"Father ehot'mothfir and killed him-self." This is the death song that•will ring In tho ears of this golden-haired girl as long as she lives.

\rho. have cast a shadow over her lifethat no future can lift, the child blight-ed by a terrible crime— no one couldguess.

Her father had shot her mother. Shehad heard the pistol ring out and shetoo had seen the prostrate forms asthey lay weltering in their own blood.Sh« had seen the big helmeted officerscarry out those silent forms to thewaiting wagon.

At every attempt to comfort her, sheonly raised her frightened eyes plt-eously In dumb grief more terriblethan ail the eryllng out of the others.

All was confusion, with policemenand reporters and morbidly curious ln-ti-uders coming in and out; but littleMyrtle in her red jacket sat pallidand cold and not a sound escaped herlips.

Inhe bedroom adjoining her sobbingaunt and a neighbor were sopping upthe blood from the carpet with rags;her 16-year-old cousin Viola was onthe sofa crying hysterically and herlittle cousin, Ralph, had fled wailingto his teacher.

Of all the weeping relatives that hud-dled in the little parlor at 208 SouthHewitt street, little Myrtle was thestrangest in her grief.

IfEdward Powers, hackdriver, hadthought of these things yesterday be-fore he -shot his wife and then him-self itmight have had a deterring ef-fect. Or perhaps if he oould, by somemiracle of prescience, have seen his5-year-old daughter Myrtle an hourafter the deed he might have post-poned the miserable denoument.

• Immediately after deciding upon thenew plant, the greatest packing housesof the country were inspected thor-oughly by experts, with a view to sup-plying the Southern California Institu-tion with every modern applance forthe safest and most effective methodsof handling the meat Industry in con-nection with the Si'iiUius plant.

The refrigerating room of the newconcern has a capacity for 300 head ofdressed beer, with 800 head of dressedmutton or pork. ,

The freezing rooms will carry 200head of beef and 800 head of mutton orpork. Electric power willbe providedfrom a plant on the premises ownedby the company. A fertilizing houseis situated 300 feet from the main build-ings.

A system of trnllpying,whereby theproduct will enter electric cars fortransportation to the city and thencealong a trolley continuation to thestorage rooms after reaching the city,provides »n absolute prevention of con-tamination of the meat.

A feature of the arrangement Incon-nection with the shipping of the meatto Los Angeles from the packing house,lies in the fart that from the time ofkilling, the beef, pork or mutton willnot rome In contact with the floor ofany building before reaching the retailhouspp.

Although commodious, the presentquarters on San Fernando street areinadequate to the growing business,and In the future the city branch willbe used as salesrooms, to which theprepared product from the outlylngrhouse will bo shipped.
