STOCKMEN URGE CANAL
srsIeels Of Railroads And Forest Re-
serves Were Considered.
THE sTOCKMEN AS PACKERS.
a Unanimou. Vote For An Independent
Packing House Company to Estab-
Iish Plants to Compete with The
Packers Combine.

Portland, Ore, Jan. 16.-By unan-
imous vote and with great show of
enthusiasm the National Live Stock
convention adopted resolutions heartily
endorsing the policy of President
Roosevelt with reference to the build
ing of the Panama canal. When Pres
ident Springer introduced the reso,u-
ton he alluded to the discussion of the
Panama question in the senate and the
criticism of President Roosevelt on
account of the position he has taken.
The call for vote was the signal for
roar of ''ayes" and a burst of deafen-
ing applause. Not dissenting voice
was raised. A copy of the resolution
was Immediately wired the president.
The subjects of railroads and forest
reserves were considered in relation to
their effect upon the livestock indus
try. Shortage of cars, slow time in
transit, and high tariffs formed the
burden of a number of addresses bear
ing upon the first mentioned subject.
That legislation might be had remedy
ing the exclusion of stockmen from
forest reserves, was the demand of
every speaker on the public lands sub
ject.
The proposition to incorporate a
company of live stock men for the pur-
pose of establishing independent
packing houses in the stock centers of
the country to compete with the pack
ers' combine and restore prices of live
stock was an all absorbing topic of
discussion. By unanimous vote the
convention endorsed resolution IA
voring the incorporation of such a
company and the establishment of the
independent house. The plan of this
company is to compete with the COM
bination plants giving the producer a
better price for his stock and main
tanning reasonable prices to the con-
sumner

Quite sunny. why pray
How could we compare them
With days that are nay?
If life were all sunshine
With never a cloud,
How could we know distance

How sweet would be sweetness
With never its sour?
And what would our life be
If Death had no power2

Else love would be nothing
