THE OBJECT IS TO SECURE
LOWER COMMISSION RATES.
History if a Movement of Great Im

er With the Underlying Causes
Willed Provoked and Reninnded It
Primary Piiiikisc of the Promot
ers Is to Sell Stock In Sniiill Block
anil to Mini) Pcoile.
James H. Owlnn. formerly of ren
dition, and who left here to become
secretary of the National Livestock
association, has been 1n the city to
day In the Interest of the Oo-oporativa
Livestock Commission company. He
arrived yesterday and after spending
a couple of days here, will visit other
points In the northwest, returning to
Denver via the Northern Pacific.
The Co-operative Livestock Com
mlrslon company was formed recently
under the auspices of the Natlona
Livestock association, National Wool
growe' association and the Corn
Holt Meat Producers' association. The
capital s'ork is $100,000, and of this
amount Mr. Owlnn states that $40,000
has nlrendy been subscribed by stock
growers who are Interested. The new
compnny proposes to have branches
at Chicago. Kansas City. Omnha, St.
Piiul, St. Joe. Fort Worth, St. Louis
and Denver. ' The object Is to secure
th lowest possible commission
charge for the livestock growers.
Regarding the reasons for the for
mation of the ro-operatlve company,
Mr. Owlnn said:
Why It Is Organized.
"One of the Important causes lead
ing up to the organization of this Co
operative Livestock Commission com
pany was the action of the commls
sion men In advancing their charges
for the sale of livestock. In July,
1906, the National Livestock Ex
change, composed of the livestock ex
changes from the different western
markets, held Its annual meeting at
Buffnlo, N. T., and recommended an
advance In commission charges. Their
recommendation was submitted to the
various local livestock exchanges, and
ns most people are willing to vote to
Increase their salaries. It Is not sur
prising that the proposition was car
ried by a large majority, the advances
to be put In effect on January 1,
190!.
"Previous to January 1. protests
ngninst the advances were filed with
the vailous livestock exchanges by
representatives of various livestock
nssoclntlons, and a conference was
held at Chicago on December 2, 1905,
with the officials of the Chicago Live
stock Exchange, and others. That ex
change, and the exchanges at South
Ft. Paul and Denver, acted favorably
on these protests; but nil the other
livestock exchanges, namely, at nKn
sas City, South St. Joseph, South
Omaha, Sioux City, East St. Louis and
Fort Worth, on January 1. 1906, es
tablished the new scale of commission
charges. These new commission
charges, which are new In effect, made
the following Increases;
"On sheep or hogs, single or double
deck cars, nn Increase of $2 per car.
"On cattle on "Increase was effected
by means of a minimum of 110 per
car, whereas formerly no minimum
was established.
"On mixed carloads of livestock the
Increase ranges from $2 to 6 per
car.
"After the new charges had been put
Into effect by the commission men,
protests were made several different
times by committees from the various
livestock organizations, hut without
avail."
Will Ixnver Charges.
According to Mr. Gwlnn, the form
ation of the new company means that
the $1,600,000 per annum, resulting
to the commission men from their ad
vanced prices, will go to the stock
growmn Instead. Further than that,
he believes that considering the divi
dends and surplus which the co-operative
company will divide that the
rate will be reduced to $8 per car,
thus making a saving of $3,000,000
annually to the stockgrowers.
Mr. Owlnn has now been out for
several weeks In the Interest of the
new commission company, and says
he has been very successful In dispos
ing of stock In the concern. Were It
desirable to place the stock In a few
hands he says It would have been
taken long ago. But the policy Is to
sell the stock In small blocks and
thus Interest as many growers and
ehlppers as possible In the compnny.
I Conditions Arc Good.
While on his present tour tyr.
Owlnn has ben all over the stock
raising sections of the west and he
snys thul never before have the range
conditions been as favorable, the grasf .
being fine everywhere. I
As a result of the abundance of fee i
he says there will be more fat stoc 2
on the market than usual this wlnti 1
and there will be little for cannli
This he says Is a fortunate condition,
as the packers are expecting a light
business in the near future as a result
of the recent packing house expos

Will Pay 5 Per Cent and Expects n
Good Surplus.
Tokld, July BO. The Japanese gov
ernment has Just announced the dates
on which it will purchase the six pri
vate railroads, authorization for which
purchase passed both houses of the
diet last March. The dates are as
follows: The Hokkaido Tanko Tetsu-
do and the Kobu Tetsudo. on October,
1090; the Nippon Tetsudo and the
Ganycntu Tetsudo, on November 1.
1906; the Nlshlnarl Tetsudo and tbc
Sanyo Tetsudo, on December 1, HIM.
The aggregate sum of the purchase
price will amount to 260,000,000 yen,
or nbout $125,000,000. For the pur
chasing sum of each railroad the gov
ernment will allow the interest of 6
per cent a year, beginning with the
respective date of purchase. The gov
ernment will not Issue these bonds
until It sees fit to undertake the Issues.
The returns from the six purchased
railroads will not only pay the run
ning expenses and the Interest, but
will also yield a surplus, the exast
amount yet to be estimated with any
degree of certainty. .

