Swift & Company

Louis, st. Joseph, st. Paul and Fort
Worth. The same methods Of purchas-
ing cattle, sheep and hogs prevail at
all cities. AT Chicago, which is the
largest market, there are about two
hundred and fifty buyers, representing
packers, local slaughterers in various
cities, and exporters. OF this number,
less than a score are employed by
Swift 6 Company.
The farmer ships his live stock to
Chicago, consigns them to a commits
sion firm at the Union Stock Yards,
who sees that they are unloaded and
put in pens. Then the buyers inspect
them, make their offers to the commits
sion dealer, who accepts or rejects as
his judgment dictates. All buying must
be finished at 8 o'clock each day, and
the buyer must r"y spot cash. If the
commission man has no satisfactory
OllSTS, lie Cun UOlu ms SUCK over 10
the next day. He gets his commission
from the farmer, and naturally strives
to get the highest possible price for his
client.
Wholesale Distributing Houses.
A wholesale distributing house Is a
giant refrigerator, but instead Of
shelves there are trolley rails, from
which are suspended hooks to hang the
%arcasses Some of the houses cost as
much as q hundred thousand dollars to
build and equip. AS a rule they are Of
pressed brick. the insides being lined
floor, walls and ceiling-with highly
polished hardwood. The floors are COW
cred daily with fresh sawdust and all
are kept spotlessly clean. There are
over three hundred Of these wholesale
houses in various cities Of the United
States, and the public is always vel
come to visit them.

VILEST OF THlEVHRY

The lowest depth of degradation in
San Francisco is reported now. It is
charged that funds contributed for the
relief of sufferers by the great calamity
were filehed by high city officials.
1t seems that the federal authorities
have been making a secret investiga- =
tion of this scandal, by direction OF
President Roosevelt. AS a result, it
is said that Mayor Schmitz. Abe Ruef
and "a number OF officials and citizens
will be called to defend themselves
against charges Of diversion or theft
of funds sent to that city for the relief
of fire sufferers"
That revelation shows the limit of
official venality and rottenness. It Is
on a level with such examples OF de-
basement az 'robbing a contribution
box" and stealing the pennies from

SOARING LUMBER PRICES

Another tilt skyward in lumber
prices. The greed of the trust seems to
be Unsuitable. Instead of being salts
fed with the October mark-up, as a
fixed price for the winter, similar
advance now is announced for Novem-
ber. The lateness of the order for the
present month indicates that the trust
may have intended to stop the soaring
of prices, but could not resist the force
of habit. Finding money" is laborious
compared with having lumber profits
run into the trusts treasury auto
matically by the mere changing of fig
ures.
And still all interests in the lumber
business strive to evade responsibility
by passing the buck" from one to
another. The local dealers claim that
their advance In prices merely repre-
sents the increased cost of lumber to
them. The business of that claim is
attested in part, at least, by publicly
known facts. 1t is known, for instance,
that the cost of transporting lumber
from the northern ports to Los An
geles has nearly doubled within a year.
The present charge is SO per thousand
feet the figures a year ago being S..
The mill prices and the charges for
stumpage also have been marked up
time after time within that period.
The total advance in lumber prices
within a year averages about one
third The cost of other material and
of labor has not advanced in like
proportion, but the cost of building
now is from % to 80 per cent higher
than it was at this time last year For
instance, a house that cost $4,000 a year
ago would at present figures cost from
s25OO to $26OO.
The obvious effect of this extraordi-
nary advance, together with the future
uncertainty, will be to check house
building materially A decided falling
off in the number of permits for dwell
ings, has occurred already and a still
greater decline may be expected. The
urgent demand for business structures,
however, will insure uninterrupted
building in that line regardless of lum-
Der prices.
The chief sufferers by the great adj
vance in cost of building are renters
and persons desiring to build homes.
Rents have advanced nearly in pro-
portion to the increased cost of build
ing. The only lucky class are those
who have houses for sale. All dwell
ing property has advanced in value
to an extent approximating the in
creased building cost.

