WILL FIGHT PACKERS.
Stockmen In Convention Adopt Independent
Packing House Plan.

The proposition to incorporate a
company of livestock men for the
purpose of establishing indepen-
dent packing houses in the stock
centers of the country to compete
with the packers combine and re-
store prices on livestock was the
all-absorbing topic of discussion in
the National Livestock convention
at Portland, Or, last week. By
unanimous vote the convention
endorsed resolution favoring the
incorporation of such company
and the establishment Of the in
dependent houses. Steps will
now be taken to raise stock sub
scriptions to the amount of $5,ooo,-
900 for the purpose of capitalizing
the corporation and placing it
upon financial footing to proceed
with the work of establishing
plants for the purpose outlined in
the discussion.
The idea of the stockmen is to
have a corporation composed en-
tirely of livestock raisers, who
shall be shareholders in the COM
pany and the directors of its
business affairs. The plants of
this company are to compete with
the combination plants, giving the
producer a better price for his
stock and maintaining reasonable
prices to the consumer. In turn
these independent packing houses
are to be supported by the live
stock raisers against the combi-
nation. Now that the association
has endorsed the plan, which is
entirely separate from the organ
ization, the matter of interesting
livestock men in the project and
of securing subscriptions to raise
the necessary capital will be
placed in the hands of committees
to be appointed for that purpose
in the stock raising States.

The Treasure Vaults Of the West are Being
Opened.

Never in the history of mining
on the Pacific Coast has such in
terest been evinced in the indus
try as at present; never have such
golden opportunities been pre-
scented to capital for investment
opportunities far ahead of any
which the industrial world before
offered, says the Mining and En-
cheering Review.
When the gold fields of Austria
liza, Rhodesia and the Rand were
discovered, millions of pounds in
English money were poured into
the treasures of the companies
which were formed to exploit
them, and they yielded golden
harvests; the diamond fields of
South Africa and Brazil were mag
netic attractions for the employ
ment of capital and the returns
were enormous; the oil regions of
Baku opened an avenue for idle
money to be placed where the
earnings were magnificent. But
with all these in mind, and coldly
calculating the stream of gold
which has returned for them, it
must be apparent TO those who
have watched the wonderful de-
velopments in the mineral regions
of the Pacific Coast within the
past three years that there is a
field large enough and rich enough
to tempt and give employment to
all the idle capital in the world
immense as that is.
From the snow-capped peaks OF
Alaska, that wonderful empire
which has not been half explored
and the possibilities of which can
be judged only by the compare
lively small territory which has
been developed and which has al
ready yielded many millions, may
be traced a series of gold, silver
and copper lodges almost without
interruption, paralleling each
other and running through British
Columbia, Washington, Oregon
California, Nevada, New Mexico
Arizona, Lower California and
Mexico to the southern borders OF
that republic, and activity is
marked in the mining districts in
all that great region.
Here, indeed, is the mineral
storehouse in the world, and
wherever the hardy prospectoi
penetrates he finds reward for his
labors; here is a country mineral
lied from the Arctic circle to the
tropics and from the Rocky noun
tains to the sea, presenting the
opening for capital with certain
ty of magnificent returns that mar
has ever witnessed.
There is now an awakening tt
the Importance of the mining in
dustry in the States and Terri
tories of the Pacific Coast, anC
brains, muscle and money are com
bined to open up the mines which
are already pouring out theil
metal treasures; the magic want
of capital has struck this rich min
eral region and it has entered ar
era of prosperity which will
eclipse any before known as fal
as history goes; an era which
future historians will write of a.
the golden age.