Good Kouxoii for Ilurrlinan to Oc
cupy Territory First.
A special from Ashland to the Ore
gun Dally Journal sa of tho railroad
situation in southern Oregon:
Ilurrlinan rullroad engineers on the
Oregon Central extension from Natron
are now surveying within 12 miles of
Klamath Falls. They are expected to
reach that point some time this week.
The main camp is now at Nalox, In
the north part of Klumath county.
Steady progress Is being made on
the government's Irrigation project In
Klamath county, and many new pco
pie are coming In. There Is great ac
tivity In all lines of business and de
velopment enterprise. The Klamath
111... i mi canal contractors, Mason,
l)im Ai (o, are getting miiny new
men to work on the construction. They
are advancing railroad fares to men
who will go In and Work on the canal.
The unxiety of the lat two weeks has
been relieved by the nrrlvul of several
hundred workmen.
As fast as men are secured new sec
tions of the work are begun.
As soon us a connection Is made on
the -cut between the lower portal of
the mnln canal and the first shaft of
the tunnel, concrete work will be
started und this will require unother
large force of men.
The probability of railroad trans
portation facilities ut an early date is
lending an extremely bright outlook
for nil forms of Industry. It Is be
lieved the Southern Puclflc will with
in a few weeks begin actual con
struction of the Nntron-Klamatli
Falls line, and that this road will be
pushed through at the greatest possi
ble speed, to forestall other railroad
projects known to be heading for cen
tral Oregon.
Rail connections with tho Southern
Pacific from northern California are
promised at nn early date. Reinforce
ments have been Becured on the grade
of the California A Northeastern ex
tension, and negotiations are on foot
that will, It Is said, result In bringing
traffic Into the Falls over that line In
the near future.

ARMY'S HEALTH IMPROVED.
Due Largely to Improved Methods' of
.Sanitation.
Washington, July 30. The annual
report of the surgeon general of the
United States army, for the year 1905,
covered by statistics Just available,
will make such a showing as Is most
gratifying to army medical officers.
There has been nothing like It In
nearly 10 years, and the gratifying
condition Is attributable to the Im
provement In sanltniy conditions. This
Is especially so In the treatment of
epidemics, particularly typhoid, with
which the army was seriously threat
ened some years ago.
All kinds of devices have been
adopted, afier thorough trlul, In the
hope that there would he a decided
Improvement In the conditions pre
vulllng at army posts. The same pro
cntitloi.s for the health -if the troops
have been taken In th field, en
marches and on army transports.
The urmy medical corps is some 30
officers short of Its authorized com
missioned personnel, but It Is found
pns.dt.le to maintain the health of
the army in a way which has not been
equalled since the record-breaking
year of 1897. The stutlstlcs, when
available, will shew a remarkable
state of affairs, entirely creditable to
the surgeons who have been working
so hard all along for better military
hygiene.

cumstances surrounding the case
showed that death had come from a
natural cause, presumably heart fail
ure. There was no evidence of any
violence of any kind and nothing to
Indicate suicide.
As the deceased was In town Satur
day afternoon It Is evident that he died
either some time yesterday or Satur
day night. While here Saturday he
seemed In good health and spirits, ac
cording to those with whom he dealt
while In town.
He Was a Soldier.
Douglas Glenn was born In Iowa In
the year 1862. according to the offi
cial roster of the Second Oregon regi
ment of which he was a private In Co.
D, recruited from Pendleton and La
Grande. He came to this place In the
early nineties from Union county,
where he has many relatives living.
He was related to the Rlneharts of
Union county. James Kinehart of
Snmmervllle. being an uncle. He also
has a sister living near La Grande and
numerous other relatives In the Grand
Rnnde valley.
On first coming to this place Glenn
worked three years for Dave Home
on the lntter's McKay creek ranch.
Afterward he worked for Hamilton &
Rourke, and nlso for T. G. Halley be
fore going to work for Mr. Isaacs.
For several years he was Janitor of
the high school building.
The deceased was also a member of
Damon lodge No. 4. Knights of Pyth
ias, and Immediately after learning of
his death, Roy Raley, chancellor com
mander, took steps to care for the re
mains and have the funeral In accord
ance with the wishes of the relatives
in Union county, who have been noti
fied. ,
Among those who knew him here
the dead man was well liked and was
regarded as an honest, hard working
man. He was popular with the school
children while Janitor, and while here
Saturday asked Donald Rader, son of
M. A. Rader, to go to the ranch with
him for a fishing trip. However, the
boy could not go.
N'o Inquest Held.
Shortly before 3 o'clock this after
noon the body of Glenn was brought
to town from the Isaacs place and Is
now at the Baker ft Folsom undertak
ing parlor. No Inquest was held at
the cabin, as Justice Miller, of Pilot
Rock, who was at the scene, declared
such to be unnecessary. Coroner
Ralph Folsom was In the mountains
at Meucham this forenoon and so did
not go to the house.
