The Pending Conflict

Inc people are on the uptoe of ex-
'pectation with reference to President
Roosevelts forthcoming message, par
ucuiarly the part Of it that will I'M
doubtedly be devoted to the railway
rate question. Somehow it has come
to be generally understood that he
VIII forego his original intention of
forcing upon Congress the considera-
ftion Of tariff revision, purely for the
reason that he believes the other prob
lem to be more pressing for an early
solution. While there are inequalities
lin the tariff schedules, they are not
working the same degree of harm to
the country that are inflicted by the
many abuses in railway rates. Nat
,urally the President will grapple the
greater Of these two problems and
leave the other to follow as a matter
iof course.
But the way to this reform In rail-
iway rates will not be strewn with
iroses. The gigantic corporations that
control the big transportation lines in
the United States have had a busy
summer Of 1t. They have been con-
sducting vigorous campaign, so vigor-
ous In fact that 1t has extended to the
!remotest corners They admit that
there are evils in private car practices
and in the matter Of icing charges. and
profess to be anxious for legislation
THAT Will make continuance Of the
.abuses impossible, but they deny rate
discrimination, locality discrimination,
sand other customs which shippers aver
are common under the present system.
in fact, they deny having done any
thing that can be cured by transfer
ience Of the rate making power to
branch of the government. That prop
.osition is a constant menace and one
which, they claim, will threaten the
very stability of the government.
They have flooded the earth with
literature to prove their innocence.
They have pictured the disasters that
will follow in the wake of so radical
a change. They have furnished acres
of statistics to show that the railroads
have been living UP to the strictest
business ethics. and yet their protesta-
tons have received little consideration
outside of those whose interests are so
closely allied to the railroads as to
make their judgment OF doubtful
value.
In the midst Of this tempest stands
the President unmoved. He has said
that legislation should be passed, elm
mating abuses and minimizing the in
CAPABILITIES in railway rates, and unless
a better, surer method is found, he
will insist that the only corrective to
be applied is to take from the rail-
roads the right to fix their own rates
and place it in the hands of a govern
ment department. The pending con-
flict promises to be one of the most
important in the nations history. If
the President succeeds in convincing
Congress Of the wisdom Of his posi-
ton, the power Of the great railroad
systems and of the numerous corpors
lions coordinate with them, will Re
greatly curtailed. If the President
loses the fight, we may be assured
that many other transportation mag
mates will share Vanderbilt's con-
tempt for the public.-Toledo Blade.

DOES NOT DEPEND U

DOES NOT DEPEND UPON FEED.
That all does not depend upon the
feed may be tested by feeding two
cows alike, the one COW from milk
producing breei AMI the other COW
(bought to replsce a dry COW, per-
haps), and the well-hred cow will
give much more on the same allow
ance of food, and she will not take
up more room, will net entail greater
labor and her calves will be more
valuable. 1t does not pay the farmer
to keep poor animal when the same
food required for her support will
keep a better one. A good cow
should also have a good appetite, for
the more food she eats the greater
her yield of milk.-Home and Farm.

No Revision Whatever

The Democratic tariff smashers will
do well to investigate the tariff condi-
ton as shown in the figures of i'm
ports for the last fiscal year, before
they attempt any further to deceive
the people, even themselves, into be-
lieving that radical tariff revision is
necessary, or even that any tariff re-
vyision whatever is demanded at this
time.-Schenectady Union.

of the question 1t makes excellent
bedding for COWS, since, owing to its
absorbent qualities, it keeps them
almost perfectly clean. Dry sawdust,
in fact, will absorb about three times
its weight of liquid manure, and
when thus enriched it constitutes,
along with the solids, a first-class fer
tilizer, being easily shoveled and
readily spread when hauled to the
field. Horse manure, on the other
hand, needs complete saturation and
compactness to keep well, and for this
reason very little sawdust should be
mixed with it. Another reason why
horses should not be bedded with
sawdust is that it is liable to make
their hoofs dry and brittle-F. o. S.,

MANAGEMENT OF OUR HORSES.
Firmness, kindness and patience
are three of the essential elements
In the makeup of any one who is a
success in handling horses. Without
the first, man would naturally be a
failure. The condition of the horse
when under the subsection of man is
unnatural, although no domestic an
imal submits to its surroundings
more cheerfully and gracefully. To
control horse perfectly, the one do
ing it must be master of the situa-
ton under all circumstances; a firm
man will prevent disasters where >
faint one would fail. When a horse
is to be brought under subsection 1t
must be done by conquering his will
and not his strength. 1t would in
deed be dismal failure If the re-
verse were true; now as to kindness,
the more of this the better, no horse
or any animal was ever spoiled or in
jured by kind treatment. There is
no animal upon the mind of which
kindness will make a greater impress
sion than upon that of the horse. Now
in regard to patience; no man with
out patience can hope for success in
handling horses. The man who can
patiently develop the good traits Of
an animal and discourage the vicious
ones has it within his power to
change the horse OF bad habits into
one that will be valuable. These
points are certainly apparent to
every thinking man and should be &C.
CURED, if not already possessed, by
all who have the management of
horses to look after.-Louis Campbell