NOT PAINLESS

John Henry" said Mr. Sterling
worth severely, to his son, accordlng TO
Tit Bits, as he led him by the right ear
into a room in the rear of the house,
your mother tells me that you stuck
pin into Mr.. Molar when he was here
this afternoon, calling upon your sister,
and that he jumped up and left the
house, declaring that he would never
call here again"
John Henry nodded.
You seem to have the facts, papa,
he said.
Before thrash you within an inch
of your life, my son." Mr.. Sterling
worth went on, as he reached for his
cane, '1et me say that this whipping
will hurt you considerably more than 1t
will hurt me-"
1T know that" said John Henry, with
heroic fortitude.
"I also wish to know" Mr.. Sterling
worth said, before | begin, what pos
sessed you to act in so shameful a
manner, and to drive away the only
beau that Ethel has had in two years?

a dead mans eyes" 1t caps the climax
Of San Franclsco's infamous offioial
record during the administration Of
Mayor schmitz and the little diabolus
who is the city's chief controller.
It is not merely a vague and general
accusation that Is brought against al
legged grafters Of the relief fund. Spe-
cific sums have been traced from con-
tributors to Mayor schmitz and others,
which sums we're traceable no farther.
It is believed by some Of the investigat-
ors that the aggregate Of moneys thus
stolen from the relief fund will reach
81, 900, 900.
These astounding disclosures OF off,
cial graft have led to close examlna-
tion of the financial condition Of Mayor
Schmitz, Ruef and other suspects.
San Francisco newspaper says that I'm
an effort to locate all Of the holdings
of Schmitz and Ruef the records of Los
Angeles are being looked into" 1t is
remembered that the pair have made
several visits to this city within the
last few months, and the newspaper
aforesaid intlmates that both the boss
and the mayor have put a good part of
their San Francisco earnings into
choice property in Los Angeles"
Mayor Schmitz was poor man,
leader OF an orchestra, prior to his elec-
ton as mayor. Now he is rated as q
rich man, the owner Of valuable prop
erty in San Francisco and presumably
having other large possessions. OF
Ruef 1t is said "he is among the largest
holders of property in San Francisco,
owning land in almost every section Of
the city; he has investments in the
wholesale section, in the retail district,
Richmond, University, Shell Mound,
South San Francisco and North
Beach"

the psalmist, Trouble and anguish
have taken hold on me-"

Boyle Heights citizens are properly
and naturally indignant at the efforts
of city officials to set aside a portion
OF land under the caves of the Boyle
Heights bluffs TO be used as fertilizer
works. 1t is a shame and an outrage
that this beautiful section of the city
should be compelled so frequently to
contend against the powers for the
right to fair treatment, Every old
soap factory, glue works and fertilizer
foundry that happens along Is at once
proposed as a Boyle Heights improve
ment. Happily the associations of
citizens in that fast-growing side OF
Los Angeles have been able TO keep
these things out. but IL requires much
time activity and force to maintain
the status quo. There are abundant
waste places where necessities of the
kind mentioned may be established
and maintained without injury to any
section. and it would seem to be quite
time to recognize in Boyle Heights a
beautiful residence district that will
not stand for any more unfair treat
ment

OUR WEEKLY ELECTION

-Four elections a month is the record
that Los Angeles Is making now. II
any city desires to compete I'm the cleo
toral race It will please come to the
scratch.
The general election occurred No
vember 6, and the connecting link cleo
tion November 12 Next Thursday, No
vember %, is the date fixed for the
county bond election, and following
that will come the city election, De-
cember 4. That will make four cleo
tions in twenty-eight days, an average
of just one a week.
The county bond election now has
the right of way on the electoral
track. The total sum involved
therein is 100000, divided into five
specific appropriations More than
half of the entire amount, $780,
900, is wanted. for acquiring land
contiguous to the court house for build
ing a hall Of records and providing more
room for the county offices. For addi-
tions to the county hospital 100000 is
wanted; for an addition to the Jail,
S5O.0OO for a Juvenile detention home.
s6O.OOO for additional county farm
buildings, $4,000.
There is no doubt that all the pro-
posed improvements are needful to eff
fciency in the county service. The
question is likely to be raised by many
voters, however, whether it is expedient
to offer so large bonded loan in the
eastern money markets in advance of
the big issue of bonds that very soon
will be required for the owens river
water project.
AS The Herald has declared frequent
ly, nothing should be allowed to jeop-
ardize the successful floating of the wa
ter bonds, at reasonable rates. 1t is
understood that a water bond election,
involving a loan of from $3,O0O,000 to
s., 900. 900, will be called directly after
the board of consulting engineers sub
mits it's final report. These engineers are
now at work and they are expected to
complete their report in February.
1t is the judgment of many business
men that the county bond election
should not have been called at this
time. Financial conditions in the east
are not favorable just now for floating
even such gilt-edged loans as the Of
ferings of Los Angeles city or county.
The county Improvements for which
the bond issue is required might be
postponed few months without much
detriment to the service, but not so
with the great water project. That is
the first and foremost consideration.
There is, of course, a nominal distinc-
ton between bonds for city and county
purposes, but the interests are sub
stantially the same.
In view of these considerations, The
Herald will not be surprised If the vot-
ers fail to indorse the county bond
proposition next Thursday.
