OUR BEEF TRUST IN, SOUTH
AMERICA.

The American Meat trust. according
to excellent information which has
crystallized out of rumors long aaoat.
Is reaching out to control the meat
supply of the world. Its agents are
reported planning a campaign in Argen-
tina, the second great meat producing
country, which looks to either the
peaceful absorption of the packing in
terests there. or else their destruction
by campaign of unrelenting eompeti-
tion in which the greater resources Of
the Americans would win.
Already New York sees hope Of
cheaper meat for that city. in the event
OF such a contest. The packers are to
put on lines of steamships to bring
meat direct from the Plate to Atlantic
coast cities. Without doubt. this
would reduce prices IN this market at
least so long as the Argentine packers
survived to continue the war for their
place in the Argentine market The
present tariff of fresh meats would not
be a serious bar at our ports But it
may be gravely doubted whether in the
long course OF events this competition
would help any American consumer.
The Meat trust would lose some money
in the early stages of its struggle, and
when its control in Argentina was es-
tablished it would put prices up to
point which would win back all il had
lost, and more. No town, invaded bv

and the most promising possibility of
reseuing the world from it lies in the
chance that the Argentine government
will take effective steps to stop the
American invasion. There is at least
one Latin American country in which
such an invasion would be made i'm
possible we believe, by the vigorous
methods which the government would
adopt. That is Mexico. Argentina has

Capital Tales

c ENATOR WILLIAM q. BRADLEY
. broke out in the Senate the other
evening when every one was feel
ing mad and tagged out and ready to
fight, and succeeded In restoring good
humor by a speech on jute and some
other things. Bradley disclaimed desire
TO talk anyone to death, but he admitted
he was himself getting weary of tariff
argument.
I have seen a great many sorts of
politics since 1 have been IN the Senate,
Mr. President, he said, "a great many
strange things that do not understand,
being a Young man from the country,
not acquainted with the arts and sci
ences of politics. but being a simple.
plain, old-fashioned Kentuckian. 1 have
seen a lot of things I'D here that 1 do
not understand. And tariff, tariff, tariff.
has been ringing In my ears until I feel
a good deal like the man who killed
another down in Kentucky.
when he was arraigned and asked to
tell his story, he said:
" killed him in self-defense.
Well, said the lawyer. did he try
to Kill your
No: he did not
Did he draw weapon on your
No: he did not.
Did he insult your wife or your
daughter
No; he did not.
Then. what did you Kill him fOr2'
Because he came to my house when
l was behaving myself like a gentleman
and not inteTrupting anybody, and said
he had come down there TO talk tariff
10 me. That is the reason why l killed
him. "
The Senate was in mood to appreciate
the griegous nature of tho provocation.
and enjoyed the joke.
Jute is the bane of Senator BradIey's
life. If 1t were not for free 1ute life
would sometimes wear a roseate hue.
He said.
IF there is anything in this world
that is imported into the United States
free that is absolutely a source of dis
gust to an American citizen, IL Is jute.
Where does Jute come fTOmI Who are
she people who make Jute? HeathenS,
yellow men, spotted men, everything on
earth but white men. They go out and
work in the fields. / had some pictures
of some of them the other day. | wish
you could see them. They have never
found out that the day of fg leaves is
past. And that ie the scrt of degraded
labor that you reward in free America
by allowing jute to come to your shores
unprotected.
Il appeal TO the Senate for justice in
this matter. 1t is true I come from the
ashamed of that There is no better
State on this earth than Kentucky
Kentucky is like a mans wife was
when she said that there never was a
better woman on earth than she was as
long as her husband would let her have
her own way"
Bradley's final crushing argument for
a jute duty was that kentucky paid
ne ore internal revenue TO support the
Government than any other state but
two. Everybody laughed at this honest
confession and the Vice President had
to admonish the galleries TO keep the
peace or get thrown out

Cards and Courtship

The few remaining bacherlors
of Bonners Ferry feeling very
much discouraged over the matri-
monial prospect of 1909, decided to
avail themselves of one more op-
portunity by inviting their best
girls to 500 party at the X P.
hall on Wednesday evening.
There being one extra couple,
they made themselves CONSPICUOUS
by playing "hearts." The princi-
pie feature Of the evening was
watching Tiberius Mccall make the
coffee. Miss Leah Monks won
ladies first prize and Miss Marie
Wales won the BOBBY prize; Bert
Hall won gents first prize and John
Moore BOBBY prize. From reports
it was the most enjoyable event Of
the year of 1908, and from the
smiles on some of the bacherlors
faces the next morning, the ladies
must have taken advantage of theil
opportunity.

The mass meeting called last
Monday evening at Kent's hall. to.
confer with Senator Whitaker in
regard to the bridge across the
Kootenai river at Bonners Ferry
was arranged very quietly and
hardly one-third Of the people knew
anything about it, consequently 1t
was not SO we'll attended as one
would expect. A. ]. Kent called
the meeting to order; J. K. Dolan
was chosen chairman and Bert
Hall. secretary.
Senator Whitaker made shart
address asking for some suggestions
in relation TO the bridge bill to be
introduced in this session of the
legislature.
s, D. Taylor's bill of two years
ago was practically adopted, Sec
tons 1887, and 8 were amended
in some trif1ing instances.

across the river, and also to have
some blue prints of the river banks
made: w. l.. Kinnsar, A. ]. Kent,
