In Fight With Measles

Washington, Nov. 11-An epidemic
of measles on Kodiak and Afegnak
islands, Alaska, today caused Secre-
tary of the Interior Lane to order gov
ernment physicians to the stricken dis.
tricts.
Gov. Strong of Alaska telegraphed
that many of the inhabitants of the
islands were destitute and the situa-
ton was serious. There are 10 cases
of measles in Afegnak village, three
deaths have been reported at Karluk,
and ten deaths at Kagnak.
The cutter Tacoma, at Seattle
Wash, was ordered to sail for Kodiak
island by revenue cutter officials here,
late today. The Tacoma will sail as
soon as she is made ready for the long
trip. Under ordinary circumstances
she would make the run in about a
week. She will have on board physi-
clans of the public health service, who
are now at Seattle.

TRUST GOBBLING THE
WORLD MEAT SUPPLY

BY Congressman Clye H. Tavenner
Washington, Nov. 11.-That the
enactment of the free meat provision
in the Underwood tariff bill comes
just at time when the Beef Trust is
obtaining a world monopoly of meat,
is the news brought from the Argen-
tine Republic by DR.. A. D. Melvin,
chief of the Bureau of Animal Indus
try, who has just returned from a Wis
it to the South American Republic
for the purpose of studying conditions.
DR.. Melvin found that the Ameri-
can beef trust has just about COM
pleted its process of gobbling the Ar
gentine beef industry. It already
controls 60 per cent of the export bus
iness-enough to fix prices, and it is
hardly to be expected that the trust
will cut it's Argentine prices much be-
low it's American prices.
This seems to leave Australia and
South Africa as the only hopes left
to the American consumers. But even
more disquieting news comes from
these countries, especially from Aus
tralia, where the Chicago beef pack
ers have already made their entrance
into the trade. The American trust
is in fair way to control the entire
meat production of the world, leaving
all peoples on earth, so far as this
single necessity is concerned, at it's
mercy.
The absorption Of the beef export
trade from the Argentine is a typical
example of the daring imagination
and grasp of world conditions pos
sessed by the American trust mag
nate. The entrance of the beef trust
into Argentine was probably not due
to any apprehension on the part of the
trust magnates that free trade in
meat was likely to come. 1t was be-
cause, due to dwindling meat supply
in the United States, the trust was
losing its European export trade to
the Argentine packers, and having an
expensive refrigerating and packing
plant in Europe, it was necessary to
keep up its exports or lose the in
vestments in these plants.
AS long as there were free ranges
in the United States the packers here
had plenty of meat for export and

Why Don't We Raise Beef?

New York Times: A meat famine,
especially beef, is threatened and we
are told that, whereas we had about
81 100000 head of beef cattle in 1907,
we now have only about 35,OO0,OOO, a
shortage of 100000, and with an
increased population this means an
increase in prices. But why should
there be shortage of beef cattle I?
There are in the United States about
100000 farms, with total of about
875,OOO,OO0 acres. Suppose the farm
ers raised ten head of cattle to the
farm, and some raise ten times as
many, we would have 7O,OOO,oOO head
as a beef supply, which certainly
should keep the price of meat at fair
figure and still allow the farmers a
very good margin on their livestock
production.
I have asked number of farmers
within fifty miles of New York city
why they did not raise few beef cat
tie for this market, and they say there
is no money in it for them. But the
price of beef was never so high, and
cattle raising paid the farmers when
prices were not as they are now.
What is the matter? Are the non
producing farmers in the beef trust on
the side?

RoOsters as Watch Dogs

Chicago Daily Mail: American SOL
diers in the Philippines have to fight
against the watchful rooster as we'll
as against the belligerent native, for
the rooster has way Of giving warn
ing when an enemy approaches, just
as the geese did in ancient Rome. One
Of the vices of the Moros of Minda-
mao is cochighting. AS a consequence
chickens are everywhere in the island,
and the American troops have often
had to reckon with the vigilant Moro
rooster that has given a timely alarm
not only to hamlet or village, but
to a whole countryside. The fighting
cock is a far-flung feathered senti-
mel of great loyalty.
To surround, surprise and capture
the insurrectos is the aim of many a
nights expedition, especially in the
Mindanao and Jolo districts, where
disturbances are of almost daily oc-
currence. The slightest noise will
arouse the light-sleeping chanticleer
in the trees.
At once he sounds a loud call.
Other roosters in the usual fashion
take up the alarm, and in a few min
utes for miles around the night air
is reverberating with these danger
signals. The insurgent or fanatical
Moro needs no further notification.

