Twenty-ono of the 37 directors of the Independent Packing company will attend the live stock contention and Incidentally will Investigate the advantages of Portland as the luttire packing center of the l'aclllc coast, says tho Te'.egram. Thirc' are few Independent packing plants In the country of any magnitude nnd this will he the first nnd only one to bo established by tho stockmen of the United Stales to remain Inviolably In dependent of any combinations or al liances with others engaged In the business. Early during the history of tho two great organizations which am holding their seventh annual convention In Portland there was discussion among tho delegates as to ways and moans to prevent the periodical heavy loss es to those engaged In stocK raiting and feeding, occasioned by ruinously low prices. That was before the days of trust combinations, but not' before the packing concerns had found a belter than from any other part of the country, "livery Oregon farmer should be a Mock feeder." said .l.

Another Portland man, familiar with the Industry, pointed out tho saving of waste values that would result from establishing additional packing houses here, saying: "There Is at the present tlmo a loss of $a per head on almost every animal pi educed for beef in this Northwest country.
