Z ilin.dim more cattle were In the United States than the department of aKviciiltnre had estimated, l!),7G2,0u( more sheep, 29,500,000 more hogs, and 7,827,000 more horses were in the United States than tho department or agriculture hnd estimated. This Is wild guessing and shows the need of nn annual census. "Our condition Is bettor In some W speets than it was. For instance, we have succeeded In obtaining federal inspection of stock. Formerly if you shinned :i.r or -Us hundred head of sheep you were liable to be hold up at every state line you pnssed by the Ktate Inspector, who charged you a fee of two cents a head to pass your stock. This made a tax of from 8 or 10 cents a head by the time you had gotten to Chicago. Now you may se cure by applying to the bureau of an Imal industry, without cost, the in spuetlon of your stock by the federal inspector, who issues you a clean bill of health which covers every state in the Union. The Shoddy Issue, "V failed to pass the anti-shoddy bill. Payne of New York, the chair man of tlie ways and means commit tee in the house, would not bring It up. We wirod the prcBldont, sent pe titions by the score, called on Payne, but all to no avail. The trouble was that Ilunnn Is largely Interested in the shoddy mills ut Cleveland, O. The shoddy used in the United States is equal to the wool produced by 42, tWO.OOO sheep. If we only knew our strength we could control legislation and business. There are 8,000,000 votes In tho livestock business, with a capital of $4.r.00.o00,000 invested. More than the sugar ami steel Indus tiles combined, more than the whole' railroad Interest, yet we submit to their extortion. Just one instance. 'Refrigerator cars cost $1.25 jier 100 from Pendleton to Chicago, or $S.75 per car of 22,000 pounds., In addition, you pay $45 for icing the car. This requires 10 tons of Ice In transit and costs about $10t This makes a total -cost .of $315 per car. A -icar oi grain of . equal weight costs $12l and costn but $10 less t ohaul on 'account ot Ihavlng no Ice. The big packing combines, own nil the refrigerator' cars innd make an Immeusu profit, from thorn, and they catch you goltr and cumin' all right. "On all territory east oi" Utah com mon points the railroads have In creased the tariff 15 per cent beside falling to furnish cars when needed and their average time on stock trains is but eight miles ier hour. This causes a shrinkage In weight ot stock and a heavy feeding expense, We are seeking to have passed a law making our stock trains run 20 miles an hour, tho minimum speed. This will prevent shrinkage to a lurgo ex tent, and save so many feedings. As to Forest Reserve, "We need agitation on the forest reserve problem. Here is ono in' stance; Tho Fort Ha.i Forest lie' servo which has just been set aside. contains about (i.000,000 acres of land with little or no timber on it. It has been set aside to preserve the purity of tho sources of the water supply of Pocatello. "One hundred thousand dollars would build a splendid water system from American Falls of splendid, pure water. Instead of that, tho bot ting aHlde of the 0,000,000 acres of land costs $2,045,000 annual loss. It Would support 1,200,000 sheep, which would produco $1,500.000 , worth - of wuui mill $i,m!iw,ui;u imhvhi vi tiuuiivi. annually. It would glvfr $195,000 worth of wnges to 400 men who cared to Kanses City, Omaha, St, Joe, Chi carsass of beef yields a profit of "If a buyer from any of these firms Violates the agreement or pays more than the price agreed, that firm Is fined $1,000. The depression in price qn cattle averages $10 a head less than last year, or a shrlnkago of $08,000,000 in the value of our cattle from last year's price. There Is n shrinkage on the value of sheep of $80,000,000 and $120,000,000 on hogs, while dressed meat remains tho samo a sever. No wonder they are mak ing tholr millions from you. Every enrcas of beef yields them a profit of $f.43 on the by-products alone, while the meat yields them a profit of $4.50, making $10.94 profit on each beef carcass. Armour slaughters from 7, 000 to 10,000 a day In his various plants, so you can so his profits. "There Is no excuse for reducing tho price to tho producer and keep ing It up to the consumer, except that they can do so and they will do so as long as they can. "The solution lies In the Incorpora tion of the packing company to which the stockmen themselves will own and operate. Last week we incorpo rated in Phoenix, Ariz., for $5,000,000. Fifty-five per cent of this stock will be In tho hands of the board of direc tors, nil of whom must be stockmen. For $500,000 we can put up a plant that will care for 2,000 beeves, 4,000 hogs and 3,000 sheep a day, and we can pay $5 a head more for our stock and lower the price to the consumer, and still make a good profit. The stock will be $50 per share. There will he two directors from each state. Tho directors will be elected at Kan sas City on the 21 st of this month. With this competition we can raise the price of stock on foot to a more profitable basis for the stockgrower." After electing Congressman J, N. Williamson, J. H. Gwinn, Jlr. Ayrcs and Mr. Dobhinse as a committee on resolutions, the meeting adjourned. FIERCE HURRICANE. President Roosevelt Is in Great Dan ger From Heavy Seas. New York, Sept. Ifi. A furious hurricane struck the city at 11 this morning. Houses ot the suburbs are greatly damaged. Wire communication to the outside world Is entirely suspend ed. All business is at a standstill. Tho worst storm In this city for years. Intense darkness prevails with street lights all on. The government yacht Sylph, with Roosevelt and party aboard, which was expected to arrive at Ellis Island at noon, had not reported at 1 o'clock.

At 1:10 o'clock the president ar rived at Brooklyn navy yard, having given up the trip to Ellis Island be cause of the storm. The Sylph for a time was In grave danger.
