"A strong argument against mov ing the conventions over the coun try." said Assistant Secretary Fred idr's cab Is at your Johnson, to a reporter In Portland, urs. Thone mini "is mat very irequentiy it will oe held In some place that Is not een- laes cleaned and luvuicu. as in me case m run- rfi 126 West Court mIlu' 11 IK KU lur au uum ine me- I slock center ttiat It is aimcult to se- meutnigs. People will not travel across tho continent: It requires too much time and the expense Is too heavy. This latter feature Is eEpsc lally prominent, since the railroads have shut down on transportation. "Perhaps a still stronger reason for selecting a central placu as a perma nent convention city is that more bus iness can be conducted in a shorter time. Whon we go to new cities each time preparations aro always made for slgbt-seeelng, and this takes the delegates away from tho meetings. The result is that it is difficult to get business done. If we select one placo they will have seen all the sights after one convention, and at subse quent ones they will have all their time to devote to matters that will come before the convention. "Denver has the first claim on this permanent location because It was there that the Livestock Association was formed. At that time we decid ed to send the conventions over the countrv to arouse an Interest In the miw-tlnes. This has been accompH3i od that It is time the associations were rnminir home. Tho door Is open and wo will ask them to come. We will make no fight, but wo hope to mniu them so the benefits or seui log In one place, and want to make that one place Denver.

"orange specials," "tea trains" and all other perishable stuff ran around livestock on the way to market at 50 miles per hour. The address was interspersed by constant applause, as he defiantly ac cused the beef trust of wiping from tne lace o nne earth one-fourth nf the wealth of tho stockmen with one stroke of a leadpencil in loweilug the prices of stock In the markets over which the trust ruled as a tyrant. in closing ho hoped the stockmen would put an Independent packing plant Into execution and at once re lieve the stockmen from the grasp of the octopus.

Rice, of the Dayton National Bank, Wll Be Cashier. T. C. Taylor has decided to refuse the offer of the board of directors of the First National Bank, of this city In which he was called to fill the place of cashier in place of C. 71. Wade, resigned, and tho bank direc tors have given out the following statement. "On giving mature deliberation to the offer made by tho board of direc tors of tho First National Bank to elect him cashier, Mr, T. C. Taylor has felt compelled to decjlne. Whllo he was the unanimous choice of the board, be felt that having accepted the trusteeship of the property -f C. B. Wade, it was his duty to give that matter bis attention until It was cleared up. Mr. G. M. Rice, cashier of the Co lumbia National Bank of Dayton, a very prosperous Institution, has beer tendered the cashlershlp of the First National, and it is understood that ce will accept," This seems to be the end ot tho bank cashlershlp question, and from what can be heard it Is satisfactory to the many. Whllo all of the depos itors and stockholders and the dlroc tors In the First National named Mr, Taylor as their choice for cashier it was decided that It would bo unwlso for him to tako the position under tho circumstances. LEVY REDUCED. Compared With Last Year Ten One half Mills Lesi. Tho county court today fixed tho county and Btate tax for Umatilla county at 20 mills, to be apportioned as follows: state tax. C.S mills; school tax, 4.1 mills; road tax, .1; general fund, 9,3. This fixes the levy higher than It was the intention of tho county court to nlace It by 2.2 mills, but they were forced into the higher ,rate by tho tn- quest of the stato for more funds this year than last. At tho last year's statement b.v the stato government, tho county was askod for $37,210. but ims jer 1110 request Is for $60,025, which it will bo seen from a glance forced the court to make tho higher levy. The increased demand by tho stato was caused by Increased expenses In. curred in many ways, chief anions these aro tho Items ot the specl.il session, nnd the appropriations 'or Lewis and Clark fair am! tho other appropriation for the Celllo rami right of way. Theso extra expenses, added to others not noted so promi nently, liavo forced the levy up hlsU. or than It otherwise would have been. From the statistics furnished to tin county court by tho secretary of state's otliCe. it win 1,0 t,,, ,1, UntiMa county furnishes .0490 per ccnl of ,ho ,0,aI laes ot the stale, , The county Is expected to raise $6S.- ,f, 'hT!11 statu ,ax- ,0 1)0 "SCl1 ,y lho slnto Kovernment for general expenses.

