The Swifts, the Armours, Nelson Morris and Schwarza child iV Sulzberger, "the stockvard amily," have purchased 1,000,000 acres jf land in Southern Alabama and north err Honda. The news of the purchase lias startled the stockyaids, Lasalle strfet and the railway world. These in--erptc, pee behind the purchase a move inteuded to revolutionize the meat in lustrv of America. Tbe trieat tract, it is declared, was pnrcha.-ed from the Louisville and . Nashville Railway at an average price of v"! 75 an arip, making the totid rnont'v consideration if;, 750,000. It is dei-iat-pd that tie great Chicago packers intend to estabWsh, on the reclaimed swamp land and the pine lands of Georgia and F'orida, the greatest cattle feeding ground in the world, and to es cape from rates and double hauls, "the locai" rates between Montana and Chicago and New York, in short, to rid themselves of the great expense of ship ping, and 'o fatten cattle on cassava. It is said, before the purchase was consummated, an agreement was reached by the agents of the packer? with th Alabama Agricultural Com mission in regard to lands which were held by the Louisville & Nashville Kail- way on (iovernment grants. The in dustrial commission, it is said, saw in the move the opening of a new era for the .South the acquisition of a great part of the huge cattleraisine industry of the Wtst. The secret of the whole deal liea in one word cassava. The word cassava iu connection with the deal has startled the Lasalle street men and ehoefced the corn products trust. Cassava is a shrubbery plant. It has a flesh root which produces edible starch. It ia al so called Manioc. It ws upon this plant that the deal hinged, aud it is upon this plant, so tbe Authorities declare, that the future of the fvuth now rests. The plant has j e ) found to flouiish in the region of Southern Alabama. It is declared to be the greatest fattening agent for cattle yet discovered. The Chicago packers have agreed Aith the Alabama Agricultural Com-aiisF-ion, it is asserted, to plant the -!,000, 000 acres in cassava, and to feed -rattle on it. The corn products trust is interested, ).ec8ue it is said the packers intend, in . onneciion with their feeding ground, to establish great starch factories, and t j manufacture March and other prod acts of t lie cassava root and put them in the field in competition with the corn products of the trust. ItlCDAY WITH GUN. W. F. llulclier Slioots J. C. U'liltc at Maker City. Baker City, Or., Jan. 15. W. F. Butcher one of the leading attorneys of Eastern Oregon, and the democratic candidate for congress from the second district, two years ago, shot J. C. White a prominent sewer and waterworks con tractor, this evening about 9:15. Butcher shot twice, one ball passing through the fleshy part of White's right arm and the other striking him in the side of the neck. White was able to walk from in front of the postotfice, where the shooting occurred, to a news paper office, almost a block away, where he stopped and medical aid was called. Butcher walked to Justice Messick's office and gave himself up immediately after the shooting. Butcher refused to make a statement tonight, further than to say that White assaulted him and he shot him in self defense. Eye-witnesses to the shooting say that White accosted Butcher as he came down from his office, which is over the postoffice. White is said to haye ex claimed : "Are yon ready, Butcher?" and to iiave started forward in a threatening manner, when Butcher drew his re volver and shot twice. The trouble grew out of a contract in which White and Butcher are interested at Weiser, Idaho, for the construction of an electric light plant and water works system. White says that Butch er drew a gun on him in Butcher's office this afternoon. Butcher denies ting, j At last accounts White was resting easily. iTIoney in Kelt. Tacoma, Wash.. Jan 16. The sum of if-'j.OOU in gold was found in a worn leather belt on the body of Wong Lee Qui, an aged Chinaman who diedyes terdav on the steamer Ching Wo. He shipped at San Francisco, and was on his way home to die. According t the h ory of the officers of the steamer. Qoi was a miser. He tned in every cunning way known to the artful C! inese to get his fare for less than the regular rate and to get abo l'Ue necessaries without paying for them. It is said that he came to San Francisco 20 years ago, and was wealthy merchant of that place, when he sold out to go home to die. When the steamer Ching Wo reached Tacoma from San Francisco the aged miser was sick, lie decided that he must land and go to a hospital if he would live, and he petitioned the immi gration officers to that effect. Yester day when they visited the ship to talk with him he was dead. This makes the fourth death that has occurred on the steamer from old age and exposure, and the ehip'B doctor says there are others that cannot live until the vessel reaches the Orient. Kennedy Is Free. Hillsboro, Or., Jan. 17. Key. Rich ard H. Kennedy, the Congregational minister, has been acquitted of the charge of havfng entered the house of E. Q. Warren, a slight distance East of Iliilsboro, on the early morning of Sep tember 1, and committing a burgliry. The jury was out until about 4 :30 this morning, when they agreed, and signed a sealed verdict. Just as soon as it was known that an agreement had been effected Mr. Ken nedy was apprised of the fact. It had come to light that the verdict was ac quittal, and the minister was greatly affected. Leads in Trade. Washington, Jan. 17. Government statistics now acknowledge Portland's supremacy in the wheat trade on the Pacific. Tiiese figures show that more wheat was Bhipped Irom Portland dur ing tbe calendar year 1908 than frrm any other point on the West Coast, and was greater than the exports of any other cities in the United States except New York and Galveston. In fact tbe Moth er I exkJ "Mv mother was troubled with consumption for many years. At last she was given up to die. Then she tried Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, and was speedily cured." D. P. Jolly, Avoca, N. Y. No matter how hard your cough or how long you have had it, Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is the best thing you can take. It's too risky to wait until you have consump tion. If you are coughing today, get a bottle of Cherry Pectoral at once. Three Biies : 25c, 50c, $1. All druggists. Consult your doctor. If lie says take it, then do as lie s:i)s. If lie tell you not to take It, then don't take it. He knows. Leave it with him. Wo are willing. J. C. AYKH CO., Lowell, Mass. shipments from Portland were greater than the combined export from Seattle and Tacoma. To be exact, Portland during the 12 months ended December last exported 5.014,719 bushels of wheat, as compared with 4,428,112 bushels from San Fran cisco and 4,597,730 bushels from Puget Sound. It is true that wheat exports all over the country, except at Galves ton, were lighter in 1903 than in the year previous, but the decline in Port land is far less than is proportionately shown in the other districts on the Pa cific Coast.

The determin ation of Bryan to publish a daily Com moner at St. Louis during the Demo cratic convention has given conserva tive Democrats much concern. This fact, coupled with the report that there has been an understanding between Bryan and Hearst that they will control more than a third of the delegates and under the two-thirds rule of the convention prevent the nomina tion of any manct 0 their satisfaction has caused much uneasiness. Bryan's main object is to pi event tLe adoption of a plttf rm which in eflett will repudiate the platforms of 1890 and 1900. O: coursH, he wants a candidate to his liking, and he wiil use his power ta that end. Bryan is for harmony if the ag eement is in Ins direction, but he is not for harmony that iruans the rec ognition of pieferment of the gold Dem ocrats of the last campaigu. With a paper issued daily and a fol lowing believing him to be a great and only Democrat of the country, Bryan can make a great deal of trouble. A daily Commoner at the convention is more feared by the conservative Demo crats than a daily Hearst paper. 1 1 tjj n mi T7I A.
