DRIVING CLUBS PROPOSITION.
Wants the Use of Fair Grounds Track
for Keeping 1t I'm Condition.

Wants the Use of Fair Grounds Track
for Keeping 1t I'm Condition.
There was a meeting last night Of the
State Board OF Agriculture and the Indian
apolis Driving Club. The purpose OF the
meeting was to see IL some new arrange
ments cannot be made for the use of the
State fair grounds track for race meet
ings. The Driving Club has contract with
the board whereby a rent is paid for the
track. The club has to keep the track in
first-class condition, which costs the club
5000 a year. 1t also cost the club some
thing like s., 500 to complete the track for
the first meeting. 1t is generally known
that the club has not flourished financially,
although Indianapolis has been given a Won
derful name as a race center. Since its Or
ganization the club has lost about s., 500.
The wish is to form a new contract where
by the club can have the use of the track
in return for keeping it in condition.
The claims and wishes of the Driving Club
were stated to the board and there was
considerable discussion. No action was TAX
en- by the board, but the promise was CIV
sidered Should not the board make "a more
advantageous offer the club will continue
under the terms of the old contract this
year and give the anticipated race meet
ings. Should the board continue to expect
rental for the use of the track and should
the coming year prove profitable TO the
club new track and grounds may be built
for the next season. which shall be devoted
exclusively to races.

MORE CHOLERA TALK.
Swine Breeders Take Up the Subject
and Advocate Measures.

The Indiana Swine Breeders Association
held it's nineteenth annual convention at
the State Board OF Agriculture room last
night. James Riley. of Thorntown. presi-
dent of the association. read an address on
the subject of 1.-The Swine Plague or Hog
Cholera" He spoke of the outbreak of the
disease and said: I'm many places farmers
are slow to believe 1t the swine plague A
few die and then the farmer waits for de-
velopments. In a few days more others
take sick. BY this time the whole herd is
thoroughly inoculated. The farmer rushes
off to the dealer and sells all he can. Some
of them are driven over the highways and
the disease is scattered. They are shipped
to market and sold to packers to be manu-
featured into various hog products to be
sold to innocent, unconscious consumers
This is the cause Of low prices this winter
1t is not overproduction, as il Is known that
il the hogs had been fattened and then put
the market as demanded there would
have been no complaint OF overproduction
Consumers are afraid to eat pork, and
United Stc<es and the careless methods
of farCers and, Notwithstanding all
produces have to pass rigid examination,
they refuse TO buy. think 1t weakens COM
petition and curtails export demands The
breeders of improved swine should take the
lead. backed by the farmers, in organized
1t can be done, but ii will take heroic eff
forts. Methods for this purpose should be
discussed at every swine meeting and farm
ers' club in the country. We should also
cali in the assistance OF the State veteri-
marian and work i'm harmony with him in
establishing familiar sanitary methods so
as to breed out disease. Then the organ
lied breeders associations should ask the
legislatures OF each State and this govern
ment for suitable laws along these lines
with view of preventing the spread of the
disease. The farmers should breed and put
on the market healthy hog and just the
kind of a hog the market demands If we
can succeed in doing this we would never
hear the cry OF overproduction. We would
enjoy a monopoly of this industry, as no
country in the world can produce as fine
hog products as the corn belt of the United
States
A number of papers on subjects OF inter-
est to swine breeders were read and dis
cussed, among them being those read by j.
NJ. Clawson, of Springport: Ira C.. Hodgen,
Westfeld: Adam +. May, Flatrock and E.
w. Hill, Winchester. y number OF interest
ing questions were propounded. but there
seemed TO be a tendency TO controversy.
and as a rule the delegates departed with
opinions unchanged. A good deal of lively
banter marked the proceedings. The presi-
dent was kept busy rapping for order and
some times could scarcely make his gavel
heard above the laughter.

Board OF Works Asked to Permit ViO-

John F. Wallick, superintendent of the
Western Union Telegraph Company. was in
conference with the Board of Public Works
yesterday afternoon regarding the new or
dinance requiring telephone and telegraph
wires to be put under ground. The ordi-
nance contains a "mile-limit'' clause, and 1t
was about this that Mr.. Wallick came to
talk. He asked the board If it would be
possible for the Western Union company to
run their wires overhead along the Big Four
railroad through Missouri street. He argued
that in that section of the city the dwell
think that overhead wires along the track
would interfere with the work of firemen
when called to that section. The board in
formed Mr.. Wallick that 1t had no author
ity to grant a request OF this character. The
ordinance, the board said, was created by
the Council, and its limitation was clearly
defined.
