Sioux Falls-The contract is finally
let for the erection Of the packing
plant in this city by the Morrell CON-
pany. Collins BROS. Co, Of Rock Is
land, H., are the successful contrac-
tors, and it is understood that there
are seven large buildings in the group,
one, the largest to be 115x130, seven
stories in heighth. All are large, but
the stock pavilion covers the most
ground, being 200 feet square The
construction price is close to n mil
lion dollars, the plant to be fully
equipped and ready for operation
within ten months, and when COM
r1eted will emnloy about F01 hands.
The present plant in this city now
used by this company is entirely inaf-

demands. In fact, their hog receipts
have been so large on some oc asions
that they have been compelled to re-
shin to their Iowa plant in order to
hold the trade and do the business.
Sioux Falls is not hoasting any OF
the good things coming this wav. but
it looks very much like the Power

PLEASES SCHURMAN
Cornell President Sees Good In
Big Philanthropy Scheme.
Believes Congress Should Grant Re-
quest for National Charter

Small Detail.

Ithaca, N. Y. - In an address
before the Council congress on
Friday night President Jacob Gould
Schurman of Cornell commended the
scheme for the Rockefeller foundation
for which congress has been asked
for q national charter. President
Schurman devoted his entire speech
Of several thousand words to this sub
ject and in summing up he said:
Il recognize that section No. 2 of the
bill, which defines the object of the
Rockefeller foundation, authorizes and
empowers hat foundation to do any
thing and everything which may pro-
mote and advance human civilization,
that is to say, morals and religion, art
and science. manners and social inter-
course, and all that concerns the po-
litical. economic, and material well
being of individuals and communities.
This is a vast field for the exercise of
philanthropy.
But Mr.. Rockefeller has conceived
a vast scheme of philanthropy, for the
benefit of his fellow citizens and man.
kind. His character, ability and or.
ganizing skill are adequate guarantees
hat he will carry out his scheme
wisely and successfully, with meal.
culable benefit and blessing to man.
kind. 1t is in the interest of the ma.
ton that he be given a free hand in
the exercise of his colossal benefi-
cence. So long as he is active or his
influence remains it would be wise
and safe to give the foundation the
sort of organization he desires. Meth
er now nor hereafter does it seem nee
essary to limit the scope of his benefi-
cence, which is c~oextensive with the
efforts of mankind to attain a higher
civilization.
The only change | would desire to
see In the proposed bill is the total or
partial elimination of the method of
selecting trustees by cooperation. The
organization might well be left a close
corporation, if Mr.. Rockefeller so de-
sires, for a generation. But after that
time | am confident that it would inure
both to the Efficiency of the foundation
and to the public welfare-to say moth
ing of the satisfaction OF the sentiment
of a democracy-if the majority of the
trustees were appointed by the presi,
dent of the United States, with the
advice and consent of the senate, or
selected by some other high abiding,
governmental agencies that may fairly
be regarded as representing the peo-
pie of the United States, whose well
fare is the primary object of the i'm
mense and glorious ~benefaction."
