SHEEP BUYER WILL RETURN.
John Towne VIII Quite the Business
for Seattle Real Estate.

John Towne, the we'll known sheep
buyer of Cut Bank, Mont, was in the
city for few hours yesterday morn
ing. He was upon his way to Montana
from Seattle, where he had passed
several weeks lately.
"In our part of Montana we did not
suffer much from the Storm" he said,
because winds came up and blew the
snow into drifts. AS a result we had
no trouble feeding, and letters I have
received from my men show the losses
to be light. But in the section
around Miles City and near Glendive
I understand the losses were terrible.
The snow was deep and crusted be-
fore the big storm came on. on ac-
count of the crust 1t was impossible
to clear the ground for feeding, even
with snow plows, and the sheep
died"
During the winter Mr.. Towne has
been specializing in Seattle real estate
and thus far has met with good sue
cess He says 1t is now his intention
to dispose Of his sheep next summer
and try his fortune in Seattle, which
he believes will be the most thriving
city of the coast.
Owing to the uncertainty at this
time, Mr. Towne says he does not care
to contract sheep yet, but expects to
return to Pendleton for that purpose
in month or six weeks.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June 3.-It
was stated at the department of justice
today that report from MeSsrS. Todd
and Simpson appointed some months ago
by the President to investigate both the
anthracite and bitumlnous coal carrying
railroads with reference to any violations
of the sherman antitrust act had been
received by the attorney general.
Mr.. Bonaparte has given the matter
careful consideration and it was the sub
jcct of conference 4 few days ago be
tween linn and Chairman Knapp of the

torucy general today said that no action
has as yet been decided upon as it is
intended To submit certain questions of
Importance, both as to the law and the
policy OF the department., to tile Presi-
dent for his consideration.
As to the report of Messrs. Todd and
Simpson concerning the roads euga &cd in

MINNESOTA LEADS
NEW RAIL FIGHT
Calls Convention of Commonwealths
Passing Two-Cent Fare Laws
State Versus Government.

ST. PAUL, Mimi. June 81 Special
Attorney General Young announced to-
day that he had sent request 10 the
governors and attorneys general OF ono
Indiana New York, Illinois and other
states where the legislatures have
adopted 2-cent railroad rate asking for
a conference 10 take whatever action may
be deemed advisable regarding the pres
Gu: rate situation.
This action on the part OF the governor
and the attorney general Of Minnesota Is
the result of an attack made last week
by the stockholders of e-Ht railroads
against the recently enacted > cent and
reduced freight rates in the United
States courts which Mr.. Young contends
is antagouiStic TO state supervision Of
railroads.
What may develop into something
most significant is found in the fact that
the matter of states rights versus those
of the federal government Will come up
for discussion and there is a great prob
al illty that this conference will have
much political influence in the next presi-
dental election. With all Of the 2-cent
fare states lined up against wide fed
eral authority they will and can WELD
a mighty influence i'll 1905.

MEAT CHEWING MISTAKE
SWALLOW IT WHOLE, ANIMALS DO,
SAYS DIR. WILEY.
Government Chemist Believes Eater Has
Satisfied Nature When He Gets Food
in Stomach, No Matter How.
WASHINGTON, d. c.. June g.

WASHINGTON, -. G., June 8
Don't chew meat. Gulp it in chunks
Mastication has no part in the diges-
ton of meat. There is some reason for
believing that chewing will make meat
indigestihlc. The saliva is an alkali.
Acids are needed for the conversion OF
flesh into the elements that nourlsh the
human body.
Too much chewing may raise the al
kalinity of flesh used for food to such
an extent as to seriously hamper the
work Of the stomach. which, alone, has
to do with the disposal of animal matter.
This in brief. is the gospel OF br.

and swallow il in chunks. Therefore the
