Is ideal State for Livestock.

"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

' 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. If
: Scan't be used , all the year around for
-one thing, get .something else to occupy
It during the. ftme it would be idle.

No gladder homecoming can be
f,
such things In their stores and, conse
quently, make their sales force more
efficient and their overhead cost Is paid
through (many sources Instead of one.
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.

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

lui Business Success Means Service ;m
The man who does his work well does more for himself than
for any one else." Every big success tn business" or professional
life is based on the Idea of giving the public service superior
to that, furnished elsewhere.
That Is what has made the success of the Flnley organisation.
Our chapel, music room, reception roonrt, private waiting room :
for the family, private driveway, special auto service Is designed
and planned to give a superior - service. Every ' employe In the
institution is trained to render his or her very best personal
I effort. .
These are some-of the reasons why the name of Flnley stands
out above the name ot others for superior service, which always
Insures satisfaction.
