MEAT PRICES KILLING.
Butchers of the United States May Have
To Quit Business.
Boston, Aug. 15. The butchers ot
the country are ready to find new lines
of business if the price of meat is raised
much higher because, they say, the aver'
age citizen will be forced to consider
meat a luxury and banish it from his
table, i This was the burden of several
speeches by members of the Master
Butchers' Association of America at the
closing sessions of the annual conven
tion here last night. The butchers vot
ed to meet in Chicago next year.
President John T. Russell of Chicago
president of the association, was one o
the. leading speakers along this line.
"I do not think that people will be
foolish enough to pay the exorbitant
prices tor meat that the wholesalers pre
dirt will prevail this winter, he said.
"I am sure that as the price of beef
approaches the 50 cents a pound mark
thousands of people will stop using it
with each 1-cent raise. And they should.
Such prices are unwarranted, and can be
traced entirely to the big packers.
The convention adopted resolutions
asking for fetleral assistance for the cat
tie growers.

dering blazes that might at any moment
have burst into a forest fire of large
proportions. Thus far, however, the
fires have been quickly quenched and a
serious fire has yet to get under way.
Farmers are taking every precaution to
avoid fires, and picnic parties and others
are asked to use the same care while
in the woods.

local women's society furnished sufficient
clothing to garb the yonugsters, and

To Know What President Wilson Has
to Say to Them.
Mexico City, Aug. 15. Interest in the
nature of President Wilson's message
to Provisional President Huerta is keved
to a high pitch, Mexicans and Ameri
cans alike are indulging in guessing
what the communication contains, but
another day has gone by without afford
ing satisfaction to their curiosity.
Mameuvering for an owning "to pre
sent President Wilson's merisage is con
tinuing, but Air. Lind thus far has been
unable to break through the reserve
maintained by the Mexican executive.
Two courses by which to present the
documents are possible. One, and the
most desirable, is for Mr. Lind personal
ly to hand it to President Huerta; the
other is to entrust its transmission
through the embassy to the Mexican for
eign office. The note has been translat
ed into Spanish and is ready for Presi
dent Huerta to read. The Mexican gov
ernment is aware of this and the next
move should be made by Huerta.
The preliminary step toward carrying
out President Wilson's instructions was
taken Tuesday when Mr. Lind called
upon Foreign Minister Gamboa and in
formally discussed the situation. It has
been agreed tentatively that Mr. Lind
and Senor Gamboa will get together
again, and at this meeting it is expect
ed that a decision will be reached as
to whether the note will be handed to
President Huerta by way of the Mexican
foreign office or presented personally
by Mr. Lind. It is not expected that
the parties to this conference will make
public the character of the decision
reached.

Daily inspection of Barre's three mam

Chairman John E. Hoban of the alder

how much longer the city's normal sup

Tokio, Aug. 15. It is announced here
that the United States has intimated
its readiness to favor in principal the
payment of an indemnity to Japanese
subjects who have been affected by the
California alien land ownership legisla
tion and also has recognized the right
of Japan to adopt a measure to the Cal
ifornia bill.
From intimation given in official cir
cles, it appears unlikely that Japan will
adopt either idea. It is said that what
she desires is permanent friendly rela

fore seeks the fundamental solution of
the difficulty.

Extended Improvements Made.
Within the present week, laborers em
ployed by the water department under
the direction of Superintendent Reynold
and the chairman of the committee, have
been completing a.chain of improvements
started in June, when the old wooden
dam between the upper and lower reser
voirs was replaced by a modern cement
structure. The appearance of the up
per body has undergone a complete trans
formation by reason of the changes at
the mouth and" the changes alonir the
banks. A cement dam mcaursing 218
feet from shore to shore replaces the
wooden barrier that had hitherto held
the waters back. The old dam had long
ago outgrown its usefulness and latter
ly it had been a question whether in its
decayed condition it had not polluted
the water to a small degree.
The new dam has an average height
of 12 and lti feet with a spillway of
solid concrete measuring 50 fect. "Tho
spillway has an overflow of eight feet.
The top of the dam is eight feet wide.
Its cement work was constructed at a
cost of $i!fiti, including labor and ma
terial, while the expense of removing toe
old structure and excavating for the new
one brought the total cost up to $l.l()fl
or thereabouts. How much the facilities
for controlling the water have been in
creased can be gathered in a single
glance. That the new structure provides
a measurably more sanitary way lor
the water to find the outlet cannot be
questioned. The work occupied several
weeks and during that period a large
gang of men from the city were con
stantly engaged in the work. Once,
while the city council was inspecting
the work, Alderman Dawson narrowly
escaped a fall of 20 feet into the pit
below the dam site, but aside from
that the project was carried on without
a mishap.
With the completion of the dam, tlm
improvements did not cease. They ara
still under way, for that matter. Scrub
by underbrush that crept over from the
neighboring pastures down to the very
edge of the reservoir has been destroyed
by the bush hook method. Saplings that
obstructed a view of the upper reser
voir from the road and followed tho
pond up the pasture until it becomes
a . narrow brook, have also been cut
away. Everywhere about both reser
voirs none but fir trees and evercreens
have been spared. Wherever leaf-bearing
trees were found to threaten the
purity of the water, the bush hook
has been applied. Around the boathouso
yesterday men were cutting away tha
iast vetige of small growth. Nothing
remains now but a hard rain to raise
the water and the reservoirs will be in
excellent shape for the winter.
