TO WELCOME FORESTERS,
The Forsters in this city are antlclpat
Ing much good to result from the visit
of the grand chief ranger-? and other
members of the grand court 1)f Oregon,
which takes place next Tuesday evening
at the Foresters' Hall.
The courts in the city have all Joined
together and are doing their utmost to
make this a banner 'event in Foresterls
tlc circles. .
It had been thought that they would
welcome the grand court officials at n
public meeting, but the members of' the
order in general seemed to favor a regu
, lar session. Insomuch as so many things
would come up of vital Importance vto
the business interests of the organisation
that an open discussion at a public meet
ing would hardly be politic. ' - . .
At Some future date it is hoped that
the grand chief ranger and other court
officials will be able to make Portland
another visit, and if such should be the
case no doubt a monstrous public meet
ing will be held.

MCKINLEY I At tKe CHurche,
forced 1898 Special Leg
islative Session
SENT SPECIAL ENVOY
Perry Heath Came West to Urge It
fbr Support of Admin
istration. It Is " reasonably certainty that an ex
tra smilon of the Legislature will be held.
Governor Geer has not explicitly said he
was going to Issue a call, but that he will
convene the special session in the latter
part of December next. Is firmly believed.
Th call likely will be bused on the ur
gent need of putting, all state officials on
fiat salaries before the new (termsJ of of
fice begin, and -to secure an adequate ap
propriation for the Lewis and Clark Cen
tennial, The -last special session of an Oregon
legislature was that held In the fall of
189S, under a call Ixsued by Governor W.
P. Lord, fixing September 29, as the com-,
mencemeht of a 20-days' extraordinary
session.
THIS WAS TUB MOST IMPORTANT
of all the special sessions of the Oregon
Legislatures, either under territorial rule
or after acquiring Ktatehoort. Its result
had a far-reaching effect In supporting
the administration of President Mcltlnley
r.t whosn earnest solicitation Jhe call was
IsBiied. Much of the inside history of the
causes leading to It hus remained un
written lilntory to this day.
The Legislative Assemhely of 1K!7 failed
to fully organize, a sufficient number Of
the House members refusing to meet with
Others so as to perfect a legal organiza
tion. This; opposition was maintained
dtfring the entire time of the period grant
ed by the Constitution for the Legislature
to remain in session. As a result no
I'nlted States Senator' was elected to fill
the vacancy caused by ths expiration of
Senator Mitchell's term. The members
went home without any legislation being
enacted, the opposing forces'ln the House
never reaching a harmonious basis for a
settlement of their differences. At this
time the
I'NlTED STATES SKNATR WAS
CLOSG
and grave doubts expressed whether the
Republicans could'control it and the ad
ministration was particularly .anxious
that the State of Oregon should have a
full representation in the upper hraeh of
the National Legislature. President Mc
Klnley took a particular .interest In the
matter and sent Perry S. lleah, his
Second Assistant PoHtmaHter-Gent-rul, to
Oregon as his special envoy lo see Gov
ernor Lord and urge upon him the im
pei'utlve necessity of calling an extra ses
sion for tho purpose of electing a Repub
lican Senator. Mr. Heath reached Port
land in due lime, had numerous confi r
dices nllh lending Republicans in the
city, nnd then sped on to S.ilcni to Inter
view (Joverhor Iord nid xuress Presi
dent Metvinley's earnest desire that the
neCesnarv steps be promptly taken to se
cure the election T the d, sired additional
Republican Senator. The Presidential en
voy explained how necessary It was to
the administration to have
A 8 KN A TOll IN" SYMPATHY
with it, and- tlic fear Indulged in by lioth
the President and his supporters ihnt
owing to the apparent factional split in
the Republican ranks the Democrats and
their allies might succeed In carrying Or
egon, at the next election and secure a
Legislature thai would send a Senutnr to
Washington hostile to the administration.
Governor Lord diseiisseif the entire situa
tion with Mr. Heath very temperately
nnd expreMed the opinion thst slirtuld he-
do as President McKinley so urgently re
quested, no favorable result would be ac
complished, 'as the election of nn I'nlted
States Senator would b tn the sam
hands as those who had Tailed to elect
a Senator at the regular session and that
he would not be In sympathy tilth any
movement that might possibly result In
the election of one. he, In common with
hiany of the leading Republicans of thft
state, was personally opposed to. and
therefor he would not risk the responsi
bility of such possible results. Governor
Lord assured Mr. Heath that there
WOULD HE 'Kb DANGER
of tho Republicans falling to secure the
Legislature at the next eleetlon and that
then a Senator would, he elected who
would be in full sympathy with. President
McKlnlcy and his administration, but at
the present time ho did not believe it
necessary to call a special session and
incur the great expense it would Involve.
Mr. Heath did not remain tong in Salem.
His interview with Governor Lord was
between trains and finding he cowhl ac-"
complish nothing at that (.line lie left
Oregon a disappointed inan.!.
The result of tho election of ' 1S9S put
an entirely different aspect on the posst-1
btlitles of electing a Senator ami Gtov
arnor Lord urged by the administration
at Washington, called the new Legisla
ture In pxtra session for that purpose1.
Soon a the members had settled down
to' work the election of United Slates
Benator was taken up, and Joseph Simon
was elected in a manner familiar to all
who have followed poHtjes in Oregon.

