President John W. Springer of the National Livestock association in a few appropriate words welcomed the crowded the large audience that theatre to the floors and introduced Governor Chamberlain of Oregon. The governor said in part: Gentlemen 1 take great pleasure in extending to you, ou behalf of tlie people uf the state, a most cordial welcome. Representing ns you do Interests of great magnitude and of vital of the imports nee to tho wellare country, Oregon feels honored by your presence, and her people rejoice that aa opportunity Is afforded them to entertain you ns their distinguished guests.

There Is no exruse for conditions which exist today Injuriously affecting tho livestock Industry of the country. In one short year, and during an era of unprecedented prosperity, there has been n falling off in the prices of livestock of nearly 50 per cent aggregatof 9465.6UO,-00ing n loss to the Industry upon 9640.000.000 of Which falls tho raiser of cattle, 9120.006.060 upon the raiser of sheep, and 365.000.000 upon tho raiser of hogs. This Immense of sum represent nearly the total value of the livestock of the United State. If with this decline ta prices of stuck on toot there was a corresponding decline In ths manufactured products, for there might be some compensation the this condition. But the fact is, not has output of tho packing-hous-and prices have perceptibly declined, uniformly remained about tho same, if they have aot ia some lnstaaios goue to a higher JeveL It Is needless for me to suggest to you tho source of these conditions. manThey are brought about by the packingipulations of tha trading houses of the country.

Thera have been no eases of smallpox la tha city, but two eases have been brought In from the west end of the cut-of- f and have In the past six months been attended to by tbe county authorities. There has been no case from there in tbe last two months.' This report shows up well for this city and of smallpox county, for the rases brought In were in reality to be credited to Box Elder county. These facts are given to deny a vicious statement which appears in the Salt Lake papers and which is total?? false. The ptatemeut Is as follows in relation to some linemen who have smallpox in Salt Lake: At the time the wire was strung the company employed about forty men. Every one of them was exposed to smallpox while In Ogden. Three of them have come to Salt Lake City since they left the work mud have developed tbe disease since then. They are nil In the Isolation hospital. The last man taken there was Wesley Loveless, aged 26. He was picked up on the comer of Second South and Main streets by Inspector William J. Knrtb. The man's face was badly broken nut. lie said be did not know what was the matter with him. lie admitted that he had Just come from Ogden, where he worked for the power company assisting (a the stringing wire to this city. of tho Tho truth of tho matter Is that none of these men hip been In Ogden for the past five weeke and there has been no cure at all hero for two months and before that the only two eases were brought In from the cutat off and taken to the once, so that no exposure could have been made.
