Maintained-Hogs Somewhat Low
err.
Chicago, March 31-Cattle-The
week opens with an estimated run of
twenty thousand compared to 24,5S3
last Monday. Today's good supply
failed to weaken prices and the re-
cent advance was well maintained,
there, being an active demand once
more.
Reproductions thousand or there
abouts arrived today against 34,24S
last Monday. There was fairly active
general demand once more, but the
large supply caused an average de-
cline of s per hundred.
Sheep-Receipts today were esti-
mated at only fourteen thousand
against 1908 last Monday. Buyers
showed decidedly more eagerness to
take hold, owing to the meagre Of
ferings and prices took sudden jump
ten to fifteen per hundred.

prominent local commission houss
says From all indications strong
hands are raising the prices of pork at
this time and with further support of
the same kind the coming week 81 will
be no uncommon price for choice heavy
hogs"
Conspicuous among Saturdays hog
sales was one bunch of IS prime heavy
averaging 296 lbs at 81. They We're
taken by a SPECTATOR. The balance of
the load, 16 head, sold at $3.50. Early
in the day the best bid on this load
was $6.S7R straight.
Packers slaughtered hogs here for
the week ending March 20 as follows:
Armour. s9,SOo: Anglo-American. IT,
500; Boyd & Lunham, 1000; Continent
al. 1900; Hammond, 1900: Upton.
1900; Morris, $500: Swift, 29,S00:
Schwarzchild & s., 800; Omaha Pro-
vision company. $4,000 and city butch
ers, 10000. making total of $4,000,
against $4,000 the previous week. 49,
600 year ago, and 200 two years
ago.
The average cost price of hogs at
Chicago last week was $3.50 and the
top price for carload lots $685.. being
the highest weeks average since the
week ended Sept. IS last, when the
average was 1913, and top price
s7371s; average the previous week,
s6.41, and year ago, $780,
Cattle sold high in March: in fact
there has been only one March in over
twenty five years when they sold high
err in Chicago than they did this month.
The top was $40, against 1925 for
March, 1901, and s4.75 in March. 1896
1t was March of 1882 when they sold
higher than in this month. The top
the third month of that year was $7.65,
but, while the top was higher then, the
average price of beef cattle this month
is undoubtedly the highest on record
for March. The average price this
month is fully s1.5O above the March
average of the last twenty-five years.
For 1902 to date eleven markets re-
ceived 6,460,000 hogs, being the largest
total on record for the first three
months of any year, showing a gain of
100000 compared with a year ago, and
100000 over the corresponding time two
years ago. The total this week is 420,-
600, against $4,000 last week, $4,000
a year ago, and 100000 two years ago.

Washington, Oct. 20. - President
Roosevelt has written two or three par
agraphs in the annual message which
he will send to congress next December,
which are OF greater importance to
Alaska than any communication on the
subject of this territory that has been
written by any president. In these
paragraphs Mr.. Roosevelt urges con-
gress, in the strongest terms, and with
emphasis that leaves no doubt of his
earnestness on the subject, that the
land laws of the United States be ex-
tended in their fullness to Alaska. He
urges that no other measure of legisla-
tion at this time is so greatly needed
for the development of our possessions
in the far North:
In setting forth his views on the SUBJ
ject the president takes the ground that
it is unfair to withhold the enactment
of laws which, while costing the
government little, mean everything to
the development of comparatively I'M
settled regions. Alaska, he believes,
has been treated with scant considera.
ton in regard to the land laws, and he
agrees fully with the views of those
who have been declaring for years that
some parts of Alaska are as capable Of
profitable settlement as were the
present states of Montana, Wyoming,
Idaho and Nevada.
The recommendation made by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and actually put in
writing by him, means that if congress
takes the action urged upon it Alaska
settlers will be enabled to take up and
secure full title to homesteads of 800
acres each, and that the anomalous
condition which has obtained in the
district ever since its purchase from
Russia will be abolished. President
Roosevelt said that he would continue
his active interest in Alaska needs, to
the end that legislation in line with
his pronounced views may be enacted
by congress at the earliest opportunity.
The activity of Canadians in Yukon
territory has greatly impressed the
president. This impression was en-
phasized by visit from United States
Consul Saylor, in Dawson, who told
him of the rapid adavnce Of prosperity
on the Canadian side of the border,
under the fostering influence Of
generous laws enacted by parliament
and carefully administered by the
Dominion executive department.
President Roosevelt is unwilling that
Alaska shall continue to suffer any dis
advantage which just and reasonable
laws can remedy. Several other recon-
mendations besides those relating to
land laws will appear in his forth COM
ing message.

