that he will spend considerable time

GA R BAGE
RANCH
HEALTH AUTHORITIES CALLED
TO A8ATE A NUISANCE
Horses Sick and Hogs Diseased at a
Place Just Outside the Limits
Of the City.

DR.. Young, state veterinarian, and
City Health Inspector Shorten visited
the ranch owned and operated by a
man named Larson near the city lin
its this morning. and said they found
the place TO be In an extremely filthy
and unhealthful condition. They found
rubbish which appeared TO have been
accommodating for years, piled up
around the place. and the odor is de-
scribed as being sickening.
The visit OF the health officers dis
closed the fact that Larson has been
keeping sick horses and pigs. The
horses were in a pitiful condition, and
some of the pigs are said to be ef-
fectcd With blood poisoning.
The matter has been reported to
the city and county authorities. and
immediate steps Will be taken to have
the ranch cleaned up and the sick ami
mails taken care of.
The ranch is just north OF the city
limits and is under the jurisdiction Of
the county. II the county does not
take action ut once. Health Inspec-
tor Shorten says that he will take
up the case and turn 1t over TO the
state authorities He states further
that the present condition of the Lar
son place is dangerous to the health
of the community. He describes the
ranch as being "A disease breeding
howell"
Many complaints have come 10 the
city health department lately about
the Larson ranch People living in
that vicinity say that the odor from
the place has almost driven them from
their homes at times.
Reports that hogs infected with dis
case have recently been sold to some
of the Chinese restaurants and served
up to the people of Ogden led to this
, investigation The officers discovered
that diseased hog had been purchas-
ed from the Larson pens b. one of the
Chinese restaurant keepers.

Plttsburg. July 22.-The McClintic-
Marshall Construction company has
been given the contract to construct
the new S1,500,0OO steel tube plant
for the Republic Iron and Steel COM
pany at HaZletOn. O., and work Will
be started within a few days
The announcement was made some
weeks ago that the Republic Iron and
Steel company intended to enter the
steel pipe business, and that a site
been selected on property already
owned by the company near its
Youngstown, O.. plant. A subsidiary
company was formed called the Halle

pushed and estimates taken on the
buildings.
The contract, finally awarded. calls
for the construction OF three struc-
lures. One viii be known as the
threading and shipping building. a sec
ond is the skelp furnace department.
and the third the socket and black
smith shops.
The decision of the Republic COM
pany TO enter the pipe and tube busi-
ness has caused much comment in
steel circles II Is said among steel
men in Pttsburg that the decision Is
largely due 10 the activity Of John w.
Gates, one of theprime factors of the
company, and 1t Is intimated that the
new branch of the trade thus taken
will force some changes in the near
future, one of which may be the ANAL
gamation of the Republic, either with
the Steel corporation or with the pro-
posed new steel combine of independ-
ents that has been under discussion
for several months.
