When the editorial party, the

not being prepared to stand the

night the rain turned to snow

they found the surrounding noun.

WEEKLY STOCK YARDS LETTER

South Omaha, Neb., Sept. 10th.
Probably the most important
event of the past few days was the
receipt of the first shipment of
cattle from Iowa over the new
line of She Chicago Great Wes-
tern, which has just secured an
entrance to South Omaha. The
arrival of stock is the inaukura-
ton of what is believed to be u
most important change in condi-
tons for the livestock raiser.
That large section of the cattle
districts of Iowa on the ro ute of
the new road has been shipping
To Chicago in the past, thus aid
ing in overstocking the Chicago
market aud causing q reduction
in prices throughout the country
These shippers will now ship to
South Omaha, not only because
OF the shorter haul, but of the
knowledge that distribution of
stock among the Missouri river
markets has a tendency to increase
prices as Chicago cannot then
''bear' one market on account Of
overstocking it.
The arrival of the Great West
ern is hailed with delight at South
Omaha and the road is assured of

TIE LOADING PLANT
May be Moved From IT. Steele to Sara
toga-will Mean a Railroad.

The Iumor is current that the
Carbon Timber Co. will in all
probability move their tie plant,
now located at Fl. Steele, to Sara.
toga. This matter will be decided
about the 9th of next month,
when the officers of the Union
Pacific and of the Carbon Timber
Co., will hold a conference.
The plant is now located on a
branch of the river which comes
out of the main stream about three
miles above Fl. Steele, and the
boom is located at the head of
this branch, into which the ties
are guided and hoated down to
the loading plant. This branch
runs through the field of NJ. w.
Shafe and it is Mr.. Shafe's inten-
ton to place a dam across the
stream this coming summer and
use the water for irrigation pur-
poses, which will make the stream
impractible for tie purposes. This
will compel the Timber Co. to
move their plant.
The moving of the plant to this
point would mean quite a saving
in the cost of driving the ties to
the railroad, cutting off about 30
miles, and rs the drive in the
spring from this point down is
usually late and the water low, it
is quite an item.
On the other hand 1t would be
absolutely necessary to have Il
railroad to transport the ties out
of here, HIS the hauling of the ties
from this point to Walcott by
wagon is entirely out of the ques.
ton.
When it il considered that from
the LIST of May until the 18th of
August that an average of ~ cars
of ties a day Were loaded out of
Fit. Steele, the matter of hauling
the ties in any way except by rail
is preposperous, hence the conclu-
sion that if there is anything in
the talk about moving the loading
plant to this place there must be
railroad talk back of the prop :
sitiou.

In another column will be

corning the date and manner of
shipping mineral, agricultural,
and other exhibits to the Convsn-
ton to be held at Sheridan the
7th to 9Th of October, 1908.
Special attention is called to
the dates on which the exhibits
should be at the different stations

portation. Exhibits should be in
Rawlins, Fl. Steele or Walcott
not later than the 22nd of this
month, wien they will be taken

The Importance of this Conven-

the different sections of the state.
In addition to this a collection
will be made from the exhibit al
Sheridan to send to the Worlds
Fair in st. Louis next year and the
very best exhibit possible should

Rain and Snow Does Damage.

The unprecedented fall of rain
and snow the past ten days is re-
sponsible for considerable damage
to the second crop of alfalfa. The
season has been much later than
usual this year and the second
cutting had barely matured before
the stormy weather set in, pre-.
venting the harvesting of the crop.
Wherever the yield was heavy the
rain and snow matted the alfalfa
on the ground and will make it
very difficult, if not impossible, to
cut and rake it. In many in
stances much of it had been cut
and the rain caught it on the
ground.
The snowfall in the mountains
has averaged from four to six and
eight inches in different places,
aud wherever sheep owners did
not have their hocks down out of
the timber considerable damage
was done to the sheep.

When Daddy Was q Little Boy.

When daddy was a lit tie boy
All the little boys were good,
And did just what their nurses
And their par. nts said they should
And sometimes, when Pm naughty,
He takes me on his knee
And tells. when he was little,
How good he used to he.
He never stole a cherry tart,
Or hid in passageway
To boo" at Jane As she came by
With dishes on a tray;
He never once put curraut jam
Where Grandma'd prob'ly sit,
Aud when he fell and hurt himself
He never cried a bit.
He didn't pinch Aunt Lucy's legs
When going up the stairs,
He never told poor little Ted
His bed was full of bears;
He never kicked good Mary Ann
Or hit her with a spade;
| guess perhaps my daddy wss
The best boy ever made.
