WHY PRICES
ARE Low
Portland Stock Yards Man
Explains Why Hogs Are
Down--Lays it to Lack of
Foreign Market.

The absence of a foreign mark
ct and the large number of un-
employed are given as the reason
for the low price of hogs by G..
M. McAlister, agent for the Port
land Union Stockyards company,
who was an arrival in the city
yesterday on a visit to the central
Idaho country. Mr.. McAlister
has been making the Lewiston
country for several years and has
many friends among the business
men of the cities and towns as
we'll as among the farmers. He
was one of the hard workers for
the Northwest Livestock show
when it was first organized and
has been in attendance at each
succeeding show. He has always
been a very firm friend of the
stock show and stated last even
ing that he has found more in
terest than ever in the sections
he has visited.
There are several reasons for
the low price of hogs but the
principal causes are the absence
o. a foreign market and the large
number of unemployed in the
country. The men are being put
back to work in the middle west
and eastern states and that has
resulted in better prices in those
sections. There cannot be good
markets for any of our products
with the workingmen unemploy
ed. 1t is probably not generally
known that the packing houses
used a third less beef last year
than the year before, which was
rs per cent less than the preced
ing year.
"Then another reason is thai
the farmers are rushing every
animal they have onto the mark
ct. The modern harvesting ma
chinery leaves very little feed ir
the fields and as soon as the grain
is removed the stubble is fillet
with hogs. AS soon as the feet
is exhausted they are rushed t.
market and the yards and pack
ing houses are getting hogs iron
40 pounds to old sows. This is
season of the year when tn
plants are not packing and witt
congestion at all points it is ma
tural that the price on the clas
of stuff received would be force
downward.

Portland Men Are
Eager to See City
Have Proctor Work
INFORMAL MOVE STARTED YES
TERDAY - PORTLAND MEN
TO HELP WITH COIN.

Feeling that A .Phimister Proctor's
latest piece OF sculpture. 1.-The Buck.
aroo,' is an artistic embodiment OF
the spirit of the Roundup, a number
of prominent Portland people are ca
ger to see this city take up a move
to have the figure cast in bronze and
set up on the O.-W. r. & N. lawn, ac-
cording to W L. Thompson, president
of the American National Bank, who
was in Portland yesterday and dis
cussed the matter with these people.
They stand ready to subscribe to any
fund started for this purpose, Mr.
Thompson states.
Mr. Thompson had luncheon with
c. S, Jackson, publisher of the Jour-
nal, ]. G, Edwards. prominent stock
man, Mr., Proctor and other boosters
Of the Roundup and these men made
the suggestion to the sculptor. Cast
in bronze in heroic size, he told them
the piece would cost approximately
10000, for materials and work He
told them, further, that he did not
seek a profit for himself out of such
sale because of his own love for
the Roundup
Mr.. Proctor conceived his Buck
aroo' at the last Roundup, used a
Roundup buckaroo, BILL Ridlngs,
as a model, studied many pictures ta-
ken at the Roundup for their action
and wrought his model in this CITY,
the home of the Roundup. Mr.
Thompson and many others feel
therefore, that the piece of stauary
belongs properly to Pendleton and
that Pendleton should start a move
ment to purchase it. Not only will
Portland boosters of the Roundup
contribute to a general fund but 1t is
thought the o.-W. r, & n. would
gladly assist

The suggestion of heroic bronze

sculptor was almost as much a part

The Portland Journal last evening
carried half tone illustrations Of the
"Buckaroo,' by A. Phimister Proctor

by Rex Lampman Of the Journal

The Pendleton Roundup, action

AUTO TOURISTS PASSING
THROUGA PENOLETON DAILY

As predicted a year ago, the Pan
anna Pacific exposition Is adding ma
terially TO the number OF transient
visitors In Pendleton this summer. 1t
doesn't need the figures of local ga
RACES to prove that there are many
more auto parties passing through the
city this year than last. Anyone who
is on the street at all can testify to
that fact.
The number OF auto tourists Is
steadily increasing as the summer
lengthens. Some estimates have 1t
that an average of is cars a day pass
through Pendleton en- route to San
Francisco. whereas last year there
were only about six strange cars a
day through the city,
Pendleton hotelmen have had their
business increased by this travel out
they expect the month Of August to
bring a bigger increase yet. The train
passing through the city are show
ing greater travel, too, as the sum-
mer grows older.

WASHINGTON, July pa gov
ernment monopoly OF the manufacture
Of munitions is advocated by Congress-
man Clyde Tayenner II Illinois. He
declares that despite the fact quar-
ter OF billion dollars is being spent
annually upon the army and navy the
country is not prepared for war. The
strained relations with Germany and
the chaos among munition workers
would not exist II the government had
a monopoly of munition manufac-
ture," said Tayenner, Primarily the
submarine warfare is intended to pre-
vent shipments OF munitions from
reaching the allies. II the govern

ceived munition contracts for one
hundred and seventy five million, be.

more than munitions could have been
