In 54 hours 6 ^ inches of rain fell, while on Weston mountain tbe fall was from 9 to 10 inches. Four out of seven bridges are washed out and three small store buildings were washed into tbe river. Tbe greatest damage, peihaps, ia due to stock losses in tbe mountain ranges Thousands of sheep had just been sheared and were unprotected. The storm swept into the mountains with an advance guard of cold fog, followed by heavy rain and snow. In the face of this blizzard the holders in many instances deserted their flicks, leaving 2,000 and 3,000 head to their fate.

The orchards are Hooded and tbe fruit trees covered with mud and slime. The alfalfa fields are masses of sediment, as are the straw berries, but the latter will not all be lost. It is hard to put an estimate on Milton’ s damage, because many of the fields will be saved. The estimate of damage is made by those who are fa miliar with the country and who know tbe area and the value of the crept. No actual figures are aa yet forthcoming.

REEKING WITH FILTH Report of Commission on Chica go Packing Houses. CONDITIONS MOST DISGUSTING W ords Not Minced, Repulsive Facts Not Blinked, In Telling Unaan- ilary Conditions Found. Washington, June 5.— The following is the report in brief of Commissioners Neill and Reynolds to the president on the packing house situation in Chicago: “ No statement as a fact which was not verified by personal examination.” Floors, carts, tubs are ol wood, water soaked, only ball cleansed, meat scraps and grease adhering to them and col lecting dirt. Meat racka and conveyors inadequate ly cleansed, grease and meat scraps ad hering to them, even alter they are washed. Closets for both men and women cut off from workrooms by thin wooden nartitions. Lunchrooms often adjoin them Washing siuks not furnished at all, or small and dirty, witli neither towels, Boap or toilet paper. Men and womeD directly from the closets plunge un washed hands into tbe meat. Men sometimes relieve themselves on killing floors and swell the sum of nau seating cdors from dirty, blocd soaked, rotting floors. One New York slaughter bouse is model in contrast with Chicago, con structed largely of iron and cement, flushed and thoroughly cleansed every day. Workmen climb over heaps of meat, select piece they want and throw it or dirty floor. In cutting, they hold meal against aprons ol leather or rough Back ing, indescribably filthy. They stand with dirty shoes on tables on which meat is bandied. At lunch hoar they sit on these tables. A ll this is under aye of superintendent. Meat shoveled from dirty floors, which are damp and soggy, piled on tables rarely washed, pushed in wooden box carta, gathering dirty splinters floor filth and expectoration of tubercu lous and other diseased workers. Best grades of Bausage prepared for export to be eaten uncooked is carte* in barrow with handles filthy with grease, thrown on table, on which em ploye climbs, handles meat with un washed hands, kneelr with dirty apron and trousers in contact with meat. Inspection does not extend to prepar ed meat food, though these products bear label stating they have passed gov ernment inspection. Not yet prepared to report on use ol dyes, preservatives and chemicals. Fresh meat shoveled into barrels and regular proportion of stale scraps added from dirty floor. Meat scraps, dry, leathery and unfit to be eaten, among which were found pieces of pigskin, bits of rope and other rubbish, to be used in making potted ham. A ll these canned products bear labels saying they passed government inspec tion and quality ie guaranteed. Labels washed from old canned goods, which are then heated to “ liven up” contents and given fresh labels. Superintendents seem to ignore all considerations except those of the ac count book. Tuberculosis is disproportionately prevalent in the stockyards, and victims expectorate on floors of workrooms, from which falling scraps of meat are shoveled up to be converted into food. Callous disregard is suown for com fort of employes. Girls stand ten houre a day at work which could be as well done eitting. Conditions are a degradation to mor als and menace to health of employee. Meat should be inspected after slaughter on killing beds. Hogs should be inspected for triebinosie for Am eri can as well as foreign consumer. No meat should be marked inspected unlesi inspected at every stage of preparation Secretary of agriculture should be given power to make rules regarding eanita tion and construction of buildings Transportation of uninspected meat from state to elate should be prohibited Nnmber of inspectors should be largely increased. Special government inepec tion should be carried on continuously. Standards of inspection should be studied and published. Drug Firms Summoned.

The fact that Judge Smith is an ap pointee of the governor is set forth, aud tbe allegation that he ia subj, ct to the influence of the governor ia made. Tbe manner of drawing the grand jury in this county also ia attacked. Tbe peti tion severely criticises tbe conduct of both Governor erod ing pnd Judge Smith in relation to these cases.

Uoknown to those in tbe place, he made an ex amination of the cattle in the pen. There were 31 diseased cattle standing in the pens when he visited tbe place. Without exception, the “ amps” in their jaws, according to the testimony of one who was with him, were from the size of a cocoanut to that of a peck measure. Mr. Reynolds watched these cattle brought to the killing beds and slaughtered. "H o w many of them were condemned on post-mortem inspection?” he asked tbe city inspector, after all bad been killed. “ Seven,” replied the inspector. The commissioner turned away sick ened. “ What hecomes of tbe prodnets of these vats?” asked tbe commissioner of Cornelius Short, manager of the slaughter honee. “ The grease goes to the butterine man and other users of grease, the solids to the fertilizer." “ What is done with the meat that passes?" was the next question. “ There are two firm« in Chicago that make a business of buying it, and it is Bold to certain restaurants and hotels.” “ There was not a dozen in that nunch of 31,” said the commissioner to his companion, as he walked out of the place, “ that could rightly have been passed.” The Standard Slaughtering company was organized daring the administra- tion'of Governor John P. Altgeid, who compelled its eetablisbment so that tbe handling of diseased meat conld be centralized and thus better controlled. Suprem e Judge Brown Retiree.
