BEEF NOT SHORT
DECLARE BUTCHERS
Has to Pay for Them-Bctter
Beef-NOt Better Prices.

DENVER, Jan. 11.-There Is no
shortage Of beef in America and no
probability of any shortage, accord
ing to the National Livestock associa-
ton. President Jastro and Vice
President Mckenzie vehemently de-
MED the statement that there is a
shortage at the afternoon session of
the association, which was turned
over to the beef producers .associa-
ton. They opposed the campaign of
publicity, urging the farmer and
homesteader to raise cattle and de-
clared that so long as 5000. 600. 900
worth of beef is exported each year
there is no danger Of shortage.
Vice President Mckenzie declared
that the howl that beef prices are
putting 1t beyond the reach of the
man Is unwarranted. III he demands
choice cuts he has to pay for them,
but good beef" he said, "is within
reach of all. What should be urged"
he said. rs better cattle. not more Of
them"
Short addresses along similar lines
were made by d. j. Sheehan Of
Rongia. Wyo., and A. Dedicqles of
Denver. A resolution requesting the
breeders association and range asso-
citation to combine to improve the
breed of range cattle was adopted.

P|TTSBURG IS
REALLY SHOCKED
Gay Steel Trust Millionaires Hold
Naughty Dinner, So They
Say.

PITTSBURG. Pa. Jan. 11.-LittIe
by little the details of the Carnegie
Steel officials Saturday night dinner
leaked out today. and even Pittsburg
is shocked
The event was an annual affair and
1t cost 800 a plate. Inasmuch as
there were 70 persons present, the
stockholders of the United States
Steel Corporation were said today to
have started bombardment of
questions consisting of why's" Also
do the the stockholders ask to be
made acquainted with the nature of
decorations that were said to have
required an outlay of $4,000 for Am
erican beauty roses and 500 canaries.
AS for the gasps, somebody started
story circulating that the famous
Seely dinner of a few years ago was
entirely outdone. There was not
only q single dancer to enliven the
banquet room Saturday night, 1t was
declared, but there were several of
them. And Seely's terpsichorean dis
ciple didn't do It any better than Sat-
urday nights array. If the gossips can
be believed.
But lnasmuch as even the keyholes
to the banquet hall were stopped up,
and armed guards placed at the door.
1t isn't probable that many details
are going to become known. the BAN
queters said.

Throughout the briefs Of the Great
Northern attorneys read like the anti
railroad arguments of n few years

from court decision, "The defendant

shareholder, but its first and primary
obligation is to the public"
The brief says also: "If the rail-

HUMANE SOCIETY DOING
~ EFFECTIVE WORK ~

Your horse needs good care as wen
as good food.
II something good is done for your
animal, 1t is nothing Ill done for its
master.
Good drivers are patient and kind
and have little use for the whip.
Animals should be protected from
flies and insects. Gauze blankets and
long tails are the best protectors.
Exposure kills horses; it is econ
omy and humane to protect them
from rain, cold and snow by rubber
blankets and to provide shelter.
Improper shoeing causes corns and
other serious diseases; your horse
should be shod properly.
High checking is not only pain
full for your horse, but 1t interferes
with his usefulness; he should be
free TO hold his head in a natural p0-
sition.
Overlooking Is costl. and cruel and
has ruined May horses. A rise In
the grade of one in ten doubles the
draft and dry axles do the same. Axle
grease saves feed.
An animal should not be left tied
all day without food drink or shelter
from the hot sun or the storms Of
winter.
Kindness toward lower animals IN
not simply discharging a duty to
mans faithful friends and helpers,
those patient creatures which always
repay love with love and abuse with
service, but it Is exercising and pro-
noting the growth of those qualities
which make man better in all re-
lations of life.

LAWSON CHANTS
OF TRUSTS END
Bostonian Finds Death Sentence For
All MOnopolies I'm Presidents In
terstate Commerce Message.

BOSTON, Jan. 11.-Lauding Pres
ident w. H. Taft's interstate COM
merce message as sure death for the
trusts, Thomas w. lawson came out
here today with a paean in praise.
Under the head What the Presi-
dents Message is to Stockholm" he
said:
Now that the people are aroused
to the deviltry of the system by
which during forty years less than
10000 men have become possessed
of more than three-quarters of all
the wealth of the nation, three things
are essential to the preservation of
the systems structure.
First, railroads must have the
privilege of resorting to long relays
in meeting any action brought against
them for violation of the interstate
law.
Second, railroads must have the
privilege Of increasing rates without
being stopped by law until the final
decision has been delayed to the lin
1t of time.
Final Shove Near.
Third, the courts having decided
the supreme court being on the point
Of giving the final shove to their 60
ing, the MONOPOLY trusts must have
the antitrust laws changed to allow
| good trusts to continue their devil
tries, which means that all trusts
would be good trusts
IF the system cannot be assured
of these three conditions, their struc-
ture must fall.
THE president emphatically says
! the systems privilege of firing out
the protesting wronged ones must
be done away with, and he says with
equal emphasis that there can be nc
legal distinction between good and
bad trusts. And then having thus
dealt monopoly trusts their belly-to-
spine cleaver stroke, he dashes at the
cavity this bucket of brine pickle
tanning:
The only thing feasibIy possible
is federal Incorporation
Nothing that could possibly be
done will so quickly incinerate mo-
nopoly trusts as this bit of political
machinery which President Taft has
invented.
Il can hardly believe that even
President Taft fully takes in the all
powerfulness of this monopoly trust
buster, for he cannot any more than
! did his great predecessor know the
| stock game, and it is the stock game
which runs the monopoly trust game.
Under President Taft's federal in
corporation tax, what will happen?
Monopoly trusts will apply for
federal Incorporation charters and
right here comes the 'nubbin' in the
presidents invention--all the faces
about the applying monopoly trust
Will be known to the public, which
means that this knowledge will be
Immediately followed by stock
crash, for when the facts about mo-
nopoly trusts are known the public
will clearly see the righteousness of
the present inflated prices of monop-
oily trust and stocks and bonds"

