HOG RAISING PAYS.

The Prairie ranch, located a few
asIles southeast Of Fossil, Wheeler
Gsulnty, shipped carload Of hogs
Es the Portland Union Stockyards a
Sew days ago and they topped the
anarket, selling for 9 one-half cents
ser pound. There were 79 head in
ias car, their combined weight was
"a trifie more than 10000 pounds, OF
an average Of 250 pounds. The
.eIMek given in payment, after de-
~5sIcting freight. feed and commission
charges, was for $1S33.32. That
shows a net price Of S23.0S per ami
smaI.
Mention was made in these col
unns a short time ago Of a former
shipment Of hogs from this ranch,
atnd it was then stated that a car
ad would be sent to the Portland
market about every two weeks dur
Iug tie balance Of the year, there
Eeing about 2300 head feeding on
filis and other ranches owned by the
same company.
The hogs just shipped had eaten,
all told, about IL bushels of grain
each and about 25Opounds ofground
alfalfa. Aside from this, they had
been fed nothing, but had, Of course,
keen pastured on alfalfa, stubble and
grass. The>grain fed them as pigs
and hogs would be worth today at
the ranch where it was fed not to
exceed 81 per animal; the alfalfa
meal perhaps 81. 80 per animal. 1t
cost to haul them to market, we will
..ay. about $40. That makes a total
asost of $3.50, to which must be
added the cost Of producing the
pigs. Two dollars and a half each
Eould be a fair figure for this. In
fact, if any breeder with ample ia
es5iities for keeping a large number
s7f brood sows could sell his day-old
Digs at that figure he would never
cary them along even to shoat days.
We find the 70 head of hogs cost
=5n real cash outlay $500, which does
zlot include the intermediate ex-
ruenses of labor and ranch expenses,
including taxes, interest, etc. 1t is
impossible to figure such costs, but
zlle surplus shown by the above fig
ares, S1S33 32, is surely ample to
sFive a large profit. Suppose the
company keeps up its semi-monthly
shipments during the balance Of the
scar and each carload does as well.
That would make ten carloads and a
1roiit of S8333 20. As there are
zl0w more than 2O00 head Of hogs on
be ranches Of the company, the
shipments will probably continue the
sear round.
Compare these figures with the
srain business. Suppose in place
II feeding their $1,000 to 10000
bushels of grain to hogs they hauled
81 to Condor, the nearest railroad
point. Or suppose the road were
siiready built to Fossil and they
hauled the grain there, say an aver

At the present time a farmer
in the Molalla district, about 20
miles from Oregon City, is har-
vesting a crop probably not grown
by any other rancher in the Will
lamette valley teasels. His pres
ent crop consists Of about 70
acres and during the harvest sea-
son he will employ about 40 hands
at $3.50 to SO a day. The teasel
is burr for which the manufac-

for which no inventor has ever
been able to invent a mechanical
substitute.

The fertility Of the soil will
not last forever; it must be re-en-

MADER0S RE1|cENT
AS TO PLANS
THE FAMILY APPARENTLY HAS
NO PLANS TO coMsAT DIAz-
-HuERTA REGIME.

New York, March 7.-If the imme-
I Madero, the deposed president of
Mexico, who IA slain a faw weeks
ago, have any intention Of resisting
the Diaz-Huerta regime now in power,
it did not appear from the statements
or demeanor of his father, his uncle
and two officials under the former
Madero administration, who arrived
today from Havana.
Those in the party were Francisco
Madero, ST., Ernesto Madero, the dead
mans uncle, who was his minister of
finance; Rafael Hernandez, who was
a cousin Of the ex-president, and held
the office of secretary Of the interior,
and FREDERICK Gonzales Cara, who
was governor of the Federal district
of Mexico City. Accompanying
Ernesto Madero were his wife and
family, but the widow of the late
president remained in Havana. She
was detained by the death Of a rela-
tive, it is understood, but intends
eventually to come to the United
States. -
Evaristo Madero, another brother of
the former president, who has been a
student at Cornell university and had
been awaiting the coming of his father
and the others, joined them at quar-
antine.
The Maderos expressed delight when
informed nat two more of the broth
ers, Raoul and Emilio, had reached
Texas after a 6O0-mile ride through
northern Mexico, but neither they.
Hernandez, nor Cara would admit
that there was to be any gathering or
conference of the survivors If the fafn-
lily at a Antonio or elsewhere.
On the contrary, Francisco Madero,
ST., and Hernandez said all the party
would remain here indefinitely. It is
thought that they have business in
~terests which will require their atten-
ton. They were quite reticent about
the overthrow of President Madero.
and beyond commenting on it's sad
character, would say little.
When Francisco Madero, Sr,, was
asked by a newspaper man as to re-
ports that Ambassador Wilson at
Mexico City used his influence against
President Madero at the time of the
uprising, he simply nodded his head,
as if in affirmation, but would say
nothing,
Ex-Governor Cara, who was with
President Madero and Vice President
Suarez when they were arrested and
was confined in the national palace
with them for 30 hours, said the presi-
dent stipulated with General Huerta
that he would resign the presidency if
those under arrest with him ware lib
Grated, and that Huerta permitted him
y(Garza) to go free simply to deceive
Madero. Subsequently, Cara said,
Huerta again sought to arrest him, but
he managed to escape to Vera Cruz.

MONETARY MARKET
IS STRAINED
ENGAGEMENTS OF FOREIGN
GOLD ARE LARGE AND WILL
BE SOME LARGER.

