CONCERNING
BEEF TRUST
Report of Commission of Cor.

Congress-.
ABNORMAL CONDITIONS
High Prices Of Beef Comparsd-..Con'
clusions on Percentage Of Profits
Of Big Packing Companies.

Washington, March 3.-President
Roosevelt today transmitted to Con
gress the report of the Commission
er of Corporations on the beef indus.
try, submitted in compliance with a
resolution of the House adopted March
z, 1904. The report deals with the
prices of cattle and dressed beef, mar
gins between such prices and organi-
zation and the conduct and profits of
corporations engaged in the beef indus
try. 1t says that six packing compa-
nies known as the big Six" slaught-
cred in 1903, 5,521,S7 head of cattle
out of a total slaughtered in the Uni
ted States of 100000 or about rs per
cent.
The report says the conditions in
1902 were abnormal and that cattle
prices for 1903 and 1904 cannot fairly
be compared with that year. High
price of beef which caused so much
complaint among consumers at this
time," the report says, were attrib-
utable wholly to these abnormal cattle
prices" Conclusions are stated that
the big Six" are apparently not over
capitalized, that the percentage of
profit on the gross years business is
comparatively small, and that during
1902, 1908 and 1904 Swift & Companys
profits have exceeded two per cent of
the total sales, and Cudahy & Com
pany's profits for 1904 are given as is
per cent, and in 1908, 2.S per cent.
Profits of private car lines are very
liberal, fourteen to seventeen per cent
being indicated, but these add very lit
tie to the price of beef.

spent a few days in this city on legis-
lative business. His particular mis-
sion was legislation ostensibly to ex-
tend the study of geology at the Uni
versity. Three bills in connection with
this subject had been introduced at
various times during the session and
two Of them were defeated. The last
bill carried no appropriation and it
was thought by those in favor of it
that 1t was sure to become a law. Con-
siderable work was done, members
were importdned and several promises
and pledges were secured. The House
passed the bill named and the profes-
sor and his friends were sure Of fav.
orable action In the Council. While
they were waiting for the passage of
the bill in the Council, the opponents
OF the measure worked quietly and,
presto, the bill was recalled from the
Council by the House and upon its
reaching the House, was promptly put
to sleep for the session. The New

AS TO TEACHERS, CERTIFICATES.
The Question of Renewals Passed Up.
on BY Solicitor General George
w. Prichard.

The question as to the renewal O
certificates of teachers of the frs
class, having been submitted to Solici
tor General G. w. Prichard by the
Territorial Superintendent of Public
Instruction, the Solicitor General has
rendered the following opinion:
Santa Fe, N. NJ, March 1, 1905.
Hon. Amado Chaves, Superintendent
of Public instruction, Santa Fe,
New Mexico.
Sir am in receipt of yours of this
date, in which you call my attention to
certain inquiries contained in letters
OF Professor c. NJ. Light and Clar-
ence B. Link, as to whether certif-
cate to Mr. Link, to teach in the pub
lie schools of the Territory, may be
re-issued after it has expired, and re-
questing my opinion thereon.
From the facts as presented, it ap-
pears that Mr.. Link received a first
grade certificate, September 18th, 1901,
and thereafter failed to have the same
renewed. Under Section of can Act
to amend certain provisions of the law
relating to public schools" approved
March 18th, 1901, holders of first
class certificates are entitled to have
them renewed within any county at
the discretion of the superintendent of
schools of such county, without for
NAL re-examination in case evidence is
shown OF successful experience in
teaching and faithful attendance to
duty. This renewal of a certificate
shall only be made with the consent of
the Territorial Board of Education, but
in the absence of such renewal all first
class certificates, shall be void on the
expiration of three years from their
date" In the case Of Mr. Link it
seems he made no effort to have his
certificate renewed within the three
years after its issuance.
'In my judgment, in order to keep
the certificate alive he should have
had it renewed within the time pro-
vided by the statute. He having failed
to do so, makes the certificate void
after the three years have expired
from date of its issue. The certificate
on becoming void places him in the
same attitude he would have been in
as teacher had he never received a
certificate.
IT do not think it is in the power of
the county superintendent Of schools,
even with the consent of the Terrific
rial Board of Education to put life in
to a void certificate. The law does not
provide for it's renewal, after it once
becomes void. I have no doubt that
Mr.. Link can show successful expert
ence in teaching and a faithful attend
ance to duty as q teacher, but this is
not sufficient to overcome his derelic-
tion in not having his certificate re-
newed within the time the law re-
qufres.
TT Is therefore my opinion, that his
certificate cannot at this time bel
legally renewed.
Very, respectfully,
"GEORGM w. PRICHARD.
Solicitor Genera"

