WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
The Beef Problem.

To the Editor of The Journal.
In your issue of Wednesday, Oct 9, ref
erence is made to the beef problem as fol-
lows: ~ .". 80
The average citizen is losing by the
heavy rains thru the country as well as
the farmer Perhaps he does not realize
it, but it is the rain that makes the price
of good beefsteak high. The retailer is
paying as high as s1a cents for fancy beef
Cattle that are fed on range grass are
soft at present and until there is a hard
enlng in the weather there will be no
hardening in beef and the shortage in the
supply makes prices high.
Stall fed stock is practically out of the
market No one seems to be feeding now
and II there is any such stock the foxy
owners seem to be holding for higher
prices.
"The best beef prices will not go down
until the conditions which make the scar
city are removed. That is, when the
rains STOP" ~.
I Now, how do you harmonize the above
with the following review of the week 5
market at Chicago, published by the Live
Stock World, under date of Friday, Oct 9:
The cattle trade at the close of the
week is In anything but condition that
should stimulate liberal movement to-
ward market. In fact, several commits
sion men expressed the opinion this morn
ing that unless the country is careful
about sending in cattle for the opening
days of next week there will be a slum,
In cattle as bad as that in, n,shogs the past
few days. AS it is, prices on beef cattle
are more or less demoraliZed and are UNI
evenly 10 to 40 cents lower than Monday,
the biggest end of the decline appearing
on Weighty fat steers, and at these de-
clines clearance of Sthe yards could not
be made to-day.
1T is estimated that fully 5000 cattle
outside of stockers and feeders are being
carried over and of these many loads are
OF big, fat, good to choice steers weigh
ing 400 pounds and up. These will be
here for the opening market of next week
and 1t will certainly be dangerous for
the country to get a big run Of heavy cat
tie here for next Monday.
THE slow, lifeless close to the market
OF the week is. on a. basis of S55O@5 S5
Tor choice to fancy steers weighing 1880
to l,4O0 pounds, with good to choice of
same weight at about s4.s0@5.5o and fair

pounds and up could not get an outlet at

The Peculiarities Of Amateurism.

~ Every recurring football season
brings with 1t a revival of talk about
professionalism and amateurism a
flood Of silly talk. This year the con-
troversy is between the University OF
Wisconsin and the University Of Chi
cago. The former will protest against
Eckersall, quarterback of the Chi
cago eleven because he is under sus-
pension by the A. A. u. Chicago re-
plies that the whole Wisconsin eleven
is under, automatic suspension. This
automatic suspension is a very funny
thing, and curiously enough Wiscon-
sin caught 1t from Eckersall at third
or fourth hand, in this way Il
The Chicago eleven; with Eckersall
under suspension. played with the
Englewood high school team. There
by the whole Englewood team became
contaminated with professionalism
Next Englewood played with North

Northwestern became infected with
the virus of professionalism. Then
Northwestern played with Naperville

Eckersall did to contract the disease
that has become so epidemic, or
whether it was always endemic with
him and has become epidemic thru
new material to feed on. But the
chances are that when Eckersall was
8 years old he got SO cents for pitch
ing for some sandlotter baseball nine
or else got IS for coaching some high
school football team. Possibly he
did nothing more than Mueller, the
famous Minnesota guard. who was
ruled out two years ago because he
won first prize in a fat mans race al

SILK MADE OF WOOD.


Artificial silk, is now being made in
Europe from wood fiber, under an
English patent. The American consul
at Settin writes Of it: The sample
shown me was very soft and of a
of eighteen single strands. A single
strand is, hardly perceptible to the
naked eye. AS to the relative strength
.of a real silk thread and this imita-
ton, the real silk is two thirds strong

dyeing readily, and when woven into
pieces has the appearance Of real silk.

The Alaskan Boundary.

The members Of the Alaskan
boundary commission met yesterday to
consider their verdict. The closing
proceedings of the inquiry were char
acterized by most fraternal ex-
change of international courtesies, the
Lord Chief Justice Alverstone and the
American commissioners, Foster and
Dickinson, being the leading speakers.
Mr.. Dickinson declared that, II the
tribunal. fails to reach a decision, it
will not follow that faith in the
over mere national sympathies has
been misplaced. OF course not; but
those who have followed the argu-
ments as reported by the cable from
London, will fail to find, upon any can
did consideration of facts. presented,
any very substantial ground for
handing over to Canada strip of land
to be studded with British military
posts and custom houses for the col
lection of Canadian revenues. -
r Aside from the obviously plain in
terpretation of the provisions Of the
terms of the original Anglo Russian
treaty of 1926 as to the maritime lit
toral and 30-mile limit, the argument
made by Mr.. Dickinson touching the
early American occupation of the dis
puted territory and the American as
sumption Of government over the
natives without a single word Of pro-
test from the British government, al
tho the action was Of public knowledge,
remained unrefuted thru the whole in
sion.% There was no concealment,' .
saidS Mr.. Dickinson; Everything was
aboveboard, but Great Britain never
protested against or questioned these
actions. / T., submit that all these
acts of unquestioned occupation in
1857 cannot and must not be dismissed
as worthless as British counsel contend
I submit that British acquiescence in
these acts can only be taken as favor
Ing our Interpretation of the treaty.
We have undisputed occupation and
organization of government, and a Ca
madam afterthought,. thirty years later
upon the revelation of the existence OF
valuable gold fields only conveniently
reached by transit over the territory
occupied in 1867 by the United States
cannot be allowed to come in now and
overturn the established order. #
There are not wanting Americans
who contend that. for the sake o1
peaceful relations with Canada, oul
I government should give up the
Alaskan strip, including the Lynr
canal, and the towns Of Dyea ane
SkagWay. This would be sublime gen.
erosity indeed, but, before parting
with the property in this way, mos
