Some complaints are now being made
by live stock agents at Kansas City that
the freight rates on cattle east of the
Missouri river have been made too high.
For example, they cite that west of the
Missouri river the rate OH hogs exceeds
that on cattle ~ cents. Between Kansas
City and Chicago the cattle rate is 215
cents higher than the hog rate, and to
st. Louis the cattle rate is 81 cents
higher. No reason can be assigned by
the agents in this city for this difference.
Another Objectionable popularity of
the new system is the placing of the mini
mum weights required for Gear loads"
at the heaviest weights that the different
sizes of cars ever held when loaded with
live stock, thus forcing the shipper to
virtually pay freight for several thous-
ands of pounds not carried.

Cattle have advanced on the strength
of moderate receipts, says the Chicago
Times, and hogs are returning very fair
profits to farmers, there being a large
shortage in the West ''The western
packing since November l is 7I5 900 hogs
short of the like period a year ago, and
the Chicago packing shows a shortage of
327 ZOO hogs, the packing here to date
being S14 900 hogs, and in the entire
west to latest advices 3,085, 900 hogs.
The hogs now being marketed are splen-
did specimens and show what choice
swine the magnificent corn crop is max
ing. The hogs received here for the past
month averaged twenty-seven pounds
heavier than those received IN the same
month in 1887, and current receipts run
largely to big hogs

81 viii tell pOu what, - remarked an
old cattle dealer, 81 believe the sending
out of so many kilograms to country
shippers, custom which is rapidly
growing, is a great detriment to every
one concerned. Anyone who will watch
it closely will see for himself how it
works; if the market goes down every
one telegraphs to the country to hold
back shipments, then when it goes up
the kilograms are sent all over the
country and a flood of cattle and
demOraliZed market is the result. Then
everyone is advised to hold back their
cattle until there is an advance, when
the same thing is enacted over
again. If it was not for this we
could all come in with our cattle as
we got ready and there would be a steady
supply on sale and a fairly steady
market. OF course it is necessary that
shippers be posted on the market so as to
know how to buy, but the mails will
carry advices of that kind plenty quick
enough foTall practical purposes. How
ever, so long as other shippers are receiv-
ing kilograms l want my commission
man to do the same by me, but when he
telegraphs, market good, ship at once,
l keep my cattle at home, as [ know
hundreds of such dispatches have been
sent out, and that by the time can get
there the market vii be oYerstocked. "

There may be some old timers in Texas
yet above the sod who remember the cir
cumstances connected with the following
story: On the evening of December 80,
on the ranch of Peter HALEY a prominent
cattleman living 100 miles west of Yuma.
A. T., William Jason, an old cowboy
suddenly drew his revolver while stand
ing in front of the camp and fired at Jack
WitherSpoOn, another cowboy. HALEY
rushed out of his hut in time to hear
Witherspoon eXclaim: "Biu, don't
shoot any more. We can settle this with
out any more trouble. -
Jason replied: ''No, by -, will
kill you, and at the word fired another
shot at WitherspoOn, who drew his re-
volver and fired once. The bullet hit
Jason just below the heart and he died
three hours later.
Just before his death, Jason, in the
presence of witnesses made the follow
ing confession: SIN 1872, or 1878, do
not remember which, 1 was in Texas,

The Colorado cattle growers associa-
ton met in Denver last Wednesday The
report of the state board of inspection
showed that cattle to the value of S27 -
430 had been located and sold by its
agents at the different markets in the
country during the past year This is all
shown in a tabuated statement, and the
report goes on to say:
The perusaI of this table will give some
insight of what is required of my office.
The distribution of this sum to its owners
by check alone, and its attendant book
keeping requires great deal of time and
the answers of innumerable questions
concerning "Who shipped it?'' ''What
did it weigh?'' Glow much per hun

such remarks as 81 told him to-
"Deuced light weight, - ''Great Scott!

