CATTLE PRICES TAME.
A Good supply a sure sign Of Lover

a GOOD supply q sure Sign OF Lover
Bids
Kansas City, April I9.-Nearly every
body IN the cattle trade here was struck
dumb on reading the Chicago report
yesterday, which said, 40, 600 cattle, IS
to Is cents lower" $500 head were
received here, which was not excessive.
Proportion Of beef steers was large, and
concessions Of 10 or Is cents were made
on most Of the steer receipts yesterday.
Other kinds, including she stuff, stOckers
and feeders sold steady. Today the
supply here Is 1000 shead, practically
the same as last Tuesday, and market
is steady with yesterday, and practically
the same as last Tuesday. Prices ad-
vanced the latter half Of last week on
beef steers, and the loss of yesterday
just about wiped out the gain of last
week. Top prices today is S5.25, same
as last Tuesday. Butcher, as usual at
this season, holds up well in price.
Heavy cows sell up to S4.15, heifers up
to $4.45- Outside orders for cattle in
this class are becoming more numerous
each week, as small packing concerns
are springing mp all over the country.
StOckers and feeders are more active
this week, and the choicest sell mp to
$3.50, with medium grades at $3.50 TO
$3.50. Feeding bulls and butcher
weight bulls sell strong, but export
weights are slow. Veal calves steady
at $500 to S5.75.
Hog prices are descending as re-
ceipts are mounting upward. IS cents
represents the loss since last Tuesday,
top today being S4.95, bulk of all sales
S4-75 to $40 This is the low point
since the decline began in February.
Receipts here today Il, 900 head, 5000
more than last Tuesday, and liberal re-
ceipts were received elsewhere. Quality
has not been as good the past week, in
Guiding more half fat light weights, in
dicatiug a dislike on the part of feeders
OF buying high priced corn.
Contrary to the hog situation, sheep
and lamb prices are climbing as re-
ceipts are falling of. Smaller runs are
expected for some time, and as market
for the dressed mutton is excellent at all
consuming points, both here and in Euz
rope, packers are keen competitors for
all the stuff that is coming. Lambs
sold today at S6.35, ewes bring up to
S5-25, weathers up to S5.75,-J. A.
Rickart.

The word durum means hard and IS,
therefore, very appropriate, and being
a short, easy name It ought to come at
once into use.
Finally, it is a repetition fully justi-
fed to call attention again to the mr.
gent need of the use Of pure seed It
is a matter to be emphasized in sowing
any kind Of grain, but It Is particularly
important in this connection because Of
the great difference between the durum
wheat and ordinary wheats, causing a
mixture Of these two 10 be damaging
to their commercial use more than in
the case of mixing Of other wheats with
each other The details of the matter
need not be gone over here, as the sub
ject has been discussed both by the
writer and others at various times and
places, and the methods of purifying
seed and keeping It pure are now
pretty well known to all farmers The
recent circular distributed by the Van
Dusen-Harrington Co., of Minneapolis,
treating Of this subject is much to be
commended. The writer has discussed
the matter very fully IN an address be
fore the recent Tri-State Grain Growers
convention at Fargo, North Dakota,
which address was published in several
northwestern papers,

l1sllIM and Memorial EluT.
A. ". Smith, department comnsnder
of the G. A R, has issued an order re-
garding the semi-centennial celebration
IN Topeka. He says:
''In this department, the 3Othof Nay,
1904, is a double anniversary. It Is the
fifteenth anniversary of the signing Of
the bill by President Pierce that organ
izaed Kansas as a territory
1.-The commercial club Of our capital
city, and our state officers, have de-
cided to observe our semi-centennial IN
an appropriate and elaborate manner,
in connection with the Grand Army of
the Republic. Ny predecessor invited
the president of the United States to be
present and deliver an address. Owing
to a press Of public business, the presi-
dent cannot come, but he has secured
for US in his place, General Taft, secre-
tary of war, who as a public speaker
has no superior in the United States.
II urge all the comrades who can to
attend the mem Orial semi-centennial
celebration service in Topeka. The
program for the entire time has never
been ezoelIed by any committee in the
history of this department, and the
event will be of the highest class and
one long to be remembered.
"a rate Of one fare for the round trip
has been made from all points within
the state"
The second anniversary to which
Commander Smith calls attention is
Memorial Day. He asks comrades to
observe May 80, making It a most i'm
Pressive occasion. May we come to
its observance with the hearts truest
and sweetest emotions, says the COM
mander.

