IMMENSE CONCRETE FLOOR.

Contract has been let by the Port
land Union Stockyards Company for
what will probably be the biggest
single concrete floor in the world. It
will also be the first Of its kind ever

and plank flooring used in the large
stockyards in packing house centers
of the country. When completed,
this concrete floor, five inches In
thickness will cover 40 acres on the
Peninsula, but the contract which was
signed up with the Northwest Bridge
Company, Saturday will cover about
half that area. This, it Is figured,
will be sufficient to take care of
the immediate needs OF the new
packingtown district, which will be
In operation some time the latter
part of May or the first OF June. The
contract runs into the hundreds of
thousands Of dollars, the exact
amount not being divulged by the Of
ficials of the stockyard company or
the contractors.

TRIO OF BAD EGGS.

The police department has had Its
hands full this week looking after
lost, strayed or stolen children. On
Monday two children, Willie and
Louie Saltman, blew into town and
we're found wandering aimlessly
around by Officer Dunbar. Upon be.
ing questioned they said they were
from Winnipeg, Man, and had been
brought to st. Johns and then de'
serted by a man named John" but
could not tell whether his last name
was doe" or something else. Chief
Black took them to Portland where
they stuck to their story until their
mother appeared at the police station
looking for them. II then turned
out that they had been selling papers
in that city spent the money and
we're afraid to go home.
Tuesday evening officer Mckinney
rounded up youngster about six
years of age who claimed that he
had come to st. Johns to visit MS
grandmother. He gave different ad'
dresses as her residence, but when
officers accompanied the youngster
tn the numbers he designated, no
old lady answering the description
could be found. Some of the tales
no told would have done credit to
boys twice his age. For one so
young he was certainly badly afflict-
cd with the disease that killed Annias
and saphira. After great deal OF
investigation his father was located
at Portland, and the lad was taken
home.

WITH PEOPLE OF LONG LIFE.
Men Of 70 Not Regarded as Old
Simple Life and Longevity.

In Norfolk. England, there are
in every village individuals OF
more than so years Of age
and not infrequently one or two
over 80, and those of 70 and upward
are regarded as not even old. Many
farm laborers Of 10 are quite hale and
hearty, working from early morning
up 10 five and six o'clock in the even.
ing, and some are so vigorous as to
earn a full mans wages.
And the women in the country,
writes a correspondent, are more tena-
cious of life perhaps than are the men.
In one village personally known to me,
containing about 300 people, within
the past six months have died three
women Of more than 90 years Of age,
the Oldest Of these being no less than
80. IN another Norfolk village with
inhabitants to the number of 400 there
live man Of s5, woman OF 80,
woman of SO, a woman Of 81, and
several Of both sexes over so. In yet
another village there is q blacksmith
aged se and the widow Of country
medical practitioner whose years
mount up to 80.
This longevity Of the Norfolk peas
ant. comments the Lancet. has very
interesting pathological side to it. The
chief enemy Of the farm laborer OF the
eastern counties from the standpoint
Of health Is rheumatism. Not many
reach even middle age without having
been the victims Of rheumatism, and
a large number are crippled in their
old age by this disease. But in spite
OF this the average Of longevity seems
to be very high, although as well as
rheumatism he has to contend with
the lack Of adequate housing accom-
modation and want Of proper sanitary
arrangements. That to eat sparingly
OF plain wholesome food. to be much
in the open air and to work sufficient
" to occupy the mind and to exercise
the body viii enable q man TO defy
more OF less the evils Of environment
would seem to be shown By the tough
ness Of the Norfolk laborer.

Phases of Sugar Industry

Mr.. CLAY reviewed the establish

Of the property Of the trust vas not
greater than $4,000 900. according 70
Mr. CLAY. the sugar trust stocked the
company al s5o.O00.000 lie said that
the concessions in the duty ON raw
sugar from the Hawaiian Islands Por-
to Rico. Cuba. and the Philippine Is
lands during the last ten years
amounted TO s2f2 .220.773. Of which,
he said. the treasury Of the United
States or the American people had
received no benefit The most
grasping and uneouseionable trust to
be found anywhere is the American
Sugar Refining company" added Mr..
Clay. commonly called the Sugar
Trust. The steel trust and the stan

INSCRIPTIONS conduct are sucking
babes in comparison with the sugar
trust"
Mr.. Clay reviewed cases and claims
Of the government pending against

ing the government. who have made
an investigation into these fraudu-
lent transactions" he continued. be
lieve that the American Sugar Rein
ing company has robbed the treasury
of more than $4,000, 600 justly due the
treasury. II deserves no favors al the
hands Of congress and most assured
ly no fayors at the hands Of congress.
The criminal and civil laws ought TO
be vigorously enforced against il, and
the best way To destroy il is TO give
Il healthy foreign competition"
II the sugar trust can find a de-
fender on the floor Of the senate. then
we have reached a condition Of af.
fairs most deplorable If We are to
continue to legislate millions Of pro

men at the expense of the American
