The cities that would like to enter

next year are: El Paso. Tex.; Detroit,

' Which wUl secure the conventions is a
questions that Is being asked.
Kl Paso is expected to put up , the
, strongest fight for the 1905 meeting- and
It Is more than likely that the Texas
: town will win. However, Denver is
very strong, and If It does not withdraw
from the race the battle is apt to be
very spirited.
The latest city to request the con-
ventlon Is Detroit. Secretary Martin
of the national association received a
letter from the Detroit board of trade
Sunday rooming, saying that "'i t, the
stockmen will come to Michigan next
year they will receive the best of treat-

Is said,, would be impracticable, because
the organisation draws its membership
from various parts of the United State,
where the conditions and desires of the
' several localities are not the same, and
were any one place determined upon as

other cities would feel-they had been

Why ' should substitutes
for Scott's Emulsion be re
fused? Because they do not begin

Why should special care

Because they contain a

PROPOSED TRIP
TO THE SEASIDE
The Astoria & Columbia River Rail
road company has made an offer to the
National Livestock association officials
to conduct an excursion' for the visit
ing delegates to Seaside next Saturday.
The, plan arranges for return on Sun-
aayr-
The livestock officials have the matter
under consideration and will report their
decision Wednesday. ' . ,
ihe Astoria & Columbia River rail
road officials believe that the excursion
would be of great benefit to both the
visitors and the state. That part of
Oregon would not be visited by the dele
gates unless some such inducements
were offered. In order to accomplish the
greatest good the railrpad, Is willing to
make very liberal concession as to th
(expense which would be incurred.. The
local committee is asked to bear a por
tion of this expense. -;

C. Andrews, a prominent wools-rower

blacks' union, Mr. Andrews was
awakened by someone prowling about
his berth sometime during the nie-ht

lor your shoes to give them a shine,"
came the reply, which satisfied Mr.
Andrews, since he considers shoe-shin-lng
a legitimate occupation. This
morning Mr. Andrews found that he
was shy Just 833.60 and of course he
concludes that he must nave paid that
amount for a shine.

There have been great changes cn the
style 01 goods, the materials used .In
their manufacture and the ...manner of
doing business. Cotton has come into
much more general tise and imitations of
woolen goods are common. Every piece
of woolen goods is made to serve up
again and again, and over and over, each
time being picked up, renovated and for
eign substances burned out

as 'worn out,' we are really losing from
the actual visible supply of wool only
that small percentage which goes off In
dust, or Is washed away In the manipula
tion of making old woolens into new
fabrics. Hence It Is. that notwithstand
ing the great Increase In copulation, the
urrowth of .the nation. a,nd the ability of
iiiw consumers (never greater) to Duy
plenty of clothing, and good clothing It
they prefer It, the percentage of new
wool used compared with the total yard
age of goods worn, seems to be growing
less rather than more, and wool is lower
In the markets than a large majority of
the flockmasters feel they can afford to
produce It for."
Tariff Heeded. He Thiufcs.
President Warren said that although
the number of sheep In this country Is
decreasing, . the . production . of wool Is
so great as to keep prices very low.
"To remove the tariff on wool." he de
clared, "would be to practically blot out
our flocks, compel our manufacturers to
depend entirely on foreign-grown wool,
and finally to raise the price of woolen
goods to consumers without benefit to
this country from sheep and wool grow
ing. .
The necessity of securing proper pro
tection for the sheep men In all national
legislation upon the forestry question,
and the importance of Intelligent action
to prevent the ravages of scab, were
touched upon briefly. The speaker stronsr
ly deprecated any antagonism between
the Wool Growers' and the Wool Manu
facturers' associations, urging harmony
and concerted action. He commented at
some length upon the shoddy bill now
pending before congress. In conclusion
tne president said:
"We are reasonably certain that pres
ent protective tariff legislation will not
be disturbed and therefore we apprehend
no violent or sudden change in the Indus
try. With comparative freedom from ap
prehension on this score we should have
tlrae and Inclination to seek better meth
ode. of preparing our wool for market
and more satisfactory methods of mar
kettng; a better adjustment of forest
reserve conditions and better and closer
range relations; a better method for
complete eradication of disease, and by
ait means, oetter rates and increased fa
cuttles for shipping our product. All
these subjects I commend to your atten
tion and" action."
During the morning session tardy or
Delated delegates began arriving singly
and in squads and quietly took their
seats. President Warren's address, read
from manuscript, was Intently listened
to. At its close it was warmly ap
piauaea.
The annual report of the secretary.
Hon. Mortimer Levering, was read by
Tea f. jonnson, who acted as bis as
slstant and representative, Mr. Lever
lng not being able to attend the conven
tlon. The secretary's report follows:
"As the new constitution and by-laws
permittea, xor the nrst time, the receiv
ing of association as members, we have
devoted a large amount of attention to
wards this work, and while results as
yet are not large, we have reason to
expect that within a short time we shall
include In our membership roster the
names or practically all of the Western
associations. During the latter part of