PRICES OF
MEAT HERE
Compared With Those Paid by the
Housewives of Chicago.
A great deal or complaint has been
made lately by Portland housewives en
account of tbe alleged high prices chf'g
ed by local butchers for all kinds of
meat. A Portland woman goes Into a
meat market and asks for 16 cents worth
of steak, and If tbe obliging meat man
doe not Weigh out several pounds of
the choicest meat in the shop he Is met
with the exclamation, "Oh, my, but
meats are awful dear nowadays."
A local butcher in talking of the prices
of meat In this city and Chicago said:
"When on comes to consider the prop
osition, the price of the ordinary grades
of meat in this city is a great deal lower
than that charged by most of the Eastern
meat dealers. There Is no ceusion for
this, however, a it cost more to buy
meat wholesale here than any part -of
the East. In the East they have the
large packing houses, and every part of
THE3 CARCAi.3 IS UTILIZED
fn com manner ao thaj there will be
no wade. Eastern paskers figure trial
they make a small profit on some of the
parts of ,the animal that It is sufficient.
The local butchers, though, have none
of these facilities lor lit. Hieing the dif
ferent part of the animal and there
fore are . compelled to charK more for
the food portions of the body of the an
imal. " ,
"In the JUastern packing houses they
use about every part of the animal's
body. The blood Is utilized tn part for
the making of blood aausage, tho re
malnder of the blood being used for fer
tilizer. Hone are used In making bon
ing meal, and brings a fair price. When
the market is stocked with boning meal
the bone Is used also as a fertilizer. A
majority of the horn of the slaughtered
steer Is pollsued and iihim In decora
tion work, v.ie rest of the product being
used for the making of first-class alue.
The tallaw ts used In making soap and
brings In a fair profit?' A new process
has late"iy been found by one of the
i'iastern packers for the utilizing of their
over-supply of tallow. By an exira pro
cess THE TALLOW IS CONVERTED
Into a very good sort of glycerine. It is
said that the profits from making the
(allow into glycerine is so much larger
than when made Into soap' that most of
the larger packers are about to adopt
the new process.
"Of course, one of the local packing
houses use soirie of the ordinary waste,
but It i not sufficient to give them the
profit they should have. If they had
more of the utilities used by the Eastern
packers? fhe price of local beef, as a
consequence, would be much lower."
At the present time loin of beef are
selling In Chicago at 22 cents a pound,
but the local, butcher claims that there
would be a great howl If they were to
charge over Vi or 15 cepts for the same
article. Imagine a Portland housewife
going into a Chicago market lo pur
chase some sirloin steak and being asked
20 cents a pound for It. Wouldn't there
be an awful howl? In this city she
would be unwilling to pay l' cents for
It. Porterhouse steak at 25 cents would,
indeed, make a l'ortlaiider feel as though
the trusts have gobbled up the enllr?
meal supply. Rut that Is the price Chl
cagoalis are compelled to pay for that
CHOICE PART OK THE BEER
In Portland the very same kind of
meat can be purchased at IS cents, anil
yet local residents say that meat Is
"awful. y high."
Pork chops (ye In prices about the same
in Chicago as In Portland, the reason
being that the supply of pork on this
roast Is rnlher small, and that we have
In depend on the Eastern market for u
! ureal deal of our stock. Pork In the
I laistern status 1ms reached the highest
point on the ladder of prices, the failure

lifter taking a look at the Chicago
meat men's style of chnvp r, we ought

A VERY FAVORED SECTION

A much better, grade of nn at Is being
used now throughlout the coun
try, and. therefore ihe chnper grades
have not risen to suc.i a height. Chuck
steak can be purchase,! In either Chi
cago or Portland nt 10 cents a pound and
round steak at K cents.
The price of eggs h.n floated up high
on account of the higher pike, of meat.
The principal egs supply of the country
Is from The Middle West, the local sup
lily being' not nearly :uincb;iit tp supply

HOP PICKING
Forty Cents Is Enough, Says Hen
ry J. Miller.
"This talk about the hopgrowers huv
Iiig to pay mure than 10 cents a bowt
for tiop-ilikl)ig this season is all bosli'
said Henry J. Miller, a hop expert of
Aurora, yesterduy.
There 1 a lull In the contracting of
the hop crop at the present time, on
account of the nearness of the picking
Benson. I ta t think (hat" there will ".a
many morfi" contracts made until afteri
the pkhlflfr is over.
"The crop Is looking fine and the pros
pects are that the picking season will
open about the first of September. Ot
course the present very warm weather
is not the best for the crop, but 1 tliirfk
it will come out all right.
"The highest price that ha been paid
for hops on contract this season is iO
cents and there Is no telling .how the
price will go after the crop Is picked.
Thi talk of paying more than 40 cents
for picking this year Is caused by the
farmers themselves. If they hatln t
talked so much about the supposed scarc
ity of men for this season's picking 1
don't think thht .there wpttltl have been
any agitation at all for tho higher rtite.
With most of the contracts made at li
cents a pound 1 can't iigure .out ho
the farmers expect 'to make any moiie
this year If they pay a higher prU-t for
picking."
Mr. Miller Is spending a few days In
the city taking a well-earned vacation
after a long season of making hop con
tracts. He Is stopping at the Belvedere.
