Hog Market Is Quiet.

There is a quiet tone IN the swine
trade at North Portland. The total
offerings in the yards today were SO
head. These averaged 162 pounds and
went at 81.
There Is no change in the general
situation for hogs in the local mar
ket. Offerings recently have been ex-
tremely limited, but there is only a
nominal demand. All of the big kill
ers of the Pacific northwest are get
ting their hogs from the Missouri riv-
er territory and therefore are indif-
ferent to the small showing from the
local field. These are taken care of
by smaller killers and therefore the
price is merely a question of what
comes forward on a certain date.
At Chicago the hog market was
steady with no change in prices.

The highest point of woman s hap
piness is reached only through moth
erhood, in the clasping of her child
within her arms. Yet the mother-to-
be is often fearful of natures ordeal
and shrinks from the suffering Incl
dent to its consummation. But for
natures ills and discomforts nature
provides remedies, and in Mothers
Friend is to be found a medicine of
great value to every expectant mother.
1t is an oily emulsion for external
application, composed Of ingredients
which act with beneficial and sooth-
ing effect on those portions of the
system involved. 1t is intended to
prepare the system for the crisis, and
thus relieve, in great part, the suffer
ing through which the mother usually
passes. The regular use OF Mothers
Friend will repay any mother In the
comfort it affords before, and the help
full restoration to health and strength
it brings about after baby comes.

That sheep owners of the Pacific

more money this winter by shipping
their sheep to the Chicago and Oma-

LAMBS FIFTY CENTS

SHEEP GENERALLY
CONTINUE STEADY
WOOL Market at Portland Continues TO
Show Strcngth-No Change in the
Hog Situation-CattIe Values Inac-
tive.

While this morning 1t was believed
that the lamb market was only 15c
l"g"ad it developed that the lot sold
at $685. was one of the best that has
entered the yards recently and this
class of stuff usually brings nearly soc
above all other lamb offerings. This
would place the market not higher
than $6. The shipment of today's
select lot was made by p. A. Kline of
Corvallis.
The sheep market in general held
steady with practically no changes in
price during the morning. Outside
OF the lamb trade. sheep prices held
generally around the range of the
past week; this being generally ex-
pected.
AS a rule buyers are Inclined to be-
lieve that the price of sheep is at the
bottom or within a traction Of 1t, al
though all ideas point to a further
loss in the price of lambs.
Had 1t not been for the few lambs
that have come forward to North
Portland during the recent weeks, 1t Is
not likely that the market would to-
day be showing its present height. The
price was held intact owing to the
| better demand than offerings.
( At Chicago the sheep and lamb
trade was steady with no change in

DIsFIGURED WITH ECZEMA

"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back Of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his lit.
tie face was disigured very much.
We hardly knew what he looked like.
The face looked like raw meat. We
tied little bags Of cloth over his
hands to prevent him from scratching.
He was very restless at night, his
little face itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read Of the Cuticura Remedies, and at
once bought the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the re-
suit, and after four weeks the dear

Forced to Recapitulate After
Struggle Of Twenty Years.
Since Death Of Jay Gould IN 1892
Control Of His Many Valuable
Properties Gradually Wrested
From FamiIy-Story Of Mar.

New York.-An important chapter
In the railroad and financial history
of the country came to a close at the
recent annual meeting Of the share
holders of the Missouri Pacific rail-
road held at st. Louis, when George
J.. Gould presented his resignation as
president of that road, and new men
were elected to succeed the repre-.
s~entatives of the Gould interests on
the board of directors.
Thus will end a twenty years war,
which has been waged relentlessly
by the financial giants of Wall street
for control of the Gould properties;
thus will George Gould's dream OF
controlling a coast-to-coast railroad
be rudely dispelled.
Since the death of old Jay Gould
in 1892, the control of his many val
liable properties has gradually been
wrested from the family. First the
Manhattan Elevated line was gobbled
up by the Interborough; then the
Western Union Telegraph Co. was
absorbed by the A. T. & T. Co.; and
now the Missouri Pacific, the holding
company for the Gould railroad prop
critics and considered one of the most
valuable of all the Gould holdings,
will pass into other hands.
But these changes were not effected
without struggle, the history Of which
makes interesting reading.
At every turn George Gould has met
his enemies with a courage born of
desperation, but the odds were too
great and he has at last been forced
to recapitulate.
This does not mean, however, that
the Gould fortune has dwindled in
size; on the contrary it has greatly

