When the matter Of a needed

that the economic plans of the
county commissioners will not in

is demonstrated in the manner in

purchased. trial bench and filing

quarters convenient for the dis

ELECTRIC FORCE.

Electric energy Will be profitably

a short time." Is the statement of
Danville Decker, local manager of the
Utah Light & Railway company. and
then will come the Harvesting Of more
water power and the converting Of
coal energy into electric power at the
coal mines and the transmission Of
that subtle power to distant centers
of population.
The problem OF long g-distance trans
mission has been solved, but the COM
mercial use OF long-distance power is
a question of the returns to be obtain
ed on the capital invested. With
heavy copper wires thoroughly insu-
lated. carrying a voltage of 100000,
electric power can be sent distance
in excess of 500 miles.
With the cost of building a power
inc somewhat reduced, 1t would be
possible to generate power at the big
coal mines of Wyoming and transmit
the power to Ogden at a cost per
horsepower below that which is now
involved in producing power from coal
delivered from those same mines.
The field of electric power is en-
larging and, looking into the future
1t is impossible to limit the possibil
tiles Of that mysterious energy.

STATE MEAT INSPECTION.

An important conference of meat
Salt Lake at which bill. to be pre-
sonted to the Utah legislature, will
be framed. calling for state inspec-
ton OF all meats. This is a move
which the public will approve. At
present the federal law enforces meat
inspection In all slaughter houses or
packing plants doing an interstate
business. but this inspection does not
apply to slaughter houses or packing
plants confining their trade TO intra-
STATE business. AS a result livestock
which would be condemned by fed
eral inspectors, are converted into
salable products for the local mar
kets Cattle afflicted with tuberculo-
sis are slaughtered and sold to the
people of Utah, the carcasses of which
would be condemned If Utah had a
law similar to the one enforced by
the federal government.
At present any packing or slaughter
ing place. operating under federal In
spection, is seriously handicapped In
competition with the slaughterlns
pens where diseased animals are not
rejected after slaughtering. For In
stance, day last week eight hogs
were condemned by the government
inspectors at the Ogden Packing COM
pany's plant. They were afflicted
with hog cholera. but the presence
of the disease was not detected until
after killing. a day prior to that the
body of large steer was condemned
ewing to the discovery of the germs
OF tuberculosis. While a packing
house under government inspection
nnnst suffer this loss, state non-reg-
ulated slaughter house can sell these
diseased carcasses to the retailers. 1t
often occur that tu3erculosis exists
and cannot be detected in meat ex-
cept by trained inspectors. All meats

houses. we know reach the public.
Much OF the intestinal disorder in
ohildren is said TO De traceable to
the eating of diseased meats and

tuberculosis bacillus by Koch, is con-
tanned In an announcement by DR.

stroyed by very simple treatment By
use OF anti-toxine. he thinks, the dis
case can soon be stamped out.

searches is soon to appear in Medical