Contradictory Testimony
Is Being Brought Out
Regarding Auto Accident

G. H. Wallace and G. B. Kelly, driv-
er and owner of the car from which
w. J. Duggan was thrown and killed
Saturday night when it hit a culvert
on Imperial avenue, are charged with
manslaughter in a warrant issued by
District Attorney Swing.
Coroner F. w. Peterson states that
at the inquest over the body of Dug
gan occupants of the car testified that
the car was travelling at speed of
twelve or fourteen miles an hour at
the time Of the accident, and that the
distance from the mudhole in which
mud was thrown on the windshield to
the scene of the accident was only
sufficient to give the driver time to
lower his windshield so he could see
the road and then to Immediately
raise it again at the request of his
passengers to protect them from the
cold.
Coroner Peterson states that this
testimony is contradictory, as he

King Pensions Hunters Family

(By United Press Associations)
Turin, Nov. 10.-King Victor EN-

$1,000 on the family of Pietro Quaran-
ia, whose accidental death put an end
to the kings recent hunting trip at
Vale Gesso, near here. Quaranta
was assigned to "beating up" game
for the king, when one of the cha
mois he was trying to chase to his
majesty's gun, dislodged huge rock.

found it to be in the neighborhood of
two miles.
Coroner Peterson also states that
he found the distance from the spot
where blood showed where Duggan's
body lay when he fell to the culvert
which caused the shock to the car and
found it to be one hundred and twenty
feet.
Friends of the driver state that as
matter of fact Wallace, the driver of
the car, had not been drinking, al
though the other occupants of the car
had. 1t is also stated that the blood
spot found and supposed to be the
spot where Duggan's body lay was
not such, but the spot where one of
the other victims of the accident lay
down after he had started to walk
home and became weak from loss of
blood.
Attorney J. F. Seymour, jr., has
been retained to defend the men ac-
cused of manslaughter.

could hold the European trade against
the Argentine meat. But the western
ranges are being cut up into small
farms, and the resulting diminishing
supply of beef cattle is strikingly seen
in the figures. We have now in this
country about 36,OOO,OOO beef cattle.
Last year the department experts es-
timated there were 37,OO0,0OO such
cattle. Two years ago there were
39,500,O0O, and when the census was
taken in 1910, the count was 42,OOO,-
700.
On the other hand Argentine now
has 100000 meat cattle, and, be-
cause of the scantiness of population,
before the ranges begin to be cut up
into small farms it is estimated that
the country will be able to produce
annually 2O0,0OO,OOO head of beef cat
! tie. .<
The switch of the European imports
of beef from the United States to the
Argentine, follows closely upon the
foregoing figures. In 1905 this coun-
try sent 414,OOO cattle and 1000
tons of chilled beef to Europe. That
export has fallen off annually, until
it is now a negligible factor in our
foreign trade. But in 1901 Argentine
sent $4,000 quarters of chilled beef
to Europe; in 1905, 100000 qauters;
in 1912, 100000 quarters.
In 1908 the American packers fore
saw the coming of this trade war and
invaded Argentine themselves. Swift
& Co. sought control of LaPlata Cold
Storage Co. The next year the Ma
tional Packing Co., the Armour and
Morris interests, bought another big
Argentine plant. The real invasion
began, however, in 1911, when the
Americans had greatly increased their
investments. With usual trust meth
DDS they conquered their Argentine
competitors in price cutting war
that gave England cheap beef for
while. The war ended in a gentle
mems agreement" to divide the trade.
Since then the Americans have great
ly increased their plants, and now con-
troll 60 per cent of the business.
