SCHIFF AND KAHN
SUBMIT ANSWERS
Deny Conspiracy Charge Made
by Government in Mer-
ger Suits.
LIGHT ON TRANSACTIONS
ACTED AS DIRECTORS AND BANK
ERs AT SAME TIME.

Jacob II Schiff and Otto II. Kahn, two
of the defendants in the so-caned anti
merger action brought by the government
under the Sherman law against the Union
Pacific and a number Of others, filed an
swers in the United States court yester-
day. All of the defendants have now an
swered except the Northern Pacific and
the Great Northern from which concerns
no answers are expected.
The answers filed by Schiff and Kahn
throughout deny all part in any cOnspir-
acy or combination in restraint of COM
petition between the Union Pacific ana
the Southern Pacific or any of the other
lines engaged In competitive traff1c. so
far as their knowledge and belief goes
It is asserted that all transactions be
tween Kuhn, Loeb Co. and the Union
Pacific or Oregon Short Line were en-
tered into as bankers. AS directors OF
the Union Pacific they acted for the best
interests of the company always, and
never in pursuance of a conspiracy.
Not Proper Defendants.
For the general reason that Kahn and
Schiff resigned as directors. in February,
1906. they maintain that they are not
properly party defendants to this suit
Schiff was a director from March J. 1875,
and Kahn from July /, 1891.
They are members of the banking firm
Of Kuhn. Loeb & CO. which firm made
many transactions. but il is denied that
il was the fiscal agent of the Union Pa
cific. The defendants say they have no
knowledge of the control or management
or bylaws of the company since they
ceased to be directors. They deny that

they and the defendants, +. II. Harri-
man and James Stillmau, together with
II. II. Rogers and Henry c. Prick, have
owned or controlled a majority of the
capital stock of the Union Pacific. They
deny that prior 10 Feb. 26, 1896. the Union
Pacific managed the Oregon Short Line
or the Oregon Railroad & Navigation com
pany, but IL did own some OF the stock
OF these companies. The defendants have
no knowledge of competition. but If there

Feeding Stock a Particular Job
The feeding of cattle when corn sold
at ten cents bushel was an unset
entific proposition. and many men
made money out OF the operation
without thinking much about It, Corn
cannot be now unscientifically fed and

In the raising of live stock have
so changed in ten years that the men
that go only on past experience are al
most certain to be heavy losers. Live
stock raising must now be studied

MAKE BEEF RAISING
PAY YOU A PROFIT
Factors Which Influence Value
By j. II. Skinner.

The production of cattle which will
return a profit both to the producer
and the feeder, is a problem which
deserves careful attention. 1t is east
ly possible to buy cattle which have
been produced at loss and fatten
them at a profit, but the aim Of the
most thoughtful and intelligent men
engaged In the beef cattle business
is to encourage the production OF a
grade OF cattle which will return a
profit when sold as feeders without
diminishing the profits in finishing
them. In producing such cattle the
particular system TO be followed
should be determined by the size. To-
cation and adaptabllity OF the farm.

ciated with early maturity. This is
desirable from the producers stand
point, as it enables him to market
his cattle as feeders weighing 1000
pounds at is to 20 months instead of
keeping them a year longer in order
TO attain the same weight. The early
maturing steer will also sell for a
greater price per pound, as the ex-
perienced feeder has learned that they
will not only make rapid and economi-
cal gains but will finish quicker than
those which are slower in maturing.
Not only is this type more desirable

PROJECT FOR
HARNEY COUNTY
RECLAMATION SERVICE
is INVESTIGATING.
No Money Now Available But Esti-
mates Are Being Made for Future
Reference-Preliminary Work Al
ready Done by the Government in
the Harney Country Arid District.

Joseph Jacobs, consulting engineer
of the L. S. reclamation service, and
E. I. Davis, an assistant, are here In
vesugating the irrigation possibilities
saws the Burns Times-Herald.
Considerable preliminary work was
done here by the government several
years ago when the Silvies valley res
ervoir site was withdrawn from entry
and surveys made Of the lands sus-
ceptible, but the project was finally
left and work begun upon other irri-
cation schemes.
Mr.. Jacobs gives out no encourage
ment for any definite action by the
government in the immediate future.
but says that the Hermiston project
is practically completed and the
klamath irrigation scheme sufficient
" advanced that the reclamation SER
vice is looking for other fields of la
Dor.
While no money Of any consequence
Is now available for the undertaking
Of a project of any great magnitude,
the reclamation fund is accumulatine
quite rapidly and soon there will be
sufficient funds TO begin operations
on some project.
Mr.. Jacobs states that he is here
simply to familiarize himself with this
section so as to be in a position to
make suggestions at the proper time.
He has visited the silvies valley res
ervolr site and pronounces it one of
the finest he has seen.
The gentleman's time is limited at
this time and he will have to take his
departure Monday for shaniko where
he will meet other representatives,
but he will return here later for a
more extended tour and examination
Of this project.
= The Times Herald views this visit
as portending some action by the
government in the near future, al
though Mr. Jacobs gave out no infor-
nation that would lend to such a
conclusion.
The time is ripe for such move
and the service would find local peo-
PIE more than ready to do their part
toward the reclamation, or rather ir-
rigation of this great valley.

Rains Everywhere.
The temperature was nearly nor

and the warmest weather prevailed

The long drought was broken by
showers which were general during

rain fell in the lower portion Of the

nearly three-quarters Of an inch. In
the eastern and southern counties the
rainfall was in most places very
light and insufficient to lay the dust

MYERS TAKES HIS BRIDE.
Aged Salem Man Outwits Sons and
Detectives.


Having completely outwitted pri>
vate detectives employed by the sons
of Joseph Meyers to watch him, the
wealthy Salem merchant whom his
sons have sought to have declared in-
sane, was married at 1880 o'clock
Wednesday morning to Zenaide Du
Retta, says the oregon Daily Journal.
The ceremony was performed by Cir
cult Judge Morrow in his chambers
at the court house while the detec-
tives were scurrying around the Port
land hotel, where they supposed Mey>
ers to be.
Unless some new move is executed
by the sons, their father has appar-
emily completely triumphed. The OBJ
ject of the insanity complaint was to
prevent the marriage. and the Mey-
ers boys supposed that they had at
least postponed the affair until after
the alienists report and a hearing is
given on evidence that they desire to
present to show that their father is
Insane. This hearing is set for Fri
day before Judge Webster, but nearly
everyone except the sons and their at
tt rney have looked on the proceedings
as a joke, and neither of the princi-
pals to the marriage were worried
by the fact that the bridegroom's in
sanity has not yet been officially de-
termined.
