NEW HORSE MARKET
Trade in Equines Steadily Increases
Since Construction of Swift's
Union Stock Yards.

A special from Portland says that
if anyone does not believe that Port
land is destined to become one of the
best markets in the country for mules
and horses, as we'll as hogs, cattle and
sheep. good look should be taken at
the daily arrivals OF that line at Stock
dale.
While Portland has always been
looked upon as the leading market for
livestock slaughtered on the Pacific
coast, it was only reoently--ln fact,
since the new yards were established
that the horse branch of the market
became at all prominent.
So much success has heen attained
in the sale of horses and mules in the
Portland yards recently that the man
agement of the yards have before them
proposition to construct suitable
sales places for that line alone.
At present the horses are confined
in the regular barns or in the outer
stalls, and therefore the sales are
made under wrong conditions; but de-
spite this. the trade in horses and
mules has been steadily growing and
within short time it is expected that
official announcement will be made by
yard officials regarding suitable quar-
ters.
By operating regular horse market
at the Stockdale yards, it would GEN.
tralize the trading in those animals.
instead of having the business scat
tered as has Eeen the case up to this
time. Capitalization would mean to
the horse market just what the same
thing has meant to producers of hogs,
sheep and cattle. Il would create a
regular location, where buyers and
sellers would come together. Buyers
would be able to do business at less
expense and with more satisfaction
than heretofore, because under the
proposed conditions they would not be
compelled to travel over great ex-
panse of country in Older to get what
they need. Sellers would, by the same
method, be allie to command better
prices, because of tho competition be-
tween buyers, and altogether the trade
would be conducted OH more salts
factory basis.

OPENING RESERVATION ROADS
Indian Agent Views Land Through
Which Roads Pass.

Major Swartlander, agent and su-
perintendent upon the Umatilla res
ervation, has been asked by the Indian
bureau to assess the damages aud ben
eflts to result to the allottees from the
opening of the three proposed roads
across the reservation. At this time
the major IL engaged in looking up the
land through which the roads are to
pass. AS soon as he has gathered
the necessary information and passed
upon the damages and benefits he will
report to the bureau at thington.
ID speaking rpon the subject to the
East Oregonain Major Swartzlander
said he believed the damages to allot-
tes from the three roads would be
light and that in many cases the ten
efts to the allotte would overbalanco
the loss from land taken for road pur-
poses. He also predicted that after the
matter has been fully placed before
the department the officials will act
favorably upon the matter of opening
the roads. MAJOR Swartzlander him
self IS favorable to opening the high
ways as was Major McFatIidge before
him.
Special Agent MCGUIRE was at the
agency but few days ago investigat-
ing land cases involving land former
