1t announced that the Armour and

TO draw some of the Oklahoma hogs 10

an uphill business because oklahoma
shippers will not want to leave regu-

SHIPPERS AND NOTES.

Every day the conviction is becoming
stronger that the packers VIII rot salt
down any cheap hogs this year
Now that the prospect Tor a big bust
ness AT the packing houses and the
stockyards is good. she street car com
pany ought TO consider the demand for
the extension of the track 10 the stock

Superintendent Dulaney Will probably
have some Of the preachers 10 dinner to-
cav He took home from the yards last
evening a dozen nice yellow-Iegged chick
ems.

farmer to get some mighty fine stockers

At the present time Street Commits

man in the city with the packing house
district. X is all on account OF the way
in which he is opening and grading Sew
