Exposure of Their Methods Results In
Quick Effort to Reform.

CHICAGO, June 5.-One of the i'm.
mediate effects of the presidents dis.
closure of packing house conditions
was seen in an attempt in at least
three OF the packing houses to remedy
the conditions condemned in the re-
port. Floors were cleaned, walls
scraped, and light and ventilation i'm.
proved. The surroundings of the
workers in these three plants were i'm
proved 80 per cent. in one day.
The general manager of n big
plant spent the morning In a plumb.
ing establishment picking out the
latest sanitary plumbing. Besides
renov ating the plumbing, the' pack.
ers put up a variety of signs all over
the plants enjoining cleanliness. The
foremen were told that the rule against
expectorating must be enforced or dis.
charge would result. Another new
rule posted conspicuously was that
forbidding the use Of tobacco in all
food producing rooms.
Impelled by disclosures at the stock.
yards Mayor Dunno announced q new
municipal ownership project last
night. He declared himself in favor
of the city owning q slaughtering
plant where the packers would be com.
PEELED to kill their cattle and prepare
the meat for sale under strict NUM-
cipal supervision. The only difficulty
foreseen by the mayor is the problem
OF. raising the necessary funds for
such 40 undertaking. He will confer
with alderman Frank 1. Bennett,
chairman of the council finance COM
mittee and other mem bers of the city
council, to see if there Is not some
way OF finding the money.
Three sanitary inspectors were to.
day sent to the stocky ards by Com.
missioner of Health Whalen with in.
structions to make a thorough inspec.
ton of the handling of meat, carefully
to examine the sanitary conditions of
the employees and to make an immedi.
ate report concerning any sanitary
condition they may find.
Building Commissioners Bartzen
also sent a number of inspectors to
the stocky ards to examine all the
buildings in the yards and gave them
instructions to report any violations
OF the building ordinances that are ap.
parent.
Seven Of the big packing establish
ments OF Chicago issued q statement
last night replying to the charges
made in the Neill.R Reynolds report of
the packing plants and President
R~oosevelt's message to congress. The
packers declare that their plants are
clean, their methods of manufacture
satisfactory, their products whole
some, and that for years doctors,
chemists, sanitarians and official in.
vestigators from practically every
civilized nation, who have made ex.
a%minations of the meat packing
plants, have been satisfied in every
instance with conditions existing in
this industry. Despite this, the pack.
ers assert that they stand ready to
adopt any practical suggestion for
improvements.

thought to be because of this that the
frosts do not retard or harm the de-
velopment of the fruit. This fact
should make the raising of seedless ap-
pies more sure than the growing OF
old varities
It was but a short time ago that
the seedless orange was novelty. To-
day but few others are Of
fered on the market, as they
are not wanted fhen the naval
orange can be obtained, and for this
reason it is not likely that fruitgrow-
ers will look favorably upon the intro
duction of the seedless apple, for If it
should prove as successful as many
scientists anticipate it will undoubt-
edly cause a revolution in Orcharding.
This would necessitate the re-grafting
of all ordinary apple trees at great cost
and labor.
There is a saving of about rs per
cent in the seedless apple, owing to
their being no waste except the peel
ing. which is a great consideration for
consumers The Improvement is MOTTO
ed when it comes to canning and evap-
Grating the fruit; for hotel and res
raurant use and for family eating
and cooking, the absence of all seeds
and seed pockets being a great con-
venience. Since it's introduction on the
market, a short time ago, it has been
gaining popularity rapidly.

MILWAUKEE BEGINS WORK.
First Grading on Coast Extension in

BUTTE. MONT, Aug. 2S.-The first
actual construction work on the Butte
& Whithall division of the Milwau-
KEGS Pacific coast road was begun,
when a crew of forty men began
grading short distance east of Pipe
stone summit, twelve miles from
Butte.
In addition to the forty men en-
ployed. there are number of teams
at the contractors camp Within a
short time two other camps will be
established. The camp at present is
located right at the top of the main
range of the Rockies, and it is evident
ly the intention of the contractors to
get as much work done as possible be-
fore cold weather and snow, which
would interfere with work in that alti-
tude.
The route between Whitehall and
Butte will be thirty five miles long and
will have four tunnels, one $500 feet
long and another half as long. The
roadbed will be completed to Butte by
the fall of 1907. 1t is expected that

.SEEDLESS APPLE PERFECTED

Solves The Problem
EXPERIMENT PROVES SUCCESSFUL
NEW APPLE HAS BEEN NAMED
THE "sPENsER sEEDLEss
APPLE"
EXPERIMENT PROVES SUCCESSFUL

Walla Walla growers are interest
ed in a seedless apple, which has been
discovered and perfected by J. F. Spen-
ser, a veteran nurseryman Of Colorado,
after fifteen years of continual labor.
The apple has now passed the ex-
detrimental stage and is recognized as
a splendid success. 1t is called the
"Spenser seedless apple" and is said
TO combine the best qualities of the
seedless varieties.
The apple is a handsome red when
fuIlv matured. In size and flavor it
is usually compared with the Baldwin
and in keeping qualities with the Ben
Davis The meat is firm and the skin
smooth and not undesirably tough.
It is a strictly winter apple, beng
readv for the market about the last
of october. The trees have hard'
smooth bark and seem to stand the
cold weather as well, if not better,
than the ordinary varieties. The apple
has been fully developed for some tlme'
hut it was not until a month or so
ago that the fruit and trees have been
,,,t unon the market There are now
.sunposed to be about 100000 trees IN
all but even that figure is small, as II
constitutes the entire supply OF THESE
trees in the world.
