A Tribute to Weather Conditions
In Western Canada.
During the early portion of Febru
ary , of this year , the middle and
- Western States suffered severely with
the Intense cold and winter's storms.
Trains were delayed , cattle suffered ,
and there wai much general hn.rdshlp.
While this was the case , throughout
Western Canada , now attracting 80
much attention , the weather was per .

One correspondent writes , "We arc
enjoying most beautiful weather , the
gentlemen are going to church without -
out top coats , while the ladies require
no heavier outer clothing than that
afforded by light \ jaclwts. In contrast
with this It Is interesting to read in a
8t Paul paper of 13th February the

COMMISSIONER CARFIELD'S RE-
PORT ON BEEF INDU.TRY
" "
The report of Commissioner Gar-
field on the beef industry has at last
been published. It must bo some-
what of a sUl'prisf2 to those wh " i\\'O
been indulging in wholesale al. . ! rso
'rltlclsm upon the methods of the
Chicago packers ) , us Il discloses ; facts
and figures which clearly show that
the great fool ( producers have been
innocent of the serious offenses with
which they have been chal'lcd. 'rhey
have been for a long time accused by !
newspapers all over the country ot
extortionate prices dl1Janded , and obtained -
tained , of depression of values of cn t-
the at the various stockyards where
their business is conducted , of enormous -
mous profits wholly disproportionate
to the capital employed , and , In general -
erul , of so carrying on their business
that the public , under an organized
system of spoliation , were being
robbed for their I exclusive benefit.
\Vo Hnd now , however , that not a
single one of these charges has been !
sustained but , on time contrary , that
rigid and searching In-.estlgatlon , officially -
ficially made , has resulted in complete -
plete acquittal
Instead 0" ' extortion It Is shown that
no industry : con bo found where so
narrow a margin of profit prevl1l1s-
the actual records and original ! en-
tries , to which the coutnmissloner hud
free access , showing that the high-
est net profit any of the packers
made on their sales of beef was two
and three-tenths per cent In HJ02 and
in one Instance that the profit realized
In 1904 was one and eight-tenths per
con t.
The variations In the marlwt prices
for cattle are exhaustively treated
and no evidence of any l\lnd was dls-
covered , or even hinted at , tending 10
show that values of cattle are In the
slightest degree Improperly affected
or controlled by packers at any of
the chief centers of time industr
On the whole , the report completely
dissipates the prevalent Idea that
great fortunes are being amassed by
illegal and Improper methods em- ,
plo'ed by western packers , showing '
that notwithstanding the high prices
for beef prevailing In 1902 the busi-
ness was less remunerative than ill
years characterized by normal values ,
both for cattle and product. He says i
. .
.that the year 1902 , instead of being
one of exorbitant profits , as has been
commonly supposed , wus less profitable -
able than usual. In fact , during time
months when the prices of beet were
the highest , some , at least , of the
leading packers were losing money
on every head of cattle saughtered. ] ,
It was not possible to advance the
prices of beef in full proportion to time ,
great advance III the prices of cattle i
at that time. "
After all that has been written re-
fleeting upon the great business interest -
terest engaged in the marketing and
distribution of the product of one ot
the greatest of our national Indlls"
tries , It Is gratifying to all fair minded
people that the prejudiced attacks
upon It have failed of verification ;
and the great western packers may bo
congratulated for having passed
through such a searching and thor-
ough official investigation unsmlrched.
The results of this Invest Igatloim ,
based as it Is upon exhaustive data ,
officially : obtained and verified by
United States government experts ,
must be accepted without hesitation ,
as time Investigation was made under
circumstances that guaranteed complete -
plete accuracy with a possible dispo-
sition Indeed , to arrive at entirely ]
different results.
