ARMOUR'S BIG PLANT STARTS
.slaughtering Begins in the New Packing
House This Morning,
TWELVE HUNDRED MEN EMPLOYED
Full Force VIII Not he Needed nt the
Outset, but viii soon he Mt
'work-Mnnagers Ready
to Open.

The slaughtering OF live stock will COM
mence at the big Armour plant today and it
is expected that between 1000 and 1900
men will be put to work. This number will
be increased as the work of construction pro-
crosses until the full quota Of men, esti.
mated at 1000, are employed. About all
of the men needed TO IN operations
have been hired. but 1t is expected that the
force Will be added to as soon as the re-
ceipts of live stock will warrant 1t. On
account of the scarcity of help here it has
been found necessary to import some Of the
skilled laborers, but after the start is made
all of the men added to the force will be
selected from this locality. Yesterday the
Armours bought hogs, cattle and sheep on
this market. and the hogs were turned over
to the new plant at 5 o'clock last night in
order TO be ready to commence killing at Z
O'Clock this morning. The Strengthening of
cattle VIII not commence until 9 o'clock,
ana possibly not until noon. Armour's staff
of buyers are all on the ground and took
hold yesterday. AL Barlow will act as head
hog buyer, and will be assisted by Nathan
Denny. In the cattle department Joseph
Murphy will be the head buyer, assisted
by Thomas Welsh, while Charles Quinn will
look after the purchases Of sheep.
On account of the opening of this plant
an increase in the government inspection
force has been made necessary. 1t is
thought that ten additional men will be
needed to properly care for the Armour in
%terests. The chief Of the local Bureau of
Animal Industry has promised to have
enough men here to handle all the hogs,
cattle and sheep purchased. An increase in
the microscopical department will also be
made In order to inspect foreign orders for
the Armours.

who has had charge of the construction of
the plant since the start was made last
July, will retain his office in the little build
ing east Of the ham house for the present.
The new plant is to be operated through
out by electricity, the houses being
equipped with all of the latest electrical
machinery. Hot fires were started under
the Sterling boilers yesterday afternoon
and the Frick ice machines, which were
built especially for this plant, were placed
in service. Power is supplied by a num-
Der of Ross compound condensing engines
and the latest electrical appliances are
used for distributing the power throughout
the plant.
Plans arrived yesterday for glue works,
which will be erected as soon as possible,
while the erection of additional freezing
and oleo houses will IN at once.
Grading for the car shops is about com
pleted and work on the stables, which will
be located just east of the power building,
will be commenced in a short time. This
plant has a daily capacity Of 1900 hogs,
1000 cattle and 5000 sheep.
In speaking about the opening General
Superintendent Robert E. Howe said last
evening": Look out for the flag tomor-
row, if it floats from the tall staff on the
hog house you will know we are killing
cattle and hogs"
1t is just a year lacking a few days since
the announcement was given to the pub
lie that Armour would erect an immense
plant here. Shortly after the announce
ment grading operations commenced, but it
was December l before the walls COM
menced to rise. Scarcely two weeks were
lost during the winter by reason of I'M
favorable weather, the work of construc-
ton going right ahead, except on some of
the very coolest days. 1t was expected
that the plant would be ready by June 1,
but various delays occurred, making this
impossible. There will be no ceremony at
the opening: Superintendent Howe will
touch a button in his office and the ma
chinery will start.

For State Auditor.

The newspapers are making quite
stir about changing the state
auditor and have already slated
Hon. 0. M. Barber OF Arlington for
the place. There has been no charge
OF incompetency on the part OF the
present incumbent, Hon. Frank y.
Hale of Luncnburg, and the only
argument that has been raised is
that it is time some one else had the
place. 1t will be recalled that Mr..
Hale has not held this office as long
as the other state officers and it is
hardly fair to him to turn him down
so soon. He does uot consider that
he has life lease Of the position, but
there is no good reason for making a
change in this Office this year to
satisfy somebody else's political am.
bition. The Essex County Herald
has stated our position SO well that
we give below few paragraphs
from their last weeks editorial, all
Of which has our heartiest endorse
ment:
mo one can be blamed for a natural

wish for the position. But as between
the two men and between the candidate
and the state many things are to be con-
sidered. 1t is an Office that exacts a
mans time and attention. 1t is jealous
OF the pursuit Of any other regular
business and the incumbent soon finds
his time, his other business, and even
himself absorbed, and organized for this
work to the exclusion OF other employ
ment, so that it is detriment to him to
be interrupted in this work almost as
soon as he gets accust omed to It.
Besides Tor the interest of the state it is
essential that the auditor have experience
and familiarity with the work. 1t is OF
the utmost Importance that he be
familiar with the rules and decisions OF
the courts, especially those relating to
court expenses, and with the nature and
history OF claims coming before the legis-
lature and the practice relating to them.
"And so while individual preferences
should be treated with respectful and
friendly consideration we think that the
occupants of this position should not be
often changed for personal considerations
or from light or trivial causes arising
from any source. In Justice to any man
who has got accustomed to and fitted
for the work, and laid aside other EN-
Payments, he should at least be con-
tinued Tor the time he would reasonably
| be expected to hold the Office, and time
with reference to which he would natur.
ally lay his plans"

A Closer Union with England.

