THE, OREGON- SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLA NDtv SUNDAY. . MORNING. DECEMBER ?; IS. 1918. ) STAY WITH STOCK EOF ST. PAUL VISITOR i i William McGivney, President of Union Stockyardsi Says this Is ideal State for Livestock. OPPORTUNITIES AWAIT CITY Diversity of Products Bound 1 to Bring S uccess j Farnbrs Are Urged to Raise Cattle for Mart "Oregon is Meal for raising stock. declared William McOivney, president of ths St. Paul Union Stockyards, one of the vltltors at the Pacific International Livestock exposition at North Portland, Friday. It waa tn the office or w. 11. Daughtry, president of the Portland Union Stockyards, where Mr. McOlvney met an old friend whom he had not seen "for years, E. K. Favllle, editor of the Western Farmer. Mr. Daughtry was there, as well as C. M. McAllister and tt. I. Carpenter, both well known men In livestock affairs. They passed Jokes back and forth until they wound around to the matter of chief Interest to .All of them. 1 the Itvestock Industry. They touched; on the lack of cooperation In the Paclfle International Livestock exposition which ended at the stockyards Friday, and Mr. McOlvney got Interested. In what Port land might do if it would settle down to a proper realization of what It had at hand. Portland Losing Opportunity j '"Most people," he said, "don't see op portunities till they have gone by, i and '.then 'It Is too late to catch them. Port land. It seems, for want of a little co- oDeratlon with livestock men. Is about to let go of an Industry that Is bringing to the dty annuafty In cash, not less than $18,000,000." -yea,"' put in Mr, McAllister, "the people here will" pay all kinds of money for a rose festival which bring people here who spend a nickel for peanuts nd another nicked for popcorn. ; Tet they won't give anything to keep an Industry here In which every sale Is en a strictly cash basis and always .runs Into the hundreds or thousands of dollars." "Of course the rose festival Is all right,' went on Mr. McGivney, "but It Is not as valuable to the city as the livestock exposition. livestock and wheat make a community. Portland has both. It has a ereat Inland Empire tributary to it ; it has railroad and shipping facilities here. All it has to do is to reach out Its hand and get what It needs. Climate Ideal for Stock "Oregon has no long hard winter to make stock raising difficult. The cli mate and' character of the country is 'ideal for stock raising. This la the greatest place for livestock In the coun try. There la one other section of the Unlted States which Is as good, and that 1s down Jn Florida, but the Indus try Is not as well started down there as it is here. The breeds and quality- of cattle here are as good as those any where. ! "What Is needed Is cooperation. The business man must work with the pro- "ducer,-not against him. There should 'have been no question as to where to hold this exposition. The stock yards Is the only logical place. I have visited a good many livestock expositions, tut l ' have never seen one that was much of a success when held in the business part "of , the city. It wouId)be just as sensi ble to hold the rose festival In the " stock yards as to hold the livestock ex ' position in the city. "The main Idea Is to get together Meet the buyers and traders. Get thera In the habit of comlng-here. In St. Paul there Is a certain place where I have to go frequently. All of the railroads go through It, and I might a well take any one of them. Yet time after time ,1 take the same one. . Treat the Bayers Right ' "li Isn't because It gives any better . service, for sometimes I might get better accommodations on some of the others. -It Is because I can go there with my .eyes closed and get off at the station and walk right where I want to go, with my eyes closed. If I go on to one of the other towns, I've got to stop and . look around after T get there. It Is '.the same way with buyers that come to the city. Give them the glad hand when they get here. Show them around to the stores. Make them feel at home. Gel them acquainted with the stores so that they know right where to look for what they want, and you will get them - In the habit of coming here. Then, Be long as they are treated fairly 'and edur teously. you can't drive them iaway."i "Portland . business men." remarked Mr. Faville,vare - not ready, to make ,a heavy contribution now and then to get -an Industry Into, the-city which Is -Just starting. - In : another city, smaller - In, size, that I know of.- an exposition re-i oently wejtb. atxsut 2000.'ia- ttie, .note -and the business men arot together arid paid It up wlth never a question.? ' Returns Bound to Show v "Ot'ooOirse.! continued Mr. . McGivney, "it Isn't always easy , to . get people' to .B"lve . their money to something, when they do -not .see the return. And that la one feature ' In ' the livestock Industry. Toil can't-lay your finger on. the return 'from the Investment. When the business '.man take money out of his bank ac count and puts It Into a livestock expo sition, he can't look around later on and .say, 'Here Is where that money t- " .turned.' The rtturn Is there, however, Ithough It may have come In through several channels, . , t v"I don't mean to say that everyone who comes, along and wants to start some 'thing should be given unlimited funds. The giving must be judicial. Utilize the equipment already on hand. For -example, here you have your stockyards -with their railroad facilities already at "hand and being Increased, you have street 'car transportation which Is also "being Improved, I understand, and you have a paved highway all the way out : from the city. Here Is the place to ; 'center your livestock Industry, and here Ms the place for the livestock exposition. 'Keep your- equipment in use.

