AFFAIRS At SOUTH OMAHA
Heavy Run Of Range Cattle is Looked for
by Commission Men.
sRAssERs ARE IN PRIME CONDITION
wyoming Promises TO send Cattle
that VIII Reach the Record
Made Last Year, which
was the Top.

While cattle and hog receipts at the
stock yards here continue to show an in
crease over the same period of time last
year, there is q deficit in sheep receipts.
Commission men, however, expect that a
large proportion Of the deficiency in sheep
receipts will be made up before the end
Of the year.
A great deal Of interest is being manifest
by those dealing in live stock in the con-
dition Of cattle on the ranges. Heavy ship
ments of grass cattle are looked for before
long, and additional facilities for the hand
ling of heavy runs have been provided by
the management of the Stock Yards com
pany.
In talking about conditions in Wyoming
last evening, a we'll known Wyoming stock
grower said that unless the early summer
signs fail Wyoming cattle sent to this
market this fall will rank we'll with any
shipped here last year and topped the mar
ket. Herds in the eastern part Of Wyo-
ming are in excellent condition and give
promise of improving before being shipped.
Timely rains have redeemed the injury
lone by the dry spell earlier in the season
and the range grass is now as good as it
was last year at this time. What is wanted
now, said this s~tockman, is for the feed
to get into condition for curing and thus
provide late fall pasturage. A great deal
Of COW stuff will be shipped here this sum
mer and fall on account Of the govern
ment's order directing that range fences
be taken down. 1t is expected here that
heavy shipments Of grass cattle will tend
to break the market to som extent and
result in cheaper beef.
Building High School Annex.
Contractor Kavan is pushing the work
on the three-room frame addition to the
High school annex, Twenty-sixth and N
streets. The excavating for the founda-
ton has been completed and material IL
arriving on the ground daily. While II
may not be possible to complete and fur
nish this addition by the time school opens
in September the contractor expects to BIZ
able to turn the building over to the schoo'
district by the end of September.
with the three additional rooms at this
annex the overcrowded condition Of the
lower grades at the Central school will b.
relieved, thus giving more room for the
more advanced pupils.
The two-room addition to the Hawthorne
school will also help to reduce the pressure
at the High school building and will tent
to do away with the renting Of outside
rooms at Twentieth and l. streets.
1t is the intention of the Board Of Edu.
cation to let the contract for the two-roon
addition to the Albright school as soon al
the details can be arranged.
Another Dry sunday.
Contrary to the expectations of some yes
terday was another dry Sunday in Soutl
Omaha. Mayor Koutsky declined to rescint
his order for Sunday closing. Yesterday wal
the third Sunday of the present dry spell
and as on the other two Sundays the down.
town streets were practically deserted.
