TEXAS LIVE STOCK.

Dallas, Texas, Oct. SO.-At meeting
Of the executive N)mmittee of the Texas
Live Stock Association, the following
was adopted:
Whereas. largely exaggerated reports
have been put into circulation as to the
Importation of Mexican cattle into
Texas. and
Whereas, said imports are calculated to
depreeiate values in Texas cattle; there
fore. be it
tigation of the matter, this committee
feels justified in making the statement
that the importation of Mexican cattle
along the entire border from October
30 to December 81 of this year will not
exceed 100000 head and consequently will
not, in the least, affect prices or in any
way prove detrimental 10 the cattle in

porter, 'in the rumor that you are
going to refuse to supply natural gas
to consumers who do not take your
electric light?'
THE directors hold out no threat of
this description, although the authori-
ties are with us; but in the event of
the supply getting limited it will be
but natural that our customers should
have the preference. On that point L
may tell you that 1 am now satisfied
that we have got supply of gas for
years to come, and provision has been
made for the manufacture of a cheap
fuel gas to cover any temporary stop
page that may take place. The pub
lie are only beginning to realize the
immense economy to be had by the
use of this gas, and while we are do
ing the public good service by intro
ducing it. we hope for some consider
able advantage to ourselves
rs there any other new feature that
you are going to INTRODUCED"
Yes; no meter deposits will be re-
quired from Well-known citizens, and
all costs of the installation of gas and
electricity will be borne by the COM
pany, on time payments.
Regarding the makeup of our COM
pany, on which subject so much has
been said. it NAV be stated that ct
holders. who are seventy-ffve in num-
Der, and include four large trust COM
panies, who stand combined and de-
termined to meet any attack that may
be made on our position, and they rely
on the good sense of the people of Salt
Lake CITY that they will think and
calculate before they act rashly"
Directors in Consultation.
The boards of directors of the old
electric light company and the Big
Cottonwood Power company held a
consultation last night for the purpose
of settling some of the details of the
arrangement between the two COM
panies. According to the contract the
power company should deliver it's cur
rent on the 1st day of December, OF
before: but it was necessary for an
extension to be made. In view of the
fact that the work on the plant is be-
ing rushed with all the speed possible,
this extension was very readily gran
ted. There were several other matters
on for discussion before the meeting
was adjourned, but nothing of public
interest.
