STOCKMEM FROM
CHICAGO HERE,
Distinguished Party Arrives in Salt
Lake This Morning.
MARTIN ON THE BEEF TRUST
Gen. n1gr. Leonard, Union Stock Yards,
Tells Of the Enormous Daily
Business There.

There Is quite a distinguished party
OF stockmen from the, east at the
Knutsford today. they include Secy.
c. F. Martin of the National Livestock
association Of Denver, General Man
ager A. G.. Leonard Of the Union Stock
Yards In Chicago w. A. Skinner gem
eral solicitor for tho company; Presi-
dent S, r. Flynn OF the Union sto K
Yards National bank, John Clay Rob-
inson and X. b. 0glesby, prominent
general commission merchants and G.
X. Davidson Of New York. The party
are In a private car and are travelling
through the great western states to
make the acquaintance Of stock grow
ers, post themselves on far western
conditions in their particular line, and
cultivate friendly relations with west
ern cattle interests. In short the Chi
cago Union Stock Yards people have
been noticing with more or less anxious
eyes the increasing drift OF western
cattle towards Kansas City and Oma-
ha while Chicago has been gradually
becomeing OF less Importance in the
minds Of the plainsmen Sd, the Chicago
Stock Yards people Thought that the
time of holding state livestock conven-
lions In a number OF the far western
states would be good opportunity TO
take a run out into this neck OF the
woods TO repair their fences.
II is interesting to note In this con-
nection that one great obstacle TO ship
ments to Chicago from the west has
been the terminal charges at the east
end, which the stockmen have always
considered as simply iniquitous, and In
persisting in making these charges, the
railroads have done Chicago livestock
interests immense damage by driving
traffic to competing centers. However,
the dispatches state that the roads
have finally concluded to do away with
these oppressive charges, so that one
great obstacle for live stock traffic with
Chicago has been removed,
All OF the party express themselves
as highly gratlfed with the experiences
attending their trip, and speak Of the
prevailing conditions as very satisfac
tory. General Manager Leonard I'm
referring this noon to the gseat increase
In the live stock trailie. said that last |
years receipts at the Chicago yards
amounted 10 $4,000 Ger Ia - i've |
stock Of all Kinds and the heecipts this
year W to date amounted TO 5000 car |
loads in excess Of those for the same
time last year. Mr.. Leonard had a |
telegram just received from Chicago, |
stating that the receipts for this day |
alone would be 22,5OO head Of cattle, A.
600 hogs, and 5000 sheep. He believed
that the years business would be UNI
precedented,

mingling Of the physical, political and

In arithmetic, the tendency, Il Is
thought, win be to discard books with

aged the strikers to no small degree.
They assert their ability 10 hold out
