Last Monday was an eventful
day for Sioux City, as on that day
the new Armour packing plant,
which has Just been completed at
a cost of 81, 900, 900, was formally
opened. The old Armour plant
was burned two years ago, ami
fears were entertained that the
company would not rebuild at that
place. But the field was too val
liable to be surrendered to the Gu
daily company, and the result is
that the two rival companies are
again at work, better equipped than
ever, and determined to make
Sioux City one Of the leading pack
ing centers of the north west.

land fair. At the time that the
expositions were suspended the
conditions were such that it was
almost impossible to make them q
success. We were passing through
a period of general business de-
preston. immigration was at a
stand still and farmers we're not
particularly interested in advertis-
ing the country. The sale of fan
cy stock at reasonable prices was
impossible, and breeders absolute
ly refused to go to the expense of
making an exhibit. The state fair
had been located at Yankton, only
thirty miles distant, for nine years,
bringing our fair into direct COM
petition with the state fair, SO that
a temporary suspension of our ex.
positions seemed to be imperative.
These conditions are now all chan
ged. The state fair will hereafter
be held at Huron, over one hun
dred miles away. The city and
the farming community are pros
porous and rapidly developing.
Breeders OF fancy stock are num-
erous and we have some of the fin
est herds of horses, cattle and swine
to be found anywhere 10 the coun-
try. These breeders are all anx-
ious to exhibit their stock and will
be liberal patrons and supporters
of a good fair. The grounds are

some expense. If any effort is to

MORE vERDANT LEGISLATION

1t was decided to petition the board
OF supervisors to pass an ordinance pro-
hibiting any one person from having in
his possession more than 100 trout at
any one time. This is purposed to de-
feat the malpractice of those who 90
to the lakes in the mountains during
the summer months, catch several hun
dred trout and bring. them to lover
attitudes only to spoil before any use
can be made thereof. The petition
will be circulated Immediately, and
presented to the supervisors at the
next regular meeting. 1t is a. good
proposition and should be universally v
endorsed. Record.
The above is taken from the report
of the proceedings of the Sutter Creek
Game Protection Association at meet
ing held last week. Let us hope the
supervisors will fight shy of cumber-
ing the ordinance book with any more
fool laws along the lines proposed. We
have law now that prohibits the sell.
ing of trout or game BIRDS. or the
catching or killing of the same for
market. Where the benefit of such an
ordinance comes in it is difficulty to con.
ceive. 1t is evaded-and very properly
and righteously evaded-by parties
catching fish for market, giving the
same away on reaching the market
towns, and accepting donation of hall
dollar or dollar, according to the
number of fish donated, which money
is to help defray the expenses of the
fishing expedition. And why should
not an absurd law be bunkoed in this
fashion? Why should every lover ol
trout have to take tour to the lakes
or the creeks of the eastern part of the
county to crafty his appetite? Why
should he not have the privilege OF
paying others for the trouble and ex.
pense of fishing, in lieu of taking a trir
to the hunting grounds himself? The
proposed law will have no tendency
whatever to stop the spelling of fish.
1t is far better to try to bring trout to
the towns, where they sell readily for
cash, than to leave them to rot in the
neighborhOod where they are caught.
Suppose such an ordinance is passed,
what is to prevent a trout catcher from
throwing away his catch before il
reaches the 100 mark, and starting in
afresh. We have too many ill-digested.
indefensible attempts at legislation Of
this nature already. There never has
been, and it is doubtful if there ever
will be, conviction under them. Thew
seem to be designed to stake around
the lakes and rivulets of the upper Sec
tion with impracticable ordinances for
the purpose of securing the fishing
grounds for the pleasure of the sport
ing aristocracy. Our beautiful deer
law is designed along the same lines
1t makes it unlawful to have deer meat
in ones possession during that portion
of the year when climatic conditions
shut out the sporting fraternity from
the valley from hunting in the deer
haunts of the mountains. The resi-
dents of the mountains are not permit.
ted, according to the letter of the law,
to kill deer in the open season, and
store the meat for winter use. Now it
is proposed to impart this same ridicu-
lous inhuman phase to game fish.

