A DlSADY ANTAGE
DIR. H. M. BRACKEN COMMENTS
ON MEAT INSPECTION.
Since Big Butchers Have Benefit Of
Free Government Supervision. Little
Ones Gan Claim Same Privilege,
Which Puts Burden on State or Mu-
nicipality-Co Consumers Have Rights.

DR.. n. M. Bracken, secretary of the
state board of health, heartily approves
of The Juurnal S suggestion that
the government inspection of packing
houses should be supplemented by state
or municipal inspection of local abat-
toirs in order that Americans should
obtain as good meat as the foreigners.
DR.. Bracken's Ideas.
ut will be difficult matter to Sc
cure state inspection under present con-
ditions,' says DR.. Bracken. Had the
federal government provided for a per
capita inspection fee for each animal
slaughtered for interstate or export
trade, it would then have been sim
pie matter for each state to establish
a similar per capita inspection fee for
within the state But since the federal
government has seen fit to give the
great butchers free inspection, the
same must be given to the small butch
ers in order that all may be treated
alike. Under present conditions, there
fore, it will be necessary, in order to
secure proper state inspection. for the

annual appropriation of from $500 to

Packers Absurd Claim.
| "Of course, there was a cry on the
part of the great butchers against a
per capita inspection fee, they claiming
that this tax upon their business would
| be. burdensome. Their claim was alb.
surd. Surprising an inspection fee of
25 cents for cattle and s cents for small
animals had been fixed. If these fees
were charged against the meat, the
amount Of increase on the retail price
of meat would be too small to appre
ciate. This fee could have been Gov
| cred by adding fraction of a cent q
pound to the choicest pieces of meat
The difficulty would have been to in
crease the price of meat just enough tt
cover the fee and no more.
4 cit must be kept in mind that pri
marlly the federal inspection of meat
is on a commercial rather than on
sanitary basis. The system of fedora
inspection was established not for tn

AUGUST WEATHER Is GOOD.
AVERAGE FOR FIFTEEN YEARS
SHOWS A MONTH JUST ABOUT
RIGHT.

An interesting. tho not conclusive,
forecast Of the weather that may be
expected during the G. A. R. encamp-
ment is furnished by the resume Of Au-
gust weather of the last fifteen years,
issued today by T. 8 Outram. section
director OF the weather bureau. These
figures are not given as q forecast, but
tions in Minneapolis for the month.
The mean, or normal. August temper
allure is ~ degrees. The warmest Au-
gust, that of 1900, averaged n degrees
and the coolest, that of 1908, averaged
65 degrees. The highest temperature
was 90 degrees on Aug. 4. 1896. The
lowest temperature was ~ degrees on
Aug. 20. 1891.
The average August rainfall for fif-
teen wears is 3.S5 inches. The great
est precipitation was 6.67 inches in 1900
The greatest precipitation in twenty
four hours was 4.OS inches, on Aug.
1924. 1898. The average number Of
rainy days is 9, Of clear days 9, of
partly cloudy days IA and of cloudy
days s.
The prevailing winds are from the
south, blowing at the average rate of
9 miles an hour. The highest wind We
northwest on Aug. 20, 1904.
Reviewing the weather for the seven
days ending yesterday, Mr.. Outram says
that
Clear weather was general during the
week, except on the 2Sth. when there was
cloudy weather, with threatening and
showery conditions. Rains were reported
on the morning of the 26th as having oc-
CURED during the preceding twenty-four
hours in the northern and southern parts
Of the state, and there were heavier and
more general rains on the night of the

daily average temperature reported at
local offices of the weather bureau did
not range more than degrees above OF

maximum temperatures were unusually
even from the oath to the 2Sth, inclusive,
having ranged, with few exceptions, from
80 to So degrees, while the 23d and
29th they were several degrees lower. The

time, should not the American meat
consumer have received some consider
alton Why should not the meat in
spection have been put on such q basis
as to insure q wholesome American
meat supply for Americans as well as
for foreignersf The answer may be
that all Americans have the privilege Of
buying meat that has passed federal in
spection. This may. be true If meat
consumer in the United States sees the
carcass from which the meat he is or
dering is cut and notes whether It bears
the government Inspectors tag, and
takes the trouble to carry home such
meat, not leaving it to be cut and de-
live1ed after he has given the order.
Assuming that the American meat
consumer will 20 to this amount Of

in the countrya They will be driven
out Of business, for they cannot secure
federal inspection unless they are carry

gress Intentionally legislated to ruin
every small butcher in the country, the
great butchers who are carrying on an
Interstate and foreign business (and
are therefore provided with free in
spection of meats), are under great OBJ
legation to the federal government, for
their business will be increased to the
extent Of at least IS per cent.
How One Bill Failed.
ttIn 1901 an attempt was made to
pass a meat inspection law thru the
Minnesota legislature, The bill pro-
vided inspection fees for each animal
killed and for meats prepared outside
of the state and brought into the state
in competition with local butchers.
There was no other possible way of Sc
curing the passage Of such measure,
for there was absolutely no hope of the
legislature appropriating sufficient
sum to carry on the inspection with.
out the aid of inspection fees. The
great butchers of the country opposed
this bill, stating that their meats were
already inspected (free) by the FEEDER.
al authorities. They were willing, how.
ever, that the state of Minnesota should
place an inspection fee on the small
] butchers turnout the state, thus tend
ing to drive them out of business.
NWhen sanitary matters are recog.
nized as of some value and when other
than commercial interests are made the
| basis of meat inspection, then and then
only can the people Of the United States
who are obliged to purchase meats
slaughtered within the state be as
sured Of a. meat supply that has been
properly Inspected .1.-.....t. .,

