City is the largest market in the
West. It is also the biggest pack
ing center. We should beard the
lion in his den and do business
right by his side. The next move
should be to locate a plant in Chi-
cago. After that, independent
plants could be scattered through-
out the country."
"The independent plants will not
l>e run as co-operative concerns, as
many people believe," he said.
"They will be run by a stock com-
pany, just as other packing houses
are run. The only difference is
that they will not enter a trust and
their stock will be held by cattle-
men. That there is a trust now
cannot be doubted.

New York, Dec. 26.*— A heavy
fall of snow, accompanied by high
wind, began here early today. So
thick were the snow and the clouds
that during the morning darkness,
almost like that of night, prevailed
in the downtown streets. The
snow, wet and heavy, at first melt-
ed as fast as it fell, but later the
temperature dropped and the storm
became a blizzard.
The darkness lasted nearly an
hour, after which the storm lessened
considerably in severity, although
the snow continued to fall. A
heavy snow storm, accompanied
at many places by a high wind,
prevailed throughout the state.
In the dark period in this city
many ferryboats went astray, their
captains having lost their bearings.
The harbor resounded with the
whistles of tugs and other steam
craft that had become enveloped in
the darkness and blinding snow.
Several liners on their way from
quarantine to their piers had to lay
to until the darkness lifted.
Later in the day the snow
stopped, the mercury dropped rap-
idly, going down fifteen degrees,
from 34 to 19, in three hours. A
sharp wind intensified the cold,
which the weather bureau officials
said would probably reach the low-
est thus far for the winter.

Sensible Bill.
Here is a Bill Arp bit of wisdom
that fits every clime, every race,
nation and all time: "Once I was
young, now I am old, and I havei
not seen a girl, who went back on
her mother, who ever came to be
worth a one-eyed button to her hus-
band. It is the law of God. It is
not exactly in the Bible but it is
written large and-lawful in the lives
of many misfit homes. If one of
you chaps ever run across a girl
with a face full of roses, who says
to you when you come to the door,
'I cannot go for forty minutes, for
the dishes are not washed,' you
want to wait for that girl. Sit
right down on the door step and
wait for her, because some other
fellow will come along and carry
her off and then you lose an angel.
Wait for her and stick to her like a
burr on a mule's tail."—
