\ FORTUNATE TOWN.

The report that Armour X Co. have
by locating a beef packing plant at a
small tow in Indiana. so insured the
future of the town. that it will within a
year add one hundred thousand to its
population. is exciting considerable
interest throughout the west. and many
a small but ambitious locality is Won
dering if it is not possible to get some
one of the dressed beef men to look ia
vorably on their locality. The antici-
mated benefits SO far as increase of popu-
= iation is concerned is no doubt largely
exaggerated. but there is no question
that the establishment of such a plant
must largely benefit any community.
large or small. What must be even a
matter of wonder tn the people living in
the range country. when they here of
such a plant being installed away down
east" is that the idea of Strengthening
fresh from the range. never seems to
strike the men who are engaged in this
business. while 10 us who live in the
country such a plan would seem to
possess every advantage. 1t is true that
the scheme has had a trial here at Miles
City and meet with a disastrous failure,
but we all know. that the failure was
inevitable. if not by reason of careless
manager ent. certainly by reason of the
powerful opposition of the Armours.
Cudahy and Swifts. who have decreed
that in business. they will permit no
rivalry But with the perfected system
of conducting the business that these
men have. and the immunity from com
petition il seems that a slaughtering
plant located 10y them at Miles City for
instance. would give them far better re-
suits than the new enterprise in In
diana. 1t needs no argument to prove
that the beef taken right off of grass
and killed here. would be infinitely sup
erior to the same stock killed in Indiana
after a three or four days iolting and
bruising in the cars. They could be
bought here on a basis of the Chicago
market less freight and it ought not to
cost any more to ship dead meat to east
ern nsume than the live article.
1t is probably useless for any own or
city in the range country to attempt to
induce a movement of this kind on the
part of the dressed beef men. as the in
ducements that might be offered woulj
be too insignificant for such multi-mil-
lionaries TO look at. but il seems reason
able to believe that the time must come
when the fallacy Of shipping prime live
beef fifteen hundred miles to a slaugh-
ter house. must be exposed when such
shipment not only shrinks the animal
off from ten to fifteen per cent. but is
sadly deteriorated by bruising. But
the dressed beef men probably under
stand their own business and we can
only suggest.

STEEL WORKS SPARKS.

All is busy about the works this week
The breaks have been few and the de-
lays short; consequently an immense
amount Of work is being done.
E. c. Patter, consulting engineer from
Chicago is out on tour of inspection.
Supt. Robinson and keeper
Croker OF the blast furnaces have the
best office about the works. 1t is a
convenient place and is fitted up
properly. 1t is heated with steam and
will soon be supplied with hot and cold
water.
A large sump or reservoir is being
constructed directly south OF the old
one. A force OF men and teams is now
at work on the excavation and will be
ready for the stone and brick masons
next week.
Tracks are being laid from the mair
one to each Of the three blast furnace,
to carry off Stag. This will be goot
improvement. Another track is also
being laid alongside the cast house.
Coke will hereafter be unloaded direct
from the cars into the buggies. Thil
will stop the brealSage and it is calcu
lated will save the company $1O0 pc

THE Colorado Coal and Iron and
Development company and the Colo
rado Fuel and Iron company on
Thursday filed petition with the
county court asking for the discon-
nection of the steel works and the
Lake Minnequa property from the
city of Bessemer. This is IN accord
ance with an act passed by the state
Legislature of 1891, providing that
whenever the owners ot an unplatted
tract of land of not less than thirty
acres lying on the border and within
the limits Of city, shall petition for
dissolution from the city, then the
county court shall not sooner than
thirty days determine upon the merits
of such petition and issue the decree.
The loss of the steel works would
come little hard on the taxpayers,
and doubtless there will be opposi-
ton to losing this source of revenue.
The steel works folks argue that as
they furnish their own police force
and fire department and ask the city
for nothing, they do not feel like pay
ing city taxes. However, it is not
pleasant to contemplate the with
drawal af the works even though
they would still be part of the city
for all practical advantages aside
from the payment of taxes. The
fear of consolidation with Pueblo has
probably caused this step 10 be
taken.

leave for Chicago early next week and
will spend a couple of weeks at the Fair.
The rail mill is now on an order of "a
lb. rails for the Milwaukee & ST. Paul
railroad. This seems TO be invading the
territory of the eastern mills.
Supt. Grow expresses himself as being
all right, the men arc all right and the
converter is all right. All right.
Chief Auditing Shenck and Assistant
Ritter are taking general inventory of
the works.
A large derrick for handling inGots is
being built near the rail mill
The keeley Institute will commence
the erection of "A 35X3i brick building
outside the works next week. 1t will
be close by the viaduct and built on II
plan most convenient for the treatment
of patients, the room now occupied being
too small and not suited for such work,
The institute has eight patients in
charge and graduated four others.
No. blast furnace is once more at
work. No. will be blown in in ABOUT IA
month. No. 3 is booming on We'd
nesday it turned out 100 tons which
was good work.
Orders for pig iron are coming in fast
and the mills now supply all Colorado
and new Mexico points. The pig iron
trade is bound to be big one.
Ore roaster No. was blown in Tues
day and is giving satisfaction.
Tho grounds about the office are be-
ing laid out into lawn, and sown to
grass at once Trees will be planted
and flower beds arranged. Gravel
walks will be laid out around and
through the lawn. A fountain is to be
made at the artesan well and the whole
place generally improved. 1t will not
be long before the steel works will have
u beautiful park.

County Clerk Henderson and his
deputies are preparing list of names
frcm the registry of all those who
failed to vote at the last election.
The name and residence of each
voter will be published and the de
linquent voter given an opportunity
to explain why he did not attend the
polls; if his reasons are not suf-
ficient his name shall be stricken
Off the registration lists. This Is
done principally to purge the records
of the names of men who have
moved away. Bessemer has about
400 dead names on the list.

WHY not have public park? The
people demand it and the financial
condition of .he city warrants it
Lake Alnncquu is all right on oc-
casions but il is too far out to suit all
general purposes. What the city
needs Is park within the heart
of the residence portion where it is
accessible and where it can be utiliz-
ed. If the city council would make
itself popular it would provide for
the purchase of block of ground,
fence 1t, plow it, SOW it to grass and
set out trees at once. The city can
well afford to bond ITSELF for the
small amount required. Suppose
the bonds would run ten or fifteen
years, the present would only pay
the interest and the future would pay
the principal when 1t would be en-
joying the luxuries of the invest
ment. 1t would be credit to the
city and add materially to it's ap-
pearance. By all means let the
council push the project.

THE BANQu ET.
The Owls Came Forth.

\ number of the senior members
of the Bessemer fire department
gave a rousing banquet at the city
hall last Saturday night to which
they invited II number of their
friends, and the trough necks" and
the dudes" mingled in the social
festivities of the occasion. The
three score who were presen. enter
ed into the happy spirit of the
banquet and did their best to carry
out the injunction to ''eat, drink and
be merry.' The eloquent Judge
Darnell was made chairman and
had before him programme con-
sisting principally of II number OF
toasts to which those called upon
were expected to give eXtcmpor-
aneou5 responses.

Bessemer; George Jackson paid his
respects to the fire Department.; Conn

on the desk as clincher- The oc-

conditions were now the same only
that both men were on the same

Judge Darnell gave really inter-
esting talk on the past, present and
future of the owl club, and told in
pathetic language OF its departed
glory. The joyous recollectious of
the past when the laborer and the
works bumped glasses in supreme
happiness, made the present hard to
bear, and all that remains for the
future of the jovial rollickings of the
