Hogs Soil at HigheM Price In V.. S.
Since Civil War Cattle at Highest
Price Ever Paid In the World
Hog Record $9.50 Cattle Busl-
Nut Prosperous Daring; Year.
Portland Union Stockyards, Stock
dale, Jan. 1. Now that the year 1909
has passed Into history a review of
the local livestock market for the past
SIS daya shows the big strides made
by Portland in seouring a place in the
livestock world.
Records were smashed to pieces In
Tactically every line of the local
market, but this is not the only thing
that the local trade accomplished. It
made sales of hogs during the year
at the highest price reached in the
Doited States since the civil war and
oattle were sold at a higher price than
bad been reached at any market In
the world at any time.
Year's Hog Record at $9.50.
. These are records to be proud of
sod naturally the livestock trade at
Stockdale feels its growing .import
ance. In the regular course of busi
ness sales of hogs were made dur
ing the year at I9 60 per hundred
pounds and even at that record fig
are purchasers were Indeed glad to
take hold.
All along during the past year
Portland hog prices have led ' the
prices quoted In the markets of the
east by from l-2c to 1 l-2o a pound.
In fact many carloads of hogs were
brought here from Nebraska and
even after paying the ' enormous
freight charge, the shippers received
better net returns than they would
nave secured had they sold the sup
plies In either Chicago, Kansas City,
umuu or r on worm.
' Stimulating nog Production.
Hog production in the Pacific
northwest Is being stimulated by the
growing values here in effect for
swine. . There has boon a gradual In
croase In feeding operations notwlth
standing the fact that the price of
feed has broken all previous records
during the pout season. With a re
laxation of feed values there Is little
doubt that the hog industry will grow
faster than ever before and then It
will be only a few years before Port
land will be in a position to supply
not only the wants of the Pacific
northwest trado but will actually be
shipping provisions to the middle
west. That this prediction is not an
idle one can be seen when It is shown
that the Parlflo northwest today of
fers for the best opportunities to
swine raisers and therefore If. good
prices and a suitable market count
for anything end they generally win
out In the end Portland Is destined
to be the greatest hog market In the
country.
Prlw Steer at $25.
Paying !5c a pound on foot for
steers was not thought of In this
country until such a transaction was
shown at the first annual livestock
show at the union stockyards. This
Is the highest price obtained In the
world for steers and sevoral sales
were made here at the same time at
a fractional decline from this high
record. A sale was made in the cow
market at 11 l-2c a pound, likewise
breaking all world's records.
Such ft thing as breaking records
was quite common In the union stock
yards at Stockdale during the year
and the cattle market came In for Its
full share. While It cannot be said
that record prices were neeclved for
cattle In the regular market, consid
ering the class of stuff that arrived
here, Portland paid a higher price
than could have been received in any
other market In the country, freight
charges being equalized.
Cattlo Shortage, to Re Acute.
Cattle shortage did not share In the
general prosperity of the livestock
market during the year, although the
prices paid were in line with advanc
es made In other lines. High cost of
hay and feed and the decreasing
range have helped to stifle the cattle
Industry during the year and therefore
it is quite apparent that a shortage of
supplies will be shown during the
next few years.
With decreasing range and higher
cost of feed, it develops that cattle
feeders must adopt some other meth
od of getting their stock ready for
market and various experiments have
recently been made and several have
proven successful. The days of
cheap range beef are over, not likely
to return and therefore the new con
ditions demand entirely new treat
ment from feeders.
Sheep and Lambs Sell Hlglw
While no records were broken In
the sheep and lamb market during the
past year, prices went to a height
where the marketing of such stock
In Portland yards was highly profit
able to shippers. In former years
the Pacific northwest was not very
much of a market for Bheep and
lambs, but the demand Is increasing
and therefore the east and middle
west will be forced to bid higher if
they expect to get their share In the
future.
During the past week there was a
firm tone in all lines of livestock, but
most strength was displayed in the
demand for sheep. With sheep re
oeipta very small the call was natur
ally greater and this forced the gen
eral market 25c higher than last week
and lambs sold aa high as 66.26.
There was no change in the gen
eral situation of the hog market.
