DOlNGS OF STOCK MEETING
Resume OF the Business Done at the Recent
Meeting of the National Live Stock As
sOCiatiOn at Portland.

that it will be satisfactory to the pro-
Queer, consumer and manufacturer.
These committees will meet in Chica-
go or Washington as soon as practical.
The convention unanimously en-
dorsed the action of the officers of the
association during the past year In
their endeavor to secure the establisa n
ment of independent packing plants
at various points, throughout the
country, to counteract the undesirable
influence of the packing combine in its
manipulation of prices. The loss to
the stockmen by reason of this fact
since July, 1902, has been in the
neighborhood of $3.50, 100000. A CON-
pany has been incorporated for this
purpose, and I am encouraged to be-
Heve that the plan, which was agreed
upon by the board Of directors of the
COMPANY during the Portland meeting,
will result in the building OF two or
more plants Of this character during
the coming year. It is unnecessary
for me to go into detailed explanation
to the stockmen as to the importance
Of this step. .tas,
Measures were taken to induce con-
gress to repeal the Lieu land act.
through which the people of the west
and the government have been de-
prived of vast valuable timber, graz
ing and agricultural lands. X
Energetic action was taken to pre-
vent the passage Of the bill which has
been introduced in congress for the
purpose of organizing what is known
as National Federation of Humane
Societies." This bill seeks to place
the inspection Of live stock and all
matters relating to transportation and
the levying of fines for violation of the
law, in the hands~of the humane or
ganization. The National live stock
association has always been opposed
to this system of inspection and for
two years fought it through the courts
and finally induced congress to pass
bill placing the inspection of inter-
state shipments of live stock in the
hands of the federal inspectors. This
bill as it now stands is quite satisfac-
tory to stock growers and the enact
ment of the measure drawn by the
Humane societies would nullify the
law now in operation and compel us to
take step backward to the old and
unsatisfactory conditions
The association is again called upon
to oppose a measure introduced in
congress removing the duty on hides,
but through the able efforts of Senator
Warren Of Wyoming the Indications
are that the attempt will be defeated.
Should this bill pass. it would mean a
loss to the stockmen Of not less than
twelve and half million dollars an
nually.

USE NEW TELEPHONE DEVICE
500 Road Installing Telegraphones On This
Branch of the Road for Train and Sta
ton Service. ....:. w.. X :

Chief Lineman e. B. Dodd of the 500
road was in the city Sunday, after
having installed telegraphone at
Wishek, on the 500 road, aud he is
preparing to put In others for Supt.
Derrick on this division. One was in
stalled today in the baggage car Of
the 500 line train that operates on this
division. The telegraphone Is a de-
vice by which train on the road may
have instant telephone communication
with any station along the line where
there is another installed, and on
branches like this one, where there is
q long distance between. stations, 1t is
of inestimable value. The telegra-
phone IS the application of the princi-
pie Of the ordinary telephone, with a
portable line connection SO that it
may be connected in few minutes
with an ordinary Telegraph line. The
instrument is contained in an ordinary
wooden box about foot square There
is an ordinary telephone receiver and
transmitter, with a bell alarm. Four
dry batteries furnish the current. This
instrument is installed in the baggage
car Of the train. A % foot bamboo
pole, jointed like fish pole, carries
a wire connection through It's length
to a clip on one end. By raising the
pole and swapping the clip over thee

ment In the baggage car could be con-
nected with the telegraph line by
means of the pole. and the train crew
could report to some station. As it
has been heretofore, a train might be

station and could only establish com
munication. with headquarters by
sending a man to the nearest station
with q message to be telegraphed.
Tests were made in Supt. Derrick
Office yesterday, and connections made
with sWishek, over eighty miles away.
Conversation was carried on readily
and distinctly. The 500 has installed
a number of the instruments along
their line, and will have one in the
local office of the 500 as soon as it
can be furnished. The demand for
the instruments is SO great that the
company making them is far behind
in It's orders. %%% w =. '%$}'
A peculiar fact in connection with
the instrument Is that conversation
may be carried on over the telegraph
wire, and telegraphing may be done
at the same time over, the same wire.
The device is the patent of, an old
chief operator of the Western Union,
and Is IL great value on western roads
where 1t Is necessary sometimes to es-
tablish communicable in short order.

La bulletin from Secretary Martin
If the national live stock, association
statement of the work done
at the recent meeting of the national
live stock association at Portland.
The summary Of the work will be of
to all engaged in the raising
Of life stock. The bulletin says:
"The matters acted upon at this
meeting were probably the most i'm
portant of any the association has yet
had before it, are as follows: A
committee Of leading cattle and sheep
owners was appointed to confer at the
earliest possible date with the general
traffic managers of western roads with
a view Of having the recent order dis
continuing return transportation to
shippers, rescinded, and endeavor to
come to some amicable understanding
whereby shippers will be promptly
furnished with cars for the transporta-

time of stock trains, and for an adj
justment of freight rates in localities
where they at present seem to be I'M
just. The association has had an in
timation that these important ques-
tons will be reviewed by the transpor-
tation officials and such concessions
made as will be just and equitable to
all concerned.
The request of the association fol
the appointment of special fedora,
commission to investigate and report
upon the arid land and forest reserve
conditions which have been very un.
satisfactory to the western stockmer
during the past two years has beer
successful. This commission attend
ed the convention at Portland an6
hearings were held in Oregon and
other western states, by which these
officials were thoroughly advised as to
the complaints of the stock growers
There is, every reason to believe that
these matters will be adjusted at an
early date.
The Grosvenor anti-shoddy bill
which is of as much Importance to the
wearer of wooden goods as the growers
Of wool, and which was drawn and in
PRODUCED in the Fifty-seventh congress
at the request of this association is
unsatisfactory to the members of the
National association Of wool manufac-
turers, who have opposed its passage
during this and the past session. In
view of the fact that it would he diff
ficult to secure the passage Of this
measure in the face of the opposition,
committee has been appointed BY
the president of the National live
stock association and one from the
National wool growers association to
meet at the earliest possible date with
a committee from the National asso-
citation of wool manufacturers. with a
view of amending the present bill SO
