OREGON wooLeRowERs MEET
Large Attendance and Much Interes
in the Grazing Question.

The Oregon Wool Growers Association
met in Especial meeting this morning
in the Club rooms. There was a
large attendance of stockgrowers, some
of them coming sixty and seventy
miles in order to attend. In the absence
of the president, George A. Young, who
is now in the east, the members were
called to order by Fred W. Wilson, sec
retary of the association, who stated that
the meeting had been summoned at the
request Of Capt. S: B. Ormsby, special
Forestry agent of the Department of
the Interior. Capt. Ormsby had written
that the department had called upon
him for report as to the best plan to
regulate the summer grazing of sheep in
the Cascade Reserve and before making
his report he wished to learn the views
and suggestions of the sheep owners
whose bands Craze in the Cascade noun

It seemed from the general expression OF

BIG PROFIT REALIZED

On the Sale of Local Concerns to the Steer
Trust, But the Trust Hiil Not Lose.
How can they afford it," where do
their profits come from?" and similar
questions are naturally suggested to
the minds of persons who have OBJ
served the extraordinary prices which
the American Steel Company is paying
for steel and iron plants. These quer-
les have probably not bothered the local
stockholders, who have been content to
pocket their share Of the profits Of the
sale of local manufactures. There are
some well-informed persons in this city,
however, who hold that it would have
been the part of wisdom for the Stock
holders to hold out against the trust.
One of them said to a Register reporter
yesterday:
"Of course proposition to give a
man three dollars for every dollar he
invested, is very attractive, but if the
present market conditions prevail for
two years, the stockholders in the Bell
aire plant would make the same profit
as they did by the sale, and would still
have their plant left: | heard we'll
informed man say yesterday that such a
result would follow in twelve months,
but l think that is putting it rather
strong"
In this view of the case. the specu-
lation of the American Steel Company
will prove very profitable. AS a mat
ter of course, the trust will get its rev.
enues by advancing prices, which it
can easily do by controlling production.
In this connection, the following from
the weekly bulletin of such eminent au-
thority as E. H. Stroud & Co, metal
factors, of Chicago, will be of in
tereSt:
Steel billets have advanced in price
from 20 per cent. to % per cent during
the past month, or from 40 per cent. to
so per cent. since December 1st, period
of three months, and finished products
of iron and steel are also higher in
price in consequence. The control of
the steel market seems to have passed
into the hands of very few men and
they are refusing to sell, claiming to
be unable to deliver for several months
ahead because their works are filled up
with orders. Great difficulty in obtain
ing deliveries is being experienced by
buyers. 1t looks as though, iron would
once more bet in active demand in bars.
shapes, plates, sheets, ETC., on account
of the scarcity of steel"

LONDON, March 9--The Queen has
postponed her departure to the South Of
France until Saturday next, in conse-
quence of the storm in the channel. The
post ponement of her majestys departure
is a striking Illustration of the extreme
care with which she IS surrounded and
the enormous amount of machinery which
is necessary when she travels. Instead OF
going in her own yacht to Cherbourg, as
usual, she decided to avoid the long ser
trip and go from Folkestone to Boulogne-
Sur-Mer in a special passenger boat,
which has been entirely changed for its
c ghty minutes trip. All sorts of staging

THE LIST OF GENERALS
For the Enlarged Army Practically Made
Up by the President.


Up by the President
Washington, March 9.-The Presi-
dent has practically made up the list
of the general officers TO be retained
in the volunteer branch of the service.
The basis of all the calculations is an
army of $4,000 men, for the President
has SO far insisted that he will not
call for volunteers in addition to that
number unless an emergency should
arise The reorganization act limits
the number Of major generals to be ap-
pointed to one for each twelve thous-
and men, and brigadier generals to one
for every four thousand men in actual
SERVE. On this basis, as there are al
ready three major generals in the army
in the persons of Gen. Miles, Gen.
Brooke and Gen. Merritt, there is room
for but two more.
To fill these two places the President
has selected Gen. Shafter and Gen.
Otis, now In command at Manila. 1t is
safe to say that the list of brigaders to
be appointed will include the following
names: Gen. Wood, at Santiago; Gen.
Wilson, at Matanzas; Gen. Lee, in the
province of Havana; Gen. Davis, now
On duty with the court of inquiry into
the beef supplies; Gen. Ludlow, in
command Of Havana city; Gen. Law
ton, nearing Manila; Gen. Macarthur,

DISINTERESTED NEUTRALITY
win BE the Policy of This Government rs
Beiween italy and China.

fsetW06n italy ana ChfnM.
Washington, March 9.-The Italian
government, through its representa-
tives in Washington, lately laid before
the authorities here its purpose to ask
of China port on San Nun bay, and
has invited an expression from this
government as to its attitude. In re-
Spouse it is understood that Secretary
Hay, as well as the President, made
it clear that the United States would
pursue the same course as toward the
Russian, British and German occupa-
ton of Chinese ports, namely, dlsinter-
ested neutrality. The exchanges have
been verbal and rather informal, more
in the nature of diplomatic soundings
than direct propositions. They have
given occasion to erroneous publica-
lions to the effect that Italy had asked
the United States to support her de-
mands on China, and that this govern
ment, in pointed note from Secretary
Hay, had refused. 1t is stated in an
eminent and authoritative quarter that
Italy made no such request for Ameri-
can support, and that there was no de-
clination from this government. The
circumstances of the negotiations, as
explained in this authoritative quarter
are as follows:
When Italy determined to seek a
port on the Chinese coast she address
ed those powers having large interests
in China, notifying them of her pur-
poses. Owing to the good will between
Italy and this country, as we'll as the
American interest in China, a notifi-
cation was presented to the State De-
partment here. While Italy is said to
have had no desire, through this mott
fication, to enlist the support of the
United States, she was DESTROYS OF
pursuing the usual diplomatic course
when a move of this character is con-
templated, namely, learn whether the
United States would be either, first
favorable; second, disinterested; third,
opposed. In short before proceeding
Italy desired to know what attitude
the United States would take, as 10
the Italian demand on China.
The reply OF Secretary Hay, which
is said to have been verbal, was in re-
Spouse to this notification and sound
ings from the Italian authorities. In
this reply the President is said to have
given his personal concurrence. In
substance, it was announced that the
United States would in no way change
the attitude it had maintained thus far
when Great Britain, Germany and Rus
STA made advances toward China, but
would continue to observe a position
a denial Of any request, the reply was
