FOR PURE FOOD
Chicago Manufacturers Make Move In
This Direction.


CHICAGO, July 1T,-At a meeting Of
manufacturers Of different articles Of
food, held here today, an attempt to
form a National Food Manufacturers
association proved futile. The meet
ing, which was announced as an IN
formal gathering" also failed TO ap-
prove the appointment of a committee
to draw up a form CT guarantee TO be
used by all food manufacturers as
designated by the new pure food law.
The debate over these propositions was
prolonged, and at times rather warm,
but both were finally defeated.
Late In the day II was decided to re-
quest of the National Pure Food Com
mission, now in annual session at
Hartford, Conn, the adoption OF rules
and regulations determining the scope
of the new pure food law and securing
thereby a uniform regulation in all the
States of the Union.

work was all new except one locust
hub, which was found to be sound
and was part of front wheel.
The axles were OF wood, and of the
same pattern as were the prairie
schooners of so years ago. Beneath
the rear axle hung the familiar pail
full of tar. 1t is impossible to use
grease on these wagons without final

MEEKER REACHES. THE EAST.
Pioneer and Ok Team Arrive in Sioux
City-Cross State of Ohio.

Ezra, who is marking the trail
across the continent, has arrived at
Sioux City, Iowa. A dispatch from
that city says:
Starting from the Pacific coast
and driving an OK team, behind
which he hitched a wagon, in every
detail like the prairie schooner with
which so many people crossed the
Rocky mountains in the early SOS to
seek gold and homes in the west,
Ezra Meeker, aged rs years, of Sc
attic, Wash. has Just completed a
return trip to Iowa, and he states
that he has stood the trip so we'll
that he now proposes to travel all
the way to Ohio and the east with
the same outfit.
After winding his way through
and over the various ranges of
mountains he entered the state of
Nebraska last week. He followed as
closely as possible the old Oregon
trial. From Collins, Neb., he fol-
lowed the North Platte river to
Payne, Ia, on the Missouri river
along exactly the same road as in
the SOS.
"The old wagon which he used
many years ago was partly repre-
sented on this trip. for he had made
new wagon from parts Of a num-

eral statutes all purchases of mater
ials and supplies must be made after
due competition, except in cases of
public exigency requiring immediate
delivery. In all cases in which con-
tinuing payments are made. even
such small monthly amounts as tele-
phone service, office rent, hire of
teams and animals and the like, for
NAL contracts must be executed
| Thousands of these contracts pass
through the office of the reclamation
service every year and the require
ments concerning their execution are
so much more strict than the pre-
vailing customs in business that d
large amount of correspondence is
required to have them put into ac-
ceptable form.
The accounting under the reclama-
ton act has presented conditions
which are unusual in governmental
work Instead of mere record of
expenditures showing the character
of the expense the books must show
the purpose of every expenditure,
the total cost of each irrigation pro-
iect and of its principal features, for
the act practically makes of the rec
lamation fund a working capital to
be used in irrigation construction
and later to be charged against the
lands reclaimed and collected from
the owners.
1t is therefore essentially a COM
mercial enterprise, in every phase
of it's bookkeeping, except as to the
one element of profit, which is not
included, as the law provides for
charging only the actual cost of con-
struction.
During the four years of opera
lions under the act the number of
vouchers recorded is approximately
$1,000, amounting TO something
over $14,000,000. Many of these
vouchers have been chargeable to
more than one project and the total
number of original entries is about
30 per cent more than the number of
vouchers These charges have been
analyzed into classes according to
the nature and the purpose of the
expenditure, as a part of the neces-
sary work of cost-keeping, SO that
the entire number of postings is in
excess of 100000. Accuracy is Sc
cured by comparison of tbs books in
the general office at Washington
with the records of the treasury de-
partment and with those kept on the
several projects in the field.-Morris
