WINNIPEG. Man, March IA
hundred million dollars is now in
vested in the meat packing industry
in Canada. This is shown in a pre-
liminary report for the calendar
year 1919, just issued by the Dom
inion Bureau OF Statistics. This re-
port shows that the industry. which
a comparatively short time ago was
very small and which Is still in its
infancy. provides employment for
more than 1900 workers and pays
out more than $15,0oe.0o0 in wages.
While the industry is largest in
Ontario. settlement of the agricul-
tural sections along the Canadian
National Railways in the West has
given the Province of Alberta sec
ond position. Through the gospel
of diversified farming as preached
by the government and by all agri-
cultural economists, nearly every
farmer Is the owner of a few head
of cattle. sheep or hogs. As a result
the packing industry is pushing
ahead in the Western Provinces.
Two and a half million hogs were
slaughtered during the ear: 6s4,5s4
beeves, 523.ssS sheep, and 1854
calves.

The wreck caused the death Of thir-

The engineer and fireman told
their story officially today at the
inquest held at Valparaiso, in the
form of a statement issued by their
attorney. They say the crossing at
Porter is a veritsble death trap. A
water tank is located at the derail

marched to the Wilson residence at
o'clock. and for more than an
hour participated in a demonstra-
tion. The former President appear
ed more than a dozen times at the
front windows, and bowed or waved
his hand in acknowledgment.
Deeply Touched.
There were insistent demands for
a speech, but he waved these aside.
But he received a delegation of five
from the two organizations, who
presented to him a large basket of
flowers, and he told them how pro-
foundly he was touched at these
evidences Of regard and esteem.
Men who had served In his Cabi-
net and Congressional members Of
the Democratic party were dropping
in upon the ex-President in a steady
stream as callers and from time to
time his face and form would reap
pear from first one and then another
second story window and Mrs. Will
son would raise the window sash
while the President favod his salu-
tation.
One Of the outstanding incidents
was the meeting between Mr.. Will
son and Senator Henry Cabot Lodge.
leader Of the antitreaty fight, in the
Presidents room at the Capitol i'm
mediately before noon. Senator
Lodge had come to officially inform
Mr.. Wilson that the Senate was
ready to adjourn and inquire wheth-
er the man whose treaty had been
so vigorously opposed, cared to
communicate any message to the
adjourning Congress. The appear
ance of Senator Lodge and all that
his presence may have conjured up
in the mind of Mr.. Wilson brought
back a flash Of his old fire.
MIN. Wilson's form Strengthened
and this was his response:
Tell them / have no further COM
munication to make. I thank you
for your courtesy. Good morning,
sir"
There was something in the voice
OF the President and the way he ut
tered these words which left no
doubt that he wished to make only
the most formal reply to Mr.. Lodge.

Parsons, state secretary of the or ganlzatlon, to a spot a few miles north of the city, where they forced the two men to daub themselves with tar and then roll in the grass.
 1helr clothes were then returned to them and they were warned to stay out of Barton county.
 J. Ralph Burton Escorted Out
 Earlier in the day, J. Ralph Burton formerly United States senator and re. gently member of the party from naiina, which investigated and sswhite- washed the Nonpartisan Leagues ad- ministration in North Dakota. and Professor Wilson, one of the orpaniz- CTS of the league, were escorted from the city.
 It is believed that they got as far ed. -o'es'-
 Burton and Wilson were on their way to Ellinwood, where they were to speak this afternoon When they did not appear there, Stevic and Parsons came to Great Bend to learn what had become of them.
 An "escort' also was provided for them and they were taken to Silica about five miles southeast of ElIin, wood and told not to come back. That was about 5 o'clock this afternoon. Al o o'clock American Legion men and others at Lyons learned that Stevic and Parsons were back in Ellinwood. i.

 A few miles north of Great Bend the mob stopped.
 A gruff voice commanded:
 Take off your clothes"
 The prisoners, protesting, obeyed.
 Then cauldron of tar was brought up.
 Forced to Tar Themselves.
 Smear that on," was the con- mand, and the two men, trembling in the chill air, started to apply the thick substance to their naked bodies, When the job was completed, the or der was given for them to roll in the grass, since there was a lack of feath- CTS.
 When they were convinced that the job had been done thoroly and that the prisoners had gained thoro know ledge of Barton county's attitude to- ward the Nonpartisan League, the men were given back their clothes and the mob left, with parting word of warning not to return.
 Recalled Stevic's Promise.
 It was pointed out to,Stevic that he already had violated two promises to remain from the county and that to- nights "tar party" was carried out as a means of forcing him, by fear, to keep his word.