New York, March 7.-Engagements
of about S., 900, 600 gold for export, eX-
pressed in concrete terms today the
bearing of strained monetary condi-
tons abroad upon the market. The
first engagement of gold for Germany
since the spring of 1908 was announced.
h bulk of the gold, however, goes to
France and Argentina.
Berlin was again bidding 6k per
cent in this market today for 60 and
90 day loans in advance of April set
Elements. Indications Were that the
expectation of gold which has amount
ed to nearly $685. 900, 900 this year, will
be carried further, this country having
least protected the supply of the
metal.
The outlook for easy money rates
was not favorable although the call
money rate here is still the lowest of
any of the worlds great financial
centers.

dueed to a slender margin and fore

$4,0 600, 600. The disturbing Influence
Of monetary conditions abroad was
felt in this market as we'll as on the
European exchanges, The list of
stocks which declined from one to
two points embraced most of the i'm
portant issues, Selling was not heavy,
but traders were inclined to take the
shor side of the market n no eff
fective support was given.
For the first time since last August,
a decrease in stocks Of copper metal
was reported, the February figures
showing a s~hrinkage of nearly 800, 900
pounds. The decrease was small and
was regarded as making better condi-
tons in the copper industry, especial
significance being attached to the gain
of 12,000,0 900 pounds in exports.
Standard OIL stocks declined on the
curb, being affected by much the same
kind of rumor as were circulated yes
terday regarding American Tobacco
and the attitude of the new attorney
general. Losses ran up to 100 points
in one case.
Bonds were heavy with further de-
clines in recent flotations. Total sales,
par value, 81, 7S5, 900.
United States bonds were unchanged

Simpson was asked to state the net
profits of the Field business, but he
declined to answer.
The same question was put the other
employers. It's purpose was to Learn
whether the salaries OF girls earning s.
and IS could not be doubled without
materially affecting profits.
Simpson detailed the welfare work
of his firm, speaking of the rest rooms,
vacations, a compulsory school main
tanned in the store, where those who
have no advantages in childhood are
forced to acquire the rudiments of an
education; of salaries paid during
sickness and the like.
Scarlet Women Testify.
The last witnesses of the day, the
women of the tenderloin, talked in

able to make a living at reputable

"E. P. B." worked in a st. Louis

the underworld, and had been there
for five years. Like the others, she
placed her earnings now at about $25

her parents seemed dissatisfied with
her contribution to the general fund,
and she found another way.

industry as a whole is working at a
high pressure. Copper has improved
a little owing to foreign demand.
Winter wheat conditions are favor
able and southern operations are for
ward for the new planting season with
prospects favoring an increased cot
ton acreage.
The railways are busy with miscel-
laneous shipments. Money is firmer.
Demand is active and banks are close
ly loaned up. Stock market operations
are characterized by dizziness and more
or less heaviness, the chief factor be-
ing the unsettled condition of Euro
pean money markets.
Business failures for the week end
ing March s were 259, which compares
with 2S7 in the like week of 1912.

WAGES PAID WOMEN

Mandel expressed the opinion that
IS Is a living wage for "a girl de-
pendent upo herself alone.
Juul asked him to show how this
should be spent to provide the neces-
stiles of life. After Mandel had
enumerated 81 for clothes, % cents for
laundry, 81 for board and room, so
cents for sickness, 70 cents for lunches,
60 cents for a far and 10 cents for
collection box in church, JUL declared
that these items included only about
half the girls expenses. Mandel in
sisted, however, that the committee
men did not regard the fact that most
employees live at home M are not en-
tlrely dependent on themselves.
Mr.. Simpson presented figures which
show that the Marshall Field retail
stores employ 1922 females whose
wage is $10.76. OF these 440
are short-hour employees who work

regular clerks are at lunch. All live at

smile.
The president took his usual auto
mobile ride with Mrs. Wilson at 4
o'clock.
Gossip among White House callers
today centered largely on the more
important diplomatic appointments
which the president is expected to fill
within a short time. 1t is understood
Great Britain is the first the presi-
lent will take up with MI. Bryan, and
since the secretary expects to visit
Lincoln for a few days about the mid
die of this month, this nomination is
expected daily.
There are only a few names sug-
gested for foreign posts. Joseph f.
Davies of Wisconsin, who was in
charge of the western headquarters of
the democratic national committee,
was said to have been offered the en-
bassy at Rome and it was said he had
refused it. William Corcoran Eustis
Of Washington was referred to as a
possible selection for the German
ambassadorship. Mr.. Eustis was in
charge of the Inauguration ceremonies.
I Colonel Thomas Birch, formerly aide
to Mr.. Wilson as governor of New
New Jersey, was said to be in line for
the post of minister to Belgium. 7.
w. Gregory of Austin, Tex, likewise
was reported to be slated for the am
bassadorship to Mexico. Representa-
tive A. Mitchell Palmer of Pennsyl-
vania is urging George w. Guthrie,
democratic state chairman of Penn
s%ylvania, for an important diplomatic
post.
Three Appointments.
Announcement of three important
appointments was made today. Charles
T, Neill, who was commissioner of the
bureau of labor statistics, which will
take the place Of the old labor bureau
in accordance with the act creating
the new department of labor. Mr.. Neill
was renominated as commissioner of
labor by President Taft several months
ago, but failed of confirmation, and
under the law has beer out of office
since February 1.
Daniel G. Roper of North Carolina
was nominated to be first assistant
postmaster general. Mr.. Roper has
been clerk to the house ways n
means committee and is known as an
expert on the tariff. +
James |. Blakeslce, secretary of the
Pennsylvania state democratic co1n-
mittec, will be made third assistant
postmaster general.
