The first gun in the livestock COM
livestock commission trust in the mar
ket centers by the Cooperative Live
stock Commission company. which
James H. Gwinn is now promoting in
the northwest states, has been fired in
Kansas City.
The new commission company has
absorbed two large commission houses
those of s. G. Burnsides and Blan-
chard & Erke-in Kansas City, and
thus has established a nucleus for
operations.
The former owners of these COM
mission houses were members of the
Kansas City exchange, but are now
employed as agents for the co-opera-
tive company, buying and marketing
stock for the members of the new
company. The prices for handling
stock in the markets will be reduced
50 per car, at once, and all growers
shipping into the Kansas City markets
are urged to deal with the new inde-
pendent company. which is capital
lied directly by stockgrowers.
Other commission houses will be
purchased or established in Omaha,
st. Joseph. Chicago and st. Louis. and
the new company will begin at once
to handle stock from the western
ranges and from the feeding pens of
the stock feeding states.
The new company is composed en-
tirely of stockmen and will begin
business on small scale at first, in
.creasing its scope as business justifies.
The stockholders of the central states
are especially enthusiastic over the
success attained so far. They are de-
termined to overthrow the rule of the
commission house trust which has ad-
vanced the cost of handling cattle and
sheep in the markets, and which also
joins with the packing house trust in
hammering down the prices for live
stock.
The Officers of the Independent
company are: President, A. L. Ames,

The Pilot Rock Record gives the
following account of what is un-
doubtedly the banner wheat crop of
that part of Umaulla county. The
Record says:
Those who are looking for a prize
field of grain had better come. to Pi-
lot Rock at once and visit the 1OO-acre
field of wheat belonging to Mark
Sturtevant. It lies just south of the
city and is mostly bottom land.
The land until last year has been
producing three crops of alfalfa when
1t commenced to show signs of run
ming out" The land was then pIowed
and on March Is last was sown to
wheat.
A large part of the field was over
flowed during the high water and
Mark lamented what he supposed to
be a total loss Of his wheat crop. But
not so. The wheat took new start
and grew vigorously, and Strengthened
up to a height of over five feet and
has filled out splendidly.
1t will be ready for the header in
about 10 days. Estimates have been
made on the prospective yield by eX-
perts, some of whom contend 1t will
go 60 bushels to the acre. But It
matters little whether the yield will
be 60 or 45 bushels, the lowest esti-
mate made, this field Of grain is worth
a long trip to see.
The wheat, which is of the club
variety. was sown with the intention
of cutting it for hay, and Mr.. Sturte-
want made all preparations with that
view in mind and did cut several acres
before his heart failed him. when he
concluded to allow it to ripen and
then harvest it.
The 100 acres would have pro.
duced 800 tons OF hay which at IS
per ton would have netted n good
| profit, but with the prospect of a
railroad Mr.. Sturtevant concluded II
| would be a good advertisement for
/ this part of the county to have n SUI
| perior quality Of wheat for shipment.
Samples of his wheat. gathered
from different parts of the field. will

interested may see for themselves the
possibilities of this part Of Umatilla

WalIa Walla Man Benefits Nv Land
Fraud Trials.

]. J. Schiffner received word this
morning that the patent on the tim
Der land, which he took in Crook
county Oregon, three years ago and
which had been held up pending the

Rulletin. Schiffner is only one of a
large number of Walla Walla people
who took up land in that vicinity
about three years ago and who will
be affected by the decision.
The land is said to be valuable on
account of the excellent timber which
is on it and the holding up of the
patents has caused the local holders
considerable Inconvenience.
People from all over the northwest
toak up Oregon land about the same
time Mr.. Schiffner did and they will
receive their final papers in a short

CHORUS GIRL SWINDIE.
Theatrical Managers Conceive New
Form Of Graft for the Public.

A new kind of swindle has sprung
up in the theatrical profession. Some
talented and attractive chorus girl has
gone around and secured contracts in

ferred them to others, they taking the
names in the contracts.
AS consequence managers have not
found the merits they bargained for
when the contracts were signed. This

had unearthed the swindle.
Now they have a chorus girl pho

KICK ABOUT RESERVE.
Blue Mountain American "Foretells
Ruin" of Grant County.

