have been gloriously Satisfied with the

Ex-President John W. Springer, for
seven--years the leader and, together
v. with Jerry Simpson, the wit of the Na
': tlonal Livestock ' association, epigram
matlcally summed up the. matter to
The Journal last evening. He said:
"Every delegate will go home a walk

Clark fair." said he. "'We have had it

, 'The event will be certainly a great
one for Oregon. The whole nation is
awakening to the desirability of cele
brating the discovery and acquisition of
this magnificent country.
Pleased With Portland . Hotels. '
? About -hotels and accommodations?
Let me say that there has not been one
kick of any description concerning Port
land's hotels no one. It has never
happened before at any other conven
tion. There has not been the slightest
hint of a holdup by those controlling
accommodations here- this week. Rates
have been reasonable and. as I said, not
an objection has been raised. .
"There Is no "reason, that I can see,"
he continued, "why Portland should not
be able to handle all the people who will
attend the fair in 1905. . This city has,
at present, as good and ample hotel ac
commodations any city its . slse
west of St Louis. With the expected
growth during the next year you will
. be fixed for the crowd. While I'm talk
ing, let me menttjm the revelation
; which I think this convention was to
, Portland and. Indeed, to the rest of us.
No abler addresses on the subjects have
ever been prepared and delivered than
those listened to this - week.. The
speeches made by Judge Cotton Presl
' dent Stubbs and Governor ' Wells ; of
' Utah would grace the floor of the United
, States senate. The audiences have been
very attentive and appreciative of , the
s programs. They have seemed to realise
. that , they were . listening ';. to great
, things.- . .i,
Secretary Vartla oa the Fair. '
Secretary Charles F. Martin, nerhana
'the busiest man in Portland during this
week, found time to speak a favorable
.word for the 1905 fair, last evening:
' )"'here is i nothing too good to say
about the prospects' for the Lewis and
Clark exposition," said he. with en
thusiasm. "I can say that the live
stock delegates are Jretty - well per
meated with the Idea of the fair, and
cannot help exuding a sort of Lewis
and Clark atmosphere wherever - they
go. I : am Impressed - with- the impor
tance of the celebration personally, and
shall never let slip an opportunity to
ssy a - good word for the - event. . It
should be a great summer for Oregon
In 1905. What the livestock association
can do for Portland between 'now and
the opening of the fair, it can and will
do, and with enthusiasm."
' Jerry Simpson lit tine.
From the lips of the sage and wit of
the convention, the Right Hon. Jere
miah Simpson of New Mexico, came ad
ditional approving - words of the cen
tennial,...' . ,
. "You can, "say as many good things
as you can about that 1905 fair and then
" you haven't' said half enough," said he
with a confirmatory grin, "The whole
nation,, he added with an oratorical
sweep of his aims, "is going to Join
Heart ana body with Oregon to com
memorale that great occasion when
Colonel Lewis and Captain Clark ex
plored this magnificent country and
opened it to , the white man. To see
these magnificent stretches of 5 incom
parable valleys, the forests and moun
tains, the rich cities and the modern at
tainments of the Northwest, and then to
declare the object of the. 1905 fair an
unworiny or unimportant one, is trea

here next year should and will be a suc

his unqualified expressions of delight
at the manner of entertainment in Port
land. , . , ,

Jonathan Heaton of i Kin county.
Utah, spoke of Utah's part In the cele
bration of the 1905 exposition He said
his people felt a neighborly interest in
Oregon's proceedings and a real manl
f estation of the state's Interest would
be made at the western world's fair.
. Heber J. Meeks, also of Utah, co
lnclded enthusiastically with all favor
awe v.iewaof -the-falr.
Theodore ' X. Jones, manager of the
El Paso, Tex., stockyards, declared that
Portland could take care of an exposl
tion crowd as easily as she could a con
vention crowd. "And the fair is at
tracting great attention in Texas," be
said. f ? :- - r::-
- George S. Hickox, not a delegate,-but
government inspector of livestock In the
North westi has -been an attentive lis
tener during convention week. -"Port
land needn't worry.v. but must work,'
said he. ' "There .is no doubt of the
ability to carry on a big exposition here,
and the way you have started out indi
cates success in every particular." v
C. II. Bean, livestock agent for the
Missouri Pacific railroad, ; said: "The
railroads are In line for it and will cer
tainly help. Colorado will be right along
In front, too." . ' ; .
G. P. Robinson, 'manager of the
Pueblo, ' Colo., - stockyards, was glad .to
add an enthusiastic and optimistic opin
ion on the fair. He was in favor of
making livestock a leading feature of
the exposition. diV a.
Dr. J. E. Stubbs, president of Nevada
state university, stated that the expo
sition would certainly be a grand oppor
tunity for the United States to do honor
to the heroism, valor and great states
manship which gave the Oregon terri
tory to this country. "It can't be too
broad In its scope," said Dr. Stubbs,
because Oregon and the West contains
almost everything to be found under the
sun." ' ': .
: Governor Heber M. Wells, the popular
young chief executive of Utah, is In
favor of every measure likely to en
hance" the success of th8 Lewis and
Clark centennial. "Put me in line and
up among the front people," said he.
Say all the nice things about the fair
and Ongon you can think of and. at

