It Is evident that we have not enough
good horaea fur our own work, rlnce we
tind the farmers of Illinois and Iowa, as
well aa other horse-producing elates, In
the sain rings buying Inferior animals with
which to do their work. It furnishes a lie
son that should Impress itself upon the
minds of every breeuer and snow mm the
fully of disposing of his goinl brood mures
because the prices offered for them wore
too tempting to refuse. The best hftrsei
from the ranges are already gone; Ihu
result of ton years' breeding hus been
used up In the great demand for horses
which we have recently experienced.
During the last decade we have ex
ported over 435.0UU head, valued at $i2,92,
b., and reports show that almost 50 per
cent of them went to the countries pro
ducing the best draft and coach horses.
It Is evident that we must continue to
supply Mexico and other countries sim
ilarly situated 'with their beet horses, from
the very fsrt that tholr geographical loca
tion preclude the nosHlbllliy of producing
their own and from the further fact that
no other country can compete with us in
the production of good horses.
The horse surest to pay a handsome
profit to the 'ordinary farmer and breeder
Is the best type of the heavy draft Tiorse
and the large, high-acting coach horse.
Breed your horses with the same care
and Judgment that you have bred your
cattle and'your victories will be equally as
brilliant as It) your cattle contests.
Winter Feeding; on Range.
- Mr, C.'E. Wantlnnd spoke on "Winter
Feeding on .the Range." Ha said In part:
Union conditions Improve materially, the
next census will show a decrease In the
number of cattle and sheep west of the
Missouri riytr. No great imDrovement can
nd the publlo lands are put under con-
troL
The packers are not entirely to blame
for the low price of live stock.. The de
struction of the ranges and the high price
of hay and the Inability of cattle and
sheepmen to borrow money when they need
it the worst are to be considered. Great
.advantages to Hie feeding Industry have
been seouied from the Vnlted States L'epart
ment of Agriculture and agricultural col
leges and trom the extension of beet sugar
and alfalfa districts, and stock can, now,
be fattened for market without uslng curn.
Klockiiieu have not done what they
should to.ptish scientific agricultural opera
tions or to secure from state legislatures
the necessary action In favor of measures
for the benefit of the live stock Industry.
Stockmen shoulif asxlst the government
commission In preparing a plan to put the
ranges in shape to support more stock for
summer' and winter operation. Continued
over.graslng results In the destruction of
grasses. Htorkmen have not made the nec-
essary effort to xupply hay by opening l
new Irrigation districts. State leglnlatur
sy opening up
urea
should make apuroorlatlona to secure In-
f'lrmatlon to guide I nele Bam In regulating
forest reserve district. end stockmen
should co-operate with t'nele Bam Instead
of trying to dextroy forestry regulation.
They ahould have something to say about
the location of national Irrigation works,
In order that preference may be given to
districts where hay is needed for winter
feeding.
If stockmen will unite upon big things
nd stop cutting each others' throats over
.mall things, winter feeding can be brought
out of the woods of uncertainty and put

Independent Packers Needed.
The Hon; Cc E. Adams of Nebraska spoke
of "The, Need of Independent Packing
Houses." He said In part:
The great live stock Interests of America
mUHt 'not be harnessed and delivered at the
door of the Meat trust. The profits must
be equally distributed between the pro
iucer and tho packer, and the profits must
be reasonable tnough that the great third
.arty, the consumer, can enjoy the bene-
is.
If the way Is not open through the reg
ular course of business It becomes necessary
for the producer to take the means which
seem to be the only remedy In his hand,
'and build independent packing houses, to
be operated on an economical nnd con
servative basis, such as will give to the
producer a fsir profit and to the consumer
a product which he can afford to enjoy.
The Independent Institution would simply
act as a governor upon the market, the
whole country would oenefit by It and the
live stock Industry would thrive again.
The ruin already wrought by the present
system calls for Independent action for
your own protection, as It calls upon the
lawmakers to place restrictive measures
upon all combinations, the management of
which Is Inimical to the best Interests of
the country. Independence Is the greatest
privilege of the American people and while
this right Is not abused It can harm no one.
The address of Colonel Adams wa fol
lowed by the Introduction of a resolution
favoring the establishment In stock cen
ters of Independent packing' plants by
stockmen, . The, resolution, also pledged the
support of the Live Stock association to
Jrthesa packing plant. The prevailing opln
Ion of the convention appeared lo be that
the live stock dealers should get together
In an organisation) raise the fund neces
sary, provide competent men to manage,
then build packing plants. The proposed
plan ia to form a corporation In which
the stockmen may secure stock and run
the business to the Interest of the stock
men. The proposed capital stock Is $5,000,-
000. Of this amount $250,000 In subccrlp-
tlons has been promised should the scheme
be accomplished. WJieo the resolution on
this subject waa put to a vote It was
adopted unanimously.

