investigation Demanded.
The New York Herald indicts the beef
trust and demands an investigation on the
following counts:
That some half dozen packing firms control
the beef market.
That the agents for these concerns never
bid against one another In the cattle market.
That the farmers have been driven to sell
to the combine at prices fixed by the combine.

packers. w. j. Wagner the president Of
the National Retail Butchers association
was there. He said:
OF course there is legitimate reason for
the Increase in tpricetof beef to a certain ex-
tent, but the beef trust is taking advantage
OF these conditions and putting much larger
prices on meat than the conditions really
warrant. -
Baltimore retailers claim that the beef
trust has advanced the wholesale price 4
cents per pound in the past six weeks.
On top Of that it is asserted that the
packers outbidSthe local butchers in tho
cattle, market, ship them to Chicago for
slaughtering and then back to Baltimore
at an advanced price as dressed beef. One
day last week Philadelphia was forced to
pay a. cents per pound for porterhouso
steak
In Minneapolis the down town retailers
are selling porterhouse steak from the
best stock at 25 cents; sirloin, 20 cents;
rib roast, 20 cents; round steak, Is cents;
chuck steak, 12h cents. The price on
porterhouse has been advanced cents per
pound since the beef bulge began. On
round, RIB roast and sirloin the advance
has been cents.
The Farmer Making a Profit.
The farmer is having his innings. His
products have commanded good prices in
the past year. He is in the game strong
at present if he has corn. He can get
60 cents per bushel for that product by
selling it outright or can get just as good
price and sometimes better by feeding
cattle and hogs for market. Cattle grow

STOCKS WE'RE STRONG
Good Week in the Spokane Stock
Mining Exchange.

Special to The Journal.
Spokane, Wash, April 19.-Minin6
stocks were unusually strong on the Spo-
kane stock exchange at the close OF the
week. With two exceptions every stock
showing auctuation advanced IN blo price.
While the week was three sessions short
because of the adjournment Thursday, TO
permit the brokers to attend the formal
opening of the Kettle Valley Lines road
to Republic, the total sales amount to
73, 900 shares Gold Ledge led IN total
transactions for the week with Princess
Maud second and Republic third.
The cause of the advance in price and
activity of Gold Ledge was due to quartz
uncovered in the tunnel now being driven
to tap the 50O-foot level. Stocks which
showed an advance in bid price as COM
pared with the closing quotations OF the
previous week were American Boy, Black
Tail. Butte and Boston, Ben Hur, Gold

BIG MINES WILL UNITE

Two Silver-Lead Producers of the
Occur d'Alenes.
Special to The Journal.
Wallace, Idaho, April 19.-The CONSOLE
dation of the Standard and the Hecla, two
of the biggest silver-lead mines in the
Occur d'Alenes, will be perfected within
the next sixty or ninety days. The new
company, which will probably be known
as the Standards Hecla Consolidated Min
ing company, will have a capital Of 3d.

The stock of the new concern promises
to have a dividend earning capacity of at

now earning that much, even under the
restricted output enforced upon them by

other Cities PrOtesting.s
In other cities the shout against the
beef trust is growing louder every day.
In Kansas City, the big slaughter-house
of the west, the retail butchers are plan
ming all kinds of deals to dodge the evil
monopoly. They want the city to build
big slaughter-house With up to date IA
:cilHies. They charge that the packers are
selling meat in outside towns where they
ARE forced to- compete with the home
butehered product much cheaper than in
Kansas City. They further claim that the
price to the Kansas City butchers is not
consistent with the price of live stock.
They are charged 10 cents per pound for
beef quarters. The price Of live stock
ranges from $500 TO 1910. Inc Dutcners
contend that this is giving the packer al
together too large margin. This is like
discussing the Justice of a rate with the
average railroad president. 1t usually
ends in discussion.

Death of Cecil Rhodes.

Cecil Rhodes is dead, at Cape Town, South
Africa, after an illness ofsome weeks. Rhodes
was an Englishman who went to South Africa
when quite young man to recuperate his
health. He early entered politics there and
built up vast political machine. Observing
the wealth and possibilities of South Africa he
conceived vast schemes and great enterprises
and used bis political power to carry them
oat. The building up of d great empire IN the
Dark Continent was another hope and he set
about it with boldness and courage that
would have been magnificent and grand in a
better cause. To him and his scheme of en-
pire is due the trouble in South Africa-the
British war on the Transyaal and Orange re-
publics. To him is chargeable all the sacri-
fee of life and expenditure of treasure. Had
he died ten years ago the war of conquest
would not now be waging against the repub-
lies.
Rhodes was a bold man and had many adj
mirable qualities, but his love OF gain over
came his better nature. He was CONNER
cialist, counting no cost if gain is to follow
He placed the Almighty dollar above the man..
Had he lived in the United States he would
have been in the class with the Hannas, Nor
gans, Roosevelts and Rockefellers- able
advocate of conquest, expansion, ship sub
dies, trusts and consultations. He was less
than fifty years old, but he had played great
part in the worlds history. Had he lived his
dream of empire in South Africa no doubt
would have been realized, but at present Eng
land has no one to take his place. He is a
great loss to that expanding empire. His death
may be a gain to self-government.
