Wunhiiigion, Auk 20. Further In
fliitlcin of foodxtuff prices would re
sult from the passage of the Keuyon
bill to regulate and llcermo the pack
ing hid ry, 1,. 1). II. Wold, manugor
of the commercial research depart
ment of Swift and company testified
today before the senate agricultural
committee where the bill is under
consideration. .
"The main objection to the Mil,"
Mr. Weld said, "Is In the' fact that
It was baed upon reports of the fed
eral trade rninmlslon which are sat
urated with glaring Inaccuracies and
misstatements...
"The Kenyon bill must either In
terfere with tho farmers end of meat
production, or with the packers'
part of the business If designed to
arfcet the high cost of living," he
alcl. "If the farmer Is hit, lie will
cut down production, which will
bring hlghor stock prices. If the
pucker Is hit and his business crip
pled, the result will be higher manu
facturing coats, and these too will
have to be passed on." .
Mr. Weld paid his respocts to Com
missioner Colrer of the trade com
mission, remarking that "many of
his statements here were exaggerated
and Inaccurate." Swift and com
pany owned no retail stores in Eng
land, and Mr. Weld said he had been
unable to find that any other Ameri
can packer did so.
'VMr. Colver told you that the five
large packers controlled over 75 per
vent of the business In tildes." he
continued, "thoy handle lens than B0
per cent, and there Is the keenest
competition between all of them.
"Hie told you the packers handled
70ft commodities. He mentioned a
separate Items, butterlno, oleo and
oleomargarine. All three are the
same. He took 23 cuts of beef, and
listed them a 23 Items. He gave
115 Items as a list of by-products of
cattlo droHlng. Ho mentioned 37
Items of sausage.
"Mr. Colver made the flat state
ment that packers have1 not put any
new capital' into the business from
outside sources since 1904. Swift
and company alone has added $S5.-
000,000 new cash capital from sales
of Hharos. Mr. Colver peralxtontly
Ignored the number of packing con
cerns In business, in this country.
iSomo 235 concerns are engaged In
Inter-state business besides the big
packers.
ABLE BODIED CITIZENS
Although the fire situation In
Josephine and Curry counties Is ser
ious, unless new fires start, State
Fire Warden Hoxie and Forest Sup
ervisor Macdufr state that the situ
ation is well In hand and that their
force will bo able to cope with . the
present fires successfully. How-
over, theyv are apprehensive that
many new fires may be started with
the opening of the hunting season
as has been the experience In 'tho
past few yara, unless hunting, part
ies .are very careful with their camp
fires.
Should many new fires start. Mr.
Hoxle states, that they will be corn-
polled to Impress tire fighters under
the Oregon state law, which makes
it a misdemeanor punishable by a
fine of from -$5 to $100 to. refuse to

Great Invention
The Daily
Like another Jules Verne tale
seoms the idea of telegraphing pic-;
tures. Many unimaginative and
doubting minds declare that It can't
be idone.
iBut the Invention . has actually ,
been made: pictures can now be tel
egraphed from coast to coast from.
continent to continent. The inven
tion has just become available for
newspaper use; - and, the Courier,
anxious to give its subscribers not
only 'up-to-date news, but also the
pictures of things s they happen,
has made arrangements to have its
pictures telegraiphed.
The greatness of this Invention
will, be realized more thoroughly
when It Is understood that the Cour
ier will publish pictures of fire
scenes, railroad wrecks, auto races,
action pictures, aeroplane races, por
traits of people of sudden promi
nence, launching of ships, murder
scenes, maps, court scenes, yacht
races, escaped criminal's photograph,
parades, riots, prize fights, baseball
scenes, players In action, etc, on the
day after they happen, instead of
many days later, s is the case when
pictures come by mall
To newspaper men and newspaper

wonderful Invention lies in the fact
that it gives them the 'world's news

Courier
later-wben all news value Is lost.
But this great invention, which the
Courier readers are to have the ben
efit of, has many far-reaching uses.
Suppose a' criminal escapes. . His
picture can be flashed to the far
corners of the earth In a few min
utes, making it impossible for him to
get anywhere without his picture
preceding ihim. Important signa
tures can be telegraphed
Tele -

the west, will find great interest in

ant designs, maps and photograpmS
can be quickly telegraphed to the
place where needed.
iSeginnlng on or about September
1st, the Dally Courier will publish
these telegraphed pictures tele-
photographs, at they' will be called.
On an average, three will appear each
week not on certain days, but as
events happen. Sometimes we may
publish two. a day, and again we may
go three or four days without any.
But the lmprotant thing Is this:
Through the aid of this wonderful
