PORTLAND. Or, July 1.-THE Port
land horse packing company, whose plant
is located at Linnton, employing eighteen
men, is now doing a thriving business
The company some months ago received
an order for 5000 barrels of cured horse
meat from dealers in Paris, France, and
the contract is now being filed. The
plant, which has been idle since last fall,
was started up again about four weeks ago
and since that time 300 horses have been
slaughtered. Fifty were killed yesterday.
Each barrel is la beled horse meat" and is
thorougb bly, inspected by an inspector sent
here from Paris. The Paris purchasers
before making this contract had the plant
thoroughly examined and satisfied them
selves that the products would be up to
the required standard.
Parisians were the first people to ADOPT
horse meat as an article of food and the
demand for it in the French capital Is
constantly increasing.
The horses for the Linnton plant are
procured from Eastern Oregon and are
what are known as cayuses, worth in the
market about 81 80 a head on the average.
There is an abundant supply to draw
from and the sooner they are cleaned out
the better.
The horse packing company expects to
build up large business with Paris deal
ers and hopes also to find a market in
Japan and China. Every part of the horse
is utilized in some way. The choice meat
is cured and all other parts. including
hair, hide, bones, and even blood, are
used for commercial purposes.

Interesting Report of European
Conditlo ms Issued by This

NEW YORK, n. Y, July 12.-The Gov
eminent crop report published yesterday
is of mere than ordinary interest, because
the crop reports of foreign countries indi-
cate that the United States will be called
on for more than her usual share in sup
plying the with grain and grain products.
Russian official reports make the wheat
crop of that country the poorest in years,
and estimates of the French crop have
been materially reduced. Crops will be
below the average also in Great Britain
and Austria Hungary. The visible sup
ply of Great Britain is so low that app-e-

crop report as a basis J. c. Brown. statis-
tician of the New York Produce Ex-
change, estimates the winter wheat crop
of this country at 269, 525, 900 bushels,
against an actual yield last year OF 264,

at 172,645, QUO bushels, against 1853, 345, 247

HIGHLAND GRAHGE LECTURES.
Professc, Jafa of The State University
Addresses the Farmers on
Irrational Feeding.

WEIGHTS, CAL, July 12-Professor
M. E. Jaffa of the State University lee
tured at Grange Hall this afternoon on
the subject of the rational feeding of farm
animals. Mr.. Jaffa said that q rational
system of feeding had been devised
whereby da;rymen and other feeders OF
animals were able to get better results for
less money than under the old method.
The aim was to avoid waste and at the
same time give sufficient tissue-building
and warmth-supplying food. Standards
of feeding were arrived at after scientific
analyses of the com position of the animal
body and of the various products, as well
as of the proportion actually as inflated
by the body in the case of different foods,
and after careful experiment with a large
number of farm animals which had been
proved to give the best results.
Diagrams were exhibited by the pro-
fessor showing the results Of these various
analyses and experiments. 1t was found
that the elements contained in the an
imal body and in foods, though the pro-
portions in which these elements are con-
tanned in the different foods greatly
varied, were water, nitrogenous or tissue
building elements, Eon-niIrogenous ele-
ments-such as starch, fat and sugar,
which merely supplied warmth to the
body-and ash or minerals, of which the
most important was phosphorus. All
these materials must be furnished in
proper proportions. differing in the case
of di ifferent animals, and according to the
nature of the work which they were re-
quired to do.
The digestive organs OF different an
imaIs were different, he said. The
ruminants, like the COW, in which the
stomach was made up of iour sacks and
which cnewed their cud, could assimilate
coarser food than the horse, dog or pig.
Starchy foods were digested principally in
the intestines. The relative value of dit
ferent foods was illustrated by charts and
diagrams.

to by an immense crowd, largely made up
OF Portland and Oregon City people.
Tonight the apostle OF free silver ad-
dressed a crowd of 10, 900 persons on the
MultEomah field in this city. Mayor
Pennoyer had the honor Of introducing

Steytler typical Englishman in appear

County, yesterday. on what proves to be
an important iourney-perhaps the most
interesting in his life. Stey tiers father,
who was wealthy banker in Cape Town,
South Africa, recently died in London.
OF the three sons in the family the one
who is here to-day is the Oldest, and the
settlement OF the estate viii mean for him
the major part of fortune of something
less than half million dollars. Steytler
is now on his way to London and possibly
to Cape Town to look after his fathers
estate.
The life of the younger Steytler has
been a varied one. He was born in Cape
Town forty years ago. He lived In that
country until be grew TO manhood, and
he RENE NJ bers we'll when the Duke of
Edinburgh visited South Africa to hunt
elephants. That was in 1S57.6S. Tho
Duke was the guest of Steytler's father,

Steytler has done considerable of that,
having followed the elk over in the hills

San FranCiSCO'S Newest
Opera Produced in
New York.
Ex-Queen LiIiuokaIani and
Party Had a Box at the
Performance.
Forman and Brandt May Make {
HIt-Their Unique Hawaiian
Creation.

NEW YORK, n. Y, July lex
Queen Liliuokalani sat with a party of
friends In a box tonight at Madison
square Garden, which opened the summer
season with the comic opera Captain
Cook" San Francisco product
Sands w. Forman, journalist Of that
city, wrote the words and Noah Brandt q
band leader OF repute there, composed the
music. Such a measure of success as the
new piece gained was in despite OF ad-
verse circumstances.
Although only half of the space was
used, the rest being shut off and the stage
set at dividing line, the auditorium was
still too spacious. Only portion OF the
assem- bage could have understood the
words eltn er of the speech or song, even
if rainstorm had not made noise on the
roof and kept people disturbed by drip
ping on them through open skylights.
Probably Queen Liliuokalani was neither
amused nor offended by the irreverent
treatment accorded her country and her
kindred by the actors. She could hardly
have known a word that was uttered, but
sne saw native dance and bridal pro-
cession, and she heard some native music
echoed in the score.
As those were among the best things in
the play her Majesty may have been edi-
fed. Many of the people were delighted,
or else were false-pretenders, as they ap-
plauded frequently and wildly. Many
others were cOntrastingly apathetic, and
hundreds of these departed before the
presentation was over
As TO critical judgment, it is not easy to
form, owing to the conditions mentioned.
No f,f of ba far
by no means settled last night. The ac-
tion begins with the landing of voyagers
and crew at Hawaii in 177S; proceeds
with their wooing OF the queen and some
of her women; becomes troublous through
the jealousy of the native king ana his
men, and ends with jump OF more than
a century TO the annexation OF the island
to the United States.
So much of Mr.. FoTman's language as
was audible in last nights performance
was puerile and foolish. There was no
novelty of idea or freshness of humor.
The management of the matter. more
over, is quite devoid of skill. The per-
sonages in troduced and developed moved
crudeIy and clums silly.
Bul Mr.. Brandt had done far better
with tue music, which was original, ex-
pert, suitable and especially, IN orchestra
lion, discreetly ambitious. Several of the
ballads had pretty tunes. and the occa-
sional recourse 10 Hawaiian airs was
clever.
Captain Cook" is likely to make some
fame for its composer here. But he
should not conduct the performances in

tive. Our people will be apt to ridicule
his violence with his baton.
