Mr.. Waddell until they collided with

A Hog Conspiracy.

Goodlng Leader: A year ago ON
farmers were receiving 81 to So 70
'helr hogs. The supply this year /,
not materially heavier than last yea,
and the products is even better thar
d year ago. The export demand is
enormous. There has been no sub
Santlal reduction in the prices nj
bacon and hams and yet. in the faca
on tnese conditions, the price OF
hogs is down to $4.75, and the nre-
diction Is made that it will go still
lower.
There is little room to doubt that
the greed OF the big packers is re-
Sponsible for these astonishing con,
ditions. Four packing concerns at
Chicago absolutely dominate the hog
market of the United States. The
price to be paid for hogs depends en-.
.lrely upon the number of millions
hey decide upon as their years pro
1t. For temporary periods fair prics
ire paid, to stimulate production, onl
o be followed by a period of low
'rices and enormous profits to the
aekers. Meanwhile the packers
t about the same level, whether hog
re high or low, and these prices
laintadn the price of pork products
ways represent a substantial profit,
0 matter what they pay foor hogs.
At present prices the Idaho farmer
ses money ON every hog sold. The
oft to which he is entitled is grab.
"a by the packers, and all this La
me in direct violation of the anti
ust law. 1t Is a criminal conspiracy
by is the law not enforced? The
partment of justice will act when
farmers, through their various
demand action, and
obably no sooner.

They're going up and they're
coming down-these Northwest
stars.
Going up is Henry Peterson,
star Tiger twirler. He's going to
Salt Lake in the Coast league.
The sale was made yesterday. The
sale price is not known, but it
probably was enough to keep the
Tigers from the rocks for few
days.
Going up also to the Coast
league in the next few days,
probably, will be Noyes and Muir
ply of Spokane. Portland Coast
team wants 'em, and, as Portland
has Spokane under obligations, 1t
will likely get them.
And coming down are Charlie
Schmutz, former Tiger pitching
star, who also has had trials with
the National and international
leagues; Alvin Gipe, for two years

Alexander. HAILED As BEST
PITCHER, SAYS JOHNSON is

Grover Alexander of the Phila-
delphia Nationals, has been her
aided this season as the greatest
pitcher in baseball, but Grover
says the title belongs to Walter
Johnson of the washington
Americans.
When Alec was asked to name
the best pitcher in the game he
said Walter Johnson" without a
moments hesitation. Others who
have given their opinion have
named Alec in preference to the
great Washington chucker
The test for a pitcher comes
when his club is having a bad
season." said Alexander. John
son was a winner in the years
when the Washington club spent
most of its time down around last
place. zoos
THE big fellow has been in the
American league eight years and
has always won big share of his
games. Ssiss's (-Es enough to
show that his real big seasons
were not flashes. Johnson's got
as much speed as any pitcher ever
had and he's got control and ev-
erything else to go with 1t.
ITO go back and take In the
pitchers of all time, think Matty
was the best. He won a big per-
centage of his games for Is years
or more. That's wonderful
record.

old days have been called grsai

Giants; and Menges, pretty
good outfielder who had a job
with Victoria this year. All three
are canned by Salt Lake to make
way for Brenton, a White Sox
infielder.
Haworth, Victoria catcher
early this year, and Harstad, a
Tacoma boy who led the North
west league pitchers last year,
played with Cleveland yester-
day while it was getting twice
walloped by the hustling Detroit
Tigers. In the first game, Ha-
worth got a hit in twice at bat;
but failed to connect in two times
up the second game. In the first
game Harstad warioped two hits
and gave two walks in two in
nings; in the second game he was
hit thrice and gave one free base
in the same length of time.
There are softer jobs than
pitching to Cobb, Crawford and
Veach.
