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 expdters. OF this number,
less than a score are employed by
Swift & 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 pay spot cash. If the
commission man has no satisfactory
offers, he can hold his stock over to
the mex 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 carcasses. Some of the houses cost
as much as a hundred thousand dol
lars 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 covered daily with fresh saw
dust 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 al
ways welcome to visit them.
Packing Plants.
All the Swift & Company plants are
located at the great live stock markets,
in the heart of the great agricultural
sections, where car be purchased the
finest grades of cattle. sheep and hogs.
We have seven packing plants, employ
ing at each from two to eight thousand
persons.
The following gives the locations
and sizes Of the different plants.

The total distributive sales for 1905
exceeded
20O,0OO,000.
This total is realized from the sale
Of fresh meats (beef, mutton and
pork, provisions, produce (poultry.
butter and eggs), soaps, CLUES. oils.
bones, fertilizers. feathers, castings,
hides, woods, pelts and other by-prod-
ucts derived from cattle. sheep, hogs
and poultry.
Margin Of Pront.
The industry is operated on a mar
gin of less than 2 cents to each dol
lar Of sales. Swift & Co. do not sell
at retail. Their entire output is sold
at wholesale to many thousands of
dealers in various parts of the world.
There are hundreds of local slaughter
ers throughout the United States, who
buy their live stock in competition
with the packer doing an interstate
and international business. Likewise
the packer must sell in competition
with the local slaughterers. There are
no secret processes in the industry, no
complicated and expensive factories,
and as live stock can be purchased in
almost every hamlet and city, and the
preparation of meats is simple in the
extreme, local slaughtering will long
remain a factor in the production Of
fresh meats and provisions.
Economic Advantages.
The large packing houses will, how
ever, always have these advantages:
Locations at the chief live stock CEN
tiers, with the opportunity to buy the
best live stock; manufacturing in
large quantities, at the minimum of
expense; utilization of all waste mate
rial; refrigeration; mechanical appli-
ances; highly efficient business man.
agement. These advantages are re-
flected in the quality of the packers
output, a quality that has reached its
highest development in the products

been accomplished since his departure
from Egypt. And Pharaoh was salts
fed, nay, more, he was pleased with
the services Moses had rendered and
was impatient for his return only that
he might bestow upon him the honors
and distinction which he felt he had
won.
But to Thermutis, the Princess Moth
er, Moses dispatched the following let
ter of explanation:
Dearly Beloved: The kings bust
ness has been executed successfully,
and ere this l expected to be back with
you in Egypt, but something has
transpired even while l was preparing
for my return which impells m to
tarry. Who would have thought that
in far off Ethiopia l would have been
led to continue my search for knowledge
of the Hebrew people? But such now
seems expedient, for reasons which 1
will proceed to explain. After the
first decisive battle and the rebel
forces had been scattered, l was with
the division of the army which was
pursuing the main body of the enemy.
Our efforts to overtake the fleeing reb-
els were unsuccessful, but on the third
day there was brought before me a
man who had been captured and in
whose possession was found a roll of
papyrus which my soldiers, unable to
read, supposed might contain valuable
information about the enemy. On
questioning the prisoner, through an
interpreter, l found he claimed to be
of Hebrew descent-there are some
Hebrews scattered through this south
ern country, having been brought here
by Egyptian masters-and declared
that he was seeking to make his way
back to Egypt, having been intrusted,
he said, with the papyrus writing by
a very aged Hebrew who was the
chief leader of the insurrection. In
%intrusting this precious bit of manu-
script to this man, the aged Hebrew
had impressed him with it's value and
Importance, and as he stood before
me he was in an agony of fear lest
it should be destroyed. He declared
that he was to deliver it if possible
into the hands of some one of the
elders of the Hebrews in Goshen. AS
you may we'll imagine l was at once
intensely interested in the man and
his roll of papyrus, and opened the
latter eagerly, finding that it was writ

tiers. This is the brief message l
found inscribed therein:

NATURE Fooled PALousE PROJECT
Yakima Republic Takes Sides With
Senator Ankeny in Controversy
Now Occurring.