From Driver to Millionaire.

CHICAGO, Jan. 11.-From driver
of bakery wagon at $40 a week to
retired Millionaire is the transition of
William Mccoy, who has just turned
over the hotel property. that for rs
years bore his name, to the Victoria
Hotel company.
On his arrival in Chicago from Ire
land about 40 years ago Mr.. Mccoy
obtained employment as a driver. A
few years later he engaged in the
livery business. which gave him his
start on the road to wealth. About
30 years ago he went into the hotel

opinion that il came from the repairs

king.
Alternate Intake at Naclles Bridge.
"On September FL visited the
present intake which is located on
the Naches river near the Rowe hill.
The water In the river was exceed
inRly low, and this necessitated the
construction Of temporary wing
dam and the lowering Of the gravel
covering the perforated pipe SO as to
permit the water to filter through to
the pipe.
II examined the alternate intake at
the Naches bridge at Painted Rocks
and found the city being supplied
with water from this point. but was
informed by Superintendent Arrow
smith that this occurred only at rare
intervals and at such times as it was
necessary to make repairs on the
gravity line.
Fire Protection.
Regarding the Mob Hill power
house it will be necessary to make a
division of the light and water inter-
ests. The accompanying sketch shows
the relationship of the machinery at
this station and it will be necessary
to enter into an agreement with them
whereby they are to furnish the wa
nnUnr pv.xy frv,
ton or other emergencies until such
time as the system is enlarged and
completed with reservoirs.
Il Invite your special attention to
exhibit No. 4, which Is taken from
a paper by Mr.. Paul Hansen, Assoc.
M. Am. Soc. G. E., assistant engineer
Ohio state board of health, and print
ed in the April-June, 1909, quarterly
bulletin of the board. The author
has the following to say about the
table:
Average Cost Per Capita.
THE matter that most interests
the tax payer in connection with the
installation of public water supplies
is cost, and to this end 1 have pre-
pared table giving unit costs for
construction and operation. These
figures are necessarily very general
as they cover a wide range of condi-
tions. They, however, are suggestive
and give an approximate idea Of
expenditure involved.
You will note that for a population
of 10000, and the present system was
undoubtedly never designed for this
population. that the average cost is
$17.05 per capita and the maximum
$32.40. For comparison with my final
figures. estimated that the average
cost OF the present plans might be
an average between the maximum
and the average given below, or
$24.73 per capita. Then for a populn-
ton Of 10000 this would make the
cost $247,300 as compared with my
estimated cost of $266,705 (deprecia-
ton $52.5S5 and $214,17O.)
Revenues From System.
Mr. Arrowsmith, at my request.
furnished me with the revised and
corrected list, there being 1861 me-
tiers in use and 2S5 fiat rate consum-
ers. My estimate Of revenues on the
present water consumption is as fol-
lows:

REPORT SHOWS
THE CONDITION
abuncfl Advised by Engineers Not
- Build New System and En-
tail Competition.

What about the city owning its own
water SYSTEM
Probably there is no question more
di~cused just at present than this one
which will be voted on by the tax
payers January 81. The proposition
IL to purchase the plant of the North
west Light & Water company for
$4,000. In yesterdays Herald the
method by which this price was ar
rived at was canvassed by Mayor
Armbruster.
1t will be recalled that when the
new administration took office year
ago the water question was one of
the first OF those taken up and Pro-
lessor Roberts of Pullman. was
brought here to make report. He
estimated the cost of the present pri-
vately owned system at $4,000. Not
only that but he advised strongly
against the installing of new system
because Of the competition that
would ensue and the certainty of a
consequent loss to the municipal
plant, handicapped by lack of sup
port and funds, and the eventual
necessity of buying the old system for
self protection just to get 1t out of
the way IL for no other reason. The
council sought other authority upon
this point and all reports were to the
same effect. In fact no engineer would
advise a competitive system except
as q last rt.
1t was this superabundance Of au-
thority which led the council to make
the best terms with the present water
company possible and the negotia-
lions were concluded when both sides
agreed upon the compromise Of $780,
900. The appended report Of City
Engineer Doolittle will show the con-
dition Of the plant and his estimate
Of its value:
