A MOVEMENT is on fOOt Tor
the establishment of another
county road, besides the one in
which the Commercial Club is
interested. This road will ex-
tend across the county from
east to west, beginning in the
town of Oulu and running due
west to this city. A. Lauri,
chairman of the town of Oulu
was in the city yesterday, talk
ing the matter over with the
mem bers of the county board
from this city. He says the
plan is feasible and that the cost
of construction Of such a road
will not be more than $1,000.
The building of such a road
would give the entire northwest
ern part of the county communi-
cation with the county seat.
The county board will be called
together, and the matter will be
submitted to that body, either
for a system of county roads or
for county aid for particular
roads. The Cornucopia road
matter is also being developed.
A com mittee Of the Commercial
Club has made an Investigation
of the entire matter and made
it's report at a meeting of the club
held Monday. Several members
of the county board were in at
tendance at the meeting and
these expressed a willingness to
assist in the general movement
of good road making. Chairman
A. III. Hosmer of the town of
Washburn, who is also chairman
of the committee on roads and
bridges of the county board, has
consented to go over the entire
route of the proposed road with
the rest of the committee and
with several members of the
Commercial club, and will report
his findings to the county board.
It is an absolute necessity
that roads should be built. This
is the only way to encourage
farmers. The towns are unable
to do this, as in many cases it is
a hard struggle to pay ordinary
expenses. If then the county
could build the roads it would be
a greater assistance to the far.
mers ALREADY hire than anything
t hat could be done for them. It
would encourage more farmers
to locate here than all the adver-
Using, and all the Grassland
cars could ever hope to encour-
age.

they want the government to
make a fiat appropriation for the
inspection. The guile of this is
obvious. The packers never un.
der any circumstances would
pay the cost Of the inspection
themselves. 1t would amount to
about five cents head ana they
would promptly charge it TO the
meat dealers, probably at the
rate Of % cents . head and the
dealers on the strength Of this
probably would put up half a
cent or cent pound. So they
would all reap a harvest and the
consumer would pay the freight
as usual.
But the way that the law
would be defeated would be that
there never would be a large
enough appropriation to pay for
all the inspectors needed. Under
the Beveridge scheme, the num-
Der would be elastic. Each
packer would pay for as many
inspectors as the number of cat
tie he killed warranted. and if
there were any sudden bulge in
the trade as happened when the
Germans recently We're trying
to import 100000 worth of
mea, ahead of the new tariff law,
the force of inspectors could be
expanded to meet the demand
That is what the Department of
Agricultural has been recon-
mending for years and the pack
ers begged for permission topay
extra inspectors out of their own
pockets when the German tariff
raise was imminent. Now they
are protesting that they could
never stand the expense, But
the expense is not what they OBJ
ject to. They are trying to
evade adequate and legitimate
inspection.
Thus the bill has been blocked
in the house fora time and there
were rumors early this week
that the President had weakened
and was going to let the packers
have their own way. But this is
not likely. The bill will be pass
ed all right and the elastic force
of inspectors will become Il reali-
ty as the Department of Agri-
culture has wished for years.
The packers have used all
sorts of devices to bring pres
sure on Congress. They have
attempted to whip the live stock
producers into line and make
them fight against the inspection
measure on the ground that it
would force the price of cattle
down so that there would not
longer be any money in it. But
the live stock men have not re.
sponded very generally and for
once it looks as though the Beef
Trust were fighting losing
game. The bill of the Beef Trust
to increase the time that animals
may be held on tbs cars without
food. water or rest has proba-
bly, been killed by this exposure
because much Of the deceased
mutilated and unfit meat comes
from the mistreatment of cat
tie in transit.

If 1T is true that the Prentice
brown stone quarry will soon be
in operation with a large crew
of men. it means that it will be a
great thing for this city. But
then this city is better to-
day than it ever was. There is
M ore actual business being done
here now than was ever done
here before. More money is
being paid out for labor, More
improvements of substantial
nature. More faith is shown in
the city by business men than at
any time before in the history of
the community.

Notes From Washington
From Our Regular Correspondent.

Not for years has there been
such a surprise in political and
commercial circles as has been
caused by the beef scandal ex-
posures in Chicago. The row
was precipitated SO suddenly too
that it has proved the most
a 5 tonishing. Between the pas
sage Of the innocent looking
Beveridge Amendment Of the
A gricultural Bill less than a
week ago, to the present STAN
peding of interests and fighting
to get the measure through Con-
gress and fighting to get it mo-
difed, there has been but a short
time yet it has seemed long and
many things have happened.
It will be recollected the day
that the Agricultural Depart
ment Appropriation bill went
through the Senate. there was
tackled to it a rider in the form
of an amendment by Senator
B everidge providing for thor
ough system of inspection in all
d departments of the packing
house. This inspection was to
cover meats for sale in this coun-
try as well as abroad. Most
people know Of course that meat
for export has to be officially in
spected both before and after it
is killed and is labeled with a
6 overnment tag certifying that
it is free from disease. The
government pays for this inspec-
tion and has it's own men sta
toned in as many of the packing
houses as it has men to station.
Preference is given to the export
houses for meat cannot be sold
abroad without the guarantee of
the government.
Now the Beverage Amend
ment not only provided for all of
the slaughter houses but for all
of the various products that the
packers produces and in addi-
tion provided that the packers
should pay for the inspection.
This was regarded as rather
drastic measure, and rathar to
the surprise of all observers, it
went through without even di.
vision being called for. Then
the story came out and it has
been causing sensation ever
since. 1t seems that the Presi.
dent some time ago sent two
personal representatives, the
Commissioner of Labor, Chas.
p. Neill and a Mr.. Jas. B. Rey-
nolds, who was in no way con-
nected with the government SER
vice, on tour CT inspection of
the Chicago packing houses.
This action was due to a very
horrible book that was printed
last winter purporting to give a
true picture of life in the pack
ing district. Some of the pic
lures of filth, unsanitary condi-
tions aud other revolving details
related in the book were entirely
past belief. Yet when the two
commissioners quietly went and
as quietly returned. they report
ed verbally to the President that
the book was not overdrawn and
that the conditions there were
about as bad as they could be
pictured. Hence the Beveridge
Amendment.
The packing interests knew
that this provision was being
forced through, but the Presi-
dent held the report of his com
missioners as a club over the
heads of the packers and warned
them that if they attempted to
block the bill in Congress, he
would make the report public.

them that if they attempted to

AS it happened the papers got
hold of the story and the report

the first place, for there, have
been enough disgusting details
of the packing house conditions
printed to turn the whole nation
into vegetarians if it were not
that the people as rule have
as strong stomachs as they have
short memories.
Now the fight on the Bever-
idge Amendment has been trans
ferred to the House and there is
an effort being made to nullify
the provisions of the law. The
packers do not dare to come out
and fight the inspection provision
openly. But they are making a
great fuss over the amount of
money it will cost them and say

United States VIII Support Kaiser
in His Contention in Regard

London, Jan. 15.-The Associated
Press is advised that Ambassador
White, representing the U. S. at the
Moroccan conference at Algeciras, will
support the German contention both
as to the "open door" in Morocco and
as to an international commission to
control the policing Of the country. 1t
Is suggested that this makes the adop-
tion of the German view probable,
particularly in the light of the fact
that Russia has shown marked in
difference to the appeal Of France for
support. The influence of the Vatican
is also said to be hostile to France.