''AIl right, - as the check is pocketed,
thankful, rs each cattleman is, that the
state board of inspection exists and that
through its endeavOrs he has secured the

but thought ought to be.
Reasoning from the history of the past
we have a right to believe that we stand
on solid ground once more, and that,
slowly though 1t may be. surely we are
nearing another year of prosperity in the
business of cattle raising
Experience having demonstrated that
1t Is bad policy to ship half-fatted stock.
the wisdom of holding for more favora-
bic season will not be questioned. The
unremuneTatiye prices which the farmers
received for cOTn-fed beeves during the
past two seasons were so discouraging to
them that there were less inquiries for
feeders from the ranges this year than
heretofore, and a large number of this
class of cattle will be carried over to the

his private business, and while con-
irving plans to defeat the Mormons
he managed to build up an immense
business and accumulated consider
able fortune. In his intercourse with
the public, which was more extensive
than that of any other person in the
county, he won universal respect and
esteem. In the spring of 1880 he
was married to Miss Lizzie Davis,
and shortly afterwards removed from
the Territory. He had become ex-
tensively interested in the forward
ing, banking and mercantile business,
and followed up the Utah & North
ern railroad to Dillon, where he be-
came permanently located. His po-
litical sagacity soon became known,
and in a quiet way became an i'm
portant factor in Montana politics
His private business, however, had
become so extensive that it absorbed
most of his time. Mr.. White has al
ways been a strong aud consistent
Republican,, and rendered valuable
services in the late Montana elections

Lo, the Poor Indian.


Up in the Sitting Bull country, a
while ago, an Indian, who had never
seen any Of the pale face style of
food, came in from the war-path to
the reservation and drew his rations.
He made a light meal of unground
coffee the first day, and, as he over
ate, the coffee in him swelled and he
had difficulty in buttoning his pants
around the pain he had on hand.
In a day or two (as soon as he had
succeeded in getting his interior de-
partment quieted down little) he
tackled his ration Of candles. These
he decided to parboil, in order to save
trouble from indigestion. The dish
was not so much of glittering sue
cess as he had anticipated, and as he
remorsefully picked the candle wick
ing out Of his teeth, he made some
remark that grated harshly on the
aesthetic ears of those who stood near,
He then tried meal OF yeast powder
with vinegar. He ate the yeast pow
der and then took pint of vinegar
TO wash it down. At first there was
a feeling of glad surprise in his stom-
ach, which rapidly gave place to UNI
availing remorse. A can Of yeast
powders in an Indians midst don t
seem to DO prepared for pint of
vinegar, and the result of such an
unfortunate circumstance is not graf
flying. 1t took him about week to
get back to where he dared to get up
another meal for himself. Then ke
fricassed couple of pounds of laun-
dry soap and ate that, He then wen.
off into the woods aud returned no
more.

A correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun thus describes the electric type
writer, which promises to rival to
some extent the telephone. The in
strument in appearance somewhat
resembles an ordinary mechanical
typewriter. 1t has key board, and
the types are placed on steel bars,
which play upon a common center, as
In the case with the typewriter. The
motive power used is electricity, by
means of which evenness of action is
acquired. No matter how heavily or
how lightly the keys are struck, the
impression on the paper is the same.
A remarkable feature of the invention
used as typewriter is that the car
riage moves automatically both for
ward and backward. When the
end Of the line is reached the carriage
returns to the starting point without
the aid of the operator, and the pa
per bar moves one notch, SO that all
that is required of the operator is to
depress the keys. The most i'm
portant field for the new invention is
said to be in connection with the tel
egraph. 1t is said at the Patent
Office that the instrument can be
used both as a transmitter and re-
oeiver of intelligence over single
wire, no matter how great the dis
tance may be. The receiving in
strument does not require the attend
ance OF an operator, but prints the
dispatch automatically. The instru-
ments at both ends of the line print
the dispatch sent, and SO a safeguard
against mistakes is provided. 1t is
claimed that the electric typewriter
will be valuable as local aid to
business, and offers many advantages
over the telephone.

The readers of the Haley papers
will doubtless remember the glee
with which those sheets pointed to
the fact that only $lS7.50 had been
sent from that city to aid in the d.
vision fight at Boise. The "dear
readers will remember how this
$3.50 story was repeated day after
day in those delectable sheets, to-
gether with emphatic charges that
the friends of Logan county had CON
tributed thousands to their own
cause"
The Press desires to call attention
to the fact that the above list of
bills in the interest of county division,
aggregating S4,l92, was allowed
March 18th. In the meantime, the
Haley papers have been as dumb as
oysters on the subject, which has,
certainly been IA matter of much pub
lie interest as to receive passing
notice in the news columns. Since
March 18th these papers have several
times referred to the sums raised in
Logan county by private subscription
but not word have they had to say
about the $4,l92 taken out of the
public treasury of Alturas county.
There has been no itemized account
given to the public or the taxpayers
who pay these bills.
That item of S1,l25 advanced by
the HALEY National Bank looks sus-
picious. Why not specify for what
it was advanced? The county rec
ords show that it has been "paid "
10y the people,.
Nearly all this money was tad