It must be assumed, or course, in ine
adoption of such a policy that those
charged with the duty of adminis

In every Instance In perfect good faith,
and will see that the rights and interests
of the Indians are fully preserved and en

Commissioner Jones holds that the In
dians In the Rosebud country should re
ceive no less than $1,040,000 for the lands
which they will relinquish, and In order
that this sum may be realized It Is thought
possible congress may allow the Indians
$'.'.75 per acre for the land. This latter is
the price offered them last summer and
agreed, to by a majority of the tribe.

surprise at Toklo, Recording to the dis
patch, and It Is now said that Japan never
asked for the evacuation of Manchuria,
but on the contrary frankly recognise
Russia special Interests there and her
right to protect them. Japan only demanded
the realization of Russia's promise re
specting Chinese territory In Manchuria,
and the free residential rights and Inter

War Material for Japan.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 13. The steamer
Coptic, which sails for the Orient on Fri
dny, will carry a quantity of munition of
war .consigned to both the Japanese and
Russian armies. Stowed in the hold of the
vessel are about J0 tons of mess beef,
which Is part of an order of about 2.0(H) tons
that was given to a local firm about two
weeks ago apd all of which Is to be at this
port ready for ehlpment by tho end of the
present month. Besides the beef are sev
eral hundred tons of pig lead and about
2,000 tons of flour that Is to go to the supply
depots of the Japanese army. The beef,
according to the plan of shipment a now
arranged, Is to be transferred to a Rus
sian steamer at Nagasaki that will carry
It to A'ladlvostock.
Believe War Vnaroldable.
PEKING, Jan. 13 The forecast of Rus
sia's position regarding Manchuria cabled
by the Berlin correspondent of the Asso- J
elated Press, January 11, coincides with the I
Information received by the foreign lega
tions here and aln strengthens the Im
pression that war iiT unavoidable. At the
Japanese legation no effort Is made to con
ceal the belief that war Is expected. Tho
crux of 'the situation Is still Russia's re
fusal to admit the right of Japan to a
voice In the settlement of Manchurlan af
fairs, which Japan, consider one of It
most vital Interest and to sustain which
the Japanese government Is determined to
resort to arms If necessary. The mainte
nance of Chinese neutrality woulS banish
the spectre of a Russian occupation of Pe
king, which Is greatly alarming the Chi
nese and Is causing some uneasiness at the
legations, since. In anticipation of the event
of Russia's approach the court would leave
Poking and the capital would be removed
to the Interior.

Everett Buckingham, at present superin
tendent of transportation of the Union Pa
cific. Is now regarded as almost certain of

ther notice except that of hi resignation
last week.
Tuesday President Burt received a tele
gram from, Mr. Harrlman In New York
asking In effect this:
"Is Buckingham the man for general
managerT"
President Burt reply by wire Is said to
have been In tho affirmative and very
highly commendatory of Mr. Bucklnghnm,
who has been close to the president since
the former's ascension from superintendent
of car service to that of transportation. It
Is believed that Mr. vHarrlman will look
no further for a general manager, but will
act on fhe advice of President Burt. As
President Burt's resignation does not take
effect until 'Friday, no official announce
ment of the appointment of Mr. Bucking
ham Is expected until then.
Vice President Cornish said yesterday that
he could not state who the new general
manager would be nor whetl the appoint
ment would be announced.
"The matter Is whnllv undecided as -et.
so far aa I know," said Mr. Cornish.
Bancroft Is Here.
,W. H. Bancroft, vice president and gen
eral manager of the Oregon Short Line,
arrived in Omaha yesterday afternoon at
6:90 In his private car over the Union Pa
cific from Salt Lake City.
Asked if It were true he wn to assume
the management of the Union Pacific, Mr.
Bancroft replied:
"I have not heard that I will." He also
stated that he did not know who would
be placed In the position made vacant by
the retirement of Mr. Burt as general
manager and that his trip to thl city was
for the purpose of visiting Vice President
Cornish of the Union Pacific.
Mr. Bancroft could not state Just how
long he would remain In Omaha, but
thought he would leave In a day or two.
A to which way he would go he said he
had not made up his mind.