For the same- reason the department store can a'fford to sell goods more cheaply than small stores which carry only one line of goods. "Farmers and stockmen can do the same thing. Perhaps there are times when the ground Is Idle, and then Is the time to raise something else. The stock raiser may be able to plant some thing on his ground, and the farmer may be able to take a little livestock to fat ten for the market. Fanners Need Livestock "Livestock goes hand In hand with ag riculture. A farmer cannot kep'raU Irig products on his ground unless be fertilizes It. If he tries to do It he Is mining his ground, taking the fejtllttyi out of It. Just as the miner takes ore out of his mine, and seme day It will be exhausted. Livestock furnishes this fertility, which must bet restored to 'the soil by means of fertilizers. A farmer who thus diversifies his products, using two which by their natures go together. Is bound to be successful. Here In the Northwest the .climate permits widely diversified farming. I" Mr. McGivney is In a position to know. He was on the Sioux City Journal many years ago and handled the market news. From that he went into the livestock In dustry, starting In the sheds as one of the hands. He finally became president of the St. Paul Union Stockyards, and It has grown to 10 times the size it was when he first took It over. He knows the business from all angles and he strikes one forcibly at first sight aa being, a good, logical business man, who says something .worth saying. It Is said on good authority that he is in this country In the interests of one of the big five packing companies. - , He leaves the city, today with Mrs.- McGivney, after a stay of one week . at the Benson, for- Seattle, where he will epend a short time before returning to St. Paul.

SUGGESTIONS FOR PROPER TORM OF MEMORIAL MANY Keen Interest Held by People of Oregon Is Shown by Numerous Letters Received by Committee TWO GENERAL CLASSES Highways or Buildings Such as Hospital or for Patriotic Pur poses Predominate. A growing Interest c in the plan to construct through popular subscrip tion a fitting memorial. to the soldiers and sailors of - Oregon in the great world war, is indicated by the sug gestions which are coming to the com mittee appointed . to recommend the form In which the memorial should be expressed. This committee, which consists or 15 members, has for its chairman Will Moore, collector ot U. S. cus toms at Portland. J. Frank Lonergan Is secretary. It Is expected by the chairman to call ; the committee to gether In a few days to bej-Jn consid eration of the types of memorial sug gested, but In the meantime further suggestions will be welcomed. Plans Will Be Studied A detailed study will be made of those plans which have attractive feat ures. Until the form of the memorial Is decided upon it will not, be possi ble to make much progress- as there will be -no objective to work to. An keeping with the character of the un dertaking the committee feels that It should proceed with the greatest of deliberation and make haste slowly. Suggestions received thus far are divided Into two general classes, me morial highways or memorial build ings .to be used either as a hospital or as a1 headquarters for patriotic in stitutions. An evidence of state wide lnteront In the matter Is found in the fact that many suggestions come from points outside of Portland. From Salem, Albany and other W.l lamette valley towns come recommen datlons of a highway. Albany sug gests that the proposed memorial high way between Portland and Salem be extended to that. city. From Hood River and Eastern Oregon come ex rresslons In favor of the proposed Mount Hood highway. Alderman's Suggestion Jfovel A novel suggestion made by L. R. Alderman, former superintendent or Portland schools, is the bolldlng of shin to be used as a school for teaching seacraft. Mr. Alderman says: "The patriotism of Oregon people, that has been a revelation to the world in the offerings It has made of men. labor and money to the world's great cause, now seeks an opportunity to ex Drees Itself in a memorial to our sol iers and sailors. It would be too bad If we did not. "What form shall the memorial take? offer the suggestion that we build In the Portland shipyards a ship for a Fchool that will teach, among other things, seacraft. A great highway is a beautiful thing, and one leading to the state capital has suggestions that are pleasing. Still, we already have highways, and our young men will go