"BRICK" JOHNSON
TRIED TO SHOOT
, (Journal Special Berrice.) - . ' . :
Helena, Mont., Jan. IS. A ' Billings
special today says: v Sheriff Shackel
ford of Oregon left today on the west
bound train with "Brick" Johnson, who
is -wanted in that state for attempted
murder. It appears that while under
the influence of liquor, Johnson created
quite a disturbance at Enterprise, Or.,
and when an officer was sent to quiet
him he began to shoot. It was on this
account he was indicted. , -.
The sheriff says Johnson' Is not so
bad as painted, and comes of a very re
spectable family, and that hs was in
dicted simply because the court wishes
to break up the habit, too largely in
vogue in many western cities; of people
carrying and using firearms on the
slightest provocation.

"I wish I knew how to thank you for

had I not taken it, for the -doctors said
they could do nothing rfor me.
"My limbs, from the knees down,
were badly bloated and' quite painful. I
was nervous and my back ached so in

Proposes a Stock Census.
There is one very Important matter
that will be taken up in the near future
and that is a classified census of the
stock industry and agricultural prod
ucts. You know the cotton census is
taken each year for the benefit of the
cotton growers. ' The - value of cotton
produced last year In the United States
was $3,707,000, and the cost of taking
the census was II for each $3,707 worth
of cotton 'crop. The livestock industry
has invested $$,000,000,000. the value of
by-products of this industry and the
amount Invested is $1,500,000; the value
of staple farm crops is $2,600,000,000,
an aggregate of $7,000,000,000, and not
a shadow of a census is annually taken
for the purpose of trade. ' -
"We insist, and all must admit, that
the cotton census only affects, or even
interests, a small portion of the coun
try, and a limited, a very limited, num
ber of producers, while the stock and
agricultural products vitally affect every
square inch of the entire nation. The
cost of the proposed census would ' be
about $1,600,000 annually, or a cost of
$1 for each $3,848 annually produced.
considerably less than the cotton, cen
bus in proportion to its value.
Great Xmportanea of Census.
"This census is absolutely needed to
tell 'the stdekmen and farmers of the
country whethec prices are the result
of supply and demand or the result of
corporation manipulation. Wet also
would state that while you can get an
exact estimate of the cotton production
by the amount shipped each year, you
can not do this with either sfock or
farm products. We will have a suitable
law drawn up, and will present it at the
next session of congress, asking that
such a census as above outlined be taken
each year. '
"Another matter that will require our
lmedlate attention Is the amendment of
the Grpsvenor mixed-goods bill. This
bill provides that every suit of clothes
sold shall bear a tag telling whether
it contains shoddy, or cotton, or is all
wool. - The bill was introduced at our
request, but later was found to be likely
to work an unnecessary hardship on the
wool manufacturer, without doing us a
particle of good, so at our request it
was held up and is stilt in the hands of
the house committee, waiting amend
ment that will make it a wise measure.
We will confer with the wool manufac
turers and will so change the measure
that all parties will be benefited. This
is to be our future course from now on.
and conference, not battle, should be our
motto. ,
WUI Use Corporation Methods.
"There Is Just one thing more con
cerning our future plans. We will begin
to adopt the methods used by all suc
cessful corporations, as far as organiza
tion Is concerned. For Instance, our
freight rater and similar questions will
be taken up by a-bureau of transporta
tion, which, shall have our best men on
It In the past all this work has been
generalised, and has been done any old
way. - From now on we will centralise, or
ganise 1 and localise power under these bu-
reauswhlch will have only their own. work
to do, which will only be composed of
mien expert in 'the work of the bureau,
and which will proceed, backed by the
entire association. We are not incorpor
ated, but we must , use the business
methods that always govern1 large bod
ies of interested . men and work, work,
work, must be our notto. Work that
