Practical confirmation of the re-
port that this section Is within a
short time to have packing plant
which will slaughter for local and
state consumption several hundred
head of stock each month, was re-
ceived yesterday John Stemper,
who sold his meat market and all
other interests to company headed
by John Mungerson, the wealthy
rancher, left yesterday morning for
ogden and Salt Lake. ostensibly on
a pleasure trip. but really, 1t is stat
ed. for the purpose of securing the
machinery and other fixtures for the
plant. This step gives assurance that
the plant is a go and large indus
try will be added to the district.
Mr.. Stemper will he absent from
the district for about a fortnight

which will be shipped in as soon as
the building is ready to receive equip

on the ranch below Ely City, sold by
Mr.. Stemper to the company and. 1t

on the foundations within the next
few days.
The building will he at the start

tanning 10 or 2 rooms. The exact
dimensions of the structure cannot
be ascertained but it is understood
that 1t will be large The oapitaliza-
tion of the controlling company while
not definitely known is said to be

The Stemper ranch, which is situ-

CITY. will be easily accessible for
hauling in and loading and unloading

While the exact equipment of the

ent 1t Is understood that the best ma
ehirery of the latest pattern will be
used in every department.
The building of the packing plant
will give the greatest indication yet
had of return of confidence in local
business conditions. That men of
means in this district are willing to
risk their money in an investment of
this kind, which will without doubt
be one returning large profits after
time. is excellent demonstration of
the rise of the local financial bar

time. 1t is stated, and the work of
construction be started as soon as
materials can be secured for the pur-

TO INVESTIGATE
RATE INCREASE
Interstate Commission Will
Initiate Probe.
ACTS ON ITS own MOTION

Has No Power to Prevent the Putting
in Force of New Schedules, but Has
Unlimited Power of investigation
for the Purpose of Determining
Whether or Not the Advance Is
Justified.
Washington, July 28.-The inter
state commerce commission has is
sued a statement to the effect that
without waiting for the filing of for
NAL complaints it will institute an in
vestigation of its own motion for the
purpose of determining whether or
not advances in freight rates are JUS
tilted.
The commission" the statement
SAYS. has no authority to suspend
proposed advance in rates and can
order reduction of the advanced rates
only as the result of an investigation
after the advanced rates have become
effective; but the commission, while
1t could make no effective order prior
to the actual advancing of the rates,
has almost unlimited power of inyesti-
cation and it is understood that II the
tariffs filed with the commission show
general increases the commission,
without waiting for the filing of for
NAL complaints, will institute an In
vestigatiOn on its own motion for the
purpose of determining whether or
not the advances are justified. Such
general information would enable it
to handle very promptly any COM
plant which may be filed against ad-
vanced rates.
The commission is having a close
check made of all advances in freight
rates. The commission, of course,
has no official information of the pro-
posed advances until they are set
forth in tariffs, which are required by
law to be filed with the commission
thirty days in advance of their effec-
tive date. So far the principal ad-
vances disclosed in the tariffs filed
are in the rates on packing house
products, grain and grain products
from Ohio river crossings to South
eastern territory, ranging from 2 to 4
cents per hundred pounds, according
to the commodity; rates on sugar
from Atlantic seaboard points and
New Orleans to Chicago, Duluth, St.
Paul and other Northweste tern points of
2 cents per hundred pounds; class
rates from Mississippi river points
and Kansas City to Texas common
points, ranging from 10 cents on first
/ class to 4 cents on the lowest class"

CHEERS FOR THE SULTAN
Big Demonstration Outside Palace at
ConstantinopIe.

Constantinople, July 2S.-Demon-
strations over the new Turkish con-
stitution, which was promulgated July
"a, continue. A crowd of over 200,0 900
persons gathered outside the palace
and cheered the sultan.
Persian subjects in Constantine
pie have telegraphed the shah inform
ing him that the sultan has granted
constitution to his subjects and de-
claring that If the Persian constitution
is not restored they all will adopt
Ottoman nationality.
The demonstrations of popular joy
have attained such proportions that
the government decided it advisable
to remind the public that the millen-
ium had not yet arrived and an Off
cial communication was made public
inviting the public to remain calm and
not strive for impossible things. The
notice adds that preparations are
making for the holding of elections
with the view of assembling the new
parliament In the fall.

population here when it became known
that the Venezuelan consul, Senor Lo-
peg, who took refuge in the German
consulate after a mob of Curacao ma
tives had stormed the Venezuelan con-
sulate, had taken passage for Porto
CabellO on the steamer MaracaibO.
The steamer arrived at 6 o'clock in
the evening and the consul boarded
her and proceeded for Venezuela.
The population of the island is
quite calm. The troops have been
withdrawn and returned to barracks.
No casualties resulted from the attack
made on the dwelling of a Venezuelan
resident and the demonstration before
the residence of the Venezuelan con-
sui.
AS Consul Lopez was going from his
residence to the consulate, escorted
by armed troops, to remove the Off
cial papers, the mob nearly caught
him, but he was saved by the arrival
of more troops.
The consul's wife and children were
escorted to the steamer Maracaibo by
the attorney general They were not
molested. A strong armed force took
the consul on board the steamer,
which was guarded by troops up to
the moment of her departure for
Porto Cabello. Every possible protec-
tion was accorded the consul by the
Willemstad authorities and with the
exception of few insignificant
bruises caused by stones thrown at
him, he was not harmed

Chicago, July 28.-The national con-

was called to order at s. o'clock Mon
day evening in Orchestra hall.
Thomas l.. Hisgen of Massachusetts
and Milton w Howard of Fort Payne,
Ala, seem to be the leading candi-
dates for the presidential nomina,
ton Mr.. Hisgen is strongly support
ed by the Eastern delegations, while
the South and portions of the West
are inclined towards Mr.. Howard. The
fight is open and, according to Mr..
Hearst and other men prominent in
the organization, the nomination will
not be dictated or influenced in any
manner.
The platform to be adopted will, 1t
is expected, contain a radical declara-
tion in favor of an anti-injunction
measure. 1t is the expressed belief of
many of the delegates to the present
convention that the declarations of
the Republican and Democratic par.
ties son the injunction question were
feeble and indefinite. 1t is asserted
that the Independence platform will
not be open to this criticism.

a number of years was secretary of