THANKSGIVING.
President Roosevelt Issues CustO
mary Proclamation.

mary Proclamation.
Washington. Oct. 80. - President
Roosevelt has issued his proclamation
designating Thursday, November q, as
the day of thanksgiving. The procla.
nation is as follows:
According to the yearly custom of
our people, it falls upon the president
at this season to appoint day of festi-
val and thanksgiving to God. Over a
century and quarter has passed since
this country took it's place among the
nations of the earth, and during that
time we have had, on the whole, more
to be thankful for than has fallen to
the lot of any other people. Genera
tion after generation has grown to man
hood and passed away. Each has had
to bear it's particular burdens. each to
face its special crisis, and each has
known years of grim trial, when this
country was menaced Dy malice, do
nestle or foreign, when the hand of the
Lord was heavy upon it in death or
flood or pestilence, when in bodily dis
tress and anguish of soul it paid the
penalty of folly and froward heart.
Nevertheless decade by decade we have
struggled onward and upward, we now
abundantiy enjoy material well-being
and under the favor of the Most High
we are striving earnestly to achieve
moral and spiritual uplifting. The
year that has just closed has been one
of peace and of overlooking plenty.
Rarely has any people enjoyed greater
prosperity than We are now enjoying.
For this we render heartfelt thanks to
the giver OF good, and we seek to praise
Him, not by words only, but by deeds,
by the way in which we do our duty to
ourselves and to our fellow men. Now,
therefore, l, Theodore Roosevelt, presi-
dent of the United States. do hereby
designate as day of general thanksgiv-
ing Thursday, the 9th OF the coming
November, and do recommend that
throughout the land the people cease
from their ordinary occupations, and in
their several homes and places of wor-
ship render thanks unto Almighty God
for the manifold blessings of the past
year.
"In witness whereof have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.

Goth day of October. in the year of our
Lord 1902, and of the independence OF

TOUR OF MINES|
ARBITRATION COMMISSION HAS A.
BUSY DAY.
Spent Eight Hours Investigating
Actual Workings in the Scranton
District So. All Appeared Deeply
Interested, but Refused to Ex.
press Opinions.

Scranton. Pa, Oct. 3l.-The seven
commissioners appointed by President
Roosevelt to adjust the differences ex.
listing between the anthracite mine
workers and their employees made
tour of the mines of the extreme upper
coal fields, and cav every step taken in
the production of coal, from the time it
is blasted from the ground hundreds of
feet below the surface, up to the point
where it is sent to market ready for the
use of the consumer.
The arbitrators had an interesting
day and returned to their hotel at $3.50
O'Clock, grimy from coal dust and tired
after eight busy hours of observation
and investigation. The trip was nov
city to most of those in the commission,
some of whom had never been in the
hard coal regions.
The commissioners displayed the
greatest interest in every feature of the
coal mining and went about their work
in manner that was pleasing to be-
hold. The mining superintendent ac-
companied the commissioners. The
discomforts. make their way through
wet places in the mines. almost crawl
along some of the gangways in the
workings, and pass through clouds OF
coal Dust in the breakers. Notwith-
standing this their eagerness for infor-
nation was not diminished, and they
expect to put in another days hard
work in this vicinity.
1t would be unfair to say that one
commissioner displayed more interest
than another, but it can be truly said
that Bishop Spaulding asked more ques-
tions than any one of the others. He
was usually the center of group and
asked many questions of those who are
employed in and about the mines.
All the commissioners were good lis
teners, but poor takers when it came
down to getting an expression from
them on any feature of the mining
