THE TINES congratulates the city on
the outcome of yesterdays election. 1t
believes also that by the time the build
ing is completed the approval of the site
selected will be far more general than
many are willing to admit at the present
time. The advantages of the site
selected do not need to be again re-
hearsed. The only thing now remain
ing is for the council to purchase the
site at once so that the deeds may be
turned over to the treasury department
with as little delay as possible. 1t is to
be hoped that the remaining part of the
business may be attended to with the
same promptness that the council has
observedin the part already done. Now

TIE FARMERS AND THE MEAT
TRUsT.-The Farmers Grain associa-
ton of Kansas, Which has been in sue
cessful operation for a year, now pro-
poses to begin operations against the
beef trust. James Butler, secretary
and organizer of the association, has
issued a statement to the 10000 men,
beers of the association and the public,
in which he outlined a plan TO defeat
the trust. A part of the statement is
as follows (:
."The farmers and business men of
Kansas are in better shape to solve
the beef trust problem than those of
any other State. This ls a State which
produces an enormous quantity of
meat, and we have demonstrated our
ability to compete with the beef trust.
The Farmers Gram association can
greatly assist in the work. Our plan
is on the cooperative order, and pro-
vides for the organization of companies
in every county of the State.
"The companies will include the far
mers who bring In the stock to market
and the men who consume the meat.
We propose to have cooperative ice
plants, cold storage and packing houses
erected at central points. The animals
can be slaughtered there and the meat
which isn't sold on the local market
Can be cured and shipped to some
larger packing centre. This will save
the two freights which the consumers
now pay. They are obliged TO pay the
freight to the packing house and the
freight back on the cured product
This plan has been discussed by some
of the leading men II various lines q
business in the State and they declare
it will win"

FOUNDRY CHURCH PLANS.

Some progress has been made in select
ing a plan for the edifice which the con-
gregation of the Foundry NJ. E. Church
proposes to erect at the southwest corner Of

Biscoe, Boston, James H. Warner, Appleton

There was one plan which the quarterly
conference thought contained features
which lead them to prefer it to the others,
and this was the plan which was submitted
by Mr.. Appleton P. Clark. jr. However,
there was some doubt rs to whether the
building as designed could be built within
the sum of money at the disposal of the
: church authorities, and there were also
some changes desired, and SO the plans of
Mr. Clark have been returned to him, and
If in their revised form they suit the build
ing committee and the quarterly confer
ence the new edifce will be constructed in
accordance with them.
The church has building fund of about
S1T5 1000, and it Is proposed to erect build
ing containing audit itorlum capable of
seating abou- 1,G00 persons, with room at

AGREES WITH FUNSTON.
Major Mann Deplores the Abolition
Of the Canteen.

Major w. A. Mann of the 14th Infantry.
stationed at Fort Porter, n. Y, agrees
with General Funston that the abolition
of the canteen was detriment to the
military service. In recent report on the
subject he says:
When we had the canteen the men were
at liberty to get glass Of beer when they
wanted 1t, but were always under the su-
pervision of the officers, whose duty 1t was
to see that none had too much. Now the
men go outside of the post and at the near
est saloon buy bad whisky and, under such
conditions, go from bad to worse. In con-
nection with the post canteen there was an
amusement hall which generally entertained
the men, and they were satified not to go
to the places of amusement which are ap.
to attract them now. Only beer was pro-
vided for them in the canteen, and always
the best, The matter Is now out of The
hands of the officers and the police See The
consequence"
