Live Stock Bulletin.


Among other things the Nation
al Live Stock Association has
this to say:
INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
If it Is possible to get the inter-
state commerce act amended as
provided for in the Quarles Coop
er bill, the troubles of the ship
pers Of live stock will be minim-
lied. The National Live Stock
Association, for four years, has
been aiding the interstate com.
merce law convention to secure
the enactment of this amend
ment. The bill is perfectly sat
sfactory to all our people, and is
now before the committees on in
terstate commerce of both houses,
ready to be reported out on the
reconvening of congress in Deem
Der. You are urgently requested
to write your members of con-
gress and senator's, demanding
that they give this matter their
attention, and, if possible, have
resolutions adopted and sent to
the speaker of the house, presi-
dent of the senate, and TO Hon,
w. p. Hepburn, chairman of the
house committee on Interstate
and foreign commerce and Hon.
S. B. Elkins, chairman of the
senate committee on Interstate
and foreign commerce, requesting
early action on the bill.
PACKING HOUSE COMBINE.
This association has been glad
to Join in the opposition to the
combination of packers against
the producers and consumers of
meats. The agitation is bearing
fruit; Congressman Martin, of
South Dakota, has succeeded in
having the bureau of commerce
and labor order an investigation
as to the existence of such COM
combination. Any person having
positive information which in
any way will indicate a combina-
ton between the various slaugh-
tering firms to arbitrarily fix the
prices of live stock and dressed
meats, or for division of stock
purchased or profits made, or to
drive competitors out of business
by selling the dressed product at
prices lower than the cost of pro-
duction, can aid in this investi-
CATION by sending the informa-
ton to the honorable secretary of
the bureau of commerce and
labor at Washington, d. @. In
order to suppress this combina-
ton it is not necessary to have
the Sherman antitrust law
amended, as has been suggested
in some quarters. This law is
equal to the occasion if the evil
dence is forthcoming,

GRAND BARBECUE
San Angelo viii play Hostess on July
Fourth and Ask Her Neigh
bOrs in

In response to the call of Pres
ident John Abe March of the
Business Club for mass meet
ing of citizens to consider the
suggestions of having II Fourth of
July celebration in San Angelo
there gathered at the court house
Monday night a plumber of re-
preventative business men and
citizens. DR. March stated the
object Of the meeting after which
G. b. Metcalfe was called upon
and in q characteristic address
told those present why ne favored
having barbecue and general
celebration here on July 1. Mr..
Metcalfe dwelt upon the fact that
people for miles around will
gather here to "breuk bread"
with us Oh that day who upon no
other occasion have been in, or
will likely come to, San Angelo
He insisted that San Angelo
ought to do this thing for the
advantage the people OF the city
would receive by getting ac-
qualnted with those of the sur
rounding counties. He believes
in having the barbecue on large
scale, with enough for everybody
and TO spare.
Mr.. i. Mosbacher, of the firm
of l.. Schwartz & Co., agreed
with Mr.. Metcalfe III all he SAID
and brought out the additional
point that our entertaining OF
visitors has not included the
people of our own section for sew
eral years. He thought it advis.
able that San Angelo people and
business men seek to become bet.
ter acquainted with the people OF
the Great Concho Country and
welcomed the idea Of Fourth-oi
July barbecue and picnic rs al
excellent opportunity for this
purpose. He thought that
the people Of this section
would appreciate it more
if San Angelo asked then
to come spend the day with us,
sit at our table and become bet
ter acquainted with us than wher
we ask them to come spend theil
money here. We all like TO hav,
them trade with us but what We
want TO do is TO ask them to visit
MS when we are not expect
ing them to spend money or d,
anything except let MS make then
comfortable and at home.
Upon motion it was declare,
by vote that the opinion Of thos
present was that San Angelo
ought to have this celebratiol
and that steps be taken for it
realization.

paying still higher prices than
chose which have hitherto been
quoted.

Of the court and that he was standing on
the streets with his hands in his pockets

HIGH MORTALITY SHOWN.
Causes Number OF Deaths
Health Office Comment.

The weekly report of the health depart
ment submitted today by Dr. w. Z. WOOD
ward. health officer, to the Commissioners
shows that there were 14S deaths IN the
District Of Columbia during the week enoeo
Saturday, January 8, 1904, which SHOWS
death rate per LOCO inhabitants of 2o.6. In
the preyious week they numbered 126. rep
rasantine a de ath rate of 222 and In the
corresponding period of last year 123. with
a death rate of 221. OF those who died
during the current week, 70 were white
with a death rate of 1915, and SO were col
ored, with a death rate of 49,.
The high mortality shown by the above
figures was due chiefly to a disease prevent

the colored population Is but one-haif as