TOLL LINE FOR GOOBLAHB

Superintendent Of Company Here satur-
day AnnouReed the Intsntion-Their
Toll Line Building West Erom SeIdsn
and Win Reach Goodland-

GOOdland Is getting 50 skittish that
mail and railroads can't hold her.
Long distance phones are bound to
come, and a good eye can almost see
the poles looming in the east This
time it IS not Josiah Crosby by word Of
mouth building line from St. Francis
to GOodland IN the name Of the Wray
Telephone company. Another company
is on the ground to seize the Plum-the
Central State Telephone company, of
Oberlin, by its representative Joseph H
Young. He was IN GOodiand last Sat
urday for the purpose of looking at the
best town in northwest Kansas with a
view of building a toll line from Colby
here. He says their company Is surely
coming our way, and the line that is to
reach GOOdland Is building west as far
as Selden, and VIII never stop until Il
plants its poles in Sherman county soil
superintendent Young says it's too
good town to miss, and that a long
distance phone service would have
something in It as good as butter-fat.
His company, of which Judge Geiger Is
president, has a capital stock Of $50, 900.
Il is also a Pusher, and has gathered
in within very few years a network
Of systems and toll lines covering the
most Of the important places IN north
west Kansas This aggregation OF men
and money are after the Teigns of com
municatiOn in western and central kan
sas, and the way they talk the lines
have fallen to them in pleasant places.
Recently this company bought out
the Colby system, and are in the mar
ket for the GOOdland plant, but II seems
it's too good a thing to let go. The
systems Of Oberlin, Norton, Selden and
outlying towns, and intervening long
distance lines, are owned by the central
state company. They want 10 build a
line to GOOdland, and the people here
should push the good work along. Our
county has been out Of the back woods
since the dawn Of time, and as soon as
all our telephone lines are completed
we viii also be out of the short grass
country. Communication centralizes
and puts our latch-strings close at the
hand of our eastern neighbors. Then
they viii think more of US and not talk
grasshOppers, and short grass any more

Mark A. Carleton, cerealist in charge
of cereal investigations, U :. Depart
ueut Of Agriculture, has made extern
sive and careful investigations relative
to the successful cultivation of durum
or macaroni wheat, and parts of his re-
port were published in the Western
Trail for April. A map showing the
section Of country in the west central
states where macaroni wheat may be
successfully grown without irrigation,
so long as the summer rainfall IS at
least one inch, accompanies the article.
It covers the western half of Kansas,
nearly all of Nebraska, North and South
Dakota, parts of Texas and Oklahoma.
He says:
''The results of the season of 1903,
both on a commercial basis and from
the standpoint Of cultivation, in the
development Of the durum wheat in
dustry in this country have not only
confirmed the previous recommended
tons Of the Department of Agriculture
concerning this grain, but have made it
still more evident that it is a grain Of
the greatest value for the semi-arid dis
tricts. The demand for both the wheat
and -four, including semolina, for max
ing macaroni during the winter has so
increased that there is already practically
little to be obtained, and there has re-
Gently been a considerable increase in
prices. So long, therefore, as the grain
IS grown where It should be It will be
desirable to have a considerable increase
in production for this years crop and
no doubt there will be. About :, 600, 900
bushels of the 1908 crop have gone to
Minneapolis, 10 the lake cities, or to
foreign countries, and the remainder
has been used at the local mills with
the exception of a comparatively small
amount that has been sold for seed or
fed to stock. These are actual statistics
so far as they can be obtained. On the
basis Of the consumption of the present
crop and the evident increase in de-
mand, the production of this year ought
to be about Is, 900, 900 bushels, though
It is practically certain now that the
crop of 1908 was not so large as it was
supposed to be at first.
''It is important, however, to again
emphasize the necessity of growing the
necessity of growing the wheat strictly
within the semi-arid districts II is a
necessity both for the producer and the
consumer. 1t will only yield heavily,
compared with other grains, IN such
districts and therefore be of greater
financial profit to the farmer, and It is
only the grain produced in these dis
tricts that is of the high quality character
istic of this wheat
cit is important also for the farmer
to note that the name "durum'' is likely
to be largely used for this wheat instead
of the term 'macaroni'' in the future,
especially in commercial circles, and It
is necessary to become familiar with the
term. The word durum IS really the
correct name for this group of wheats,
and besides it is now found that the
name macarOni is misleading as the
wheat is already known, from the re-
suits of many trials, to be excellent for
making bread as well as macaToni. On
the other hand, other kinds of wheat,
as well as the durums, are often used
for making macarOni, although the
durums certainly make the best product

grand march. led BY Mr.. T. A. Buriey,
Of Fairbury, assistant superintendent of
the Nebraska division, and Mrs. s. Luz
Their, Of GOodland. The music by
Fink's orchestra of Colorado Springs,
was pronounced perfect in rythm and
delightful IN harmony. The dance last
ed until several of the morning hours
had been stripped away. At twelve
O'Clock the ladies Of the Catholic church
served supper on the stage, which, on
account Of the abundance Of the good
things provided, was generously patron
lied, the proceeds amounting 20 SIS.
Neither pains nor expense was spared
BY the trainmen in making their first
annual ball a splendid success AT the
vestibule entrance Of the hall, three
''tail'' lights used on cabOOses, were
arranged IN a triangular form, two red
semaphoTes throwing out their Persis-
tent light at the base, and the green
one from the top. Within the triangle
and thrown out by.light were the 6g-
ures representing the number of the
lodge, 1927"
The inside Of the hall was illuminated
with large gasoline lamps, and the
decorations, while not profuse, were
striking Notices in large letters were
placed upon the walls; large mirrors,
casting back the images Of the dancers,
were hung along the sides, and the
three huge columns along the center OF
the hall bore red and green flags and
lanterns, the cOlors of the trainmen s
order.

confer the courtesies of the occasion
were busy in their duties, and all the
