BROWN CALLSlT

Declares There Has Been
Nothing Helpful in Gov
eminent Control.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Unless we
can be assured Of mor efficient and
economical governmental control than
was the case with the railroads, tele-
graph and telephone companies,
neither the producer nor consumer
can hope to benefit from such legisla-
tion," Everett G. Brown, president OF
the National Livestock Exchange
composed Of stockyard brokers', told
the senate agriculture committee yes
tarday.. The witness appeared in OPP
position to the Kenyon and Kendrick
bills proposing license regulation OF
the packing industry and transfer of
refrigerator cars and stockyards.
Mr.. Brown took exception to testi-
mony given before the committee by
Federal Trade Commissioner Colver,
and remarked that "in u great in
dustry it has seemed more proper to
speak of the trade commission than
the trade commission"
Livestock" said Mr.. Brown, "s
today the one farm product assured
of a daily cash market. Anything
that would disturb this condition
would be ruinous to the producer"
Refrigerator car development he
classed as "a bright spot in the his
tory Of the packing industry" and
urged caution in legislating upon their
Use.

10 INVESTIGATES SIGNS.

Spokane, Wash. Aug. 27.-Wheth-
er painted symbols on the rock banks
of the Columbia river, in Kltckitat
county, washington, are Indian sym
bols or whether they are the records
of early Teutonic explorers is to be
submitted to experts Of the bureau Of
Indian affairs at Washington, d. c..
for their verdict.
That the pictures are fragments OF
early history Of the tribesmen of the
Pacific northwest is the belief of w.
s.. Lewis Of this city, secretary Of the
Eastern washington Historical So
ciety. He believes they are ESQ years
old.
The theory that they are the writ
ings Of European travellers Of many
hundreds of years ago is held by Oluf
Opsjon, a student of archaeology who
resides at Dishman, near this city.
The same symbols also discovered by
MFR. Opsjon, he says, on a big stone
on the seashore north of Boston,
Mass.
The painted rocks are on the
west side of the Columbia river, two
miles north Of Vantage Ferry. Among
the "%pictures'' are those of two goats
described by Mr.. Opsjon as part Of an
astronomical symbol. He believes
they were intended to indicate the
equinoxes.
