improperly
treated contracted disorder, and requires care
fully directed local meaure only. By my own
oriffinal methods, the prostate gland la quickly re
stored to its normal state, which results in full
and complete return of strength and vigor. My.
cures are permanent, because the condition re
sponsible for the functional disorder is entirely
removed, and I am ron vinced that by no treat
ment other than my own carefully directed local
measures la a radical cure of this ailment possible.