WESTERN PACIFIC
FOR VALLEJO
CITIZENS OF THAT TOWN OFFER
INDUCEMENTS
To the New Road to Enter Their City.
New Route Surveyed Enters
Vallejo.

In order that they may determine
if the Western Pacific Railroad is com
ing to Vallejo, and to offer the new
road inducements to do so, the people
of Vallejo will hold mass meeting
within he next week or ten days, says
the Sacramento Bee. The Twknty-
Thousand Club has the matter under
consideration, but It is not quite ready
to announce its plans at his time
Surveyors have been busy for the
past several weeks laying out four
lines of railroads between this city
and Elmira, and one of the employees
of the party told he Bee correspond
ent that he men are in the employ Of
of Gould interests. Whoever Is
making the survey is spending money
with liberal hand and is securing all
necessary data on the cost and the
best route for road through this Sec
tion.
The line thus far surveyed leads
from the city wharf in Vallejo, where
the largest ocean-going vessels can
land, and follows the Southern Pacific
tracks east and northward for two
miles, when it switches directly the
east through the American canyon,
about two miles north of Napa Junct-
ion, and thence through Cordelia, and
along the north of Fairfield to Elmira
This route between this city and
Sacramento would be an almost direct
line and would be the shortest poss;-
BILE route that could be built. Since
the declaration of the Western Paci-
flc that it will build another and a
shorter line than it's main road, which
goes by the way of Stockton, there has
been considerable guessing as to where
this short line would be constructed.
Such road would make straight
line to this city, cross the Straits of
Carquinez here by ferry system or
bridge, and continue on to Oakland,
or it could cross by a pile bridge the
southern arm of San Jablo bay 10
Sausalito, where the Western Pacific
has large bay holdings.
1t is the intention of the progress
i've citizens of Vallejo to select COM
mitee to await upon the Gould peo-
pie and ascertain if there is any
chance for Vallejo to get on the line
of the new project.

JAPS SUBDUE THE
FLAMES
COAL BUNn.R FIRE UNDER CON
IROL AT LAST.
Sixty Japs Shovel Coal for Week and
Segregate the Burning Embers
From Ignited Coal.

The continuous use of large stream
of water and the energy of sixty Japs
Systematically applied for the period of
one week in removing burning embers
from the unignited coal has
been successful IN subduing the
flames which have been raging
at the Southern Pacific depot for the
past three weeks and have destroyed
hundreds of tons of coal. Several
small fire are yet burning but these will
be extingnisncd soon and the men en-
ployed at the bunkers believe that in
two weeks the fire will be out fo-
keeps. The coal pile at present is eight
feet deep and sixty feet wide and 600
feet in length.
The recent fire also did considerable
damage in burning timbers and piles
which supports the track above the ceal
pile and force of a dozen carpenters
is busily engaged in repairing burned
timbers and in replacing new ones.
Every year during the not season

where coal is stored. Through that
physical phenomena known as spon-
taneous combustion during the hat
weather coal piles suddenly become ig-
nited and the work of extinguishing
entails a great amount of labor. Be
fore the fire is extinguished hundreds
of tons of coal sometimes are reduced
TO ashes.
Because of the frequency of strikes
among the coal miners in the summer
and snow blockades in the winter, the
company is forced to keep great guam
titles of coal on supply at its various
terminals and supply stations
The fire last year at the coal bunk
ers was even more severe than the one
this year. At that time it is reported
that all the coal was destroyed and
the major portion of the coal trestle.

INSURANCE wELCHERS MEET

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 7.-The
welching' insurance companies re-

States circuit court TINS morning, when
the jury in the case of Levy Straus vs..
The Transatlantic Fire Insurance
Company, acting under instructions
from the court, brought in verdict
for the plaintiff in the sum of $4,000,
costs and accrued interest.
Judge Whitson, who presided, did not
give the defendant any chance what
ever to evade, but ruled that the de-
fendant concern had utterly failed to
prove exemption from liability, as it
had no earthquake clause in its policies
and was bound to reimburse its clients
for losses.
This suit is looked upon as test
case, and the insurance men are ,le-
jected, while the policy holders are
inbilant. Millions of dollars are due on
policies which the companies have de-
clined to pay, and it is now believed
they will have to hquidate.
