poses as contemplated by the recla-
nation act of Congress passed June II,
1902
Resolved, That in view of the great
necessity in this Territory for more
accurate information regarding the
use of water for irrigation, we here
by heartily endorse the irrigation in

an increased Congressional approprla-

such commission has been appointed.

Special Correspondence.

Kansas City, Feb. 23.-Cattle re.
ceipts for the week ending Satur-
days were 29, 000 head. which is some
what less than normal runs have been
recently. The proportion of range cat
tie was small. both in the southern di-
vision and from the west, the number
OF COW much less than usual. This
left a surplus of corn cattle, especially
toward the end of the week. Fat stuff
advanced the first of the week, but lost
a part of the gain, as the run increased
at the end of the week. Everything
else sold readily and closed considera-
bly, higher than at the close of the pre-.
vious week.
On Tuesday Of last week fat western
steers, from 1850 to 1900 pounds, sold
from $4.15 to s4.25. The same day a
bunch of choice western heifers,
weighing 902 pounds brought 1855. On
Wednesday good cows and heifers sold
higher than at any other time this win
ter. Fifty-four head of western heifers,
weighing 740 pounds, brought $3.50,
and n load of western cows. weigh
ing 1850, brought $3.50. Dealers con-
sidered cows and heifers as out of line
with steers, and too high to stick.
Their prophecy was verified, as, al
though receipts of cows continued
moderate, a weaker feeling developed,
and cows lost ten cents before the end
of the week.
The supply of stockers and feeders
was lighter last week than for a long
time, Prices opened strong, and were
well maintained all week. The close
of the week was 10 to Is cents better
than the close of the previous week.
Heavy feeders again came into favor,
but good stuff of all weights sold read
lily. A few sales of western stuff were
above $500, with one sale at $4.35, but
most sales were from 1916 to $500.
Cattle receipts today are normal at
5000 head. -he market opened steady,
but a stronger feeling developed before
the forenoon was half over, and many
sales of cows and of stockers and feed
ers were considered strong to 10 cents
higher. Fat steers sold mostly steady.
Local prices for all kinds of sheep
and lambs made a sensational advance
last week. in spite of a supply much
more nearly up to the needs of the
killers than has been coming lately
A wonderful demand for mutton has
encouraged The packers in bulling the
market, and every day last week a
an advance, with competition keen.
Today the run is light at $500 head.
and buyers were out early. o. T. Nash,
Ammes, Kansas, sold this morning 504
fed Mexican yearlings, weighing 70
pounds. at $500. This is the best
price of the season by 20 cents for this
kind of sheep. V. De Donder, a st.
Mary's feeder, sold today 259 fed Ida
no lambs, 81 rounds, at $6,65, which is
equal TO the best price of the season,
reached last week. c. J.. PARROT. of
st. Mary's. sold today AL Idaho ewes
at $4.65, and the Hessell & Wilson
wethers brought s5.15 this morning,
against a best previous price of $50
for them. The general run of sheep
and lambs are from 80 to 80 cent
higher than a week ago, with no let uI
in the demand.