The Walla Walla papers are quar-
reling over whether Senator Ankeny
killed the Palouse project, says the
Yakima Republic. We believe in
blaming a public man for nearly
all the troubles that come, but
candor compels us to say that nature,
and not Ankeny, put the Palouse pro-
ject out of business, and that before
it ever got in. The Palouse project
never was a project, except perhaps
in the minds of few SPECTATORS An
keny did all for these people that was
to be done. If he had been Foraker,
ora Spooner, or Aldrich, he couldn't
have had that irrigation scheme built
by the government. The reclamation
service isn't throwing the public money
away in big chunks such as the
Palousers demanded.

DATE FOR TRACK MEET SETTLED
Whitman and University Of Washing
ton Will Contest for Honors in
Seattle May II.

Manager Sutherland of the Whitman
track team received a telegram from
Seattle this morning announcing that
the date for the big track meet be-
tween Whitman and the University of
Washington had been definitely set for
May II at Seattle This will be the
first time that the Whitman track team
has invaded the territory west of the
Cascade mountains. This meet will
probably be one of the most important
held in the northwest this season.
Whitman has the best bunch of ath-
letes that have ever represented the
college on the athletic field and the
university is said to have a strong ag-
gregation. Whitman will be weakened
a little by the absence of butcher, who
will remain at home to play ball with
Whitman when the university team
comes here The ball game and the
track meet will take place on the same
day. Cox, who is now catching for
Whitman, will accompany the track
team to Seattle.

Britt Nelson Fiqht.

The Britt-Nelson fight pictures are
a moving, almost talking exemplifica-
ton of the healthiness and advantages
of boxing. We are shown two splendid
young athletes, pictures of health and
vigor, combating and struggling like
mad bulls, yet without sustaining in
jury or accident, and undergoing a
physical strain which would stop an
ordinary man in 10 short minutes.
Round after round, these fine young
fellows battle, and each succeeding
round finds them as fresh and wiry as
when the fray began. Talk about your
physical culture exercise-boxing, as
shown in these pictures, has them all
discounted. Who, after seeing the
Britt Nelson pictures, would not rath-
er be either Of these young men than
equity occupant of a padded office

THE PROPOSITION IS BE|NG DISCUSSED
COMMERCIAL CLUB WILL BE ASK.
ED TO TAKE UP THE
SUBJECT.

Will Walla Walla celebrate the
Fourth of July this year? That is the
question being asked by quite num-
Der of the business men. Walla Walla
has not had a celebration for two years
and it is the general opinion of the
citizens that a big celebration should
be held this year. The matter is to be
presented to the Commercial club direc-
tors at their next meeting, with the
hope that they will take hold of the
proposition and carry it forward to a
successful issue
BY getting in first and advertising a
celebration throughout southeastern
Washington it will probably be the
means of heading off many of the small
towns in making preparations to cele-
brate the Fourth.

MARKET LOOKS BETTER FOR FARMEs
Exporters Say There Is a Better De-
mand from Abroad-CaIifornia
Also Takes Wheat.

