CATTLE-There was not a heavy run of
cattle, but there seemed to be about enough
to satisfy buyers orders, consequently no
special change was noted in the general
trade.
A fair proportion of the supply was
made up of beef steers and butcher stock
and the inquiry from killers was Just about
sufficient to take care of the run. Finished
dry lot beeves found ready sale at steady
to strong prices and less desirable lots were
picked up In good season to hl in at prac-
tically unchanged figures.
Cows and heifers, IL in good flesh, were
also comparatively free sellers at fully
steady figures and a clearance was affected
early in the day. Thin grassy grades sold
moderately wen at the recent drop in
prices, the market all around showing no
material change.
Mixed butchers stock, bulls, stays and
calves were picked up at steady prices, with
only a moderate number on sale.
The supply of stockers and feeders was
demand. Stock cows, heifers and calves
sold steady also. Representative sales:

Summer Friendships.

Friendship is ''for serene days and
country rambles" and for rough
weather and hard roads as well, if it Ia
friendship at all. The word is only too
often abused. Choosing friends should
not be a mere accident or because
people are in the same shotel in the
Summer, or because they meet some
where in travelling or are thrown to-
gether in country pastimes. OF course
it does not follow that real friend may
not be found in Summer, and it is a
great pleasure when one can add a
kindred spirit to the number of ones
friends. The responsibility of parents
in regard TO their daughters acquaint-
ances during the Summer season, is
the subject of thoughtful chapter in
the June Delineator, under the head OF
Social Observances, in which certain
general principles of good form are
laid down which will be of service to
every reader.

In From Buckeye.

Joe Raycraft came in from the Buck
eye placer mines last evening where
several mining men are prospecting the
ground. He reports the water supply
pretty low as yet but expects it will
rise in few days. The snow in Como
range back of the mines is heavier than
for number of years and good sup
ply of water should be the result. The
men that are mining are more than
satisfied with what they have found
and some of the panings have gone be-
yond expectations. This is one of the
biggest mining propositions in Nevada
and when water is taken into the Buck
eye range there will be more gold
taken out than ever came from the
Klondike. The parties who are going
over the ground are practical men and
they are taking samples from every
district. Considerable gold has been
extracted by them as they have a num-
Der of rockers on the ground. The
Buckeye mines are not a poor mans
property as the expense of bringing
water to the ground is beyond the
reach of the average miner, but for a
company scheme this ground offers the
best inducements of any section in
many states.-Appeat

Opium Pipe.

Wednesday morning about 2 O'Clock
Indian Albert of Woodfords was taken
to Jail by Constable King. Albert was
drunk and was beating his mahala near
the school house, when the officer
aforesaid swooped down on him and
took him and two mahalas to the lock-
up. The officer searched the Indians
for whisky and found complete
opium outfit. A few hours later the
matter was brought to the attention of
Justice of the Peace L 5 Ezell, who de-
stroyed the opium outfit and ordered
the Indians released.

cases cheaper than the mail order
houses, and yet our customers persist
in sending their money away from
home, in paying freight charges, and
SO on, in selecting from catalogue in
stead of the goods themselves. The
trouble is that they don't know that we
can do just as well or better for them
at home.u
The last sentence tells the whole
story-the people don't know.
The mail-order house sends its cata~
logue with it's alluring low prices
"Why Jones never advertised any
prices like that'-and the order is sent
out of town.
The retailer would feel aggrieved if
anybody were to intimate to him that
the mail-order houses away off in the
big cities hadmore classified knowledge
about the people in his territory then
he possessed himself
Yet he sees the results of that knowl-
edge every catalogues sent into
his town and persistently followed up
with good literature until orders result.
How many retailers have carefully
kept mailing list?
How many see to it that they not
only have such list, but that the
people on that list are kept constantly
in mind of the fact that they sell GER
tain things at such and such prices?
The retailer has the remedy for this
mail order nightmare in his own hands.
Study the methods of the mail-order
house-it's queer game that two can't
play at, you know.
Fight them with their own weapons
good advertising.
If you can sell goods as cheaply or
cheaper than the mail order houses
your money drawer wont show it, if
nobody outside of yourself knows it.
Have well kept mailing list just as
they do.
Buy as much newspaper space as
you can afford, and fill it with good
business talk-store news.
Send out bright little booklet at
certain seasons.
Have some little packageslips printed
and see that one goes out with each
bundle.
Take half a dozen articles from the
catalogue, quote the catalogue prices
and put your own prices beside them.
Show your trade the folly of ordering
goods by mail, paying freight charges
etc, when they can buy them just as
cheaply of you, have the actual goods
to select from, and keep their money
at home.
Don't call on their town pride-that's
whining give them good and sound
reasons, hard dollar reasons, why they
should buy Of you instead of the mail
order houses.
Be up and doing, blow your horn, in
fuse some new enthusiasm into your
advertising. Show the people in your
town that you are very much alive,
that your goods are just as up-to-date,
and fresh and good, and cost just as
little as any they can buy out of town.
And SO you will live content in the
enjoyment of the trade that is yours
by right-Benjanain Sherbo,o, in The
