That some upon the present or: ces regu lating meat inspectic should be made ix conceded, bat just how rad feal the change must be is the ques tien Two of the members expressed themselves as being certain that complete inspection is {mpractica ble. It would be too costly, and would drive producers to send their | stock elsewhere. Dr. Limerick was in favor of making the inapection just as thor ough as possible, even though it might work some hardship upon some people. He thought the plan which he said had been adopted in Portiand and other cities would be | beneficial. His idea was to estab- lish a munteipai slaughter house, or, preferably, make arrangements for the slaughtering of all stock brought into the city for local con sumption at a single slaughter | house for a nominal price. By this Means the meat could be inspected during the process of slaughtering, which is by far the most effectual the at Dr. Loughery and Dr. Janson, however, were of the opinion that guch a system would be so obnox- fous to the small producer that it; could never be enforced. The In- greased cost of shipping stock Into| the city alive. they thought was! gomething that could never be done in justice to the farmer. They thonght a complete post-morten ex- amination, and the requirement that ail meat sold in the city have the) forernment of city tag of inspec- tion, was the best result that could | be attained HELD UP Harry Shaw, ie hel clerk at 6% North Broadway, found himself ooking down a pistol barrel at 10 @clock last night, and compelied, at the request of a masked man, to open up the till and deliver over its contents, which amounted to $16. The robbers escaped through the Tear door. Shortly after 9 o'clock, Gus Hof- ing, of LaConner, and William Ber- . of Seattle, were held up by a ‘ighwayman wearing a mask and armed with two pistols. Hofing re sisted and was struck over the head With one of the pistols, but the foot- pad became frightened and ran away without securing any money or valuables.
