CHIEF TELLS OF HIS LABORS

p Z. Salmon OF Washington, D. c.
chief Of the United States bureau Of ami
NAL industry, is at the Knatsford. Be
fore coming TO Salt Lake he spent several
days IN Colorado examining the work Of
the bureau officers and employees in that
state. He viii remain here two days
longer and viii then go TO Montana. and
from there 10 the Dakotss on his return
trip to the national capital.
I am looking over our chat is the
bureau 3 work in the western states. III
this Stato we are mainly endeavoring to
eradicate scab in sheep and mango IN
cattle. and are. meeting with satisfactory
results IN getting rid Of the sheep scab.
We have taken IN the work of doing
away with mango in cattle in Titan this
year. and this work is as yet hardly sys-
tematized II IS always difficult IN
starting a work of the. magnitude Of this
in a new territory to get it systematizes1
A good deal of time and labor must be
expended in getting It working smoothly
Work in Fighting Scab.
we are inspecting the sheep that are
being shipped out OF the state and where
we find the sheep that are offered for
shipment are affected with scab or have
been exposed to the disease we require
them 10 be dipped In that way the
! owners OF sheep are induced to do every
thing possible to rid their flOcks OF the
disease. Our object Is TO eradicate the
disease on the ranges. and in a few years
I 10 get rid of the sCab in all parts OF the

We aim to do the same with cattle by

The bureau has an office IN Salt Lake
that has been running several years This
city IS the bureaus headquarters for this
section Of the country. and when sheep
are to be shipped to market our office
here is notified and inspectors are sent
to inspect them If the sheep arc foun !
free Of scab and haven't been exposed to
il. a certificate is issued. on which they
! may DC shipped to market. But If the
inspectors find the sheep diseased or
that they have been exposed, they must
bs. dipped before shipment The state
board Of sheep commissioners is CO
operating with the bureau Of animal in
dustry.
Sees a Great Improvement.
I find shat there has been a great
Improvement in the condition of sheep
throughout the west since last year. on
account Of the active measures taken by
the department TO stamp out the scab. L
expect this Improvement to continue IN
Ill there viii not be a scabby sheep in
the west. it will. of course. take few
years TO accomplish this result

when the trouble with the Union Pa

on there was talk of a. sympathetic

Hartman took representatives of the
unions from that city back with him
to New York in order that they might

Mechanics of the Southern

ELIMINATION OF
OLD CONTROVERSY
Five Hundred Boiler Makers
Are Out and Machinists,
Firemen and Other Work
men May Soon Join Them

The boilermakers on the entire Pa
cihc system of the Southern Pacific
Company went on strike yesterday aft
ernoon as a result of the long standing
controversy regarding general advance
in rates all along the line. Just what
will be the extent Of the strike, its du-
ration or resultant effects is at present
problematicaI. Interested parties on
both sides speak very guardedly, but
if the rumors afioat have foundation
in fact the service Of the company will
unquestionably be seriously crippled
should the strike last long.
According to the statements of the
railroad officials 500 men quite work at
$3.50 yesterday afternoon. This on the
surface looks like a mere bagatelle, but
it NAV reach much deeper. The men
are well organized and the employees
will undoubtedly follow the example
set by the leaders. So far as the boiler
makers in this city are concerned it
will have very little effect as the local
repair shops do not employ many men.

MACHINIsTs MAY GO OUT.

Associated with the boilermakers are
the machinists, fremen, oilers, wipers
and kindred branches of railway en-
ployes. In the event of a bitter con-
troversy it is but natural that these
will fall in line and, join the boiler
makers in a sympathetic strike. A ru-
NOR was current around this city last
night to the effect that the machinists
have taken action and will refuse to
return to their posts of duty until the
trouble with the boilermakers is ad-
justed.
Shortly after o'clock Yesterday aft
ernoon H. j. Small, general superin-
tendent of motor power and mainte-
nance of way of the company, received
telegraphic adyjces from the division
superintendent and master mechanics
along the railroad system telling him
for the first time of the move of the
men. In discussing the situation Mr.,
Small said:
THE trouble has been brewing for
some time. The Southern Pacific Com
pany has been paying the highest
wages of any railroad in the United
States except the Santa Fe road, which
is paying the same wages as our COM
pany on its western branches. In
Tucson our boilerrnakers are. receiving

BroiIed Live Lobster.

The editor of Animals Friend,
apparently an English publication,
seeing recently a bill in a Strand
restaurant window advertising broil-
ed live lobster as an especially saw
DRY dish, ''never having heard Of
this barbarity," went in to inquire
regarding it. The proprietor ex-
planned that the lobster, having his
claws properly secured, was actual
ly placed alive over the hot Goals
and slowly broiled to death. 'FHe
did not seem to think that the prac-
tice needed any apology. and when
| suggested to him that it seemed
very cruel he replied that he did
not think it was worse than putting
the Holsters into boiling water,
which was constantly done, and
that it was soon over" Both of
these practices certainly do seem
extremely barbarous, and some
painless way Of killing the animal
just before cooking without mutt
lating it should be devised.

EXAMPLE OF HIS LOoUACITY.

Senator j. C. S. Blackburn is
never at a loss for a word and is
ready to talk at a minutes notice.
His friends like to joke him about
his garrulity, and recently a col
league told this story at a dinner
at which Senator Blackburn was to
give a toast: 'In his younger days
my colleague, Mr. Blackburn, was
very chivalrous. Asked by friend
to be second in a duel, Mr.. Black
burn readily consented. At sunrise
the parties met at the appointed
place It was Mr.. Blackburn's duty
to say the last words about the
terms of the duel. And, gentle
men," continued the speaker, edo
you know that duel never took
placer"
A murmur of "Why not?" went
around the table.
'For very simple reason con-
tinued the speaker. "When Joe fin
ished speaking, it was too dark for a
duel"
