stockers and Feeders.

Business is very quiet in this
branch of the cattle market. The de-
mand is slack from local buyers and
there are no indications that the vol
ume of business will soon be larger. In
spite of the heavy receipts of cattln
this week there were not many stock
ers and feeders offered Tuesday. This
was perhaps fortunate thing, for not
many were wanted. No doubt many
buyers are waiting for the cheap rates
which will be available next week and
possibly then the competition will be
much greater 1t is expected that
more than the usual number of feeders
will be offered at the International
auction. sale. There is no quotable
change in the market, but the move
ment is slow and the tendency OF the
trade rather weaker. Fancy feeders
are quoted up to 1928 or better, put
not many of that kind are coming.
Sales lately have not included many
of the thin light common stockers ar@
the bulk of the business has been done
at s3@3.75 for the medium class.

as it does the work of three men. The
machine will cut from fifty to seventy
five gross Of buttons a day, depending
on the line while the average man cuts

LOVE HALkED BY LAW
Son Of President of Nicaragua Arrest
ed ON the Eve of His Wedding.

ed on the Eve Of His Wedding.
Washington, Dec. 13.-On the eve OF
his marriage to a pretty Washington
girl, whom he had been counting for
two years, Alphonso Zelaya, the 49,
year-old son of the president OF MIC
aragua, was kidnapped Friday night
while visiting his sweetheart. He was
forced into a waiting cab and driven
to prominent hotel, where detectives
kept him a close prisoner until Sunday
night. when he was started for Cen
trail America under guard. The kid
mapping was at the request of Minister
Corea of Nicaragua, the guardian OF
the young man.
Zelaya, after two years at West
Point, resigned last year and returned
to this city, where he had studied be-
fore entering the academy. He had
met Miss Marguerite Baker. daughter
of DR.. w. w. Baker, employed in one
of the government departments. ana
had fallen in love with her. The1f
wedding was set for Saturday, and all
of Friday was spent by Zelaya anc
Miss Baker fiat hunting.
Calls on Police Chief.
Minister Corea heard of the contem-
plated marriage and asked Major Syl-
vester chief of police, to aid him In
preventing it, as the young man was
only 10 years Of age. Sylvester de-
tailed two detectives to accompany MT
Mercurie, personal representative OF
the Nicaraguan minister, in q search
for the young man.
They went first to his apartments
and not finding him there. proceeded
to the home of Miss Baker. The young
man and his sweetheart were In the
parlor discussing plans for housekeep-
ing when the detectives and Mercurie
forced their way in.
you're wanted to answer to very
serious charge" Mercurie said to Ze-
laya; "get your coat and come Win
u.s."
Zelaya went to the door protesting
that he had done no wrong ana ask
inc, for what he was wanted. He was
bundled into a carriage and the detec-
tiyes followed. At the Cairo Apart
mont Hotel, in @ street, near Sixteenth
the Young man was escorted to SUITE
an the ton floor. He threatened to
comn,,t suicide unless released. WheH
minister Ccrea heard of this he was
rraatlv worried, and the detectives
we're directed not to leave Zelaya alone
for an instant.
- : Good by is Forbidden.
Miss Bakers friends appealed to Ma
ior sylvester and to the Nicaraguan
minister to permit zelaya to bid his
sweetheart good-by, but the request
was refused.
Zelaya was so closely guarded dhat
asc.ne was Impossible. 1t was under
the charge of a trusted employe OF the
Nicaraguan legislation THAI he was
started for Central America. Before the
departure Miss Baker, with several OF
her friends, appeared, and her teaful
anpeals resulted in the ministers con-
senting that she see zelaya few mo-

The Hog Supply Was Fairly Large and
Early Trade Was Active, Prices RuI-
ing About 5 Cents Hsher-Later
Prices Declined Somewhat = Sheep
Strong.

Chicago, Dec. 13.-The cattle market
unchanged to stronger prices. Stock
en- and feeder trade was only fairly
animated.
The surplus of choice heavy cattle
for the past week has given that end
of the market hard jolt. Most of
the choice cattle good enough for the
Christmas trade are 25c lower than
a week ago, while the great bulk OF
the medium to good cattle from $4.75
q 1915 are considered 30@50c lower.
No fault can be found with the outlet
for it is better than usual for the
medium cattle than at this time of the
year. The trouble is with the supply,
which for the past ten days has been
far in excess of the requirements of
the trade. 1t will be necessary to hold
the supply down next week unless
shippers are prepared to take lower
prices.
There is still liberal demand for good
heavy cows and the better grade heif-
ers. Both packers and shippers bought
the few lots on these classes readily
and some sales We're called fully
steady with last weeks closing range,
although the bulk of transactions were
quoted 10@15c under best prices paid
early Monday. Medium and plain cows
went in moderately active season and
on the whole the trade was quite sat
isfactory to sellers.
Hogs.
The supply was fairly large and
early trading was active, prices ruling
about higher. Subsequently demand
fell off and prices were five lower.
Sheep.
The market was strong and active
on both sheep and lambs with the lat
ter showing greater activity at the
outset. Many gains of 10 cents We're
indicated in the sale of choice lambs.

II the President Knew.

II the President knew that w. w.
Cotton is thoroughly opposed to all
regulation Of corporations if the Pres
ident knew that he has helped to de-
feat all such legislation in oregonj IL
the President knew the arguments he
made before the last Washington leg
%islature when a rate bill was up for pas
sage; IL the President knew that he
will use all his influence to defeat re-
form legislation in this state in the flu
ture; il the President knew that every
lawyer practicing in the courts Of this
state and the Northwest knows and be-
lieves-that no suit against a corpora
tion will ever get a fair deal in a
court presided over by a man whose
whole training has been from their
viewpoint; IL the President knew that
no mar in Oregon has done more to de-
moralize legislatures by widespread dis
tribution Of free passes during the ses.
sions; If the President knew all these
things he could not, in justice to him
self or the people Of this state and ma
tion, recommend this appointment. All
this is not saying that Mr.. Cotton is
not an able and an honest man and
WILL MAKE A GOOD JUDGE ON
ALL OTHER MATTERS BUT COR
PORATIONS.

the following language:
f'The interstate commerce commits
sion should be vested with the power,
where a given rate has been challenged
and after full hearing found to be I'M
reasonable, to decide, subject to ju'
dicial review, what shall be a reason
able rate to take its place the ruling of
the commission TO TAKE EFFECT
IMMEDIATELY AND TO OBTAIN
UNLESS AND UNTIL 1T IS RE-
vERsBD BY THE COURT OF RE-
VIEW"
The whole rate situation is so vi
tally important that it looks to a man
up q tree that the President has been
iobbed into making this appointment
II will cost the people Of Oregon and
Washington dearly before they have
got along two years in the struggle for
solution Of this problem. No worse
blow could have been struck to the
cause of transportation reform than
this appointment Of a federal judge for
life from the ranks Of the corporation
attorneys and lobbyists,