The Blue Mountain American of
last week contains the following pes
simistic complaint about the forest
reserves:
From many localities In Grant
county comes the complaint that
stockmen-owners of both sheep and
cattle-have been unable to secure
a grazing permit for a part of their
bands within the forest reserve, and
in some instances permits were de-
MED entirely.
This is not as 1t should be. Such
course continued for few years
would result in paralyzing the stock
industry and impoverishing Grant
county.
Over half the area of Grant county
is confined within the limits of for
est reserve Grant county was in ex-
istence long before the thought of a
forest reserve was ever considered by
the government at Washington. The
county has gradually grown in wealth
and taxable property until It is only
within the past few years that the
expense of maintaining county gov
ernment has been met by the tax levy,
Any steps taken on the part of the
government that have the least ten
dency to reduce the taxable property
of Grant county is not right, fair, nor
just to the people of the county.
A forest reserve naturally hinders
development in any community, but
| on the other hand II the stock OF
Grant county is provided for with
range, the detrimental effect of a re-
serve will not be so greatly felt.
If cattle and sheep growers of thi:
county are by virtue of the existence
of this forest reserve, compelled tc
reduce the size OF their bands simply
to make grazing room in the reserve
for Columbia river sheepmen, th'
bankruptcy of the county is inevita
BILE.
This matter should be taken holC
of at once by the various stock organ
izations of Grant county, and tn
heads of the forest department a

isting conditions. without a question

SOME INTERESTING HISTORY

In 1860 to 1850 twenty one of the
old eastern companies (including the
Mutual Benefit Life of Newark. New
Jersey, the New York Life and most
of the other prominent companies)
earned in dividends an average of
3G.2 per cent while i'm the past few
years the best showing they are able
to make to their policyholders is an
average earning of S.71 per cent. or
a little less than rs per cent of their
former earnings. This ought to be
argument enough for any one, that
the old companies have seen their
day so far as their earning power is
concerned The old time policy
holders are bound to die at a great
err rate than the new risks which are
being written by the Capitol Life of
Colorado the new and up to date Wig
orous company which has sustained
but one death loss in the fourteen
months of business in which she has
written over S6000.O00 of business
an amount almost double that which
any Ollltl company hho b'ht IL hiA'
same time. Money saved is money
earned" and the mortality alone will
do for the Capitol Life in the next
twenty years just what It has done
for all companies in the first twenty
years of their life Now of course
we know that the agents of the old
companies will try to give this argu-
ment the laugh. and tell you that a
new company does not know what
1t can do in twenty years, neither
does a bank nor a merchant, but of
one thing we are dead sure. Mr.. Law
son has shown US few things which
the old companies have done in the
past ten years and we all know there
is little to their credit.

company and with home men and

WILL ENTERTAIN VISITORS.
1t is Proposed to Eentertain i'm Most
Pleasant Manner-Plans Made
for Entertainment of
Crowd from Den


The board of directors of the
Chamber of Commerce are determin-
ed to make the stay of Denver Real
estate men and the other Denver peo-
pie who will visit Grand Junction on
Friday of next week one long to be
remembered with pleasure BY the
great delegation of ladies and gen
tlemen from the capitol city.
There was a special meeting of
the board of directors last night at
tended by President Carnahan and
Directors Desch. Lyons, Moody,
Rhone Stone and Talbert. The meet
ing was solely for the purpose of ar
ranging for the entertainment of the
/ Denver crowd.
! 1t was announced that these people
would reach here by special train
over the Colorado Midland on Fri
day of next week at noon. They
will remain in the city until Satur-
day afternoon at four o'clock.
The railroad company makes a
rate to the Denverites which includes
transportation. sleeping car accom-
modations and dining car service for
the trip and the stay in Grand juno
tion consequently the Grand juno
ton people are only to provide en-
tertainment for their visitors.
1t was decided that on Friday after
noon the visitors would be given the
opportunity of taking in the extens-
i've exhibits an dthe race program at
the Mesa county fair, Friday being
the last day of the fair season.
Probably on Friday night an in
formal smoker will be held in honor
of the visitors at which the Cham
Der of Commerce members, and the
Denver people will be the guests.
On Saturday morning it is desired
to take the visitors for drives through
the people in general for the volun-
teer use of carriages and buEgies and
it is hoped that the responses will be
most liberal.
A committee composed of Henry
r. Rhone, c. S. Desch and /. n.
Bunting was appointed to look after
the details of the entertainment of
the city's guests.
1t was first announced that the
visitors would reach Grand Junction
on Thursday, the Peach Day of fair
week, but as announced in the SEN
tinel Saturday, they put off their
visit until Friday owing to the fact
that Vice President Fairbanks will
be the guest of honor at a banquet in
Denver on the night of Sept 26th,
and many who want to make the trip
to Grand Junction desire to attend
the Fairbanks banquet.
The president of the Chamber of
Commerce was instructed last night
to wore Vice President Fairbanks
inviting him to join the Denver
crowd and come over to Grand juno
ton with them. Secretary Aupperle
was instructed to issue invitations to
Gov MsDonald, Mayor spe<r, the
Denver City council, the Denver
Press club and the Denver Chamber
of Commerce, to be guests of Grand
Junction on Friday of Fair week
The bigger the crowd the better
pleased will Grand Junction be and
it is certain that a cordial welcome
will be extended to and splendid
program of pleasures provided for
these people from the capitol city.