LEGISLATIVE
POINTERS

Judge Pendleton made an eloquent
speech advocating the passage of
House Bill No. 112, by Mr.. Lynch, the
good roads bill He made many con-
verts.
| Speaker Dalies announced at the
afternoon session of the House yester-
! day that he had appointed Representa-
tive George F. Ellis as a member of
the committee on education.
Governor Otero has announced hav-
| ing signed Council Bill No. SO, An Act
to amend Subsection 1874, of Section
26S5 of the Compiled Laws of 1897, re-
lating to the setting aside of judgments
in civil action.
Representative w. w. Williams, of
Sierra County, is proving himself one
|of the best members of the House of
Representatives He is always on time,
alert, quickly grasps the situation and
votes intelligently and properly.
Councilman Charles E. Miller is a
very methodical and thorough-going
business man and he carries these
qualifications into his actions and
votes in the Council. He must be
fully posted upon measure before he
votes upon it and when he has made
up his mind how to vote, why, there's
an end on it,"
Representative Crollot, of Bernalillo
County, is very attentive to business
and never too late on any question or
bill under discussion. He is quick to
see point and to make use of this
faculty, which is very valuable in a
member of legislative body.
Speaker Carl A. Dalies is as hard
working a member as there is in the
House. He is persistent in pushing
bills in which his constituents are
interested and he let's no grass grow
under his feet. He is very earnest
and conscientious in his work.
Councilman Martin is very busy |
man and, what is more, he puts his |
time to very good purpose for the peo-
pie. He is chairman of the finance
one of the most important |
In the Council, as well as several other |
committees and member of
others. Nevertheless, he finds time to
be very courteous and obliging to Wis
TORS, especially those from his dis.
trict, who are loud in their praises of
his kindly and genial conduct towards
them.
Representative George F. Ellis, of
The Fifteenth District, yesterday on
the floor Of the House made an elo.
luent speech in favor Of the amend.
ment to House Bill No. 80, by Mr.. Pen
lleton, providing for the Greenleaf
history of New Mexico 1t was un-
ioubtedly of great influence and 1t is
'reely admitted that this speech made
possible the amendments adoption.
President Clark, of the Legislative
Council, is drawing bill providing for
/ change in the present system OF the
selection and qualification of jurors.
Mr. Clark believes that the change
should be had; will introduce such
,ill and will work for it's passage. 1t
s a little late in the session but If
my one man can get the measure
through the Council, 1t is certainly the
lignified and self-contained presiding
'facer Of the Council.

