rival at the yards, took rare of it
while In the yards and sold it to the
highest bidder, and promptly remit
ted the proceeds. However, the live
stock business grew and expanded,
and in order to keep pace with new
conditions, commission men and live
stock eschanucs were forced to en
large their sphere of operation, and
live slock exchanges through their
officer's and members became more
interested and took a more active
part in shaping outside conditions
which had more or less effect upon
the live stuck Industry, feeling that
any question or policy which affected
the live slock Industry as a whole! it
fected the commission business to a
greater or leas extent.
Questions, such as railroad rates
and service, stock yards service and
tng laws, and other matters of simil
ar nature were taken up and han
dled in a manner that would be for
the best Interest of all those engaged
in the live stock trade. During the
last few years the matter of sanitary j
taws ana quarantine regulations nave ,
come to the front very fast, and at
the present writing It occupies one
of the most Important positions of
any or ttie matters to be aiscussert Dy
the different live stock exchanges.

great benefit to th? live stock com

that the Btate and federal authorities
Haws in a range country are not nec
essary in a farming district. For in
stance, It is a well established fact
that there are very few, if any, cases
of tuberculosis among range cattle,
and very little cholera among the
hogs raised In the west. On the
other hand, there is very little mange
found In the cattle raised in the cen
tral and eastern states, and very lit
tie scab among the t sheep except
where it Is carried, from the range
country. .
Taking all these facts into consid
eration, it would seem that slate
lines should be wiped out entirely in
the matter of -quarantine regulations
ana that local conditions should gov
ern, and we believe the federal au
thorities are in the best position to
Judge as to where and when the
quarantine should be placed. They
Laave me interests oi the whole coun
try and the entire Industry at heart
and not those of any particular class
or locality.
- Ittttallatory .Spirit Harmful
a spirit or retaliation seems to
have crejmtfto the issuing or ouar
antine orders in some or our west-
era states. This is not only harmful
to the states themselves, but does a
great Injustice to the live stock In
dustry and works a particular hard-
snip on the stockmen In the sur
rounding states. If this spirit is al
lowed to grow It means a serious
handicap, .not only to the live stock
feeder, but to the breeder of thor
oughbred live stock, who must de
pend on Interstate sales, to a great
extent, for the profits in bis busi
ness.
There is plenty of work within the
borders or the respective states in
remedying local conditions, to keen
the various sanitary boards and their
employees busy the year round, and
me rewer regulations affecting inter
state shipments that are passed by
the different Btates, the better It Is
for the free movement of live stock!
I'nifonu Shipping jw
Chairman J. H. Bulla, of the Ne
nraslta Live Stock Sanitary Board.
ana a meiuDer or our Live Stock Ex
change, has been a firm advocate of
UNIFORM SHIPPING LAWS for
some time. He introduced a motion
along these lines at a meetlnx of the
Nebraska Sanitary Board about a
year ago. It passed unanimously
and an effort was made to arrange
for a conference of the sanitary of
ficials or the different states to meet
In Omaha last rail to discuss this
matter further, but most of the san
itary officials were too busy at home,
ana tne question was laid over until
the 18th annual meeting of the Unit
ed States Live Stock Sanitary associ
ation, wntcn was held in Chicago.
February lth, 17th and 18th. and
at that time the proposition received
the unanimous approval of this
large association. The movement al
so has had the endorsement of a
large, number of Sanitary Associa
tions and Pure Breeders Associations
throughout the central west, and we
believe, if properly placed before any
live stock qrganizatlon. It would
meet with prompt approval.
Dr. J. I. Gibson. State Veterinarian
of Iowa, and President of the United
States Live Stock Sanitary Associa
tion, la very much in favor of this
move, move, and recently the Iowa
State Sanitary Commission decided
not to quarantine against any state
or county until after the federal au
thorities had first taken such action.
i i
This Is a big step in the right direc
tion, and we believe if more unifor-.i
sanitary laws could be aereed to nv
jtlie different states and put into ef
fect, that It would be a great relief
.to the commission man who does a
Blocker and feeder business, as well
as money saved to the prospective
buyers.
A Multiplied) of Itulen
At the present time, each state
which is supplied with Blockers aiVI
.1 . . . . .
iwiiers irom me Unialia market
(and we presume the same cnmitfinn
exists at all other markets) has any
where from one to four special per
mits which must be tilled out and
sworn to, before live stock for feed
ing purposes can be shipped from
the market into that particular state.
Various states have different require
ments and it takes an expert to keep
track of the various forms and reg
ulations required In doing a feeder
aud stocker business. Most of theje
forms are unnecessary and havo a
tendency to restrict the live Hoc it
business.
Stockmen of the middle west are
very much in favor of a movement nf
this kind and there have been sever
al meetings called at which the sani
tary officials of the different states
have been Invited to attend, with a
view of getting closer together am!
agreeing on sanitary measures which
would be mutually aareeabl in nil
partlen conccriird. . In this way few
er rules would be made and they
could be more readily entered At
the ' nrerfoiii tin, there 1111 mmv
different state and Interstate regula
tions that it is common gossip In live
stock Bhlpplng circles that a good
many rules are made for their ap
pearance and not for their effect.
Such laxity makes the confusing
state regulations appear ridiculous,
and tends to break down all resDecf
for precautionary measures against
aisease.
" Unity at Houtli Omaha
At our own market during the ep
idemic which has recently passed
away, very satisfactory results were
obtained by the co-operation of the
federal and state authorities with the
other live stock interests at the
yards. A committee nf sufetv vaam
organised early In the fight, which
inciunea tne rreBldent and Vice
President or the Live Stock Ex
change, the President of the Traders'
Exchange, the General Manager of
the Union Stock Yards Company, tht
Chairman of the Live Stock Sanitary
Board, the federal Insnnrinr.in.
charge for the Bureau of Animal In
dustry. This committee held meet
ings as often as was required and
any Idea or suggestion that was
brought to their attention by the
federal or slate authorities was dis
cussed by the entire committee, and
if found advisable was put into ef
fect at once. All federal and state
orders were discussed and put Into
effect In the. most practical manner
and In a way that' would afford the
beset protection against infection
and yet afford the least resistance to
the free movement of live stock. So
far we have been successful In keep
ing the state and market free. -
In this connection we might say
that.thls committee had the undivid
ed support of every official of the dlf
ferent companies doing business' In
the yards, and every member or both
exchanges.
We believe (hat ir the various
State Sanitary Boards would get to
gether with the federal authnrlHoa
and agree on UNIFORM SANITARY
RULES, which all could stand on.
that stockmen would get better pro
tection against disease, and the free
movement of live stock would be let:
impaired.
What we need at the present tiniJ
is not more SANITARY RULES, but
more sensible SANITARY RULES,
and when these new rules are drawn
up we believe the conference should
Include ' representatives - from the
Bureau of Animal Industry, from the
various State Sanitary Boards, from
Pure Breeders Aasoclatinna f.iv
Stock Breeders, Live Stock Feeders,
stock Raisers. Range Men. and I.iv
Stock Exchanges. In this way regu
lations, would be drawn , up that
would be strict, complete, and yel
practical. A combination of these
interests would draw a set of rules
that would furnish the best possible
Protection with the louat nnnnlhl
hindrance to the free movement of
live stock, and that Is the aoal to
ward which we are all working.

