SENATE AGREES TO BEGIN voT.
ING ON AMENDMENTS
MAY a. 81

Washington, May /. - The senate
will begin voting on the amendments
to the railroad rate bill on Friday,
May 4. An agreement to that effect
was reached yesterday, but it proved
impossible so to extend the under
standing as to have it include the fix
ing of a date for taking final vote
on the bill as whole. The general
impression among senators is that the
final vote will be reached within a
week from the time of the beginning
of the cor sideration of amendments.
Yesterday was both field day and
a seed" day in the house, the major
portion of the legislative session being
given over to the consideration of the
agricultural appropriation bill and in
cident thereto the free distribution Of
seeds which the hill does not provide
for but which many members desire
to be restored to the bill.

Regenerat.ng the world is rather a
difficult and complex business, and
the confusion of counsel is somewhat
perrlexing, but the enthusiasm of some
young idealists is altogether admir-
able. Even mistaken and middle
headed idealism is bette- than none at
all, admits the New York World. We
should not care much lor a world that
was peopled entirely by fshy-eyed,
cold-blooded individuals Of the type
commonly described as practical"
The idealism ct the stokeses and Pat
tersons is at least in refreshing con-
trast with the snug compla cency of a
young John .. Rockefeller. Yet we
may beseech them to leave something
for posterity to do. If the world is too
perfect and posterity has nothing to
struggle against it will become sloth-
full and will decay. Regeneration will
have been in vain and societys lasr
stage will be worse than the first.

A million ccres of public domain III
Nebraska, stolen by the cattle men and
fenced in, have been restored to the
national domain and thrown open to
settlement, and it IS hoped by the Phil
adelphia Re -ord that before Secretary
Hitchcock gets through with his war
on the illegal fences he will recover
three million acres. These cattle men
generally make some pretense of con-
formity with law; their hired men 20
through the forms of demonstrating a
piece of ground, and as soon as they
get title they assign it to their employ
ers. Tut sometimes the cattle men
simply stretch their barbed wire fences
over the ground they find it conve-
nient to use. It was in Nebraska that
q Federal Judge last fall sentenced two
men who had confessed to fencing
about 225,000 acres of public land to
be committed to the custody Of the
Marshal zor six hours, and he at once
surrendered them to thei- own ottor.

BIC PACKING PLANT
NEAR COMPLETION
Four-StOry Structure, and Gov
ers Fully an Acre of
Ground.
HOTEL WILL SOON BE
ERECTED FOR SHIPPERS
Stock Exchange Will Be Es-
tablished; Plant Means
Much for Salt Lake.

The large packing house being erected
by the Utah Packing company just ovor
the line IN Davis county and north Of
Salt Lake, is now nearing completion;
1t is situated along the three lines of
railroads leading from Salt Lake to
portance of which to this region can
not be easily over estimated 1t is a
four-story brick structure and covers
fully an acre Of ground, That the un-
dertaking has ample backing is shown
by the fact that its stockholders in
cludc some 400 of the leading stoekmen
of the intermountnin region.
This plant will bo the nucleus Of an
important industrial and commercial
center. The Union Stock Yards com
pany, owned by Leary g. Warren, will
begin on Monday next to move the
stock yards situated mile away to
the slaughter house and packing plant.
shippers, and a stock exchange will be
established. This combination will
make of Salt Lake stock and meat
market Of no mean Importance.
Capacity Of Plant.
Tho normal capacity of the plant
will be 800 cattle and 1000 each of
sheep and hogs daily, Its operation, it
is claimed, by its promoters will mean
better prices for stock growers in this
region and cheaper and better meats
for the local markets, The plant will
be Of such magnitude that every prod
uct of the slaughtered animals can be
utilized and there will be absolutely no
waste Every product OF metropol"
tan packing plant will be turned out
with the exception Of canned meats.
The equipment will be after the man
ner of the most recent and improved
plants in the larger cities. On the
upper part of the building refrigera-
tor plant is being installed, which, with
the levators, haulage system, other
power facilities and the lightning will
be propelled by 50-horsepower cleo
trio and power plant being erected
by the Intermountain Electric com
pnny, and which will be completed by
August 10. The Strengthening Of ami.
mails in the new plant will begin in
few weeks, probably early in Septem-
Der.
What Plant Means for Zion.
The result Of this plant will be to
bring to Salt Lake many thousands Of
cattle, sheep and hogs that would other
wise be shipped East And many OF
the carcasses would be returned again.
The new order of things will there
fore be vast saving of freight rates
both ways, and In addition give en-
ployment to many laborers at home.
