NEAT INSPECTION SERVICE
Solicitor No0abs Finds that There ls No
Discrimination in Furnishing Inspectors
SALMON NOT GUILTY or WRONG DOING
Report Says that Connection Of
Bureau chief with Firm Furnish
iRE Labels is Unfortunate,
but Not Illegal.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 3O-No discrimina-
tion in the work Of the meat inspection
service and eXoneration Of DR.. D. E.
! Salmon, chief Of the bureau of animal
Industry of the Department Of Agriculture.
OF charges growing out OF business con-
nections here, are the findings announced
today by Solicitor McCabe Of that depart-
ment as the result of his Investigation of
charges against that branch Of the de-
partment. Solicitor McCabe's work has
been approved by Secretary Wilson The
report says that DR.. Salmons connection
with local business firm, while not ideal
for government officer. did not involve
any wrongdoing and that he never bene-
flied from the government contract with
that hrm.
Meat Inspection Service.
In summing UP the findings concerning
criticisms Of the meat inspection service
Solicitor McCabe says:
The matter of graft or refusal Of t,,eat
inspection to establishments applying there
Tor mas received careful consideration 1
foT @ inspectinInT @ iSIT'Rs Rsr 1901 twenty applcatio
tSen were granted. In 1872 thirteen applca-
sLSnls, lions were received, of which ten were
were received, of which four were granted
ana twenty-three refused. In 1904 twenty-
ten were granted. During 1905 to This da re-
twelve applications were received of wbjcb
one mas been granted and two are pend
ing. ma that the refusal to grant inspec-
tlon has In majority of cases been based
on the fact that the appropriation has been
entirely inadequate to cover the Inspection
ot all meat used In interstate trade and
the policy of the department appears to
nave been TO grant inspection where the
outlay OF money would cover the inspec-
tion OF the largest number OF animals I
DO not find that there has been any dis
elimination.

The Investigation of the charge that
DR.. Salmon was a member Of, the
Howard Label company Of WASH
ington, which has the contract to furnish
meat inspection tags to the government
was concluded today and that oficlal COM
pletely exonerated Of any wrongdoing. II
was determined also that his administration
OF the meat inspection service had been
as fair as appropriations warranted. The
investigation was conducted by Solicitor
George P. McCabe and approved by Sec
retary Wilson in the following comment:
Inquiry discloses the fact that DR.. Salmon
hhd an unfortunate connection with The
hrm OF George E Howard q Co VVbiis
this connection was not an ideal realiza-
ton Tor a government officer to have a

| am convinced that DR.. Salmon never in
tended to profit by work done by Mr. How

that he has never been connected with The
howard Label company or received anv
beneht from the contract of that company
with the department. The case does not

A Conner Mine.

A company composed OF New York
and San Francisco capital has been
working for the past year on a cop
per property situated on Whiskey
Flat, eighteen miles from the town of
Hawthorne. They have sunk four
shafts and are now driving a tunnel
to catch the 1000 foot level. There
is no stock for sale in this property,
it being a private corporation, aud
as soon as the ledge is met a smelter
and railroad will be built. This
means a lot to Tonopab, as it will be
the e of using up some of our
ore for fiuxing purposes, and it will
also bring Nevada to the front, as
copper is at present in great de-
mand, the price being 1871 cents,
February delivery. We wish the
Hawthorne district success.

Combination Fraction.

The shaft on the Combination Frac.
ton at Goldfeld is to be continued.
This ground adjoins the Jumbo on the
southwest. When a depth of 500
feet is gained crosscuts and drifts
are to be u out and the vein system
thoroughly explored. At different
points above the 500 foot mark levels
will also be run, but the greater
depth is to be the scene OF the more
extensive operations. The electric
hoist recently installed is working
smoothly and is a great furtherance
to the work of sinking. At the 200
foot level prosecuting has resulted
IN the finding OF a water course and
a drift is being extended along it in
the hope that it will lead to a vein
similar to those opened at the $50
and other levels in the celebrated
January mine.

WITH THE EAGLES.
Souvenir Ball Proves a Most
Enjoyable Affair.

