to Portland, as there it has to be
inspected by The Union Meat, com-f

though, a I understand it, the in

made no shipments to. Portland for
a long time. I am simply buying

care of my regular customers here In
Salem,' said Speight yesterday af

Mr. Speight had a good deal of
trouble with an inspector sent down
from Portland almost a year ago.
Ills name was Stelnmetz, a deputy of
State Dairy and Food Commission

"He told me." Speight said that
meat that had been killed, forty
eight hours was unfit to rat, and
condemned It. He said I could
kill cattle on a farm and ship to
Portland, but that the meat could
not be used in Salem; that my mark

at the time there was a cold wind
blowing through, but I must have
an ice box In the winter time. But
