THE CITY

The visit of the committee consist
ing Of the city engineer and Alderman
Ellestad to a number of northwestern
cities to investigate slaughter houses
has been productive of good results.
Information has been gained as to the
experience CT other cities with slaugh-
ter houses, and hat information will
be Of the greatest value here.
The plants visited are not municipal
plants, but, though under private own
ership, they serve the same purpose
that the municipal plant would be re-
CURED to serve here. as, with the ex-
ception of enc or two cases, all local
killing must be done in these plants,
which are approved by the city. and
operated under conditions satisfactory
to the city authorities. This plan
would have been highly desirable here,
but no private person has been in
clined to 20 into the slaughter house
business here, and as 1t Is evident
that the present conditions cannot
be permitted to continue, the only
possible alternative is the construction
Of a municipal plant with the require
ment that all the local killing done be
done in tina. plant. In that way. and
in that way only. q we have any as
surance that the meat which is served
on our tables is At to eat. In no other
way can there be proper inspection Of
meats Or of the conditions under which
meats,sa are dressed. -..s,

that makes up.
But they do hate automobiles, and
when the first one brought there car
ed the. horse of a pious islander on
the way to church with his family,
and tipped them all out, the islanders
accelerated the expectation of that
machine with a ~vivacity that made its
owner dizzy, n vowed by this and
by that they would suffer such wrong
no more.
Till now they have kept the dread
full oath, and whoever entered Prince
Edward Island left the hope OF motor
cars over at Pugwash or Pictou,
across the channel. At last. however,
they show signs Of r%elenting, for the
government has just decided that au-
tomobiling shall be permitted on the
sacred isle three days a week-Mon-
days, Wednesdays. n Thursdays!
Thus the inevitable, long-resisted
wedge has entered. Why those partic-
ular days were selected for l~eniency
is moi %reevaled by the advices at hand, |
but doubtless the reasons are good
and insular.

Of this community can be served by
a plant much less costly than; that
contemplated in the first estimates
made. The facts gathered demonstrate
to the satisfaction Of the committee
that a plant costing approximately
$4,000 will be adequate. instead OF
the 100000 which it was believed
would be necessary. The chief saving
is in the refrigerating plant In which
ice instead of ammonia will be used
for cooling. This is in line with the
suggestion made by Mr.. Kneupfer. who
in the handling of meats than any 9TH
er man in the city. Mr.. Kneupfer
pointed out that while the ammonia
plant is u necessity in many other
places, there would be no need for it
here. At the Paris, Texas, plant, for
instance, ammonia is used for cool
ing, but that city is situated in a hot
country where it is cheaper to operate
an ammonia plant than it is to import
ice. The big packing plants, as he
pointed ont, ammonia is used because
1t is necessary there to obtain a lower
temperature than is practicable with
ice. The big packers need not only
to cool, but to freeze much OF their
meat, as 1t is often kept in storage for
months at a time, and the temperature
ohtainable by the use of ice alone
would not answer for this at all. Here
we have no such need. All that would

which meats could be cooled quickly
and kept cool for a few hours. as
there would be no occasion for killing
in advance of the need of the market.
our ice crop is a never failing one.
and the ordinary river ice would serve
the purpose as we'll as any other as
the ice will never come in contact
with the meat.
Some other notifications of the pro-
posed plant will be suggested by the
committee as a result of the inevstiga-
ton, and both members are confident
that for $4,000 a plant can be con-
strncted which will answer all the
needs Of the city for a good many
years to come. The council will meet
tonight to take action on the report,
and it is expected that arrangements
will be made to submit the question
of issuing bonds for this purpose to a
vote OF the people at the earliest pos
sible date, in order that the plant may
be built this fall.

it was to beautifully iron the white

head went up haughtily, that you
would try to remember that Sammy

Mary's eyes were stormy, her lips
were set ina firm, straight line when
she left him. 1t was the first contro-
versy over h upbringing of Sammy
that did not n with a laugh from
Mark and a smile from Mary, and
when Mark went back through the
opening in the hedge there was some
thing strange and sad Juggling at his
heart-something that kept him on

ments. even his dog nosing his cold
muzzle under hts hand .unnoticed. He
was looking down a long, long road,

over Mary's remark rang in his ears
At last. with a long sigh, he. said sad
ly. NO, he's not my boy; I'm alone,
Mary. Guess, after all, I've missed

He referred to Sammy's curls

Mary's side of the hedge saw little OF
him.. Mary sat upon her veranda and
wondered. h never mentioned Sam
my except in a casual way, until the
opening Of school in September when
she informed Mark she was golux to
send Sammy.
He was silent for a momen, then
growled out, Going to send him as

His first day was a short one. Mark
was working in his garden around
two o'clock. Mary had just called to
him that If Sammy came she had
gone visiting. when a detected little
figure came slowly through the open
ing IN the hedge and back to Mark in
his garden. It did not take a second
glance to tell that a childish heart
vas sore.

hedge dividing their lawns and told
him about Sammy.

hand, and as Mark drew near his eyes
beheld a new, strange Mary. Her
cheeks were softly flushed, her lips
tremulous and her gray eyes danced

most audible. He stooI and stared at
her, ~speechless, when he reached the
hedge. but when she cried impetuous-
ly. "Oh, Mark Horton. such a Won
derful thing-I'm going to have a boy
to raise!' her transformation was
completely forgotten.
h laughed at. his amazement: read
him the letter which informed her Of
the death of the cousin in Kansas: of
the little boy. fatherless and mother
less; of the letter the mother had left
beseeching Mary to care for him.
I'm going to Kansas right away"
She announced Importantly as she fn-
ished reading. Won't: 1t be great,
Mark, having a child around?F.. At
times I'm lonely"
And that was the first Mark new
about loneliness ever coming near

Mary was back from Kansas with
the boy. and in her happy Importance
Mark again saw Mary utterly new to
him. Something stirring within him
for a moment Kept his eyes from the
child. When at last he looked at him.
and the little fellow had shyly shaken
hands with him and was making up
with Marks dog, Mark said to Mary:
Hell be a good looking youngster,
Mary, when we get those crazy curls
cut Off"
Mary's proud glance left the boy
and h flashed around at him. Mark
Horton, cut that beautiful hair which
they tell me his mother was so proud
Of! Why? Well. I should say not!

Sweet! What in thunderation has
a boy got to do with looking sweet?
Fol- heavens sake. make him manly,
Mary; make him manly! Better let
me run down to the BARRIERS and have
that wool taken off right away"
But after one long, indignant glance
Mary turned away scornfully. Thus

peaceful friendship of years. 81
In the year that followed they had
many a jangle over the raising of
Sammy. The soft. fair cuf1s. the Rus

crate collars that Mary chose to dress
