Garry This Through to Success.

Portland, Ore, Jan. 1S.-With the
feeling that one of the most important
meetings in the history of the organi-
cation of the National Live Stock
Association is ended, and that much
was accomplished that will be to the
| future success of the live stock inter
ests, the seventh annual assembly of
the Live Stock association adjourned
to meet in Denver next year. The
| opinion of those in attendance on this
convention is that a more successful
and pleasant convention has never
| been held
Many important questions have been
the public lands relative to grazing.
the relation of railroads to the stock
industry. and. most important of all
the establishment of independent
packing houses. This has been the
watchword of almost every session
band together in one corporation for
the purpose of bnilding and operating
packing plants of their own. that the
packing combinations may be fought
and the interests of the producer and
consumer protected, Were explained
thoroughly by those who have studied
the situation.
The necessity of raising SIS, 900, 900
for the purpose of putting this plan
into operation was ever kept before the
convention and the work of securing
subscriptions toward this end will be
taken up Immediately. The plan hav-
ing received the unanimous endorse
ment of the convention. those directing
it are determined to carry it through
to success, and no effort will be left
unmade to accomplish this end. The
expression of those who spoke in be-
half of this scheme wat that it offered
the only solution to the situation that
now faces the industry.
The election of officers resulted as
follows:
Frank J. Hagenbarth. Utah. presi-
dent: II. Jastro, Bakersfield. Calf, first
vice president; Francis Stewart. Buff

THE ANTIQUITY OF CHESS.
Game Played for More Than Five
Thousand Years.

Chess, now being played between
Socean steamers by means of wireless
telegraphy, is the oldest of games, and
Il is q striking contrast that it offers
itself for easy operation to the latest
triumph of modern science 1t was
generally assumed until now tnat the
ancient Indians had invented chess,
that it was introduced from India to
Persia in the sixth century by the Ar
abs, and that IN consequence of the
crusades 1t spread from East to West.
1t is true the Chiuese-who invented
many things in time long gone, but
which had to be re-invented in Eu-
rope-assert that they can trace chess
IN their own country to about two
hundred years before our era. Now
there can Ger ,ai.lly be no doubt in the
character OF the figures at present
used, and in some Of the words con-
Nected with the game, an Indian, Per
sian and Arabic influence is trace
able. Excavations on the pyramid
field of Sakkara some time ago
brought to light wall painting. on
which a high official is represented as
playing chess with partner. at the

who belonged to the sixth dynasty.
