METHODS UNcLEANLY AND
DANGEROUS TO HEALTH

The report shows that the stock
yards and packinghouses are not kept
even reasonably clean and that the
method Of handling and preparing
food products Is uncleanly and dan
gerous to health. Under existing law
the national government has no
power to enforce inspection Of the
many forms Of prepared meat food
products that are daily going from
the packinghouses into interstate com
merce. Owing to an Inadequate ap-
prOpriation the department OF agricul-
ture IL not even able to place inspec-
tors In all establishments desiring
them. The present law prohibits the
shipment OF uninspected meat to for
sign countries. but there is no pro-
vision forbidding the shipment Of un-
inspected meats In interstate com.
merce and thus the avenues OF inter
state commerce are left open to trafic
In diseased or spoiled meats. II. as
has been alleged on seemingly good
authority. further evils exist. such as
the improper use OF chemicals and
dyes. the government lacks power to
remedy them. A new law Is needed
which will enable the inspectors OF
the general government to inspect and
supervise from the hoOf to the can

During all these processes there IS NO
government inspection, although these
products when sent out bear label
stating that they have been passed
upon by government inspectors. The
report arraigns the sanitary pro-
visions in the buildings as abominable

always thought he was until the ex-
posure of his wrongdoing was made,
then he must have welcomed death as
happy issue out of all his trouble.
He was an old man. He had sounded
the depths and shadows of life. He
had run the gamut of human emotions.
He had felt the glorious thrills of tri-
umph and the pangs of disappointed
ambition. He had associated, the
world around, with the men who give
impetus and tongue to the uplifting
thoughts of mankind that are hurry
ing us on to a civilization that will
eventually realize the poets dream of
Utopia.
What he must have suffered in his
last days-what devils peopled his
brain, what repinings of what might
have been must have depressed his
soul--who can imagine these, let alone
tell about them? Napoleon fretting
out his proud life on st. Helena never
was as unhappy as John III. Mitchell

one Senator who had seen him since
his trouble that he would never go to
Jail"
Had there been attempt to consider
resolutions of respect for the memory
of Senator Mitchell 1t is likely that
there would have been objection.
There is a precedent for such action,
for when Senator Broderick, of Cali
fornia, was killed in duel with Judge
Terry, of that State, resolutions of re-
spect were offered in the Senate. They
we're opposed by Senator Foster, of
Connecticut. and the resolutions were
referred to a committee and never
we're heard from afterward.

Peace Now Reigns.

After warnings for more than hun
dred years, in which time thousands
of lives have been sacrificed and the
greater portion Of the Washoe and
Piute Indian tribes wiped out, peace
has been declared between those tribes.
This arrangement was brought about
by Capt Pete, head chief Of the Washoe
tribe, and Capt. Dave, head chief Of the
Piute tribe. They met in Reno, Nevada,
and through Johnny Kay, Capt. Dawes
lieutenant, tire two old warriors shook
hands and for an hour or more over
the pipe of peace discussed the plans
that led to the ending of hostilities.
Now they are planning a big peace
dance 1t will take place at Sparks,
and for six days both tribes will join
in celebrating the big event. The Piutes
once constituted one of the largest
tribes in the Northwest and the Washoe
tribe was a close second.

nance that it Is well-nigh incredible.
Bartlett is the grandson of ID. 4. In

parts, who was murdered in the hills
by his partner. The Bartlett family
are spiritualists, and Bartlett declares
that his dead and murdered grand
father, through a Portland medium,
appeared to him and described how
he could find the lost mine and that he
would be Independent for life.
Bartlett asserts positively that he
received specific directions from the
spirit of his grandfather how to pro
coed to the lost mine. Moreover, he
was told to select M. c. Black to &C
company him. The men will not tell
of the location of their find, but say
it cannot be reached save by making
an extremely dangerous trip and one
filled with hardship, especially at this
time of the year, when the mountains
are firm in winters icy grasp. In the
spring they will return and develop
their find.

they say, they found gray quartz

Then l bought $1.00 worth of cigars;
then we went to the theatre for $500.
After theatre we went down to the
Bowery and / spent $500 there"
"That makes $780," said the Cen

fifty cents?'

finally said:
