HOW TRUST TREATS DENVER.

The meat trust, which runs one set
of packing houses for interstate COM
merce under federal inspection, has
another plant public slaughter
house, across the Platte river, where
it kills any old kind of meat for the
people of Denver. 1t Is like dividing
even two $40 bills by sending the
good one east to a wise banker and
passing the counterfeit off on the un-
suspecting Denverite. Only, the trust
slaughter house for the Denver traIe
| handles just enough good meat 70
keep the customers from becoming
too suspicious. 1t mixes the good with
the bad. A News investigator found
this to he true. He saw the mixed
goods.
The meat trust desires to have a
monopoly on sending good meat to
those far away and handling all its
bad meat to Denver. 1t does not buy
the bad meat itself but innocently
keeps a slaughter house for those
willing to ply this nefarious trade, and
slaughters their goods without any
money charge. Thus, all the bad
meat remains in Colorado, supple
mented by just enough good meat to
supply the market. None Of the bad
meat is tolerated in interstate COM
merce.-Denver News.

law Similar to That of Oregon Will
Be Passed.

Following the example set by Wy
oming, and spurre3 on by the good
results obtained in that state, other
states in the west are taking steps to
eradicate scab from their flocks. says
theh Shepherds Bulletin.
The wyoming authorities in two
years time PRACTICAL Yeradicated
scabies from the flocks of that state.
Outbreaks have occurred from time
to time through the importation of
diseased sheep from other states, and
these outbreaks will probably contin-
ue to occur SO long as scab exists In
anv OF the states from which Wyo
ming imports sheep.
Wyoming has. however, erected a
strong barrier against her neighbors
which states now see the advantages
of cleaning up. A year ago Idahc
made important strides in tho di'
rection of a clean-up, and now Utah
has fallen In line. To protect ant
promote the sheep industry in Utal

| legislature of that state.
The measure proposes the creation
of "A rheep commission and provide
/ for the inspection of sheep, the con
troll and suppression of scab and 9th

existing law bearing on the subject.
The commission is to consist o

Today five special agents of the

Within the next few days these

People of the inland empire who
have been paying exorbitant railroad
freight rates for the past 25 years be-
cause of the greed of the coast cities
which have held the jobbing trade,
had little idea of the enormous cost
of this unjust rate, until 1t was made
plain in the interstate commerce
commission hearing in Portland this

Spokane and her jobbing territory
are paying annually to the transcon-
tinental railroads serving them over
so, 000 900 more than the same serv-
ice would cost If these goods were de-
livered at Portland or Puget sound

commission at the hearing of the Spo-
J kane rate case before Commissioner
C. A. Prouty, in Portland.
1t was reserved for Chief Engineer
A. H. Hogland of the Great Northern
to give the testimony as to the cost
! of reproduction of the Great Northern
road and it's branches in their entirety,
amounting to Sis miles of track. His
estimate was $415,167,66S, or an
average cost per mile of main track