marlborough Ia 1902.
BY this time George Gould had con
verted the Missouri Pacific into a val
liable property. a control OF the ma
jority Of the stock Of the Wabash car
ried it as far east as Buffalo, and the
purchase of the Denver & Rio Grande
brought it west to Ogden. Utah.
1t was now time to procure a
terminus at the Atlantic seaboard.
His first step was to gain an en-
trance intb Pittsburg, which he did
by securing control OF the Wheeling
& Lake Erie. He then began work
on his Misunderstanding Terminal.
The next step was to secure con-
troll of the Western Maryland, which
ran from Baltimore inland, and the
West Virginia and Central Pitsburg,
which ran east from the Smoky City.
Between these two roads there was a
slight gap. which Mr.. Gould proposed
to bridge by building a new road.
With this exception the only link
necessary to complete the chain of
roads from coast to coast was that
from Salt Lake City to the coast. and
to complete this Mr.. Gould started to
build the Western Pacific.
But his troubles had already be-
gun. The other railroad interests,
recognizing the value of the Gould
properties and the serious competi.
ton they would offer, had already be-
gun a war TO GUST George Gould as
the head Of thu system. AS early as
1902 the young flnancier had a sewers
struggle with e. H. Hartman and Ed
mund Hawley for the control of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company, but
succeeded in worsting his opponents.
The Pennsylvania bitterly opposed
his entrance into Pittsburg. and so
bitter did this fight become that after
the erection Of the Wabash Pitts
burg Terminal. the Pennsylvania or
dered the Western Union Telegraph
Co., which the Goulds control. to take
down their lines east of Pittsburg
alone the route OF that road.
In 1905 Mr.. Gould had a serious dis
agreement with Joseph w Ramsay

to sacrifices and did not accept one
cent salary from his work ~ presi-
dent Of the road. About this time It
was discovered that Kuhn, Loeb &
Co., who were agents for tho HART
man road. had underwritten some
$50, 000. 900 of the Missouri Pacific
bonds.
1t was In 1909 that another OF the
Gould properties passed out Of the
control OF that family. This was oc-
casioned when the American Tele-
graph & Telephone Co. took over the
Western Union.
An inkling as to the railroad situa-
ton was given during last summe
when the Pearson Farquhar Syndi-
cate, which had been organized for
the purpose of gaining control OF the
transcontinental road, went to smash.
Among the many securities which
they held were large blocks Of Mis-
souri, Pacific and Wabash. These Sc
curities were taken of their hands by
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. With such a large
interest In the Gould roads 1t became
very evident that this banking house
would desire a voice In the control of
the affairs of SO valuable a property
as the Missouri Pacific. George
Gould's methods of railroad manage
ment had been discredited for many
years and when the demand was
made a few weeks ago for the list of
stockholders 1t became known at
once that the fight to GUST George
Gould was on.
Gould. however, realized the weak
ness Of b 1sition and agreed to
present his resignation at the an
nual meeting Of the stockholders.

increased. 1t simply marks the disap
pearance of the Gould fortune as a
power in the financial world.
The story of this war had its be-
ginning in the early eighties. when
old Jay Gould was the most power
full, as well as the most feared mar
in Wall Street. His particular hobby
was the securing Of control of various
railroad properties, which he would
proceed to wreck and then dispose of.
He had great faith in the possibilities
of the West and Southwest. and many
a Wall street financier looked OF his
properties in that section with a
covetous eye. But they knew better
than to attempt to monkey with the
wizard of American finance"
When the old gentleman died in
1892, however, the long-delayed fight
for the valuable Gould property imme-
diately began. His will divided his
vast fortune among his children, but
provided that all his stock holdings
should be voted at the various meet
ings as a unit, and gave George J.
Gould, his eldest son, the power to
control such votes. At this time
George Gould was only rs years of
age, but ten years under his fathers
careful tuition had developed his bust
ness and fighting ability to a great
extent. He had inherited a craze
for acquiring railroad properties and
his great ambition was to gain con-
troll Of a road which would stretch
from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
The most valuable piece of railroad
property in the Gould estate was the
Missouri Pacific, which stretches from
Kansas City to Denver, and by Sc
curing control of the Denver G Rio
Grande, George Gould extended his
line into Salt Lake City.
In the meantime, In order to carry
out his plans in the West and South
west, Gould was forced to sacrifice
his holdings in the Manhattan Eleyat-