commerce of all nations, including our
own; when agricultural and manufac-
turing industries are expanding and
the volume of our foreign trade is in
creasing year by year, it is natural
that other manufacturing nations
should seek to enter our market. Ger

out our foodstuffs, but our best Gus
toner, England, has made no threats;
Russia has tried the game and failed;
France is not making any attempt to
force reciprocity treaty, although one
negotiated with her was defeated in
the Senate two years ago. Why, then,
should we haste to surrender to Ger
many alone when, as has been shown,
there Is little danger from that source?

The amount of work now under
way and projected along the copper
zone in the Mason Valley District
insures a prosperous season for
Yerington.
THE DyKR GROUP.
Messrs. Tibbetts and Flindt, of the
Mason Valley Copper Co., are in
camp and have let contracts for the
preliminary work on this group OF
claims. At present the work will
be confined to the upper tunnel on
this property to determine the ex-
tent and dip of the large bodies of
sulphide and black oxide ores. A
new lower tunnel is projected and
viii be started as soon as the pre-
qiminary work has progressed far
enough to give the desired informa-
ton as to the correct course to strike
the ore bodies at depth. They have
a showing in the present work OF
a twenty foot vein of 6 per cent.
copper sulphide and large body of
black oxide averaging between 10
and IS per cent.
The Mason Valley Copper Com
pany is composed of Utah men, well
known in the copper world, and its
work will be pushed with dispatch.
None OF the company's stock is on
the market.
THR DoUGLAS GROUP,
This property is maintaining the
usual shipment Of one hundred tons
per week of IS per cent. black oxide
ore to the Salt Lake market. The

prospect, but when judged by re-
suits as to tonnage and profits, it may
well be classed among the best
mines in the State.

This company has resumed work
sinking with the expressed inten-

down to and below water level.
This property has large showing
of high grade carbonate ore blocked
out and on the dumps and the COM
pany confidently expects to reach, at
water level, satisfactory deposit of
sulphides.
There are many other prospects
of merit in the district, some of
which are now under consideration
for immediate exploitation.
The lack of sulphide ores has been
a great drawback to this portion of
Nevada in the past, as it has not
been found possible to treat the rich
carbonate ores alone. With the ex-
tensive sulphide zones now being
shown up in the Bluestone and Dyer

LOCAL AND FOREIGN MARKETS
BARLEY IS BEING OFFERED
EXCEEDINGLY DULL THIS
WEEK SAYS oREGoNIAN.

Barley is being offered more freely
by holders in the country than for
some time past. Local dealers do not
appear to be in the market to buy and
consequently the offerings are not re-
sulting in business. Growers, as a
rule, are asking $23, which is declared
to be beyond the present value, though
some sales are said to have been
made at that figure on the Sound. The
general quotation in this market yes
terday was $3.50, says the Oregonian.
Oats are also quiet, but the tone of
the market is firm. No word has been
received from Washington yet regard
ing the award on the bids recently
opened by the army quartermasters.
The Portland bidders were requested
to forward a fresh lot Of samples,
which they did. 1t is thought here that
the contract will be placed on the
Sound, as the transportation question
enters largely in the matter.
The wheat market is exceedingly
dull this week. There is practically
no export demand and the inquiry
from California is limited Both ex-
porters and shippers to the south are

MANY HOGS BEING IMPORTED
TO DEPEND ON OUTSIDE
POINTS FOR SUPPLY.

Although Walla Walla dealers are
paying more for hogs than either the
Sound or eastern markets command,
the supply furnished by valley growers
is entirely inadequate for the demand
and meat men are now shipping in
from three to five carloads a week. For
several months We have been shipping
in from two to three carloads of hogs
a week to supply our trade" O. T.

Meat & Cold Storage company said
yesterday. 1T is strange that Walla
Walla county cannot raise enough hogs
to supply the nome consumption but it
is fact nevertheless. We have been
shipping in from the Dayton country.
Pendleton and Umatilla county points

Farmers Get Good Prices.
A comparison of prices paid for
hogs in the Walla Walla with Sound
and eastern markets shows that the
Walla Walla farmers are getting the
top prices for their product. Hogs are
worth in Walla Walla today about
$3.50 per hundred. At Omaha yester-
day the price was not above IS for
prime stock and as low as $4.65 for
common block hogs. In Chicago the
quotations varied but little from those
of Omaha. On the Sound hogs COM
mand around 1915 at present but deal
ers say there is no money in buying
hogs in Walla Walla and shipping them
to the sound as the transportation
charges, under present conditions,
makes it impossible to ship without
sustaining a loss.
