ROOSEVELT IS
IN CONFERENCE
Plans for New Party Are
Internally Discussed.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, June 26.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt has arranged to meet
with some Of his active supporters to-
day In the movement for a third party.
Mr. Roosevelt says he never felt bet
ter and that he is ready to go to work
at once on the new movement. To-
days conference will be an informal
talk 1t is declared.
There will, however, be a halt. the
colonel says, in his activities until the
Democratic convention concludes its
labors. All preliminary conferences
of the organization committee will be
postponed until that time. Meanwhile
1t Is probable that the committee will
be considerably enlarged, and the
Roosevelt people make no secret of the
fact that they are saving places therein
for progressives who may become dis
gruntled at Baltimore.
About the end of next week we
Will have u preliminary conference"
said the colonel. Exactly when l can-
not say"
In hearing the latest news from the
Baltimore convention the organizer of
the new party was nightly interested.
Good said he when he learned Of
the stiff fight Bryan was putting up
against the conservative wing of the
party. Things there look just about
as they did with us In Chicago. The
progressive Democrats must have a
leader"
Like His Own Experience.
The colonel feels that his example
ut the Republican convention will not
be lost upon his Democratic brethren.
He believes that, as in Chicago, he was
the only man who would and could"
SO In Baltimore the same need for a
patriot is felt. The closeness of the
vote in the fight for temporary chair
man drew from him mother com
parison with his own experience. Ask
ed what he thought Of Murphy's stand
In this matter he shook his head.
Under no circumstances will Muir
ply stand for Bryan. of that one thing
you may be certain" he said.
OF the organization committee, some
of whose names were published, he
had this explanation to make: That
these men compose only a preliminary
committee cannot be emphasized too
strongly. 1t is In no sense a national x
ecuHye committee, and 1t is not our
purpose to force it upon a convention
as such. No man mentioned thereon
Is bound TO act on the committee which
the convention itself will name. This
Is merely a committee to take up the
tentative work of organization"

trim was strong In the colonel as he
looked over the worn out company
who returned with him.

ridiculed the reports that he was used
up and nervous over the outcome.
Even in Chicago he had not been the
least so, he said.

went on to explain. Indeed | was the

MORE SANTA FE FREIGHT CARS
Road Orders $500 to Aid in Relieving
Congestion in West.

Orders have been placed in the east
by the Santa Fe for $500 new freight
cars to relieve the congestion of traf-
fic on its western lines.
For the last week a car famine has
existed on the lines of the Santa Fe.
Alfalfa mills in Colorado have been
forced to close down because of a lack
of cars in which to ship meal to the
eastern markets. Hundreds of laborers
have been thrown out Of employment
and farmers in Prowers and other east
ern counties have been greatly incon-
venienced.
The shortage Of cars is attributed to
the heavy demand that Kansas farmers
have made for cars to take their grain
east.

MEAT-SHALL WE EAT IT?

Robert Burns 'offered this bless
ing" "Some have meat but Gamma
eat, and some would eat, but want it
(are without it). But we have meat
and we can eat, so let the Lord be
thank ed"
The state of Washington and the
Pacific Northwest can hardly offer up
this blessing. We are almost without
meat animals. The Department OF
Agriculture Yearbook for 1911 gives
the total number of mich COWS and
other cattle as nearly SO million head,

or decrease of more than IA million
in about four years. Of this So mil
lion, Washington has but 391 600 head,
or little less than seven tenths OF
one per cent of the number in the
United States. OF these 391, 600 head
owned in Washington 2O5, 900 are
mich COWS and only 1876, 600 designat-
ed as other cattle, or one-half of one
per cent of these designated as other
cattle in the United States. Wash
ington, on January LIST, 1912, was
5000 "other cattle" short of January
1st, 1911. But the United States is
nearly 20 million head of cattle short
of the number owned in 1890 While
there are nearly forty million more
people in the United States to eat
this lesser number.
The stock men who assume to
understand the situation are serious
ly asking if the present highest price
beef ever was known to reach, will
ever 60 down. The. conditions war
rant them in believing that an up
ward tendency IS more surely to be
expected. Uncle Sam sets 20, 600 new
breakfast plates every morning for
his foreign emigrant who comes to
share the blessings of our provident
land. These quickly acquire the meat
eating habit Is it not high time that
Washington and the whole Pacific
Northwest should forget about fruit
culture and raise enough meat to feed
her own citizens? Surely the food to
produce these beef cattle can more
protitably be produced than fruit
trees for caterpillars and green aphis
to eat up.
The situation in pork production is
even worse. than the beef condition.

most conveniently performed by
arranging a chute through which the

Nebraska claims to make more than
