not nearly get pay for his feed and
labor.
Mr.. H. w. Tramm, of Adna, Wash,
who has a good Chehalis Valley farm
we'll equipped for feeding cattle, with
sixteen good steers now waiting
buyer that will let him out whole, says
there is not two-fifths the profit in
feeding cattle that there was dozen
years ago and no profit whatever in
raising them; yet the retail price OF
beef is higher than ever.
IT. Alexander, who has lived thirty
eight years in Lewis county and owns
one of the very best farms in Chehalis
Valley, we'll fitted with fences, build
ings and stalls for growing and tatten-
ing cattle and annually raises about
400 tons of hay, says he would far pre-
fer to grow and fatten beef cattle ii he
could get half rent out of his lands, as
he likes the business and is fitted for
it, and it takes much less labor and is
better for the laborer, giving him
steady work the year around. Besides,
it keeps up the fertility OF the farm
The farm in early days annually kept
about 100 head of cattle but on &C
count of lack of paying market for
several years past has not kept over
six and most of the time only two or
three for family use.
Mr.. r. T. Siler and J. T. Chilwat,
of Vance, Eastern Lewis County,
Wash, are the leading pioneer cattle
growers and feeders OF the famous
Big Bottom country. They located
sixty-five miles from railroad on very
rich grass and grain land, intending 10
grow cattle extensively and they did
finely in earlier years, as they could
bring out droves of cattle couple OF
times each year and make fine profit,
while hay, grain or fruit would cost
double what it would bring to haul 1t
out. The latter part Of February, 1913,
thew drove out thirty head of well bred,
we'll fed beef cattle and could only get
31b to cents for them. While they
are better located and better fixed
than most anyone else for. the economl-
cal rearing and feeding of cattle they
say that unless markets improve they
must quit and try something else for
a business. Most other growers have
quit and are vealing over three-quar-
tiers of their calves.
d. w. Boone for the past thirty
years the leading dairy and stock
farmer of Lacomas Valley formerly
raised nearly every calf, as he had
plenty of pasture and hay and could
make a fine profit on his steers in adj
dition to his good dairy returns. Now
he scarcely raises calf and no steers
whatever. He says there are not now
one twentieth as many Stalled steers
in this country as in former years at

Your harness maker and shoe man
tells you as an excuse for extending
high prices: "The tanner has to pay
the butchers so dear for hides" Mr..
Oscar Picket says he took in a lot of
good beef hides and could only get
cents a pound from the butchers for
his hides.

you have to, in travelling until you find
one that suits you and then don't be
afraid to pay what he is worth. There
are too many people who buy good
seed corn, good seed oats and good
seed wheat and are willing to pay an
extra price for it but will squeeze their
pocket book when buying seed cattle.
No man harvests any better crop than
he sows and the man who starts with
a scrub bull can hope to harvest moth
ing but scrub calves and a loss of
feed. Get that good bull new. feed
him properly through the winter and
you will be on the right road to have
a better crop of calves next year.

was at Lakeside and Chelan the day
that Methow band of cattle were
driven through and at Wenatchee
when they were weighed and loaded
and at Seattle when they were I'M
loaded and slaughtered. 1t seemed a
sin that such a finely bred band of
young COWS should meet their doom at
such low prices. The packers could
make more profit on them within forty
eight hours after they paid for them
than the growers did in three to six
years raising them. y
But, what could the growers do.
Their bank at Brewster was broke,
they each needed a little money, their
cattle were fine and fat and they could
not hold longer as all their feed was
needed to carry other stock until
spring. Feed was hard and expensive
to get in, and when buyer came he
was treated like prince and got the
stock at his own price and they drove
it scores of miles to the railway and
he had it killed before they could get
back to their homes. The packers
who killed these cattle could make
more profit on them in one week than
the growers could in the years it took
to raise them. Many of those cattle
were raised on free range or the
would have cost double what they
brought l hope The Ranch will ably
struggle for justice to the producer
and consumer, until it wins.

Self-Inf1icted Wound.
BY AssoeIatee Press.

New York, July 14.-William Wild
of No. 29S Avenue B is dying today
in Bellevue hospital following his at
tempt to put an end to his sweet
hearts life and his own in an alleged
suicide pact revealed in a remarka-
BILE letter found on him.
Wild shot but only wounded the
girl. VERONA Meehan, Is and pretty,
as she was returning TO her home, No.
'7O1 East Twelfth street. with a party
of girls from a days outing. The
letter states that their meeting at
Twelfth street and Avenue c was pre-
arranged and that she expected him
TO kill her when she reached there.
The letter which Wild wrote early
in the day and carried about with him
until it was found when he was taken
10 the hospital was addressed to the
girls father, who apparently did not
look with appreciation upon Wild's at
tentions to the girl.
Wild was waiting for the girl when
she returned from an excursion last
night with party of girl friends. AS
she and the girls with whom she was
approached, he ran towards her, draw
ing 22-cahbre revolver from his peck
et. The girls. with the exception of
Miss Meehan, ran from him scream
ing; She stood still.

bullet struck 4ser- tn-sa------l-A------
the second ploughed a furTow III her
right cheek. She fell to the pave
ment. Then Wild turned the pistol
on himself and fired twice back of
the right ear. He dropped near her
unconscious.
The girl was only slightly hurt.
When she saw Wild fall she raised
herself and tried to staunch the blood
from the wound back of his ear with
her handkerchief. He was taken to
the hospital under arrest. He was %

electrician, but had lately given ii up

BRYAN'S CONCEPTION
OF THE PRESIDENCY
Great Corlrnoner Gives His
Opinion of What Fits a
in the Land-How He
Should Be Equipped.
Special to The Journ al

New York, July 14.-William Jen-
nings Bryan, the Democratic nominee
for president, has written an article
entitled, My Conception of the Pres
idency'' for the July Is issue OF COl-
Iier's Weekly. Mr.. Bryan says:
The presidents pOwes for good or
for harm is often overeStimated- Our
government is a government of checks
ana balances; power is distributed
among different departments, and
each Official works in cooperation
with others. In the making OF laws,
for instance. if the president joins
with the senate and the house he may
recommend, but he Is poWerlesS to leg
isIate except as a majority OF the SEN
ate and house concur with him. Inc
senate and the house are also lnde-
pendent of each other, each having
veto over the other, and the president
has A veto over both, except that the
senate and house can, by two-thlrdS
vote, override the presidents veto.
Vhe influence of the president over
,gisIation is, therefore, limited; he
lares responsibility with a large
number of the peoples representa-
tives. Even in the enforcement OF the
/ law he is hedged about by restrictions
He acts through an attorney general
| (whose appointment must be APPROX
ed by the senate) and offenders
against the law must be prosecuted
/ in the courts so that here again the
responsibility is divided In the max
ing of important appointments, ne
must consult the senate, and Is OF ne
ceSsity compelled to exercise care and
discrimination. The most important
requisite in a president, as in othel