Bondholder of United State Ship,
bnlldlnar Company Are Not
Satisfied with Plea.
NEWARK, N. J., Jan. 13.-Three motion
growing out of the proceedings to have a
permanent receiver appointed for the
United States Shipbuilding company were
to have been argued before United State
District Judge Kirkpatrlck today, but the
whole matter was put over until next Mon
day without a decision on any of the points,
W. D. Guthrie,' counsel for Charles M.
Schwab, 'admltled formally in court that
the company waa hopelessly bankrupt, but
the counsel for the bondholders argued that
the question of fraud waa Involved and
therefore that the confession of bank
ruptcy could not terminate the litigation.

tion was organised tonight In the lobby of
the house of representatives. About forty
members of the senate and the house be
came member. Representative Hnrtholdt
of Missouri was made chairman and Rep
resentative Rodenberg of Illinois temporsry
secretary. A committee to draft a suitable
platform was organised and Mr. Bnrtholdt
was Instructed to Introduce a resolution In

to hold Its twelfth annual session In St.
Louis next September.
Several speeches were made indorsing the
movement. The session wa called to or
di r at 8:30 by Representative Bartholdt,
who was elected chairman. The United
States, he said, was tho only nation not
having a group of parliamentarian affili
ated with the Interparliamentary union for
International arbitration. This union, he
said, had decided to hold Its twelfth annual
conference at St.. Louts 'during the first
week In September next. It was, he said,
not only fitting, but necessary thata group
of parliamentarian, consisting of senator
and members of the house of representa
tives be organised and to have a resolution
extending an Invitation to the union and
making an appropriation of $50,000 to defray
the expenses, agreed to by congress. The
first business, he said, was to organise a
"group."
On motion of Representative Shafroth of
Colorado the meeting resolved to organise
a "group." Representative Brousaard, who
was said to be an accomplished French
scholar, wa elected permanent secretary.
As Mr. Broussard was notpreaent Represen
tative Rodenberg of Illinois was made tem
porary secretary. Dr. Bartholdt presented
a concurrent resolution for adoption by the
"group" to be Introdnced In congress. The
resolution extended the Invitation to the
International union to meet In this country
and made , the necessary appropriation.
. Thomoa Barclay of London, England,
formerly a member of the English Parlia
ment, was heard briefly. Ho explained
that the British House of Commons hnrt
formed a "committee" lnstend of n "group"
anfl suggested the possibility of sounding
the American congress and the British
Parliament on the prc-Ject Of a Joint session
of the parliamentary "group" Just organ
ised here nnd the "committee" of Great
Britain to establish even more cordial re
lations between the two countries. Dr.
Bartholdt mnde the statement that Presi
dent Roosevelt was In hearty favor of the
organization of the group.
Representative Hltt of Illinois, chalrmnn
of the committee on foreign affairs, pre
dicted that the movement for peace would
find enthusiastic favor with the people of
this country. Ho believed, he said, that
the house would agree to Dr. Bartholdt's
resolution when It had been explained. It
meant relief from tho great burden of
taxation for supporting armies.
Representative Burton of Ohio Indorsed
the object of the meeting. The whole world
was coming to the broad Idea that the In
terest of one nation was( the combined In
terest of all.
Representative Hepburn of Iowa indorsed
the movement. He stated that fully one-
half bf the federal taxation had been ex
pended for war. Over 400,000 of the youth
of the United State had died In a single
war. This war cost In treasure $8,000,000,000
and alnce that time $3,500,000,000 had been
paid In pensions. Thl generation, he said,
might be expected to Indorse a peace move
ment most heartily.
It was decided not to adopt the exact
language of the Bartholdt resolution, but
to indorse its purpose and ' authorize him
to introduce it in the house.
Representative Baker of New York of
fered a resolution looking to the disarma
ment of armies and navies of the world.

tee of five to be appointed later. Thecom
mlttee will draft a platform and obtain