Thi.s ye,ar thu ctmnt-v tax s rnllls lower, the school district tax ban bom placed at ii mills, ngalnst the 10 mills of last year, and tho city tax Is yet to bo heard from. The city tax will be levied tomor ' mi. nvn,,in n, .,.,..ii v. . .. . .,....(( .in; lllVt'ln It was 9 mills last year, but It Id thought by those who have estimated that the levy will be fixed tomorrow evening at 7 mills. This levy will ralso from $1,200 to $1,400 more thm the rate of last year, and It Is thought that the council wll see fit to fix that amount In view of the condition of the city finances, and the strain that tl'e treasury has been put to, on ac count of the Improvements of tho pnbt jtar. If this amount Is levied it will make a total levy for this year o' 3fi C-10 mills, against the 17 mill !ey of last year. HORSE SHOEING IN SIBERIA. Barbarous Treatment of Animals by Self Taught Smiths. Consul R. T. Greener at Vladlvo tock, Siberia, sends tho following In teresting letter to the department of commerce and labor on the treatment of horses by the Siberian black smiths: Before the occupation by Russia of the Ussurl country and the coasts of the Pacific, the horse was unknown here. The natives were content with the service that dogs and reindeer could render them. The first hoiho made its appearance with tho first Russian settlers. Tho breed of horses was very unsatisfactory; they came either from Transbaikalia or from Manchuiia. During the last feu years western Siberia has supplied the Amur Provinces with horses. In 1902 about 1,500 of them arrived m this country. Dr. Doolsky, a veterinary surgeon, has received permission from tho mil itary governor to 0en a normal and medical horseshoeing establishment. Hitherto all horseshoeing has been performed, outside of tho cavalry, by self-taught blacksmiths. Naturally the work was crudely. Improperly and ofter very cruelly done, demanding the intervention of members of the local Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The horses suffered greatly Hoof diseases were irequent, and the ani mals soon becamo worthless, There are about 4,000 horses In this vicin ity, not counting artillery and caval ry mounts, driven mostly by Chinese. They are generally Korean ponlH, short, stocky and handy. They stand the cllmato well, pull most astound ing loads, aro willing creatures, but are unmercifully beaten. Thero aio few level streets in this city, so most of the work Is hill climbing. Shoes suitable for hill traffic aro needed. It Is estimated that each of the 4,000 horses needs shoeing at least ten times per year, at a cost of $10,87. Fifteen hundred horses would make a good business for tho new veterinary, not to mention the hum anitarian view of his work. Dr. Dool sky was shown a specimen of the Ak ron rubber shoe, happily sont to this agency, but what Is most needed are specimens of the latest pattern ot iron or stool shoes, especially those fitted without nails, easily put on and readily adjusted. They should bo sent via Moscow and marked "sam ples." Tosr1iic. "Are jou a murrU-d uinnV" Inquired1 the Iwjulsltlvu btruiigir. "No, sir." replied the other sadly. "Ob," said the (lint, "I trust jou will pardon tue Tor refoiiing U your reavement. I should not have upeued such u touching subject." "Touching describe It beautifully," murmured the other.

Enormous Receipts to the County on an Ordinary Volume of Business- Law Imposes Exorbitant Charges In Some Instances and Imposes Hard, ship Upon Individuals. The people are up against (mother of the laws made in a hurry by men who were afraid they would miss their Christmas dinner If they slay ed long enough to consider what they were doing when at tho special ses sion, and this time It Is tho now law passed regulating the foes to bo charged for the filing on Instruments In tho county olllcos, Tho Intent of tho legislators was good beyond a doubt, but oven the county officials w ho bavo the receiv ing of tho fees think that tho rates for filing and recording under the now law are more than should bo charg ed. Comparative Changes. Under the old law a person tiling a deed or a mortgage wbh charged it the rate of 10 cents for every 100 words, 20 cents for tho official certi ficate, und fi cents each for the In dexing. This, under tho old law, placed the price of recording nn or dinary deed at $1, wherens It Is now $l.2ri, ami of a mortgngo of iisunl length ut $1,60, whereas It now runs on nn average at $2 and $.1. The new law asks 25 cents 100 words for the recording In any coun ty of les sthan CO.000 Inhabitants of any deed, trust deed, declaration, eon tract, niortgage, chattel mortgage, bill of sale or any Instrument In writing required or permitted by law to be K-corded. By the hecoud section It asks t0 cents for entering marginal satisfac tions of mortgages, mechanics' liens, or other Instruments. Under the old law the charge wus 10 cents, which was too small, so that tho present piovlslons are about rlgut in that particular, Here Is an Inconsistency. Under the first section tho charges would bo all right for deeds and mortgages that i-ero short, nnd the Increase In cost of recording would be small, but, as It usually happens, the Instruments are of such length that the price tuns sometimes as high as $0 or more. In tho past olght days work In tho county recorder's office In this county tho fees rocoived have averaged over $21 a day, which breaks tho record by far, while tho number of Instruments filed was about the same. Question of Jurisdiction. In the Bccond and third sections of tho law there secnm to bu some doubt as to who has Jurisdiction. The law provides that In counties whero there aro less than 00,000 Inhabitants tho county clerk shall collect the fees named, provided that there Is no re corder of conveyances; and makos no provisions for tho collection of foes by the county clerk whoro there are both offices. In other words, by the exact reading of tho law It makes no allowance for the collection of any fees by any person othor than the re corder. For this reason tho clerk Is In doubt as to his procedure In mak- The Boston SHOE STORE WOMEN Who are paying $4' and $5.oo for their Shoes are invited to try the P1NUREE GLORIA at 43.50.
