The Brand at Hereford is
strictly out on two lines that
will bring it into trouble if it
does not look out. One is urg-
ing the citizens to dispose of
their dead cats, chickens, dogs,
surplus tin cans, etc, other
than by throwing them into the
business streets or alley. The
other is thinking a dance could
be other than a sure passport
to a place not mentioned out OF
a pulpit. The Slayer has vast,
ed much wind in Il vain endeav.
or to induce Canyon citizens tc
see the unsightly things that
are thrown into its streets as
they appear to us. The Brand
can learn the same way. The
other matter we hpve held our
own opinion and peace about 1t
at the same time as The Brand
will also find out is the Surest
road to harmony with Its
readers.

Easter Chimes.

On Easter day she went to church
Dress ed in the latest style,
With newest gown, and bonnet line,
She strutted down the aisle.
She bowed and smiled at every one,
Her head perched in the air;
She thought that all the eyes around
At her alone would stare.
Behind her came her better haii,
No smile was on his face;
He neither looked TO right or LETT,
But walked with measured pace.
TO no one did he say II word,
But sat quite grum and still,
His only thought, how in the world
He'd pay that heavy bill.

KANSAS CITY STOCK REPORT,
Kansas City Stock Yards,
tnril = 1910

Kansas City Stock Yards, |
April, ), 1902. |
Kansas City prices have
scored such a steady advance,
that the Slight reaction yester,
day was not expected. While
feed is nearly one hundred per |
cent higher than for several
years past, the prices at which
fat cattle are selling is surely |
making the feeder returns tor
his feed and other expenses.
The top price for the pastseven
days was realized on Tuesday |
by E. p. Carnahan, of Stock
dale, Kas., who sold twenty |
head of steers that weighed |
1369-lbs each at 200 per hun
dred. Butcher COWS and heit-
ers are in too light supply for
the requirements of the trade,
and prices are correspondingiy
higher. One bunch of mixed |
steers and heifers brought the
second best price of the week,
6.75 per hundred, and empha-
sizes the fact that quality and |
finish are the main factors in
establishing value, and that
heavy weight cuts but little fig |
ure these days. Choice native
steers are bringing today Gao to
$50, fair to good 800 to 6.35,
butcher COWS and heifers 3, 80 to
$50, Gamers $50 to 1925, bulls
1926 to 800.
Stock and feeding cattle are
in very moderate supply, with
very few that have weight or
quality enough to attract spec
ial attention. Choice bred 800 |
to 1O0O-lb feeders are selling 20
cents higher. One bunch that
weighed 951-lbs bringing $50
per hundred. But the supply |
runs largely to plain bred and
light weight stuff, that are slow
sale at 3.25 to 400 with well |
bred stockers 400 to AS, and
heavy feeders 400 to 5.35.
The supply of Southern cattle
was liberal and prices during the
early part of the week advanced
20 to 40 cents per hundred, but
the decline of the past two days
amounts to from 10 to 20 cents,
and leaves us with a net gain of
10 to % cents per hundred. The
top for the week was $50 with
several lunches at 900 to 6.25,
with plain butcher steers bring
ing from SIS to 600.
The much talked of shortage
in hog supplies has at last ma
terialized, and up to Wednesday
of this week the long apticipat'
ed advance in values was
strongly in evidence, with sales
Wednesday as high as 7.O5 per
hundred, the top notch of the
season. But there was a slight
reaction the past three days.
Top today $50, with prices
ranging from 6.25 for lights to
6 80 for fancy heavies.

COM MON SENSE.

IT PAYS to use reason in advertising as well
in any other part of your business. IT AL
so PAYS to advertise the merits of your
business rather than to advertise the denlerits
of your competitor When we say our losses
from bad accounts for 1901 is less than one
tenth of one per cent of our sales for that year,
or much less than the value of the tWine and
wrapping paper used, there is great
why you should trade with a spot cash house
where "you will not have to pay for any
elses goods which you will have to do il you
trade witt, credit houses" Too. such argument
would be more convincing if those who preach
it did not extend credit TO certain customers.
Neither is there any reason why firm with
several stores cannot and does not keep clean
stock as a firm with one store. On the other
hand there are many why they can buy
goods cheaper.
We consider it more to our credit to say that
we are selling the same brand OF flour, put UP
by the same mill, at So. 1 per cwt. that other
concerns are selling at $3.50 to $40 than to
attack Our competitors methods OF doing busi=
ness. We have been first to make every reduc-

PEACE RUMoRs CURRENT.
Operators and Miners May Yet Settle
Differences.