SIDNEY BOY HOME

msn hiihmnrlne -
Jesse Osborne Is returning home
with his wander lust carefully com
pressed Into a small package and
sealed up. He thinks, according to
j interviews and letters, that he ha
, had enough blood curdling to last '
'several generations. He is the l-
, year-old son of C. J. and Mrs. Os- .
borne. He absorbed a pretty good
education and then the spirit of ad
venture asserted itself and he baa
made several sallies near and fa rl ti
ler. - The last was a hike toward the
eastward, lost to family and friend
for the time. Anxious for a look In
on the war tone to satisfy himself
that the war dispatches were proper
ly censored, he signed for shipping
as a muleteer from the port of New
port News, Virginia, on the vessel
Armenian, laden with mules for the
army. This was torpedoed June 21
and Jesse is quoted as follows:
'.'It was an awful experience. Th
German submarine was about two
miles from us when we first observ
ed her. She sent two shells across
our bows as a command to heave to,
but our captain thought lie could
outspeed her. Then the undersea
boat began shelling us, killing a
number of " the crew and finally
planting a shell In the smokestack,
which cut oft the draft of the fur
naces. Our captain then signaled
that he would surrender, but even af
ter the signal the Germans kept
shelling the life boats which we bad
swung out over the side." -.
Osborne was iu one of the out
swung lifeboats when a shell cut the
tackle and the boat dropped into the
water, halt tilling It with water, and
its side staved In.' This boat "waa
kept afloat during the night by the
men in it stripping off their clothes,
and holding the garments along the'
damaged side. Osborne also said:
' "Several men, wounded by th
shells, died and their bodies wer
put overboard, the captain .merely
muttering a brief prayer. We wer
overloaded and we had to give our
dead to the sea to save those wild
were alive. It was after unrlse the
next day when we were sighted by a
Belgian fishing boat, which took" tlr
survivors aboard. Later we wer
taken on two English torpedo boat
destroyers and were landed at Hav
enmouth, England, and later wer
sent to Bristol."
He is going to be more Interesting
to us home people than a best seller,
that is, until his interest wanes and,
he grows tired of recounting adven
tures. A binder and six horses may
look good to him out on his father's
fine ranch, "Idlewlld", and here's a
