EXPORT TRADE IN MEATS.


Queer In the World.
A monograph of the treasury bureau
of statistics on 'The Provision Trade
Of the United States" which appears
In the monthly summary for February
shows that the United States Is now
the worlds greatest producer and ex-
porter of meats, which form one of the
most important features of our export
trade. In 1887 the total expectation of
provisions and live animals was $1O2,-
774,010, and in 1899 their total was
$207, 105,637 having thus doubled
meantime and forming in 1899 17.2
per cent of the total exports of that
year.
The development of swine and cattle
raising In the United States presents
features of peculiar interest. The de-
velopment within the country has con-
sisted chiefly in movement from the
east to the west, following the broad
course of the corn belt. The growth
Of our swine raising industry has been
| OF the utmost Importance to the farm
ers Of the country, since 1t has fur
nished them an outlet otherwise diff
cult to obtain for their surplus corn.
The hog has become not only a con-
verter, but condenser, Of values and
as such has sought out eastern and
European markets in cases where 1t
would have been improbable to trans
port corn.
The development of swine and cattle
raising has been also Influenced by
the phenomenal growth of the packing
industry of the country. This evolu-
ton presents features Of interest from
the time when, in colonial days, print
tive packing was carried on In New
England down to later times, when,
about 1920, the prototype Of the mod
ern packing house was established in
Cincinnati. Adjacent to the cornfelds
of Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky, Gin
cinnati possessed the further advan-
tage of being situated on the Ohio riv-
er, down which her packed products
were shipped to New Orleans to be
reshipped to Philadelphia, New York
and Boston. The westward movement
and the successful competition of the
east bound railroads with the long,
devious and uncertain Mississippi
route gave to Chicago in the early six
ties an immense advantage and achiev-
ed for that city pre-eminence which
1t has since retained, although Kansas
City and Omaha are now rapidly forg-
ing to the fore.
The monograph traces this develop
ment of the packing industry down to
the present time. 1t also gives statis-
tics of winter and summer packing at
various centers, together with receipts
and shipments Of live animals and Of
provisions, as well as statistics Of the
routes by which they are received or
shipped and Of their source or destina-
ton.

New Train Service on the 0 R. & N.

The double train service to be establish
ed between Portland and Chicago April
%, in which the 0. r. & N, the Union
Pacific and the Oregion Short Line
are interested, will shorten the through
time IL hours. Train No. 2 leaving
Portland at 9:15 a. m, beginning on the
date named, will be known as the Chicago
Portland special. Its equipment will be
new, making it fully the equal of any
train now in service from the Pacific
Coast to the east 1t will consist of mail
car, baggage car a library composite car,
first class Pullman sleeper dining car,
two chair cars, and tourist sleeper.
There will be but one change of cars to
all eastern points. The full time will be

for St. Paul. This train will reach Spo-
kane at 10 a. m. A dining car will be
furnished for breakfast into Spokane, and
for dinner on corresponding train leaving
Spokake at 3;45 p. m. The new sched-
ule as arranged, will supply the most
complete service ever furnished on the
.. X. u NJ, as it provides increased SER
vice in Eastern Oregon where ii is greatly
needed, and gives immediate connection
with the Washington division at Pendle-
ton. At this point there is a large inter-
change of traffic, on account of the var
lous mining districts of Baker county,
the Occur d Alene, the Republic and
Kootenai mining camps, Portland is
greatly benefited by this change, mas
much as increased service is given from
Eastern Oregon and Idaho.
No. 2 will arrive in Chicago at 9:3O a.
M; No. 6 at 745 a. M, as at present
The west bound train out of Chicago.
corresponding with No. 2, is No. l. This

duced two hours and forty-five minutes,
NO. 3 westbound train will leave Chicago
at lO:3Op. m. and Omaha at 4:25 D. m.
the next day.

RumOrs of Labor Strike at Blue
Jacket Unfounded

For several days there have been
rumors afoat in Weiser that the men
at the Blue jacket had gone on a
strike. Mr.. French was seen last
evening and he stated that the rumor
was entirely unfounded. There were
no differences whatever with the men.
When Mr. French visited the mine
recently he found everything glutted
with ore and the ore house filled with
3, 600 sacks ready for shipment, and
as teams could not be secured fast
enough, he gave the men vacation
and closed down the mine until he
secured means to move the ore He ex-
poets to have so teams on soon and
the force will then return to work.
Mr. French says the company is
preparing to place large quantity of
new machinery on the mine.