Protests Against JTorest ReserveeX
"One of the first subjects? brought
to the attention of your swsretary was
a vast number of complaints regarding
tne wholesale establishment of forest
reserves and the general turning out of
sheep from the areas so Occupied by the
government. The complaints coming to
my office Indicated" much Inconvenience
and some actual loss to the flockmasters
because of this policy on the part of
the national government, In the ab
sence of any well-defined policy on the
part of this association there was very
little) that we could do. - All the com
plaints were, referred through the presi
dent of this association to the proper
authorities, and during the visit of Prea
MehtJR.ooseyeItjto.the WesLlastsprlng
your president was able id call his at
I tentlon to some of the conditions to
which our-members have objected. As
la result an order was issued to elimi
nate the non-forest portions of the re
serves, as far as possible. , i' .'
- Conference With Manufacturers.
: 'As there has been much complaint In
regard to our rather primitive methods
. of marketing wool, your secretary began
' correspondence with officers of the Na
tional Association of Wool Manufactur
ers, with a view to discovering, if pos
slble, the possibility of making improve
ments that would be of benefit to our
members. This correspondence ulti
mately led to the arrangement of a con
ference between committees of the two
associations. One of the matters con
sidered at this meeting was the so
called "Grosvenor shoddy bill,' now pend-,
nig in the lower house of congress. While'
i understand that this proposed legisla
tion originated through sheepmen In the
National Livestock association, and was
presented and urged by that organisa
tion, this association has never - for
mally acted in regard to it or consid
ered it. Inasmuch as the National Asso
ciation of Wool Manufacturers has ex
hibited great objection to this measure.
the committee on conference requested
from the members of that association
at the conference, arguments and rea
sons for their objection to the measure.
The arguments presented appeared so
reasonable, and were so beyond the abil
ity of your committee to refute, that on
behalf of this association we requested
from the manufacturers a proposition
for shoddy legislation according to their
Ideas of what might be done and yet
not damage the manufacturers, as they
insist the proposed Arosvenor bill would
f enacted into law. '
'The word "shoddy apparently means
two very different things to' the manu
facturer, and woolgrower. To the manu
facturer It simply means wool of , a
certain kind, and to the average wool
grower and layman it means old. dirty
and filth-laden rags, so worn and de
cayed as to be unfit for any proper use
for mankind. Even the members of
this association on that committee,
many of them for years engaged In
the wool Industry, were obliged to con
fess that they had never seen shoddy,
and they vwere shown some, and the les
son learned was so Interesting that we
have asked the secretary of the manu
facturers organization to present this
object lesson to the1 delegates at this
convention, - . , .
'. Misrepresentation Stopped.'
It will be thus seen that the con
ference finally reached eommon ground
In the agreement that misrepresentation
should be stopped, and It was agreed that
the manufacturers would try to present
at this meeting a suggestion for legis
lation to reach that result, upon which
tney could join us in active support.
Their objections to the Grosvenor bill
related largely to technical matters in
relation to manufacture and trade which
they believe would seriously hamper
tneir industry and be indirectly re
flected upon the . woolgrowing industry.
Tour committee expressed the opinion
that no such result was aimed at by the
promoters of the Grosvenor bill, and
agreed to bring the matter to the at
tention of the association at this con
vention."
. The annual report of the treasurer,
Mr. A. J. Knollin, who was unable to be
present,' was read by Mr. Johnson. It

