Interests opposed to the publica
tion of facts regarding the sale and
price of livestock & North) Portland
are trying; to force discontinuance of
the present practice of putting the
sale price on each weight ticket. A
meeting of the Portland livestock
Exchange will be held at 3 o'clock
this afternoon to vote. on j the pro
posal. , '. j .
For years some interests at the North
Portland stockyards have tried to. "do
business in the j dark" by withholding
sales from the public but the plan has
never been seriously considered byThe
trade tip to this time, and never before
has been brought tb a vote of the mem
bers of the Livestock Exchange.
Under the present system at the stock
yards the sale price of each lot of mv
irnals weighed is placed on the weight
ticket and it -is therefore impossible for
anyone to "do the shipper" out of any
of the price received. Under' the system
proposed it would be an easy matter for
the shipper to lose a portion of the price
paid. 4

GRIEF FOR DEAD
SOLDIER HUSBAND
DRIVES TO DEATH
Albany, Or? July 23. -A - pair of
house slippers side by side on the
bank of the Santiam ditch, less than
two miles from Albany, this morning
bore mute evidence of the unquench
able love 'of Mrs. Edyth Knox, aged
25, of Wichita, Kan., for her hus
band, who died nearly three years
ago of Influenza-pneumonia at Camp
Funston, Kansas, while serving with
the United Statee army. ?: Mrs. Knox
is believed to have committed suicide
by drowning, and a search is now
being made for her body, which is
believed to have remained in the
ditch. -
Mrs. Knox and her mother, Mrs. John
Samuels of Wichita, had come to Port
land jearly In the summer to visit With
Mrs. - Samuels' sister-in-law, Mrs. R- Ci.
Shaw, and with Mrs- Shaw's daughter,
Ida. and the three of them' came to
Albany two weeks' ago , to visit at the
home of Mrs. Samuels'-sister, Mrs. M.
E. Hunt, who lives on the Albany-Tangent
road, a mile 'and a half south of
Albany. r Yesterday- the young woman's
mother and the other members of the
party went to Newport' on a pleasure
trip, leaving Mrs. Knox at the Hunt
home, i : - , -
According to Mr. and Mrs. Hunt the
young woman had shown no signs of in
sanity yesterday and was not in unusu
ally low spirits; although she is known
to have been grieving over , the death of
her husband, Bert Knox, and to have
been In poor health that followed an at
tack of : Influenza that she contracted
while visiting with her husband at the
time of , his illness. She was small,
weighing only 80 pounds. ; J :
? Last night Mra Knox : went ' to bed
as usual after .writing a letter to a
friend living in Kansas. , This morning
at 5 o'clock she was found missing and
a thorough search 0f the bouse and
premises as well as of , surrounding
country failed to reveal a trace of her
until the slippers , were found, at , the
ditch,' which furnishes water for " the
city of Albany and. furnishes power for
the . Mountain States Power company
plant here. The ditch overflows into
the Calapooia near , its union with , the
Willamette. ' No other clothing of any
kind was left on- the bank, and Mrs.
Knox left her night clothes in her- room4
Only her underwear was found missing
this morning. The bridge at which Mrs.
Knox is believed to have met' her death
is near, the Albany-Lebanon railway
branch at a point nearly two miles from
Albany, i The water is swift, and 'it is
believed the body has been carried Into
Albany1. -
The letter, which was opened "- this
morning by Coroner Fisher. shed! no
light upon Mrs. Knox's state of mind,
it is said, and indicated no intention, of
suicide, i The theory is advanced that the
grieving widow suffered a momentary
fit of insanity that was brought : on' by
the combined influence of her grief, and
effects of illness. ' i
