BUTTER, EGGS. AND POULTRY.

There il . glut in the local butter
market. Nearly all tho families in
town have . double supply on hand,
and tho rauchers are bringing more
every day. Tho price, so fa., has
been maintained q rs cent, per
pound for 6rst-class, or so cents Der
swo.pound rolls; hut il the ranch~,s
keep On Cutting tho market they
must soon cut down the price to Is
cents and even lower, per pound, as
Is the case in Utah and even in parts
OF Southern Idaho. At those figures
there would not only be no profit, but
. positive loss.
In their own interest the TIMES
therefore urges the rsnchers to bring
in no moro butter for two or three
weeks. 1t they refrain the supply on
hand will DO exhausted, and con-
su'ne's will be willing to pay 25 or
even 80 cents for . prime article.
But. better still. il the producers
could keep their butter until next fall,
they could then obtain IS or 40 ce hts
. pound for it.
AS to eggs tho supply is very
limited. and mach less than the de.
msnd. Fresh eggs offered by known
'anchers. sell rapidly At four dozen
for . dollar, which 10 an excellent
price for this season Of the year.
It's. therefore, surprising tha. our
ranohers should no. engage in the
production of eggs more than they do.
The demand is always greater than
the supply. and At prices ranging
from Is to SO cents, which are GER
ssinly highly profitable.
What has just been said with refer.
snoe to eggs applies equally we'll to
poultry. Spring chickens sell for so
cents apiece. and turkeys from rs
cents upward per pound. A. such
prices almost any kind Of manages
ment should result in profit.

II they do call up the election cases,

my OF Music last evening before an au-
dlence that filed every portion Of the
house. His subject was a general re-
view Of his explorations in Africa dur
ing the last twenty years. 1t was no.
ticeable that the lecturer was in better
physical condition than when lie ap-
peared here last fall. He was more Wig
OrouS and his voice was much stronger.
As the interest In the lecture is more in
the personality OF Mr.. Stanley than In
his Oratorical powers, the rapid survey
of his labors was enjoyed by every one. -
This will be the great literary event
OF the season.
The conventional applause which
greets Stanley on his appearance is
scarcely as complimentary as Is the
fixed attention with which from the first
he is regarded The deeply bronzed,
short, gray-haired man carries with
him the impression Of ease with power.
While not an oratorical star, he is
nevertheless sufficiently endowed with
vocal and illustrative power TO make an
impressive speaker He is very much
in earnest and this earnestncSs tells.
AT times his vivid portrayal OF the vlciS-
situdeS, dangers and SuiicringS Of the
expedition force his audience to pitch

of the probable effect upon the DOmln-

that Your Grace intended to lay down
the proposition that in a question OF
this nature. wherein the religious ele-
mcnt does not enter, any Archbishop or
Bishop can speak infalliblY and COM

In reply to this letter Archbishop
O'Brien writes: 81 was under the i'm

The weapon is % feet long, and is
