tf tha euxrkmen of the Northwest did
fint turn their livestock holdings Into
psndsoms profits during the year 1910.
they missed a golden opportunity, for
the grand average prices ruling on all
classes at the Portland market for the
JI month ended December 1 were the
highest In the history of the Industry
cn the Pacific Coast.
Of course. In some Instances, notably
the hog market, the phenomenally high
reraco was made poeslble by abnormal
conditions which prevailed not only In
Ibis section, but all over the inlted
When a h"g market averages I10.SO

matter whether unusual condttlona made
It pnnslble or not. a little pride Is ex
cusable. Portland takes down the
"grand championship" among the hog
market of the world for the year 1910.
not only f ir the grand average price of
SIA.3A. but for the highest single price
record ef $11.40 for a load, which pasacd
over the scales on March It.
Hog-IlalsIng Neglected.
Proportionately the Northwest Is far
bhlrd other sections In the production
cf all classes of livestock except sheep.
It Is In hog-raising where thla territory
makes an Inexcusable showing. North
western farmers do not have the rbole'a
sc.iurge to contend with, nor the Intense
cold and rapid change of weather that
Is the despair of the corn belt-grower.
We do not have their great corn crops,
but we do have barley, wheat, field
peaa. vetches, clover, and alfalfa and
can grow hogs for S' cents a pound on
foot. With all these excellent opportu
nities for raising pork, the Northwest
Imports three-fourths of the pork prod
uts It consumes from the Middle West.
But this condition cannot always pre
vail In a country which Is running
away from all others In the growth of
population, commerce and agriculture.
The great railroads, who know the value
of livestock tonnage, have made plans
for several demonstration trains In 1S11
and will cover every state thoroughly.
The agricultural colleges, railroads and
livestock interests are not the onea who
are behind the times- They are bend
ing every effort to Increase production
end establish Intensive farming methods.
It Is the farmer, himself, who Is slow to
realise the Immense opportunities held
out to him.
Rut the hog market was not the only
record-breaker during the year. Spring
lambs sold at high as $12 lata In March,
and calves broke all records on Decem
ber 29 and S' when they sold at IS.IS,
getting In on the record sheet at the.
last minutes.
Cattle Market Surprising.
The cattle market was another source
of continued surprises, for, when It la
considered that this market draws its
beef supply from a section of the coun
try where "fitting for market" Is not
reduced to the fine science obtaining In
the cornbelt states, the prices received
by raisers are truly remarkable. The
average weight of steers wss scarcely
over 1000 pounds and yet the year's
average price was $4.17. which does not
Include the sensational prices on Christ
mas beef. In two Instances just before
the holidays, fancy pure-bred steers
realised $10.(0 and $14.50 per hundred
weight on the open market, demonstrat
ing beyond an argument that stockmen
and farmers in the Northwest can pro
duce as good beef as can be produced
anywhere if they only apply scientific
methods of breeding and feeding.
Mutton Prices High.
White giving a few startling facts
about cattle and hog prices, the mutton
market must come In for Its share of
praise, for In some respects Its achieve
ments were even greater than the oth
ers. It must be considered that the
great crying need of every Pacific
('nest and Rocky Mountain State Is an
increase In population. The consumption
of mutton Is not as great as It should
be. and Just at present falls far below
the consumption of beef and pork. But
the demand Is growing fsst. so Is popu
lation, and with the greatest climate for
raHlng sheep In the world for both the
wool and mutton breeds, first-class
transportation facilities, either by rail
or water, and an established market at
Portland the lnduat-y has made greater
strides within the past year than ever
before.
The total value of all livestock pass
ing throush the Portland Vnton Stock
yards In the past year was about $9,000.
Ooo. That the coming year will see a
great Increase In the business Is as
sured. Kxcellent Showing Ma lie.
In summing up the livestock situation
f-r the year. few tables have been
compiled which will give more de
tailed description of the market's con
dition from month to month, and whiis
the else of the receipts is not so large
as those of the other and older markets
In the country, they are a very satis
factory showing, considering that the
livestock Industry In the Northwest is
only In Its Infancy.

or the city must cause its removal In
the next few years. It cannot remain
In the present condition. It la a con
glomeration of shapes and forms. Lot
owners might aa well understand the
situation It Is either beautify the
ground or remove the graves. As thla
association represents large Intereeta
In the cemetery. I think we can ma
terially assist the Lot Owners' Associa

TAKING ISN0J STEALING
Russian Officer Mar Borrow Sailor's
Money Without Consent.
OAKLAND. Cel.. Dec, SI. It la quite
proper for a Russian naval officer to
borrow all the money he can from his
enlisted men. even If he has to go to
a sailor's trunk and take the loan while
the other Is not looking this accord
ing to the Russian code, aa explained
In the Superior Court here yesterday.
Moreover. If the sailor, discovering
whither his funds had flown, should re
monstrate with his superior, be would
be guilty of a gross insult.
These refined moralities were re
vealed In the trial of Alexander Ser
vlllo. formerly a Lieutenant In the Rus
sian navy. Bervlllo deserted his vessel
in San Francisco Bay during the war
with Japan, but he considered that the
naval code still applied aa between him
and a countryman who had been a blue
Jacket. So when he found himself
lacking In money, he borrowed $70
from the sailor's trunk. The sailor,
who had been quick to forget the ship
board code, had bervlllo arrested, tried
and eonvlcted of stealing. However,
when the officer explained the true
proprieties, the court was moved to ad
mit him to probation.