to the state capital without a memorial road to lead them there. But in the meantime, nature's road, that leads out upon the lordly Columbia to the ocean that connects the contl nents. is practically a closed road to our young men. Our young men's minds must be turned to the sea. We can vote bonds for docks, we can talk about shipping, about putting the port In .Portland, about roreign commerce, as long as we like, that is all good and necessary ; but until our people know and love the sea. and our young men go out tn ships, and our business men think tn terms of sea commerce and are willing to Invest their money and their sons, we shall not be a great' port. In shipping, as In other enter prises, the human side is the important side. Docks and deep channels and a clear bar are not the only require ments. We are asking the government to continue the contracts for shipbuilding. as we are one of the great shipbuilding centers of the country, why not build a ship to be used for the advancement of the young men of Oregon? A school on a shin, with boys studying the world by -visiting it, will appeal to anyone's Imagination. The momorial fund should be large enough not only to equip the snip, out to make it a real school as welL" Victory Piaae Fields ' Another unique Idea is that of Percy Blyth who advocates a chain of "Vic tory airplane fields' or a series of parks throughout the state where airplanes might land. These parks he says can oe - made beautiful and perform great service In the coming air . transporta tion. .There Is also contained, says he. the idea of commemorating the fact that it waa from Oregon spruce forests the wings of airplanes used in the war came and win come in the future. There is also embodied the thought, he adds. that the state motto Is "She Files With Her Own Wings. The suggestion of the establishment of a memorial hospital In conjunction with the medical school of the state university is indorsed by the Oregon State Medical association and others. Others suggest a building which can be used as a home for the Oregon Pioneer association and serve as headquarters for all patriotic organizations. 1 Great Variety of Ideas Another suggestion Is the establish ment of a home for care and training of the children of soldiers and sailors. The erection of a great shaft on which is to be mounted a gigantic searchlight to light up the harbor of Portland is rec ommended by a prominent business man. A memorial park on the heights west of Portland Is also suggested. still anotner suggestion la a con valescent and rest home provided with social ' and recreational features for wounded soldiers and sailors. There are others who suggest that the best type of memorial that could be erected would be some plan to Insure the survivors of the war j employment and an opportunity to live and In other ways render more than lip appreciation. - Director Fuller Resign.

L RELIEF IS SANITARIUM BY LANE Secretary of Interior Says Morn- ingside Hospital Appropri ation Is Too Low,' Washington. D. 0 Dec. 14. (WASH INGTON BUREAU OF THE JOUR NAL.) Further relief for the Morning- side hospital, conducted by Dr. Henry Waldo Coe at Portland, Or.. In the sums allowed by the government for the care of Alaskan Insane Is recommended In- the annual report of Secretary Lane. On recommendation of the department con-s gress made a deficiency appropriation early In the year. Increasing the amount previously paid to $35 per month per patient. Secretary Lane says a further increase is warranted by the present cost and asks early action. His report contains the following statement concerning the Portland Institution : "Under contract with the secretary of the Interior, the legally adjudged Insane of Alaska are cared for at the Mornlng- slde Hospital, near Portland, Or., the contractor for the last 144 years being The Sanitarium Co. In all, 743 persons have been admitted to the hospital. On June 30 there were 211 patients In the establishment, an Increase of two over the fiscal year 1917. This distribution was as follows: Males 186, females 25. There were 55 receptions during the year, 37 discharges and 18 deatha "Commencing on July 1, 1918. the rate paid per patient is $35 per month. This rate, however was based upon conditions as of July 1. 1917, and is not an ade quate compensation on which to furnish the best of care and subsistence and to defray the heavy overhead expenses. Relief should be afforded The Sani tarium company at the earliest possible moment.