The grand souvenir ball given
Christmas night by Tonopah Aerie,
No. 271, r. o. E., was a most sue.
~cessful and enjoyable affair. Miners
Union hall, where the event took
place, was crowded rs it had never
been crowded before.
The hall had been tastefully decor
ated for the occasion and the hand
some Eagles banners added greatly
to the pretty appearance Of the
room.
Near the orchestra the fine speci-
men of the bald eagle presented to
Tonopah Aerie by Governor Sparks,
was mounted on a pedestal overlook
ing the dancers,
The committees in charge did
everything in their power to make
the guests feel at home and have a
royal good time. The music was
grand and lemonade and claret punch
were at the disposal Of the dancers
throughout the evening.
The souvenir programmes were the
admiration of all. The style and
makeup were conceived by Charley
Kielhofer and Lew H. Conley and
they certainly could not have de-
signed better.
The toasts appearing on the pro.
gram were as follows.

The Jolly crowd tripped the light
fantastic until the wee sma' hours
and it was with genuine regret that
the grand affair had to be brought to
a close, but all things, no matter
how pleasant, must have an ending.

ANIMAL STRIKERS.

Both Birds and Beasts Occasionally
Refuse to Work.
Both birds and beasts occasionally 20
on strike, according to observers. A
herd of horses will bunch together, neg
lect their food, become FESTIVE, neigh
and rub noses when in a field. The
outcome is that the herd will not allow
themselves to be saddled or harnessed
and will chase and attempt to kick the
attendants. Female birds take tan
trums and refuse to do the homework.
They desert their nests and leave their
eggs to become cold and barren. The
male naturally becomes greatly con-
cerned, but with the bird and beast
creation the male will never attack the
female, SO there is no remedy. War
bfers and starlings are given greatly to
these strikes
A species Of black ants have little
yellow ants which do most Of their
work for them. Occasionally the yell
low species will go on a strike. Their
food supply is cut off, but If that does
not avail the strikers are attacked or
another lot of yellow ants are secured.
Even the rabbit Is a hardened strik-
er. In rabbit colonies the stronger rab-
bits do most of the burrowing, and as
often as perhaps once in two years
these become discontinued and refuse
to work.

DINING IN JAPAN.
II It's Your First Japanese Meal You
VIII Have N Trying Time

II It's Your First Japanese Meal You
VIII Have n Trying Time.
If it's your first Japanese dinner
you're having a dreadfully hard time.
In the first place you must sit on the
door, for they don't have any chairs In
Japan. You kneel down, and then you
turn your toes in till one laps over the
other, and then you sit back between
your heels. At first you are quite
proud to find how well you do it, and
yoG don't think it's so very uncomfort-
able. But pretty soon you get cramp-
ed, and your legs ache as if you had a
toothache in them. You don't say any
thing, because you think that If the
Japanese can sit this way all day long
you ought to be able to stand it few
minutes. Finally both your feet go to
sleep, and then you can't bear it a
moment longer, and you have to get
up and stamp around the room to
drive the prickles out of your feet, and
all the little dancing girls giggle at
you. This isn't your only trouble Ell
Their. All you have to eat with is a
pair of chopsticks, and you're in terror
lest you spill something on the dainty
white mating floor. Now the floor Of
Japanese house isn't just the floor;
it's the chairs and sofas and tables
and beds as well. At home it would
be notifying enough to go out to din
ner and spill something on the floor,
but in Japan, where people sit and
sleep on the floor, 1t seems even worse.
So you are unhappy till your little ne
san (who is the waitress and almost
as prettily dressed as the dancing girls,
but not quite comes laughing to your
aid and shows you how to hold your
chopsticks. After that you manage
nicely the rice and the omelet, but the
fish and the chicken you can't contrive
to shred apart without dropping your
chopsticks all the time. So between
dances the maiko-the little girls about
twelve years old-kneel down beside
you and help you. They can't keep
from giggling at your awkwardness,
but you don't mind; you just giggle,
too, and everybody giggles and has a
lovely time.-St. Nicholas.
