The testimony Of persons arriving
here from the country Is unanimous to
the effect that the people are restless

The talk OF the towns is OF those who
have gone out to join the insurgents

Of negro recruits, who are suspected in

question of approaching Pine Guerrero

Boise ever saw, the citizens are happy.
Tor their congress bids fair to be the
most successful ever held.

according to schedule. Speeches, nu-
merous but brief, all dealt with the
subject uppermost in the minds OF the
people-irrigation and homo building
In the arid West. President Roose-
veltn letter, read by Clifford Pinchot.
was the keynote, and the talk Of Vice
President Fairbanks followed along the
lines OF that letter.
Fairbanks was the star attraction at
the congress. He was gree ted by hun
drods prior to and after the meetinss.
and At the public reception tonight WAS
rendered typical Western welcome.
his speech this morning made q decid-
ed hit, demonstrating to the congress
that the vice president, like the presi-
dent, had given an ear 10 the demands

ready to lend them helping hand at
every turn.
1t 10 the intention of a certain ele

The subsequent sessions OF the congress.
Fred ]. Keisel, OF Salt Lake, is the
principal promoter OF this idea, but
there 10 little likelihood the congress
will support him. President Roosevelt
n his letter very clearly expresses his
iisapprovAl OF the scheme, stating in
plain language that there must be no
iirect appropriation for the construc.

How Government Inspectors Will In

oicate what is Good,
Washington, Aug. Slowing to the
new meat inspection law, the number
OF inspectors labels used will be more
than doubled. Already the Agricul-
tural department has contracted to
supply 10000 for the month OF Sep
TENDER, and after the law becomes
effective this number will be increased
to 5000.
The tag is about one and one. quarter
inches square. 1t is a thin sheet of
gelatine, with few threads running ON
1t. There is printed in blue letter
legend like this: Omitted States. In
spected. Passed 207." The number
at the end is that OF the abattoir in
spector, who simply slaps the little tag
on piece Of meat and the heat and
moisture of the treshly-killed meat
makes 1t stick. In short time the
gelatine dissolves, the linen threads
rub Oh, and there is left nothing but
the print of those blue letters in the
meat. 1t cannot be removed, except by
cutting. 1t is absolutely harmless.