The year has been marked by
an exceedingly lars;a amount of Im
provement and construction work by
tha Portland Railway. Light Power
Company. There waa czpandad In 110
by tha company for bettermenta and
nw work, apart from maintenance and
operating aooount, nearly J5.000.000.
One of the heavy Itema has been
track reconstruction and pavement,
made necessary on account of tha large
amount of hard-aurfaca pavament In
augurated by tha city authorities. Cur
ing the year the company reconstruct
ed tt miles of track In all portlona of
tha city and laid about 13 miles of new
track, including two lines In the Irv
Ington district, one on Fifteenth street
and tha other on Twenty-second and
Twenty-fourth streets, eonneetlng with
the extension to Alameda Park, the
Sandy road and tha East Davis-street
cut-off between East Tentl and East
Twenty-eighth streets; a line on
Twenty-first street. East Twelfth, Sixth
street and Hall street, and additional
double tracks on Lomoard street, the
Mount Scott Una and tha river-front
line.
Track Work Cost Million.
The total cost of this traok construc
tion and reconstruction has been close
to 11.000.000. and a gang of 500 men
has been kept continually on this work
for nine months. There are now US
miles of track, including both narrow
and standard-gauge lines.
In addition to ths work outlined,
work was startsd on n sxtenslon of
about five miles from Willamette Falls
toward Oswego on the west bank of
ths Wlllamatts Klver, and work Is
undsr way on a three-mile, sxtenslon
from Caxadero easterly to the proposed
Upper Clackamas power plant.
Ths year has also seen noteworthy
for the additional equipment acquired.
It was found necessary to order Se.new
passenger cars, all but 10 of which have
been received and put Into service.
This makes a total passenger equip
ment. Including the standard and nar

eleotrlo looomotlves and 2t flatcars of
SO.OOO pounds capacity. In addition, 10
largo Roger ballast cara were pur
chased, and a new combined mall and
express car waa conatruoted.
Ths total amount expended on new
equipment Is about 1890.000.
A new reinforced conoreto car-house
with office quartera and olubrooms for
employes has been constructed on East
Ankeny street, near East Twenty
eighth street.
brick addition 100 by 200 feet to
the Piedmont car-house has also been
constructed and preliminary work has
been begun on further car-house ex
tensions at thla point on a building 100
by 4J5 feet. The office and clubhouse
building at Sellwooa was also com
pleted. The modern automatic sprink
ler systems for fire protection were In
Stalled in tha Sellwood, Ankeny and
Piedmont car-houses. The amount ex
pended on these and other minor Im
provements to bulldinss was mors than
1200.000.
Transportation Business Growing.
About 87.000,000 passengers were
carried on the lines of this company in
and about Portland during the year.
In other words, a greater number of
passengers board and leave the cars
of this 'company every day than tha
total population of Portland and vicin
ity. The number of people traveling in
110 was about 15 per cent greater than
in 1909 and the new equipment in 110
provides about JO per cent Increased
carrying capacity for the Winter
months.
During 110 more tnan four times a
roaay passengers rods on the street
car lines in Portland as when the pre
vious United States Census was taken
10 years before.
Tha outlook for the coming year Is
that tha present rate of expenditure
for Improvement will be continued. Al
ready mora than I75O.OO0 of street Im
provement work Is projected along the
tracks of thla company. The line to
the Upper Clackamas power station,
three miles In length, will be completed,
as will also the Willamette Falls ex
tension of Ave miles. It Is further
expected that branch lines will be built
Into several new additions such as
Kings Heights. Arlington Heights,
Beaumont and other tracts which have
been placed upon the market..
New equipment already has been
ordered equal to 50 per cent of that re
ceived during 110, and these orders
undoubtedly will be Increased at an
early date. Car-house capacity will
be increased by the construction of at
least two large buildings, and possibly
three.
Auto sprinkler systems for fire pro
tection will be Installed In the new
car-houses and In those already con
structed that are not so protected. The
maximum number ot employes on the
pay roll of the company at any one
time during the year 1910 was about
4500, and the yearly pay roll for the
year la about $2,750,000.
It la thought that In 1911 there will