change-Banks Really Buy the Ac-
counts Of the Millers-Faraway Or
Clers,

The -four mills of Minneapolis are do
ing business this week ever an area Of
the worlds surface surprisingly great,
even in an industry in which export
trade always figures. Bran is being
shipped to Germany, flour to South At
rica, Japan and the Philippines. Two
mills of one local company are running
also being shipped in small lots to Vene-
zuela and Brazil, the latter q country
ordinarily hard to get into. This bust
ness is, aside from inquiry received from
thru regular channels, from Glasgow,
Belfast, London, Liverpool and other
cities Of the United Kingdom, about
which there is nothing unusual. Ex-
the whole, but it is probably more wide
ly distributed this week than ever be-
fore. Some inquiry is in hand today
from Amsterdam and other Holland
cities for millstuffs. 49,.
s'Export business, altho not large IN
volume, is livelier now than tor some
time, past, ,, said W. G.. Crocker -! of the
ders are not big, but they are more nu-
merous by far. A while ago the mills
could do nothing for export, but now we
are getting back in again to some little
eXtent.'
One result of the foreign shipments
is greater activity in the foreign de-
partments Of Minneapolis banks. Much
of the flour exported to the Orient is
settled for in American money, but
shipments to countries far. removed and
not in close financial touch with Amer
lea necessitate the use of London ex-
change, as does the business with the
United Kingdom. On this business the
mills figure the pound sterling as the
equivalent of $3.50 par value: The ex,
change rate varies, running from $4.S6
down to $3.50 or under.
Holland business is put into guilders
or forms at the rate of about 2}1a to
the dollar The franc is the unit fol-
France. For Germany the unit is the
mark, which a Minneapolis miller, in
estimating selling value, figures as equiv
alent to 1913 cents, altho the ATLANTIC
steamship companies in figuring freight
charges make the mark valuation Az tC
the dollar, for greater convenience, OF
about 1856 cents.
When a MINNEAPOLIS miller ha;
shipped his foreign order, the head OF
the foreign department gets busy and
soon has it figured out, in foreign mon
sary in this connection, as rates Of ex
change vary, and exchange is a compli
Gated proposition anyway, and the rul
ing rate Of exchange usually enters into
Galley ation when naming price for 6
foreign sale.
When the miller has his foreign bill
or bills ready he offers them to thu
banks for collection, or really sells thu
documents to the bank. The highest
banking business has been livelier TO,
several days owing to the larger mum
Der Of small foreign bills offered by thu
millers.

EXPERT SANITARY ENGINEER
COMES HERE FROM CANADA.
He Discusses the Methods of Purifying

factory Because of Cost of Installa-
tion and Of Maintenance Been

Allen B. Hazen, expert sanitary engi-

the Minneapolis water supply, arrived
this morning from Winnipeg, to which

Winnipeg has! been suffering severely
on account of impure water. Typhoid
fever has been raging there for several
months, owing largely to an infected
water h supply: coaditiq Wn are now low
beeen taking hef water from artesian
wells. The supply ran short and it was
necessary to draw on the Assiniboine
river. The prevalence of typhoid fe-
yer, however, was not due entirely to
contaminated water; at least it was ag-
gravated by other conditions. It ap-
pears, however, that the artesian sup

club, and the Business Men 8 associa-
ton. In talking with Til Q J Jour
n a with regard to the situation here
he expressed the opinion that ;atisfa &C.
the use Of a sand filter or a mechanical
filter; that the purity Of the. water de-
ivered did not vary materially, wheth-
er from one or the other. The differ
ence in results, if any should appear,
would be likely to come from the great
er care necessary in operating me-
chanical plant.
The chemical treatment of the water
in mechanical filtration depends upon
the experience and reliability of the
men charged with that duty. If they
do their work right every time the re-
suits will be satisfactory, but if they do
not understand the changing condition
Of the water at all times, they will not
be uniformly successful. In the case
of the sand filter, there are no elements
of uncertainty of this kind to be consid-
cred; ordinary attention to the condi-
tion Of the filter bed will bring the same
results uniformly. Mr.. Hazen believes,
however, that in the long run the sand
filter is cheaper, because the operation
is less expensive.
Speaking of the policy Of the council
in asking for bonds before advertising
for bids, he stated that it would proba-
bly, be difficult to secure bids from re-
liable contractors when there was un-
certainty as to whether the work would
ever be done. Unless the council had
the money in sight, and was morally
certain that it would go ahead with
thee work, it was not likely the most
responsible bidders, either for mechan.
ica1 or sand filtration construction
would care to bid.

upon a sawdust-covered floor, or to sit