The Easter banquet at the Man
sion House in London, England, was
the occasion OF several nice speeches
suggesting an Anglo.Saxon union.
All the members of the diplomatic
corps from all the great nations
were present except the Spanish am
bassador who declined at late hour.
Lord Mayor Davies, when propos-
ing the health of the members of the
diplomatic corps, welcomed the
United States Ambassador and ex-
pressed the hope, "in the name of
the citizens of London" that there
would be no war.
Colonel Hays reply was the fea-
ture OF the evening. He was repeat
eddy applauded by the company.
Speaking of the relations between
the United States and Great Britain,
he said:
owe are sometimes accused Of looking
after our own interests with a certain
energy and pertnacity. | might say, in
the spirit OF pride rather than contrition,
that it only shows what stock we are of.
But this truth is incontestable, that for
nearly three generations of men and in
spite OF constant differences, there has
been peace between us and friendly re-
eard-a peace growing more firm and
solid as the years go by and friendship
which, am sure, the vast majority OF
both peoples hope and trust may last
forever The good understanding be-
tween us is based on something deeper
than mere expectancy. All who think
cannot but see there is sanction. like
that OF religion, which binds us in part
nership in the serious work of the world
whether we will or not we are asso
ciated in that work by the very nature
of things, and no man and no group OIL
men can prevent it. We are bound by
ties we did not forge and that we can
not break. We are joint ministers in the
same sacred mission of freedom and
progress, charged with duties we cannot
evade by the imposition of irresistible
hands,"
Colonel Hay, in an impressive per
grafton, which elected outbursts oil
cheering, recalled the sudden illu-
mination through the fog by search
light of the British and American
fl ags flying on the cruiser Brooklyn
during the Jubilee festivities as a
happy augury, and closed his re-
spouse by expressing the hope that
the two flags might ever float united,

Thoughts from Boston Pulpits.

The general theme of the preachers
in Boston last Sunday was "Our
duty in war times" In nearly every
instance the sentiments expressed
were that the Government should be
vigorously supported, the conflict
pressed TO prompt conclusion, and
no wasting of words and strength in
useless regrets over the fact that
war is upon us. The nation has a
right to the loyal support of it's citi-
zens, whether up to this time they
have believed in war or peace. We
have no longer right to discuss the
details of the case. We have only
the right to face the present issue
and do our duty with unanimous
enthusiasm. The men of our nation
stand today for liberty, not striking
to get, but to give.

Arb0r Day Proclamation.

To encourage a respected public GUS
tom, do appoint Friday, the Goth day
of April next, Arbor Day. Let the day
be borne in mind, not forgetting to con-
tribute something to the beautiful of our
state. Many locality already testifes
to the desirability of Arbor Day observ-
ance, which so acceptably engages our
better thoughts and more deeply inter
ests in the study OF nature.
Let then every one in the common
wealth consecrate this day to memory
by planting with conscientious care a
tree or shrub, in some suitable place
which in the course CT time will be more
beautiful Tor its presence. More particu-
larly may colleges and schools give the
day such attention as will render it a
present pleasure and a future value.

the trees, the hills, and the mountains
and let our students employ the day in
beautiiying their natural home.

McKinley's choosing, and if left to
him it is quite possible all our
difficulties would have been settled
by diplomacy, but Spain would not
yield to the demands of the United
States and for the first time in SO
years the United States is in war.
After the revolutionary war there
was peace OF SO years. After the
next war with England there was
SO more years of peace before the
Mexican war. Twelve years of
peace preceded the civil war and 3S
years of peace have followed the VIC
tories of the rebellion. No one
doubts the ultimate result of the
war with Spain, but let US not de-
lude ourselves by thinking that the
war will be short or void of start
ling incidents. The Spanish treasury
may be impoverished and her king a
mere boy, but the men behind the
guns know how to fight and they
are as full of treachery as the Apa-
ches. 1t may take a year and it may
take two years to free Cuba, but the
spirit of the men who freed the slaves
is with their sons who have now
gone forth to war in the battleships
and in the ranks of the soldiers.
Today there is no North and no
South, no party or no creed, but all
are united in supporting the Presi-
dent and the flag of freedom.

Vermont and the War.

In these days OF special excitement,
when the whole country is bracing
itself to meet the exigencies of war
and support the President in his
dealings with Spain, our own state
OF Vermont is wide awake and doing
her full duty.
Under the call Of the President for
troops, the quota of this state would
have been a little more than four
hundred men. Gov. Grout, however,
was anxious that the state should
have as creditable a representation
as possible and so rendered the entire
regiment to the government. This
offer was accepted with the under
standing that the companies should
be recruited to one hundred men each
and this, with the increase of the
battery to one hundred and fifty men
and SIX guns, makes force OF which
Vermont may well be proud, and
upon which she can depend for faith
full service in whatever position they
are placed.
The commander-in.chief has, from
the hour when it becameevdent tina,
war could not be averted, been busil,
at work preparing for such a re
spouse on the part of the Vernon
militia as would keep the state wher,
she has always been when it comes
to patriotic devotion to nationa
interests-at the front. In thes
efforts he has been ably seconded b,

On Friday afternoon Gov. Grout

was placed wholly on the volunteer
basis, and all who were already en-
rolled as members of the militia were
given the opportunity, with others, to
say whether they wanted to enlist in
the service OF the United States. The
response was all that could be desired,
and by Monday nearly all the com
panies had been brought up to the
number required, and it was certain
that the war department would
have from Vermont a full and sub