was In discovering the meeting Place.
Until noon no Blgns were placed on the
Selllng-Hlrsch building, and a small
elevator boy who cried, "This way to

Wandering delegates with grips full of
collars and specked apples were seen
wandering , about In perplexity until
signs were placed telling where the
convention was being held.

Hot Apple Talk.
The fruitgrowers say that the whole-
sale men receive too great a share of
the profits, and Cite the New Tork re
tall market and the Oregon frultman's
receipts as proof conclusive. Some time
during the convention a discussion will
be held on the beet means to boost the
apple price, and when it does come there
will be some lurid speeches made bylr
suffering applegrowers, who think they

The Elaborate Badges.
The badges of the officers are some
what striking, not to say startling.
They consist of a long colored ribbon,
plentifully befringed with gold lace,
surmounted by a bronse bar with the
name of the office, and are further orna
mented wun a meaaiiion snowina a
plate of fruit painted in natural colors.
For strlklngness of design and florid
coloring, also for Impressive porno and
gay ornamentation, these insignia cast
a deep shade over even the rabbit-foot-
sombrero badge of the St. Joseph dele
gates to the national stock convention.
Officers of the association, adorned with
the symbol of their power, unconsciously
step a uttie nigner ano a little slower
than the common delegates, who have
only a small ribbon badge with a smaller
fruit medallion.

We are not here to express opinions
but to hear what the neotria hav tn
say and get facts.f said $Ufford Plnchot,
chief forester of the department of ag

engineer of the reclamation service of
the geological survey, and W. A. Rich- -ards,
from the arid lands commission
appointed by the president to investi

arrived in Portland Sunday night with

present. f(( ,
RECLAMATION
"The president requested hat we mm. ,
on to Oregon and find out from th nn.
pl'e themselves what their desires are and
wnai ineir complaints consist of. Mr.
Newell Is allowed to talk Irrigation and
I am permitted to talk forestry. Fur
ther than, that we cannot express our
selves, ; ' .- v I : ; .
"I have no set speech nrennrmt 'ami t
other than making explanations of the
government's policy. I cannot give any
opinion. I will say this, however, that
I believe a' majority of taose dlssatiu. -
fled with forest reserves are unac
quainted with the real facts. It is not
a question of taking away lands, but to
determine the way in which they can ba
pmi-eu vo ine oen use. ' .
"During my stay in Portland I win
be pleased to have all persons Interested
In forest reserves, reclamation of arid '
lands, the stone and timber act, etc,
call on me, and if they have grievances,
let them state them."
BY ELECTROCUTION
' DOG SAVES A LIFE
On Saturday night a number ,nt
electric wires were down In various
parts ot the city. At Thirteenth and
Burnslde a dog belonrina- to sviw..i
Gloss was electrocuted and probably
saved the life of his mistress by giving
his death struggle. The fire department
was called out and one of th nd...
became entangled In a wire and a display
of fireworks followed. Fortunately none
of the horses or men came In contact
with the deadly circuit
. The cause Of the disturbance was the
high wind which u prevailed Saturday
night between 10 and 11 o'clock. Tho
wind broke or, crossed the wires. , '
The wind which reached Portland was
the ragged edge of the hurricane which
was blowing on the coast The vinM
attained on the coast was an average of
about 70 miles an hour with a maximum
probably 100 miles.