The closing of the season finds the
market assuming a slightly better po-
sitiOn from the standpoint of holders,
says the West Coast Trade Exporters
note a better demand from abroad at
the prevailing low prices, while for the
first time since the turn of the year
the mills have been in the market
for moderate amount of wheat.
The demand from this source is not
large, but slightly improved tone to
the export flour situation at current
low rulings has caused manufacturers
to feel more confidence in taking
stocks. California has also taken a
little more wheat of late but one of
the main elements of strength has been
owing to the fact that growers have
been devoting their entire attention to
spring seeding and are selling prac-
tically no wheat at all.
After the crop is in the ground there
will be considerable stocks to be re-
leased, but from current advices the
percentage Of last years harvest still
in the hands of growers is relatively
small, and there will not be a carry
over Of sufficient magnitude to mater
tally affect new crop values, so far as
the Pacific northwest is concerned.
General reports Of the visible and
invisible supply show that the country
at large, with normal exports from
now on to July 1, will have consid-
cradle surplus, while the outlook for
a full normal yield is at present en-
couraging.
Argentina and Russia are not meet
ing full expectations in the matter of
out shipments, while this country is
materially expanding it's shipments as
compared with a year ago. The official
report from India shows a reduction
of some 100000 acres in wheat area,
while last seasons exports were ap-
proximately 34,OOO0O0, according to
BeerbOhm.
Locally, prices have gained another
cent a bushel, and are ruling at 9Oc

ceipts were the lightest since the open

IT'S a mighty good time to beware
of the cars.

home run, and Mr.. Upton promptly
passed over the five.

Manager Tempany, if you expect to win
many ball games this year.
The fans were badly disappointed
yesterday at the showing made by the
Boosters, but only few are knocking.
Breed, as usual, gave universal salts
faction as an umpire. He is a favorite
with fans and the ball players as well.
The contrast in the time of the
Thursday and Friday games was quite
in the remarkable fast time of one
hour and seven minutes While yester-
, day it took one hour and fifty minutes
!; to put a stop to the agony.
It was cold enough yesterday to
give the spectators the shivers, but the
way Walla Walla played ball made
every one feel as though winter was
coming the second time.

WAllA WALA WAS 0UTPLAYEO YESTERDAY
THE VISITORS WON THE GAME
BY A SCORE OF TEN TO
FOUR.
The Walla Walla ball team has hear

The Walla Walla ball team has been
rlghuy named Boosters" Nearly
every man that composes the aggrega-
ton is booster, but not the kind of q
booster that Walla Walla needs The
boosting is done the wrong way.
Whenever they go into a game the
players all try to boost themselves into
the error column and, judging from the
game played yesterday, they are MAX
ing a success of their efforts.
For dumb ball playing, poor base
running and bad attacks of rattles.
the Walla Walla team surely is en-
titled to be at the head of the list.
In the presence of the largest crowd
that has assembled at the ball park
this season the Yellow Kids gave the
Walla' Walla team a defeat that will
long be remembered by the fans The
score was 10 to 4. The visitors out
played the locals at every point of the
game, showing that under the tutelage
of Ike Butler, a Tacoma pitcher, they
had learned the game from A to z.
They can hit the ball, run bases with
vengeance, handle the sphere success
fully and work together just like a
machine.
enough hits to win the game, but the
players made enough errors to lose a
dozen games For four innings the
game was close and interesting and the
fans expected to see the local team
make the contest a hard fought one.
In the fifth inning, however, the Walla
Walla men lost their heads and errors
came thick and fast, giving the Yellow
Kids such lead that it was impossible
for them to be overtaken.
Both teams used two pitchers in the
game. Parkes started off in the box
for Walla Walla, but was relieved in
the sixth by Rumnell. Osborn was
the initial point for the visitors in the
first inning, but his arm was not strong
and he gave way to Willard at the
beginning of the half of the second.
Danny Shea was behind the bat for
the Yellow Kids and when he strutted
out on the field he was given an oVa-
ton by his many friends in Walla
Walla. Danny plays ball just the same
as he did in the days of the old In
land Empire league, but he has gotten
over the habit of kicking and talking
back to the crowd. He made one effort
Yesterday to intimidate Umpire Breed,
but after being ordered to the bench
he decided that he would keep quite.
Shea hit like an old Lacquer, and out
of five times at the bat got four safe
hits. one being a homer.
Gilpatrick. the new shortstop for the
waIla Walla team, made his first ap-
pearance and his work was of the very
best order. He has a good arm, fields
his position we'll and can hit the pail.
Athena and Walla Walla will play
another game tomorrow afternoon and
the Last one on Sunday.