is not haphasard, not disconnected, not
by chance, but wisely planned, care
fully executed and' unremittingly car
ried out." , r
-'John W. Springer of Denver, In com
menting on the addressof W. W. Cotton
of Portland, on the relations of trans
portation companies and the livestock
Industry said: v ,
'The argument presented was' very
good, and the suggestions made for re
moving some of the difficulties under
which the stockmen are now laboring
were liberal. ; While It is true that the
railroads are put' to more expense and
take more risk in the hauling of live
stock than they do in handling' some
other class of freight. ' it Is true also
of dollars each. year. The rail
roads whavo always bad for the stock
men many promises for-, the future.
These ithey have been slow to meet. It
has oOst the stockmen the' great bulk
of their profits' paying freight 'to the
railroad companies. .,:.::. .
"The railroad companies have discrim
inated against stockmen In the hauling
of both meat' and cattle on , the hoof.
They have played Into the bands of the
packers' trust; have given them a re
bate, on all shipments, which froze out
the independent shipper.
"The stockman' la built on a broad
gauge plan and only wants 'what is
Just. lie wants to live and help others
to live. Rather than' to, squabble he
will stand more or less imposition. He
figures that he is getting the worst of
it rrom . tne railroads, wnicn. nave in i
many Instances decided on a petit lar-1
ceny treatment of stock shippers. One
act is the refusal to give a shipper
transportation to his home, after he has
shipped probably a train load of cattle
and paid the company thousands of dol
lars.
' "Unless some- fair concessions are
made the stockman will, go into every
legislature; west of the Mississippi and
secure the passage of laws which will
force the transportation : companies to
oome to terms. The railroads are reg
ulated in Texas and can be regulated in
other states. The stockmen have It in
their power tO'get .what they want and
will have It before they get through.
They don't care a snan about the wealth
of Vanderbllt, Oould, Rockefeller, Hill
or any other magnate. I don't think
that - the railroads or their-owners are
the whole United States and should be
permitted to do as they please for their
own profit as against the prosperity of
tha masses." . . ..

Why Wot So Xt Themselves.
W. C. Seacbrest. North Pacific, coast
agent of the New York Central lines,
said today in speaking of the brokerage
question: - ' 1
-"The railroads can drive out the
ticket brokers in a year if they want to.
Tha trouble is that some roads cater to
and do business through the broker.
The return trip ticket is the thing that
aids the broker to live, and it is the
only thing that really supports him.
, How Xt Can Be Dona.
"Issue a mileage book good for one
fare, Pullman and dining car privileges,
and make this at the lowest mileage
point Make such a book good on every
road in the United States and sell It for
600, 1.000 or 10,000 miles, as the pur
chaser desires. Then, and this Is the
Important part, allow the purchaser, or
anyone else, to return unused mileage
coupons and secure cash for them. This
would do away with the return ticket
business and would stop ticket peddling,
for the passenger could get full value
for any part of his unused coupon
book. Make the mileage book good for
travel direct without bothering about
exchanging it for a ticket, as the scrip
system compels the traveler to do.
"Railroad men know they can stop
the brokers' work, by such a measure
and most of them are willing to adopt
the plan, but a few roads persist in
favoring the broker and refuse to do
anything against him.
NEED THE MONEY
' FOR PUBLICATIONS
One of the reasons why the proposed
pleasure excursions for the entertain
ment of the delegates and visitors was
abandoned was thus explained by retlr
Ing President Springer of the National
Livestock association:
"It was concluded that It would be
wiser to expend our money for the
publication of the proceedings and other
necessary expenses of this convention.
Much as. we would -have liked to have
made the Columbia river trip in a body
or to have taken the trip to Astoria, we
concluded to forego them."
Despite this announcement. It Is very
probable that Individual members of the
convention will make these trips.