DISTRIBUTION OF WATER.
Some Conclusions Arrived at by the Agricul-
tgraI Experiment StatiOa.

wv @HpOs ss"C"s cses'v"s
The present lack of system in
the distribution of water is not
satisfactory to the majority of the
people who use water. 1t is salts
factory only to those who are To-
Gated so they can get the water,
and they usually take it without
reference to DEGREES or priorities.
Records of claims to water
should be made at one central
Office of records, copies of which
may be kept at the county seats of
the counties which comprise the
watershed of the stream in
question.
The inch as unit of quantity is
unsatisfactory on account of the
variety of ways in which it is used
and the corresponding difference
in the quantity of water represent
ed. The great diversity in the use
of the inch is confusing and mis-
leading, rendering it impossible to
decide the quantity appropriated
and the quantity, if any, still sub
ject to appropriation.
The cubic foot per second is a
unit that fulfills all the require
ments for the perfect unit for the
statement of the flow of water A
unit for this use must take the
velocity of the water into account
as the cross section of the channel
conveying the water, or, in other
words, this unit must be a COM
pound unit in which time is to be
considered as we'll as volume. All
claims, as we'll as all measurements
of flow, should be stated in terms
of this unit.
The water claims should be
adjudicated by some competent
body, representing the State, so
that the claims may be given some
legal standing. The right to the
use of water for irrigation should
rest upon as firm a foundation
legally as does the right to the use
and enjoyment of the land.
The adjudication should be of a
uniform character throughout the
same watershed, which can only
be accomplished by having single
board of adjudication to have jur-
isdiction over the entire watershed
to be adjudicated, instead of having
an independent board of adjudi-
cation for each county which may
happen to contain a part of the
area of the watershed in question.
The adjudication should not per
nit excessive claims to be made
along one section to the disadvan-
tage of another section.
In the adjudication of the water
claims, the number of acres that
may be irrigated with one cubic
foot of water per second should be
recognized and all claims be limit
ed to the stated amount.
The excessive claims permitted
by the present system show upon
the records as over-appropriation.
The duplication of claims shows
upon the records as bona fide
claims and makes the over-approp-
I tiation seem greater than it really
is.
The distribution of the water
should be made by disinterested
parties, representing the State,
who are familiar with the problems
of the division and measurement of
water and who are under bond
and are sworn to the faithful per-
Torrance of their duty. The
person who is charged with the
distribution of the water to be

Last evening at the Brighton Athletic
club OF scituate In the 1th round the
fight scheduled for 20 rounds came 70
sudden end when Charlie O'Rourke or
Cambridge sent "Scaidy Bill" Quinn OF
Albany into the land OF dreams.
II was 10 rounds OF fast tighting with
honors even and the nthe dreaming. They
were both mixing things in trip-hammer
style when O'Rourke caught Quinn under
the guard and there was nothing remain
ing but the counting OF the money, the
blow given being a right TO the jaw
The referee began to count and Quinn
struggled TO rise. but the other man had
to be declared the winner. Stimulants
and smelling salts quickly revived the de-
feated when taken TO his corner.
A substantial guarantee was posted by
the club officials. and II was found that
the money taken in a. the door would not
approach this amount by large margin.
Rather than disappoint those who had
braved the slemtns TO witness the fight,
the managers OF the club made up the
difference out OF t..eir own FUNDS, ann
put the men In the ring.
Owing 10 tho delay Incident 20 adjust
ing the financial end OF the match, the
principal bout was somewhat late In
starting In the first round O'Rourke
showed UP decidedly better than his dusky
opponent and carried the fight to the
Albany man all the way. In the second
round Quinn seemed 20 have sized up his
opponent better. and was able TO smother
most of his leads, at the same time get
ung in a few punches himself In tho
early part of the third Quinn put a hard
left to tho Jaw but O'Rourke came back
at him and was forcing the going as the
round ended. The next two rounds were
even, Quinn improving his defensive work
as the bout progressed, and using his
right 20 the head with good effect. The
sixth round brought out some hard fight
ing in which "Scsldy Bill" had the ad-
vantage, and the blood was flowing from
O'Rourkes nose as the bell sent the men
to their corners.
In the next three rounds honers were
about even, swings and clinches taking
UP most OF the time and few telling blows
being landed on either side. In the 10th
O'Roufke used straight left TO the head
and neck. but his blows apparently lacked
power. and the colored man did not seem
to be troubled by them. Both mon mixed
II freely In the llth. and O'..ourke handed
out a couple of stiff lefts to the head and
a light left 10 the body. Suddenly Quinn
made a lead for O'Rourke and ran d.
rectly into a short right TO the side OF the
Jaw. The blow felled the New Yorker

and for several seconds he lay stin, The
referee began TO count of the seconds
