Senator McCumber's legisla-

Richland were victorious at the
polls, all being elected, giving
the senator q nice little boost to

dications Mr.. McCumber will be
reelected by q big majority,
although some opposition has
been developed. He has made
North Dakota an excellent re-
preventative in the upper house

Never, we believe. in the his
tory of the United States has
there been such a difference be.
tween the price of cattle on foot,
and their hide or skins as there
is at the present time. Cattle
at Minneapolis, South st. Paul,
Omaha, Kansas City and Chicago
range in price from $1.75 to
$3.50; cows average q; steers 2
to 81; bulls II; veal calf 2 to A.
If the cattle were all hides and
tallow the farmers would re-
ceive more money according to
the price circular issued by the
Northwestern Hide & Fur Co.,
Minneapolis, who quote the fol-
lowing cash prices:
Cow hides, green salt cured,
No. 94c, No. 2 84c; Cow hides
green unsalted, No. 1 &c, No. 2
74c; Heavy steer hides tc per lb.
more; Bull hides &c per lb. less.
Veal calf, green salt cured No; 1
1910, No. 2 1l4c. Veal kip, green
salt cured No. 1 10tc, No. &c.
Veal kip, green unsalted, No. 1
94c, No. 2 &c.
It is shown from the above
figures that the hides and skins
are worth from 3 to 81 times as
much per pound as the cattle on
foot. Rendered tallow is worth
4}c per pound, rough 2}c. It
would seem exceedingly wise on
the part of the farmer and stock
man to slaughter his stock at
home and eat or sell his beef
rather than ship to market; after
the freight and commission is
paid there is but little left in
mon stock.

Another indication that the
country is recovering from the
slump that began last fall, says a
recent issue of the Minneapolis
Journal, is to be found in the re.
newed activity Of the landseekers
and in the brisk business now
being done in farm lands. Coin
cident with the general business
depression there was a reaction
in what may be called the land
business. The numbers of home.
seekers fell off and in places there
was a considerable recession in
values. All who had paid much
attention to the subject of land
values were certain, however,
that the recession would be
temporary. There is just SO
much land in the humid region
in the United States and it is
fairly occupied today. With the
republics population increasing
at the rate Of IS, 900, 600 q decade.
it ls pain that good land any.
where near market that today
sells for less than 800 an acre
has a good margin for further
increased value.

The authorities here have kept tab
on the time Browns sentence would ex-

gates to get his man. He was brought
back to Kingisher by the sheriff and
placed in the county Jail to await trial.
Brown secured the $50 from the First
