PACKING PLANTS FOR
BUTTE AND SALT LAKE.

OF more than passing interest is
the report announcing that work is
well under way on packing houses
that will represent at Butte and Salt
Lake an investment of half a million
OF dollars at each city. This estab-
lishment is destined to have an i'm
pcrtant place in the state. It means
that a home market has been created
for livestock and that the farmers of
Montana, Utah and Idaho will be as
sured better prices and better facil-
tiles for marketing their stock than
they have heretofore.
The packing plants will pay espec-
ial attention to the intermountain
hog, already recognized as the equal
of the corn-fed animal of the middle
west At one time this region pro-
duced more range cattle than any
other; for many years 1t ranked first
in the production of sheep. Now it
will become an important producer of
pork and pork products.

BULL MOOSERS Will
GATHER ON JUNE 9TH
Date Of the National Convention ol
That Party; Declaration Blythe
Leaders

Chicago, Jan. 1.-THE Progressive
party will hold it's national convention
June in Chicago, concurrently with
the national convention of the Repub-
lican party, in the hope that both
may agree on the same candidate for
president
This action was decided upon by
the national committee of the Pro
gressive party. Forty-seven of the
forty-eight states were represented at
the meeting.
Before adjourning the committee
adopted declaration of principles; in
which the administration of President
Wilson was criticised for its alleged
failure to deal adequately with national
honor and industrial welfare and the
Progressive party went on record as
favoring complete preparedness con-
sisting of military armament, as well
as a mobilization of all the country S
resources with view of the unifca-
ton of American citizenship.
A message was read from Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt urging the neces.
sity for adequate preparedness, which
was enthusiastically applauded.
Progressive leaders declared that
there would be no amalgamation with
the Republican party even in the event
of both parties choosing the same
presidential candidate. u
The Progressive party plans to
nominate a national ticket at it's con-
vention in June.
Many of the party leaders declared
that if the Republicans will nominate
Roosevelt or any other man who is re-
garded as unobjectionable and will in
corporate in it's platform the salient
features of the Progressive principles
both parties will unite on the same
candidates in Chicago next June.
, In discussing the declaration of
principles issued by the committee
Chairman George w. Perkins of New
York said:
1.-THE declaration issued by the ma.
tional committee means just what 1t
says. 1t was prepared with great care.
1t is an honest and fair statement of
the situation"
Will Stick BY Organization.
Chicago, January 12.-That the pro-
gressives have no intention whatever
of giving up their party organization
was statement made emphatically to-
day by George w. Perkins, chairman
of the national progressive committee.
1t was not amalgamation with the re-
publican party that the progressives
sought, but mere team work for the
same candidates, if the same candi-
dates could be agreed upon. He said
it was up to the republican convention
to nominate such a man for president
as the progressives could endorse.

was the plan of General Won Eimen,

ers say, to have the Germans break
through the French line and get to
Verdun. The preliminary artillery
fire of the German guns demolished
the French trenches. Then came gas
bombs, in which it was hoped to par
alyze the defenders by asphyXiation.
The French had been well equipped
to resist gas bombs. The attempt to
cripple the defenders at all in this
manner was a total failure. Then
came the German infantry charge. 1t
was then that the French machine
guns had the opportunity to get in
their deadly work and they certainly
did. Terrific havoc was played in the
advancing German columns, and aft
er these were completely broken, the
French by a most brilliant counter
charge recovered practically all of the
ground that the Germans had taken.
Thousands of prisoners were captured
and hundreds of these belonged to the
German Imperial guard.
