CARLSBAD, June u.-P. D. Armour. of
Chicago, who is here with his invalid wife.
said today that he had Just received a
long dispatch from Chicago stating that
ground had been broken at Tolleston,

that they proposed to establish packing
houses there. They will not be so
cramped for room as at the old wards.
which, he says, are altogether out of
place in such close proximity to the best
part of Chicago. They propose to issue
$40, 900, COO in shares of stock, which they
will divide among the packers and dealers
who follow them. The Associated Press
correspondent asked if other packers will
follow and desert the old yards. Mr..
Armour replied:
"They cannot help themselves We three fAr.
mour, Morris and Swift practically control the
business. The others must follow Besides il
is to their own advantage. The old yards charge
so high that it scarcely pays to do business there
We shall give accommodations at more moderate
prices. You see the old yards, which originally
cost about 100000, were sold several months
ago to an English syndicate for 81, 100000. The
investors want to get interest on this immense
sum, and consequently high charges are neces.
sary."
''But what will become of these millions when
your own and all the other great houses move
away?"
Il am not worrying about those English invest
ors. feel sorry for them, but l must look out
for my own interests and the interests of the
community first
Mr.. Armour said that there are also SAN
itary reasons why the change should be
made. In their new quarters they will
have almost perfect arrangements for the
proper examination and packing of pork.
and he thinks as soon as Germany is con-

ments of the W. G. T. L.

Ours is not buffalo climate. Four
survivors of that humpbacked race were
brought to Golden Gate park, and three
of them died during the effort to become
acclimated. No man ever heard of buf-
falo near the sea. Neither in Hakluyt's S
voyages nor in any other conn ilation OF
the log books of discoverers and navi-
gators is there any mention of buffalo
on a salt coast. These animals were
found in the interior only, on the great
plains, high and dry, and when they are
changed to such coast climate as ours
they die, in protest against turning Il
public park into a COW yard. One of
the four survives, in lonely occupation
of a field not intended for his race. 1t is
probable that his hide will join those of
his companions on the park fence before
the trade winds cease to blow.-San

A sub-Treasury Girls Find.

An ancient Greek coin, valued at about
forty dollars, was found in a lot of fifty
cent pieces that arrived at the sub-treas-
ury recently. The handsome young lady
who found the rarity was allowed to
keep it by substituting fifty cent piece
out of her own pocket. This is perfectly
legitimate, as Uncle Sam has no time
and no desire to make a collection of
rare coins. All he wants is strict ac-
counting of every penny that is handled
by the sub-treasury and this he has al
ways got. The coin handlers under Cap
tain Walters come across many II rare
coin which dishonest persons attempt to
deceive the sub-treasury into accepting.
These rare coins are never turned back
to the persons who sent them, but are
the legitimate prey Of the one who de-
tects the profitable fraud.-Philadelphia
