ing establishments Of Chicago issued i
joint statement replying to the charges
made IN the Neill and Reynolds report
Of their investigation OF the packing
plants and President Roosevelts mes
sage to congress.
In this statement the packers assert
that their plants are kept clean. their
methods of manufacture are sanitary.
their products wholesome and that for
years doctors, chemists, sanitarians
and official investigators from nearly
every civilized nation on earth who
have made examinations Of the man
ner in which the meat packing plants
are conducted have been entirely salts

tons existing in this industry Despite
this fact the packers assert that they
stand ready to adept any practical sug-
gestion in the line of Improvement.
The packing companies who affixed
their signatures TO the statement are

The statement, which bears the Off
cial signature of each of these corpora
tons, follows in part:
The question raised as to whether
diseased meats are sold by our pack
ing houses is question on which the
whole world wants the facts, and the
truth must be told If the entire meat
and live stock industry is to have a
square deal This vital side of the
whole question, however, is absolutely
ignored in President Roosevelt's mes
sage and all but omitted from notice in
the Neill-Reynolds report
Every pound of meat in our pack
ing houses comes from animals which
are inspected and passed by trained
veterinary agents of the department Of
agriculture This is the absolute fact.
We are not Interested in animals CON
iemned before slaughter. We do not
buy them. Every animal bought by us
is Inspected both before and after
slaughter in accordance with the strict
est inspection regulations ever devised
in any country. not even excepting
Germany"

BEEF BILL CHANGED.
House Committee Makes Changes In
Senator Beveridge's Measure.

House Committee Makes Changes In
Senator Beveridge's Measure.
Washington, June 5.-Comparison Of
the bill prepared by the Wadsworth
subcommittee of the committee on
agriculture with the drastic provisions
of the Beveridge bill shows striking
omissions of certain provisions CON
tanned in the latter and general modi-
fication of all other provisions.
For the mandatory declaration that
there "shall be" an inspection of all
meat and meat products prepared for
Interstate commerce the subcommittee
bill says that the secretary of agricul-
ture "at his discretion may cause such
examination and inspection" to be
made.
In the provision relating to inspec-
ton the subcommittee bill says that
meat shall be condemned which has be-
come unfit for human food, the more
drastic provisions of the Beveridge act
that it shall be condemned if found to
be unsound, unhealthful or in any way
unfit for human food" being omitted.

act requiring the examination of
Strengthening establishments at all
hours of the day and night and giving
free access to all parts of the establish
ments at any hour intended to guard
against the practice of slaughtering
diseased animals at night, are carefully
left out of the subcommittee substi-
tute. There is instead merely the pro-
vision that inspectors shall have access
at all times.
1t is made apparent by the work of
the packers friends in the house that
the complete inspection of all meat
products is not intended. In the sec
lions prescribing regulations for the
inspection both of meat and canned
goods the words amy establishment
wheEe government inspection is main
tained' are repeatedly used. From
this the Inference is clear that the
house substitute, if passed, would Gre
ate two classes of packing houses, one
in which the products are inspected
and another in which they are not.
This, taken in connection with some
general declarations in the bill that all
meat shall be inspected, makes it evil
dent that its trainers contemplate some
tightening Of the public purse strings
calculated to render thorough inspec-
ton of all packing houses impossible
because of a lack of inspectors.

Blowing wells, sometimes known as
breathing wells, are now being inves-
tigated by the United States geological
survey The best known examples Of
this type Of well are found through
out Nebraska. The force of the air
current in one Of the Louisiana wells
is sufficient to keep mans hat sus-
pended above it. Such phenomena are
mainly due to changes in atmospheric
pressure.
Very curious is the method of fishing
followed by the Chinese in the strait Of
Malacca. The fisherman let's down
from the side Of the boat screen Qf
white canvas stretched on wood. The
shoal of fish mistake this for some
floating obstruction and try to leap
over it, with the result that the fish
jump into the boat and are thus cap
tured. This method is employed by
Malays in their waters.
What is claimed to be the best meth
cd of cooking potatoes has been discov-
cred in a Missouri jail. A visitor to
the jail noticed a convict drop some
thing into pot of boiling pitch which
was being used in some work. Much
to the visitors surprise a well cooked
potato was taken out a few minutes
later and proved to have flavor much
better than as if it were cooked in the
ordinary way. The potato had abso-
lutely no taste of the pitch.

Upton Sinclair Urges
President to Take
Drastic Action

Especial Dispatch to The Silver State.)
Jew YORK, May 28.-Upton Sim
y clair, the author and reformer, has
urged President Roosevelt to make
public the Neill report on the condi-
tions of the great packing houses of
Chicago.
Sinclair, in his letter to the president,
declares that spoiled hams, totally un-
fit for consumption, are treated chemi-
cally so as to make them to all appear
ances fit for human food.
He also charges that tainted meats
are put on the market and that sau-
sages, made up of bad meats, are dyed
and colored to give them "healthy''
appearance.
n his letter, Sinclair practically re-
iterates all of the startling charges
made against the big packing house, of
Chicago in his book, .sThe Jungle"

Bodies Badly Bruised.
The bodies of the five victims of the
disaster are all badly bruised and give
mute evidence of the terrific force OF
the water as it struck the camp of the
Golconda Cattle Company.
An inquest was held by the local JUS
tice of the peace this afternoon, hut
at late hour no verdict had been ron
dered.
The testimony tended to show that
the heavy rainfall in the mountains
above Pole creek canyon, where the two
Dutertre reservoirs are located, amount.
ing almost to a cloudburst, ovarhur-
dened the lower dam, causing the latter
to give way
Thousands of gallons of water were
ooesd, and this, with the great volume
of water that poured into Pole creek
canyon from the surrounding ,aoln-
tains, caused terrific flood.
This canyon is extremely narrow in
places, and the descent sharp. II was
greatly due to these conditions that the
wall of water descended with such ter
rife force.
Survivor Tells Of Flood.

of the disaster:
