probable Receipts this Year.

The year 1901 will make new
records in receipts at Kansas
City of cattle, calves. hogs and
mum Der of cars received. Esti-
mating only 10000 cattle for the
remainder of this month. the
years total would be 1,966.000.
The previous large year was
1900 when 100000 arrived.
The total receipts of calves this
year will be around 10000 ex.
ceeding the previous big year,
1900, by close to 10000 Hog
receipts, with reduced supplies
from now until the first of the
year, will run out at least 300.
900, whereas the previous big
year, that of 1908, recorded less
that by 3.673.000. The total
mum Der of cars will not fall short
of $4,000 The year 1900, with
1882, holds the record pre-.
viously. Sheep receipts will
probably not get over 100000
aud have been exceeded twice

FEEDING.

Many Of the Larimer county
farmers who have hitherto fed
lam bs are feeding cattle instead
this season, says the Denver
Record Stockman. Lamb feed,
ing on u large scale, was not
considered practicable. in view
of the losses sustained last
season, the high prices asked
for lambs by the range men and
the excessively high price of
corn, The latter product went
up to lao per cwt,. lald down
in Fort Collins last week. The
number of lambs on feed in
Larimer county this season is
estimated at $4,000. In feeding
these wheat, barley and oats
largely take the place of corn,
1t is expected that fat lam bs
will be high by the time the
shipping season opens. and that
those who do feed will make a
good profit.
Over 5000 head of cattle have
been shipped to Fort Collins for
feeding this season. They are
composed principally OF 2 and
3 year old heifers, bought in the
drouth stricken sections of Kan
sas and Missouri. and were laid
down here at from $40 to 1924 pei
head. They are not being fed
for beef, but for the general
stock market next summer. II
the grass springs up we'll in the
drouth stricken districts next
season, it is expected that there
will be demand for this stock
to ship back again at prices thai
will pay the feedeas at Fort Co
Inns a good profit
The large amount Of feeding
being done, coupled with the
early winter, has stitfened the
hay market. Alfalfa hay is
now worth 81 per ton in the
stack in and around Fort Col
Inns, and many are buying W
large quantities IN anticipation
of a further advance The snow
now lies about foot deep, bott

HCKEY STILL A SPlNDER
MAGOON ANSWERS HER NEW
PETITION.
Says That The Gold Cure Failed
To Reform Her And That She Is
Relapsing.

j. Alfred Magoon today filed his new
answer to the amended petition of Re-
becca Panee Mumeku known as Becky
Bishop" for termination of her spend
thrift trust. The guardian sets forth not
only that Becky was a spendthrift at
the time when the trust was formed,
but that she is one yet, and that she
still loves the cOncoctions that cheer
and inebriate. She loves them so much,
it Is alleged, that gold cure expert
ment failed to bring about permanent
result and she manifests a growing
capacity to imbibe the liquids that
make spendthrifts.
The answer sets forth that at the
time of the appointment of a guardian
the petitioner was a spendthrift and
that she has not reformed; that she
was a habitual drunkard and long af-
ter respondent was appointed guardian
for her as aforesaid, petitioner, being
unable to resist her degire for drink
took the gold cure, on account OF
which she abstained for some time
the use of Intoxicating liquors, but
that afterwards petitioner relapsed in
to her former habits of drinking and
has lately been drinking excessively
that not long since. while she was un-
der the influence of Intoxicating liquor
she discharged a revolver in drunken
alteration and was taken to the sta
tion house; the petitioner has been re-
peatedly within the last year under the
influence of liquor and is relapsing into
her old habits of excessive drinking"
Magoon says that up to the time oi
the sudden filing of the petition for 9
termination of the trust the petitioner
was very friendly towards him, and
gratefully thanked him at times foi
having stopped her wild and reckless
course of extravaganza, which would
have made her a bankrupt before now

PEARL HARBORLAND SUITS
ARGUMENT OVER RIGHT TO A
JURY.
Government Opposes Submitting the
Cases to Juries and Holds That Estee
Should Take Sole Jurisdiction.

Argument was begun this morning
before United States Judge Estee on
the answers to the Pearl harbor land
condemnation suits, brought by the
United States government to secure
land for a naval station. Port Com
mander Merry Captain Pond of the
lroquois and Captain White, naval en-
gineer were in court all morning to
hear the arguments.
United States District Attorney Baird
and assistant Dunno appeared for the
government, and f.. M. Hatch, ex-
Juuge Stanley and H. A. Bigelow for
various defendants. Dunno made a mo-
the demand for a jury trial, contending
the demand fora jury trials, contnding
that such demand had no place in the
answer to the suit. Dunno argued most
of the morning and was followed by
Hatch. At noon court adjourned until
1870. when argument was taken up
again.
The government will vigorously op-
pose jury trial all through. At pres
ent the argument is on the method of
raising the issue of jury trial 1t is
contended that the answers to the COM
plant filed should simply reply to the
issues and leave the qquestion of jury
or no jury to be settled when the trial
begins. If Estee strikes from the an
swers the demands for a jury the ques-
ton will come up later, when the trials
begin.
The question of the right to jury in
such a case is a statutory one and both
sides are submitting authorities to
Estee.
1t is thought that jury might be in
clined to give larger sums than Judge
would give, in exchange for the land,
especially jury drawn in Hawaii. The
government claims that the decision
as to the value of the property is some
thing that should be left to the discre-
tion of the United States Judge alone.
If the defendants succeed in getting
juries the suits may be very long drawn
out and expensive. Each defendant
would have a right to a separate jury
hearing, and it would take a long time
to dispose of the cases.

1T is caused by the water and sewage

carried from the stables by a drain
down Ward street to Kawaiahao. road
and then Eva on Kawaiahao road to
the open ditch which leads through the
Sanitary laundry property. But be-
cause the drain is stopped up or for

.kOHALA WATER SUPPLY
PROJECT ON FOOT TO TAP THE
WATERSHED.
Would Conserve Billions Of Wasted and
Precious Gallons of Water-To Cost
Two and a Half Millions.

Governor Dole and his heads of de-
partments spent most of this morning
discussing the proposal of Colonel
Jones, who represents certain Chicago.
capitalists to develop, conserve and
distribute the water of the KOhala
range. ............
Although the matter is one concern
ing public lands and improvements
thereon and has been before the gov
ernment for some time, nothing beyond
the most general features OF the matter
have been made public.
The Executive council were occupied
with the discussion of granting the
contract most of this morning and a
decision is likely to be reached at 2
o'clock this afternoon. No particulars
were allowed to be made puDllc how
ever.
the project is = brief to conserve the
watershed of the dense forests growing
upon the ridges and gulches of the Ko-
nala range from HOnokane gulCh in
kohala to Muliwai gulch i'm Hamakua,
which are now going to waste; and to
use this water to irrigate the sugar dis
tricts of Kohala to the west and Ha-
makua to the east.
The water would be conveyed through
bitches, tunnels and fumes, the whole
enterprise meanin~ the outlay of some
two millions and a half of capital which
will be subscribed from outside sources-
ii. p. Gehr of the Hilo-Kohala rail-
road has had a party working in the
mountains all summer measuring the
water supply.
The Bisnop Estate, who own several
miles of water producing country ex-
tending from Honokane gulch to Wal
pio guich, have also had a surveying
party in the district for several weeks.
which has constructed weirs and made
various measurements of the water fall
and flow.
1t is estimated theoretically that
there are some twenty billions of cubic
feet of water annually running to waste
in this region which would nrove of al
most incalculable value to the thirsty
lands at the foot of the range.
