He gave a resume of the business In the past why New Hampshire was the pasturage grounds of other states. This Is all changed now, transportation methods have revolutionised the past and now the livestock business has moved west ward, perhaps never to return. The Yankee has Ingenuity and has adapted himself to new -conditions, and has no use for the poorhouse. New Hampshire, no longer an agricultural state, Is now one of the greatest manufacturing states In the union, in proportion to its size. It has 10 Industries represented. He reviewed the cotton, shoe, woolen, lum ber, paper, hosiery,-dress goods, food products Industries. He spoke of the great . mountain summer resorts. 1 All these compensate the loss of Cattle and farming industries. Then the granite Industry yields New Hampshire $5,000.- sjsf 000 per year. Jerry Simpson's Speech. .Jerry Simpson of New Mexico was greeted with a salvo of applause. Taking a glass of water, he said: "Here's lookln" st you. It's the thinnest drink I've seen since last night It's like ra dium. I drank IB tons Of Oregon water to get a little champagne last night New Mexico's cattle Industry la tot as prosperous as sheepraising. The govern ment ordering down drift fences has worked a hardship.' The leasing, of the public domain Is of vast Importance and there should be some means of allot ment ;: f . . Makes a Suggestion. ' "I believe this convention ought to take action and bring about' a leasing of the public domain. That's a practical solution of the question. You ought to send Brother Springer to Wanhlngton a petition that walks on two legs." " Speaks on Wall Street. ' Mr,: Simpson then cast some telling flings against Wall street -"On of the greatest enemies of 11 industries. It is that great center," said he, "which has organised the steel trust, with en empha sis on the 'steel The time has come for you pioneers to have- a voice in the affairs of government. Jim Hill has beautifully said of the railroads it Is net a trust or a pool, but 'a community of interests.' The kicker gets what he's after. It doesn't do ti sit and wait for the other fellow. . ' Coaeer&laf Mew Mexleo. "We haven't got any representation In New Mexico. Our cattle and sheep In dustry ought. to be in a flourishing con dition. ' The latter is; the former is Dot I'm a free trader. "I was amused and Instructed by the remarks of the New Hampshire delegate. The Yankee Is all right It's a big piece of luck that those Pilgrim fathers landed on the Atlantic coast Instead of the Pa CMC. ; , ; f era to Kansas. "Our friend from Kansas forgot about the egg Industry, producing $4,000,000 annually, so the Kansas protection hen can lay In proud competition with the pauper hens of Europe. - "I told my wife that I was going to Portland to see the promised land, like Moses of old." : ... .

He said Oregon produced the hand somest Women in the world. -"And the homeliest men," said , Jerry Simpson.

" Jesse V. Smith Talks. Jesse M. Smith of . Utah said .that Utah heretofore was one of the largest sheep states In the union. "We have suffered from drought and restrictions on ownership. Our winter range shows 40 per cent less than last year. Mining ana bectraising are beooming our great industries, but I look to see our live stock Interests become greater la the ruture." . . . , Concerning Washington. X 8. Waterman of Walla Walla snoke fqr Washington.. He said Washington livestock Interests sre prosperous.

With breeding in the United States at a standstill for several years until re cently the demand for horses increasing, our country growing and improving with a rapidity surprising to the world, there is but one conclusion to be' reached. which Is, that there will always be room .at the top, and that success is assured to the man who' breeds the best.

We wonder why this is sot We have this great packing indus try, spanning the country from shore to shore, connected, as It Is, by rapid transit carrying the live product to be worked into enormous profits for the packer, and while we behold these pack ing combinations with their abundant profit makina. we turn for a mnmant in the producer.