Receipts were small as could bo ex
pected during the week from Christ
inas to New Year's but all that came
were picked up around the sameval
ts as last week.
Cattle prices were well maintained
with a very limited run during the
six days. This la the first time for
many a day that shippers have fully
taken the advice of the trade and
therefore It looks a If they will prof
it by such a movement.
STRAW VOTES OP OREGON
TEACHERS ELECT HIM
Of 1009 Votes Cast, University Pro
fessor Gets 9 1 6 ROHHler Is Second
With 21 Alderman Well Prepar.
ed for Position.
Salem. Ore. The teachers of Ore
gon have chosen L. R. Alderman for
state suDerlntendent. March 19 of
this year, Charles H. Jones, editor of
the Oregon Teachers' Monthly, sent
out circular letters to each of the
countv suDerlntendents asking them
to nominate candidates for state
school superintendent. The superin
tendents reinondnd arenerallv and the
following candidates were named: L.
R. Alderman of Eugene; B. D. Res
sler of Corvallls: A. J. Churchill of
Baker City; R. P. Robinson of Port
land, and P. L. Campbell of Eugene.
Mr. Jones took these candidates as a
basis for a "straw vote," and In the
January Monthly will make the fol
lowing announcement:
"The Oregon Teachers' Monthly's
straw vote contest for state board su
perintendent closed December 25. Al
together 1609 votes were cast and
each county In the state was repre
sented except Curry and Lake. The
votes were fairly well distributed
and the following are the results ob
tained: LR. Alderman, 816; E. D.
Ressler, 218; R. P. Robinson,' 182; P.
L. Campbell, 139; A. J. Churchill,
101; scattering, 53. The candidates
In no way have taken any special in
terest In the matter. So far as we
know, no solicitation or pressure by
them has been brought to bear upon
any of the teachers. The candidates
were all well known to the teachers."
L. R. Alderman, associate professor
of education in the University of Ore
gon, who wins in the straw vote con
test by the teachers of the state, re
ceived over four times as many votes
as his nearest competitor. The pres
ent superintendent, J. H. Ackerman,
who will have had 12 years of suc
cessful work In the office Is not a
candidate for re-election.
Mr. Alderman was born in Yamhill
county 37 years ago of a pioneer fam
ily. He attended the Dayton public
school and later was a student at Mc
Mlnnvllle college. While there he
represented his college In the first
intercollegiate oratorical contest. He
entered the University of Oregon In
the fall of 1895 and graduated In
June. 1898, with an A. B. degree. He
was a hard student, an able debater
and was honored, by being elected
president of the student body.
After graduating he taught school
In Halsey and Brownsville. In Linn
county, and .was then elected vicc
prlnclpal of the schools of McMinn
vllle. Next year he was elected prin
cipal which "position -he held for
three years. '
In 1904 he was elected superin
tendent of schools for Yamhill county.
While in this position he started the
school fnlr, to bring the schools and
homes closer together. Under his
leadership 1500 children had home
gardens and over 500 girls made bread
every Saturday under the instruc
tion of their mothers,
In the spring of 1907 Mr. Alder
mnn was elected superintendent of the
pity schools of Eugene. While in this
position he started many kinds of in
dustrial work and also got the coop
eration of his teachers, pupils and
parents, so that the school board rais
ed his salary and offered him a three
year contract, but two state schools
offered him a position.-He accepted
the position he now holds in the state
university.
He is a man of vigorous health and
has a strong personality and broad
sympathies.

Portland, Ore. Much work on the

ing the coming year provided the
recommendations of Major Mclndoe,
corps of United States engineers, in
charge of this district, are followed.
Major Mclndoe has just made his an
nual report to the secretary of war
and urges the expenditure of $6,042,
500 in river and harbor Improvements
In this district for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1911.
The largest appropriation recom
mended Is $1,660,000 for continuing
the Improvement at the mouth of the
Columbia river. The sum of 61.
000,000 is urged for work in the
same stream between The Dalles
rapids and Celllo falls. The remain
der of the desired appropriation is
divided between the different coast
harbors and work on the Columbia,
Willamette, Snake and other rivers,
including the Cowlitz, Brays and
Lewis rivers In Washington.
According to the report, operations
during the past year consisted large
