Wilson Asks for the Mi
croscopic Inspection
Of Meats.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Secretary
Wilson tonight stated that discontinue
ance of the microscopic inspection Of
meats sent abroad would mean the entire
suspension of exports and lose the United
States the $40, 600 worth of meats an
nually sent to Germany.
The lack of funds, he explained, was
due to the increased work of the past
wear and the two weeks leave OF absence
granted each employe of the bureau out
side of this city, which necessitated the
employment of additional men, Secretary
Wilson said he has asked Congress to
make part of the appropriation for the
coming year Immediately available, and
that he has no doubt Congress will grant
this authority, as it has done so frequent
ly in previous years.
Il have no doubt" he added; that the
microscopical inspections will proceed,
Notwithstanding the notice given the
packing interests through the Bureau of
Animal Industry"

chapters of the Hope-Yoh domestic dra-

the surmise that the Duke was travelling

he denies.

that 1 am seeking evidence in behalf of
my brother in his divorce proceedings it

of greatest import to both Liberals

den temperance of Lord Rosebery in
the active affairs of the Liberal party.
This action on Lord Rosebery's part is no
doubt the result Of much persuasion ad-

his resumption of party control will have
a powerful effect toward fusion among
the factional ranks of the Liberals. He
is declared 1mperialiSt, and of course
differs from the anti-imperialists. 1t Is
calculated, however, that his known abil-
ity as leader and manager will result
in united vote at the Parliamentary
election four years hence. The result of
the move will be Of decided interest.

Creamery for Dickinson.

Our business men seem to be
thoroughly alive to securing a 6rst-class
creamery for Dickinson. They are talk
ing the matter owe and getting estimates
and should be in a position to take def
mite steps toward incorporation within a
short time.
The first of the week Geo. w. Brown
of Edgeley, N. D., an expert on cream
'erv plants, visited the city and made
some figures which will interest every
person who has the welfare Of the place
at heart. Mr.. Brown said that it required
from $50 to 1900 COWS to make a cream
cry a success. The ordinary COW he said
would pay the farmer $40 per year be-
sides raising a calf, to say nothing of the
skinned milk which would be used for
feeding hogs. The cost of a creamery
plant, with all modern machinery, he
figured at 5000. For people living at
some distance he advised the use of a
separator.
In the opinion of the PRESS the cream.
cry industry should have the attention of
every business man in the city. 1t is an
enterprise that will help not only the
farmer but the business man as we'll.
Take hold of the matter at once and
push it!
