IN PORTLAND STOCKYARDS

Portland Union Stockyards, Dec.
2. Christmas week, 1908, will be
noticeable In the hostory of the Port
land livestock market as a week of
exceptionally High prices and a do
snand that overshadowed anything
shown In any previous year for the
same period.
Making of now high records for
livestock 'Is getting to be somewhat
I an old story, but to those that
stp, the story cannot be repeated too
often.
While only two sales of hogs were
Made at $8.86, still It established an
entirely new high record for the pres
ent movement. Naturally the swlno
that received this price were of fancy
quality, still for less favorable qual
ity a slightly lower price was eaaly
obtained. This was during the fore
part of the week.
As Christmas day approached, the
market became rather dull and life
less with signs of sogginess and some
ales were made at a decline of 10c
from former quotations. This was
to be expected naturally as a result
of the holiday. This, however, iu
only for ordinary stuff.
The great strength, displayed just
previous to this Is what surprised the
trade most for Christmas week is as
a rule, a very dull- and unfavorable
trading period, so far as the Interests
of shippers are concerned. However,
the old timers stay away from such
a nuirket at these periods
Kumt Market AdvaiH-CH to $I.B.
An advance of a nlrklo during the
wwik carried the steer market to a
high record at 14 80 and gave ship
pers udd'tlonal Information as to the
rrowlng Importance of the Portland
livestock market. Market for steers
remained In good condition all week,
although naturally the tone was not
so active as during the previous six
days when killers were making their
preparations for the Christmas trade.
.There was only a small number of
cattle In the yards dur ng the week,
a mere 291 head compared with 2350
last week. 1016 the previous week
and 2172 head month ago for the
naste period.
Cows commanded the same sort of
attention from killers early In the
wrx-k as did the steers and for these
an advance of 15c over the previous
week's price put the market to $3.85.
Khc Receipt Are Light.
With only a small number of sheep
offering In the Rtm-kdalo yards dur
ing the week, the market was lifted
!5r all around and at the close of the
week stood 'n a very healthy position
with Indications of a betterment of
the trading tone after the holidays
have pas-d into history.
Run of sheep and lambs for the
week was 647 head compared with
IM2 head last week. 2S4S the pre
vious week and 1013 head a month
SCO for a like rerlod.
Last week's arrivals of livestock
compare with the same period In re
cent years as follows:
Hogs. Cattle. Sheep.
1909 10 291 647
1908 828 823 2029
1907 388 250
190 409 4 234
1905 228 151
A year ago for the per'od compar
ed to the past week, livestock was
firm but dull In all linen with prac
tically no change in the prices.
The following Is the general range
of livestock values In the yards:
Cattle Best steers, weighing 1200
pounds. $4.75tf4.80: medium steers,

Chicago. "The year 1909 breaks
all records as a 12 month period of
antl-alchollc reform." Is the opening
line of a statement Issued tonight by
Chairman Charles R. Jones, at na
tional prohibition headquarters,
which Is to be read Sunday In Chi
cago churches. The statement was
Issued in reply to claims of a reac
tion by liquor interests. It says:
"In addition to gains in thousands
of cities throughout America, the
twolfth world's congress against al
.xhniinn held iln London, revealed a
unity that promises greater progress j
for the ensuing year. mere
launched during the year an Inter
national prohibition confederation
embracing representatives of move
ments In a score of nations. In the
United States ex'sts a strong trend
.rn-,i nhotltlon of the liquor traffic.
Despite claims of a reaction made by
the liquor press, the records show that
In no 12 months during the past 50
years has there gathered such a pro
gressive force or been such a sub
stantial gain for national prohlbl-
tion. The chief handicaps to the en
forcement of prohibition are the need
of federal protection of dry territory
against interstate liquor traffic and
the treacherous alliance with the out
lawed liquor traffic of politicians and
party machines unfriendly to prohibi
tion. "Last November the prohibition
party polled an. Increased vote In
every utate, except Rhode Island,
Massachusetts, New York, Pennsyl
v,nia Vehrnska. and Indiana. As a
result, the party 1 going Into the

Rl SHINft WORK ON
NEW YORK CANAL
Rolse, Idaho. The freezing weath
er has not placed a damper on the
work of cementing the New York ca
nal, which Is being done by the rec
lamation service. Several hundred
men are still employed and are finding
an average of 100 running feet daily
of tho big d'tch.
A novel plan for continuing the
work despite the elements of the
weather, was arranged and a large
canvas was secured which complete
ly covers a section of the canal and
extends down to the bottom at either
end, keeping out the cold air. Several
stoves have been put up In side of
the mammoth tent and the tempera
ture Is maintained to such a degree
that the cement works nicely. The
camp has to be moved every night,
but notwithstanding this obstacle, the
work Is progressing nicely and the
work will probably be completed by
the first of the year.'
NO WAREHOUSES FOR
ROOZE IN PRY COUNTIES
Seattle. Brewers are prohibited
from maintaining warehouses In dry
units, for the distribution of their pro.
ducts, according to a ruling by Attor
ney General Bell of Washington. This
is a reversal of his former construc
tion of the local optli n law. The lat
est opinion was given on a question
submitted by Stevens county, which
recently voted to abolish saloons. As
common carriers are forbidden from
carrying liquors Into dry territory, It
Is further held that a warehouse may
deliver what stock It has on hand,
but Is unable to replace Its stock. The
defeat of the local option forces In
Walla Wallu Is the first Important re
versal they have met. To date, they
have won In 35 special elections and
met defeat in 19, In this stnte.
OPIUM SMOKING IS
BEING SUPPRESSED
Peking. Reports which have been
received ot the Rritlsh legation In Pe
king regarding the suppression of
opium smok ng show that consldern
bio progress hns been made In tho
northern provinces and In Yunnan
and Kkangtung. Some little progress
has been made In the central provlnc
es, while very littlo has been done In
Szechaun, Kwelchau nnd Shensl.
Search for Missing Man's Fortune
Sacramento, Cal. Information Is
being sought by relatives concern'ng
a Russlrin named Von Kemrumfer,
who came to this state In the '40s,
and who was believed to have accu
mulated a largo fortune. A letter ad
dressed to Gov. Gillette from t he
Russian consulate at San Francisco
contained the request. Nothing is
definitely known of tho missing man
but the opinion ! held that he had a
large mine.
