adopted today the American Stock
Growers association pledged itself TO
work in harmony with all livestock as
sociations, whether local, state or ma
tional"

port trade in meats were made by d.

President Roosevelt. for his fight for
equal rights to all at the hands of the
railroads" declaring that the present
railroad law is inadequate and should
be strengthened by giving to the Inter
state Commerce commission power to
substitute just, fair and reasonable
rates for those which it may find on in
Vestiga ton to be unjust or unreason-
able" COndemning the private car line
systems controlled by the packers:
asking repeal of laws requiring unload
ing Of livestock in transit; opposing the
tonnage system in transportation of
livestock and asking for a minimum
speed Of twenty miles an hour for
stock trains; demanding that the
senate Of the United States shall cease
Obstructing the application of that
great principle, reciprocity which we
regard as essential to extend our for
eign markets for agricultural and live

to bring about the reforms so essential
to the prosperity of the agricultural
and livestock interests"

All Swept Away.

Snyder is crossed by two tracks Of
the Frisco system. One traveTses the
town just little north of. its center
and runs east and west The other
runs north and south about half way
between the center of the town and the
eastern edge Not a thing remains
north and west Of the junction of these
tracks except the station building and
a water tank, both twisted.
The immense solid stone Frisco
rOundhouse here was completely de-
moIished and not a stone that was in
the structure has yet been located. Not
an engine was in the TOundhOuSe at the
time. A box car loaded with sacks of
cement that was near the rOundhOuse
was demolished and the cement was
scattered over two miles. Another box
car loaded with broom straw that was
standing py the car Of cement was
overturned, but the broom straw was
not disturbed by the wind.
Stone Building Demolished.
The two cotton gins of the town were
completely demolished. One of the
boilers left standing had all the steam
fittings blown off and the iron door of
this boiler was found two miles to the
northeast. As an instance of the sue
ton force of the wind, a substantial
stone building in the southwest pOr-
ton of the place just east of where
the tornado struck the town. had its
entire front literally pulled out. This
building is fully twenty yards from the
path of the tornado.
Twenty people were rescued from n
