Cold Storage Plant A bill has been introduced In Con gress to provide a government cold storage plant in Washington. It is approved by Dr. Wiley tbe advocate of punt food laws who thinks such a plant would result in better provis ions for tbe army and navy, and ont out the enormous profits now made by the meat trusts. It would cost a million and a half dollars, and would afford the government a chance, to study and loam tbe cost of keeping perishable foods In a healthful condi tion without taking the evidence of men employed by the trusts. The army and navy and soldiers homes could be supplied with foods of better quality than they now have at less expense. Soldiers homes last year cost more than a million dollars for meats and the army over two million- Tbe navy bill for butter alone waa $400,000, and tho fresh meat for tho navy cost fifteen million dollars to say nothing of bacon, lard and poultry. It ia argued that with a government plant a large sum could be saved besides the great profits now paid to the paokers. Real Estate Transfers Sophia Walts to Charles Friable, 8J acres Green 13200.

A question agitating politicians Just now on the eve of the return of n Prrsideot Roosevelt in this country is just what pot-iliou he will take con ee.-ning the matters which have been in controversy during his absence.

That bis influence will be pow crful on whatever side it is c;sl is shown by the anxiety of many states men and politicians to obtain inter views with him and so presumably gain favor by first presenting their views, ltoo-evolt is of an indepen dent mind, an idol of the people and not friecdly to trusts and combina tions.