Perhaps the most pernicious svs

Perhaps the most pernicious sys
tenn introduced by the unions is the
practice of publishing list of So
called scabs-men who are deemed
traitors to the cause of organized
labor because they do not see their
way clear to do Just what the labor
organizations want them to do.
How the unions can defend this
practice, aud at the same time de-
nounce the keeping of black list
by the employers, is something that
battles our comprehension. We are
continually greeted with the appear
ance in print-a thing unknown in
history of employers in relation to
tabooed men-of a list of names
sometimes accompanied by the por-
traits of the individuals under the
labor ban. Occasionally such pla-
cards are posted in conspicuous
places, besides being scattered
broadcast through the mails. If
such conduct does not fall within
the scope of the libel law, it is about
time law to that effect was passed.
Why such papers containing such
assaults upon private character
palpable attempt to abridge indi-
vidual liberty guaranteed by the con-
stitution-are allowed the privilege
of the liberal postal laws is incom-
prehensible. Every man-and every
organization of men-has the right
to the free expression of opinion.
No reasonable man will dispute this.
But when instead of a mere ex-
preston of opinion an individuals S
right to earn a living is directly as
sailed, and a man is held up to ridi-
cule and ostracism, because, for
sooth, he wants to boss his own
labor according to his own con-
science, it seems to us such tactics
are not of the kind to carry weight
with enlightened American citizens.
We cannot believe that one tithe of
the members of labor organizations
approve of such methods. AS a
rule, they are reasonable and intelli-
gent men, and must sincerely de-
plore this drift to extreme measures,
which cannot be otherwise than
prejudicial to the cause of union
labor.

The high wind last week did con-

throughout Jackson valley and the

on the Cronin place, better known as
the old Thompson place, is reported
totally demolished. Barns, roofs,
chicken houses, etc.. were damaged.
Many huge old tree that had with

On the j. Q. Horton place, about
three miles from Richey. hay shed
was blown down, and a big old crab
apple tree also went over.

fences. F. A. Horton has put nice

fences, and set out quite a number of
fruit and ornamental trees and shrubs,
and has also put up considerable field
fencing.

SHENANDOAH VALLEY.

SHENANDOAH VALLEY, March 16.
The storm king, who for more than
month has held revel here, has yet
neither addicted nor been deposed.
The farmers are growing exceedingly
weary of the enforced idleness entailed
by the weather's playful habit of giving
them shower baths every day. Grain
and grass are making a growth little
short of marvellous, and even the stock
that are turned out to shift for them
selves are able to pick up good living
along the roadsides. AS the grass
grows high the price of hay will prob
ably come down from it's extreme alti-
tude, though few here need to buy,
and no one has any more to sell. The
high water prices on farm products
reached the last year, will doubtless
encourage the production of these
staples.
The heaviest windstorm of the sea-
son came last Thursday. The usual
pranks of fences blown down and
branches twisted from trees were in
dulged in, and in addition the roof was
carried entirely off c. H. Courrier's
barn, and huge oak near the house of
Robert Brown, sr., was blown down;
nearly taking in its fall the home it's
branches had sheltered so long. A
small building used as store room,
only few feet from the dwelling, was
entirely demolished.
G. L. Toney had fine mule d drowned
in the COsumnes river one day last
week. He was crossing the ford be-
tween Diamond Springs and Nashville
with a team of twelve animals. In
some way six of them became tangled
and went under water, and for a time
it seemed that they would all be lost.
They were cut loose from the load and
hauled to land more dead than alive,
but with one exception were revived.
In view of what might have been, Mr..
Toney was fortunate in escaping a
much severer loss.
Mrs. Sarah Frey of Hungerfords
Mills, has been visiting her grand
