only six years later. we number between

increase OF a million and a half We are
getting about q million n year BY immi-

more than that. But even at a million
and half IL Is enormous. Think what
Il means. Take the city OF Washington

Kansas CITY equally large. Add Cleve-

with 100, 900 more. Those cities alto

PACKING HOUSES WANT

Washington, ID. c., May 25.-The
condition Of some packing houses at

teryiew he had with William Il. Skin
ner and w. l.. Carlisle, representing
the live stock interests of the cOun-
try, and Representatives Madden of
Chicago, Cox, of New York, and
Brooks, of Colorado, the president
announced that he proposed TO see the
conditions, of which complaints were
made, in the packing houses changed
as promptly as possible; that the
buildings should be remOdeled in or
der TO obtain better ventilation and
more light, and that ample facilities
should be provided employees, far
from the rooms in which meat was
prepared for food. to prevent contain
ination.
Speaking for the live stock inter
ests and packers, Skinner assured the
president that the packers author
lied him to state that the president
would appoint a commission of high
grade sanitation experts, including
one practical man, yersed In inspec'
tion and animal husbandry, and they
would be glad to adopt any sugges,
tions the commission might make.
Skinner went a step further than
that which the packing houses pro-
p-sed He urged the president TO APP

DANE AND MEXICAN
FIGHT FOR CHAMPIONSHIP.

Los Angeles, Calf, May 25.-The
twenty-round fight for the light
weight championship between Pat
Ting Nelson and Aurelio Herrera, the
Mexican fighter, which had originally
been set for May IL, but was post
poned on account of the disturbed
conditions following the earthquake,
will take place this evening before the
Pacific Coast Athletic club. 1t is re-
ported that both fighters are in ex-
cellent condition and that a highly
interesting contest may be expected.
Herrera will make strong bid for
the title now held by the Dane. Her
reras admirers maintain that Nelson
did not really defeat Herrera the last
time the two met in the ring, and
they feel confident that Herrera will
be able to knock out his opponent.
Nelson, on the other hand, does not
seem to doubt for a moment that he
will be able to down the sDunky Mex
lean. Betting is practically at any
odds on either fighter and there seems
to be no general favorite.
