GARBAGE SCHEME

BUILT NEAR cREMAToRY.

Salt Lake City is up against it once
more in the matter of dumping ground
Tor the city's garbage At a meeting held
yesterday morning in the office of the
health commissioner at which were pres
ent Health Commissioner Stewart, Mayor
thompson, sCOUncllmen Carter and
. Don. Superintendent Welby of the Rio
Grande Western. and Farley L. Williams
of the Oregon Short Line. Mr.. Welby
positively declined to approve the plans
OF the sanitary committee in the matter
of a spur track to the city sewer farm.
At meeting held Friday morning ar
ranSements were practically consum-
mated by which the joint track of the

with 100 feet of track to be constructed
from there to the sewage farm. Details
Of the cost to the city were gone into
and Mr. Williams gave it as his opinion
that there was nothing that could pos
sibly interfere with the plans Mr. Welby
was not at the meeting, however. and in
order that his official sanction might be
obtained with as little delay as posi-
Die, second meeting was called for yes
terdav morning. The scheme was out
lined to Mr. Welby at this meeting but
instead of welcoming il with open arms
ne quietly explained TO the meeting that
1t was impracticable and could not be
entertained for = moment.
Mr. Nelby's main objection was that

OF the land now occupied by it will form

also discussed. but to do this it would
be necessary for the tracks to cross the

points, and this the road is unwilling TO
allow.
incinerating Plant Idea.
Several suggestions made were found to
be impracticable and in the end the idea
of utilizing the sewage farm as a dump
ing ground was given up in it's entirely.
At this point Simon Bamberger asked
permission to enter the uiscussior-and
an executive session followed None of
the men in it were willing to say any
thing as to the nature of the proposisiou
submitted by Mr.. Bamberger, but IT is
generally believed that this had TO do
with the construction of an incinerating
plant not far from the site of the present
crematOry. to which ali garbage could
be hauled by wagon and destroyed in a
sanitary manner with little incOnyen-
fence Nothing definite in the way of
a conclusion was reached during the
meeting. but another meeting will be
held Tuesday. when il is expected the
exact nature of the plans adopted will
be made known During the meeting
much stress was laid on the necessity for
prompt action. and il is likely that. once
a definite plan is decided on little time

TARIFF REDUCTION AND MAN
UFACTURING.

We commend to the consideration
of our stand-pat friends the follow
ing statement, which appears in a
recent issue Of that interesting publi-
cation known as Daily Consular and
Trade Reports, issued by the eDpart-
ment of Commerce and Labor:
"Consul R. S. Chiffon, Jr., of To-
ronto, writes that, according to
Canadian newspaper, the practical
working Of the new Canadian tariff
as exemplifed in the period extend
ing from December to May, shows
that the result is a scaling down of
the duties which the consumers have
to pay. The average rate of duty
collected in the six months has been
26.74 per cent, as compared with
27.O5 per cent in the corresponding
months Of the previous year. If the
free imports are added, it is found
that the average rate of duty all
round has been 1881 per cent, as
against 1851 per cent under the for
mer tariff; and while the duties have
been thus reduced, the manufactur-
ing industries of the country were
never in better condition.
Comment would seem to be super
fuous. If Canadian manufacturing
industries "were never in better
co7dltion," Notwithstanding the re-
duction of the tariff tax, how can
the standpatters hope to convince the
people of the United States, through
the advancing Of mere theories, that
our tariff could not be revised with

NEW YORK ABANDONED
FARMS.

It appears from reports Of the Ag-
ricultural Department that the de-
cline of farm population which has
been noted in New England in the
past four decades has also become
noticeable in New York to an extent
that has called for some movement
to prevent a further decrease in farm
interest. 1t is shown by these re-
ports that in six Of the leading agri-
cultural counties in New York there
has been a decline in the total farm
valuation Of from 20 to 10 per cent
since 1880, and that the abandoned
farms in the State of New York
amount to an area of over 1000, 900
acres. Many farms can be bought
today at so per cent less than the
cost Of the buildings thereon. The
government officials making this re-
port say in their summary:
"The reason for the depopulation
and heavily decreased value in the
farms of the state since 1890 is not
because of any deterioration of soil,
but is due rather to the migration of
the village and country population
to the cities and Western States,
which began in the middle '9Os, and
to the lack of any action by the
state to encourage the reclamation of
the abandoned and depopulated
farms. IF something is not done
soon by the state to encourage the
upbuilding of the agricultural dis
tricts-a slight increase in wealth
and population manifested in the
last three years making the present
time opportune for such action
the opportunity will be lost and the
state Of the farmer will again lapse
into the unfortunate condition in
which it has been since the 'SOs,
with the prospect that the conditions
will become worse than they were
during the census-taking Of 1900."

FARMERS AND WAREHOUSE
FOLKS HOLD CONFERENCE.

There was series of meetings in
progress all day yesterday with the
purpose of harmonizing the demands
Of the Farmers Union with the
plans of the Farmers and Merchants
Warehouse company, but no decisive
action was taken.
First there was general meeting
of farmers and then a secret session
Of the Farmers Union, after which
there was an open meeting of the
farmers. There was then a confer
ence with the lessees of the Farmers
and Merchants warehouse, who are
w. B. Griffin and j. E. Drewry, at
which there was also a large repre-
sentation of the stockholders and di-
rectors of the warehouse company.
The lessees made their PROPOSE
tions to the Farmers Union, as fol-
fows:
1. That they would rent one Of the
three rooms of the warehouse and
pool interests in the whole business
2. That they would rent two rooms
and not pool.
3. That they would rent the two
rooms in the whole warehouse if the
Union would employ the lessees at
the same salary as they have already
agreed to give S. c. Mitchell as the
manager Of an independent ware
house.
The Farmers Union turned down
all three propositions and proposed
only that they would rent one room
at the same price paid by the les
sees. Definite action, however, was
postponed until next Friday.
H. H. Bass and A. E. Futral, eth
er one, stated that they would be
willing to stand back Of the contract
to employ all three of the men men
toned, Messrs. Mitchell, Griffin and
Drewry, at the price named, in con-
sideration of receiving any surplus
profits after paying them and also
paying the stockholders the guaran-
teed eight per cent.-Griffin News.