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 5.-There were
no developments during the morning
looking to a. settlement outside the
commission of the existing differences
between the mine workers and their
employers. Rumors of peace are still
current, but none of the attorneys on
either side profess: to have any infor-
nation on the subject. It is hoped by
the strike commission that the attor-
neys will find a way to expedite the
hearings. Up to this time the pro-
ceedings have been somewhat slow
and, the commission threatens to
adopt rules that will hasten matters
If the attorneys for both sides do not
agree on some quick method of pre-
senting the statistics and other data
relating to- wages. The lawyers have
held several conferences and it is
likely they will soon come to some
understanding.
Andrew Mattey, a Slavonian, who
was employed at Coke Bros colliery,
was the first witness called. He was
the president. of his local union and
was told by the company, he said, that
If he#quit the union he would be given
boss job. He refused and later was
given such bad work that he gave. up

Washington, Dec. President j. j.
Hill Of the Great Northern railway is
in Washington to consult with Sec
retary Root on bids for transporting
of government supplies to- the Phillip
pines. The Hill interests want to
make Seattle the shipping point and
their bids for sending government
business from the Pacific coast to Ma
nila are below any other propositions.
Mr.. Hills presence in Washington
has revived interest in the efforts to
settle the shipping point of govern
ment supplies for the Philippines. On
this point Mr.. Hill says that he has no
interest in having the government give
up its line Of transports now plying
between San Francisco and Manila
and turn the business over to the line
between Seattle and Manila beyond
the fact that if the change were made
I it would make an excellent connection
for his railroad lines. Mr.. Hill added
that he has no direct interest in the
Boston Steamship company, which has
made a bid for the government busi-
ness. He said that the bid was so low
that it is simply impossible for the
government to do business at an equal
cost, and it is impossible, too,; for any
company to buy the government trans.
ports and enter into competition with
the Seattle bid.
Mr.. Hills admission that the rail
road company is indirectly interested
|, in getting Headquarters for army ship
ments moved from San Francisco to
Seattle will add zest to the fight be-
tween the two cities for the control
of this business and the thing may de.
velop into a fight between transconti
mental railroads. Is:
| Californians in Washington expect
that Mr.. Hartman of the Southern
Pacific, who is trying to develop the
commerce of San Francisco, may enter
the fight before it is ended because the
removal of the army business from
| San Francisco to Seattle would mean
a considerable loss of freight to his
railroad properties. The Atchison
Topeka and Santa Fe is also directly
| interested since it now enters San
Francisco and handles considerable
part Of the governments freight busi-
ness from Chicago to- San Francisco
for shipment to Manila.

Denies Reported Combination OF Rail-

Cleveland, Dec. 5.-Grand Master
T. H. Morrissey Of the. Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen returned here dur
ing the day from Chicago, where he
was in conference with prominent rep
resentatives of his organization in the
West and Northwest Upon request
Mr.. Morrissey dictated and gave the
Associated Press a signed statement
concerning the reported combined
movement on the part of the four
leading organizations Of railway en-
ployes to secure an advance of wages
for their 100000 members. In part it
follows: z
The report emanating from Chica-
go that 10000 men, represented by
tho established railway labor organiza-
tions, were forming a federation or
combination for the purpose of MAX
ing concerted demand for increased
wages on the railway companies in the
territory west of Chicago are not au-
thoritative and no such move is in
contemplation. 3, 5es;.sssyy.s...,.s .,.ss
1t is true, as has heretofore been
officially stated, that the conductors
and trainmen contemplate presenting
requests for increased wages to lines
in the Western territory, within "a
short time, but the procedure will be
regular and orderly and in accordance
with the established rules and customs
Of the Order of Railway Conductors
and Brotherhood of Railway Train.
men.
The statement that an immense
combination of railway employees is
in process of formation with a pros
pect of general railway strike and
serious interference with traffic follow
ing it is no doubt as disquieting to the
public as it is unjust to the organiza
tions.'' Ss ##s
