pectirg in that vicinity said John
Wearne of Cherry Greek. New, at the
Cullen yesterday. eft we only had ade-
quate railroad facilities that country
ken OF the average man here in salt
Lake. There are lots of paying properties
which only need developing 10 come TO
the front. As we are situated at present
we are seventy-five miles distant from
the nearest railroad point at Wells OF
course there is the same cid talk in re-
J gard TO a road which has been in vogue
since the Rio Grande Western surveyed
that district some years ago. but as yet
{ il all seems TO come 10 na.ught although
/ we are still hopeful"
Samuel H. Hedges. contracting en-
] gineer Of the Chicago Bridge & Iron CON-
pary Is registered at the knutSfOrd-
| While MIR. Hedges is very secretive re-
garding the occasion Of TiS visit to Salt
Lake ST the same time the inference is
/ drawn that he has hen on the nest from
I the fact that he spent the major portion
I Of his time yesterday around the local
railroad freight Offices vita a pencil and
tab figuring out the rates on iron and
steel.
j, s. Williams, when seen yesterday at
! the Kenyon stated that general stock
raising and agricultural pursuits in
/ Queensland. Australia, were in bad
| shape lie said When / was in Queens
land couple of years ago things were
anything but rosy owing TO the prevailing
/ drought and from advices l have received
| from there since 1 left the farmers seem
/ to have gone from bad 10 worse. Up
! country il is said herds are rapidly dying
out owing 10 the lack Of feed and there
are hundreds OF square niles OF country
/ where Tor TWO years past the cdJJI6 ana
sheep have existed solely upon shrub
/ which in appearance IS very similar 10
| that OF the sagebrush; there are said 10
I be in Esaat district herds OF stock whose
hides have never been wetted by a rain
storm. While the government is doing ell
| IN its power TO help the StoCkmen the
/ outlook is far from promising. A reduc-
/ ton OF 1915 per cent has also been made
I in railway freight rates on fodder 10
keep the animals alive. Between the ticks
and the drought the stockraisers are hay
| ing a pretty bad row 10 noe. We're II
not for the high prices ruling for beer
and wool the industry would be a thing
| Of the past. Williams is on his way TO
Smallpox in mild form seems to be
| prevalent throughout the west, sad
| DR.. Z. NJ. Watkins of Wetmore, Kans.,
! at the Cullen last night, Il am now on
my Way back from a trip 20 California
and in that state l found the disease 10
| be as prevalent as il was in Kansas when
[ left. When the disease broke out in
/ our state of course people were consider
ably alarmed and there were conLncring
diagnoses OF the cases with The prepOnQ-
| eranee in favor Of chickeapox; however,
the people were Sufficiently alarmed 10
| get Vaccinated and eagerly awaited them
selves of the opportunity in OswegO.
| There was no quarantine put in operation
with the result that those patients who
had the disease in a mild form Went
about their daily avocatiOns and mingled
with people in public places. When lett
home there were some 200 cases IN
Kansas City with the record Of two
deaths and in St. Joseph there were prob
ably sixty up TO date while smallpox was
scattered generally throughout the
state"
]. T. Blackman. the well known stock
dealer of Beaver City, Neb., came to town
yesterday on his semi-annual stocker and
feeder buying trip In speaking OF the
cattle situation last night, he said at the
Cu.lJn: Finished stock is not going 20
fetch the prices this season that were
reached last year. and as a consequence
buyers of feeders are holding off for
spell, in order TO thoroughly grasp the
trend OF affairs. The way the market
shows at present, there is a decided fall
ing off in prices since six weeks ago.
During that time corn-fed steers have
dropped 80 cents per 100 pounds lower,
which means from SIS TO SIS falling off on
each animal, While upon ordinary stock
the losses average about 81 per head
Blackman states that while there have
been quite number Of buyers IN the
Utah neld, the majority Of them have re-
turned home without making any pur-
chases.
