as conductors, the whole communicat.

able steel points pointing upward,
would not this serve as great conductor

THREE inquiries in one day from East
ern land-seekers is the record of the
United States land office. These in.
quirios came from New York, Missouri

Simply because a belief has been sown

just why they should have been picked

Can it be possible that Mr. Turner ;

that q carload OF young black bass will
soon be sent out to stock Loon lake was
received with delight by the sportsmen
of Spokane Falls. This game fish has
few superiors, either Tor piscatorial
sport or for table use, and the water OF
Loon lake is believed to be admirably
adapted to their propagation. As Loon
lake has no outlet, the bass will not be
able to escape into other streams and
lakes to prey upon the dainty trout.

News From The Southwest.

Mr. J. j. Spencer, travelling solicitor for
Embry d Gregory livestock commission
merchants of Kansas City, came in from
the south last night, after an absence OF
six weeks in southwest Missouri in the in
terest of his firm.
Mr.. Spencer reports more cattle and hogs
being fed in southwest Missouri this year
than for many years before.
While immense numbers of cattle are be-
ing fed In Southwest Missouri, he saws they
are not doing as we'll as hey might, on
account of the corn being so large that the
Cattle can not properly masticale it. He
suggests that shelters and crushers should
be in more general use. During the past
two weeks, Mr.. Spencer has run
three special stock trains, of eighteen cars
each, into Kansas City, for his finn, from
southwest Missouri, over the Gulf road.
He will remain here with bis family un-
I'll Monday, when he will GO south.
MIR. Spencer is an experienced
livestock man and is The
best on the road. He has
a vast acquaintance throughout the west
and is most excellant business man. On
account Of his extensive acquaintance and
Il innate knowledge of railroads, many of
his friends have urged him to become a
candidate for railroad commissioner this
year. Mr.. Spencer is a thorough going,
constitutional democrat and is
fitted for the position, but he has
given no intimation yet of allowing his
name 10 be used in that way. Should he
DO so, he would delight many of his friends
who wish TO work for him.