City ro.at inspection declared to

Asserting that one death In East
Portland and three In Hillsboro within
a month were due to diseased meats,
the state authorities and some of the
United States officials are becoming
aroused by the lack pf proper precau
tions against the sale of uninspected
products of "moonBhine" slaughter
houses. Dr. Calvin S. White, secretary
of the State Board of Health, said yes
terday that the deaths from this cause
should prove a warning to the people
of Portland.
Slunken calves, rejected cows and
bulla and steers suffering from blood
poisoning form elements of the story
told by officials and physicians inter
ested in ridding the market of polBoned
meats.
Physicians Discuss Charges.
Recently there was a meeting of the
Aesculaplan Society formed by several
physicians at which the whole sub
ject was discussed after a paper upon
the subject had been read by an In
vited guest. It was asserted that
"downers" of the stackyards were sold
to "pirate" butchers and taken to
"moonshine" slaughter-houses In the
suburbs Lents, Council Crest. Beaver
ton and Multnomah Station where
they were killed and offered for sale
the next day upon the counters of
butchers. It Is explained that "down
ers" are thosa eattKe injured during
shipment. Frequently they suffer
from broken legs or ribs, or are se
riously bruised, so that they are not
accepted by the Government Inspectors.
While in a fevered condition they are
butchered and offered ror sale' ss good
meat.
Dairies are accused of butchering
sick oows and selling them to "pirate"
butohers In the same way. "
Dr. White Aroused.
"There Is no doubt that the situation
U serious," 044 Pr, White last night.
DEATHS
TRACED
CO,
"It Is time to stop the nefarious prac
tice, which Is going on constantly.
There is danger and constant danger
of loss of life. There oan be no dif
ference between the murder caused by
the sale of poisoned meats and murder
when the knife or the bullet is used.
It la simple murder, however you
view It.
"Take the case of tha East Side child
who was poisoned, it Is believed,
by the eating of a Christmas turkey
which bad been in cold storage. I am
told that one has died. Several oth
ers were taken seriously ill. Friends
who attended the dinner returned home
in the evening and the next morning
were found suffering from the poison
obtained by eating cold-storage turkey.
This turkey had been stored away with
the entrails in it. and no one knows
how long it had been kept. It was full
of organisms, and when heat was ap
plied It gave an opportunity for these
germs to perform their dangerous func
tions. Cases Furnish Warning:.
"The Hillsboro case was another one,
in which three people died. It was in
the family of a man named Schneider.
It seems that they had some sausage
which they kept in a crock, and when
they desired to eat It they spread it
upon their bread raw. From an exam
ination of the meat, it was evident that
the hog killed had been a diseased one,
and the meat was alive with germs.
No wonder the family sickened and that
some died. These cases are simply a
warning of what we are coming to If
we do not take the, proper precautions.
"In addition to this danger, there
are shipped from the upper end of the
valley carcasses of calves from
slaughter houses which are without In
spection. The prime necessity In butch
ering is cleanliness. Germs thrive In
dirt. Germs eaten by man produce the
same effect, so far as bloodpoisoning
Is concerned, that they do In cattle.
One Is the replica of the other. ;f we
expect to maintain the health of the
human race. It is time for something
in the way of meat inspection of
'piratical' butchers and 'moonshine'
slaughter-houses."
Dr. White said that the existing or
dinance providing for meat inspection
was a dead letter. He declared that ac
tive Inspection of the choap slaughter
house and supervision of the sale of
meat on tha butchers' counter was the
only proper method of providing neces
sary protection to the public.
"Portland will wake up," said Dr.
White, "some day. Tha sooner the
better.'"
Dr. C. E. HiHi of 651 East Eleventh
street, made tha post mortem examin
ation .of the East Portland death and
last night said:
"The death from toxaemia, experi
enced by the child of the Schereber
family, waa due, in my opinion, to the
family eating a cold-storage turkey.
The post mortem revested evidences of
toxaemia. The second child, 11 years
old was very sick. but. as I understand,
has' recovered. The sister and her hus
band, who partook of the same meal
and ate some of the turkey, were taUm
sick when they returned to their home
In Willamette. They fed some of the
turkey to a chicken and it died the
next morning. Death, in my opinion,
was due directly to the eating of
diseased meat."

WISE MEN TO COME
Eminent Scientists Will Con
vene Here Next June.
MR, RAYMOND SENDS NEWS
Unless Date Is Advanced Portland
Will Be Privileged to Welcome
Scholars Engaged In Ad- ;
vancement of Knowledge.
R. W. Raymond, manager of the con
vention bureau of the promotion com
mittee of the Commercial Club, who Is
In the East closing contracts for conven
tions in Portland, sent a telegram from
Minneapolis reporting- his latest success
securing the annual meeting of the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science, which will convene here
in June. IStll, unless otherwise changed
by the council of policy of the society.
The American Association for tha Ad
vancement of Science Is one of the oldest
societies in the country, patterned largely
after the British Society for the Advance
ment of Science. With the latter it is
part of tha constitution that it must hold
its meeting places upon British soil. A
similar condition exists in the American
society. Its meeting-place must be upon
soil of the United States.
Annual meetings are held and scientists
attend from all over tha country, par
ticularly those engaged in college and
university work. Imminent men engaged
in practical work and application of
scientific theories, are also members.
The attendance usually is large and in
this case It Is believed there will come
to Portland a large number of men emi
nent in scientific research.
It Is proposed to give the members,
after the convention, an opportunity to
make a trip to the Hawaiian Islands. The
council of policy may change tha data to
1912, although it is unlikely.
