NefAS w 1bNClS Way
Just now. Cattle receipts have dimin.
ished, tie big June run of hogs conf
IDENTIFY looked for failed to materialize
and the large expansion in the mar
ketward movement predicted flor the
current week also failed to come to
pass, Says Rappal Bros. \ Co. of Chi
cage, IN a letter to the GRAPHIC and
they advise as follows.
Hog receipts this week haye again
been disappointinely light to packers,
and while more heavy hogs have ar
rived there has been a decided deter.
ioration in quality owing to the adj
vent OF grassy stuff. A scarcity of
good hogs is confidently looked for
until late IN the next winter packing
season. and all indications point to
top Dorkers hitting the 1919 mark
within the next ten days. Bulk of
this weeks arrii als sold at So 80 to
1910 and S5.45 was the top, which was
paid in numerous instances. The out
look is bright, and it will undoubtedly
pay anyone and everyone having mar
ketable porcine goods to let them
come forward.
Cattle trade regained its rosy hue
this week, and buyers left the arena
day after day conscious OF defeat.
Neracious statesmen asserted that
they sold dry-lot steers, COWS and
heifers 10 to 25c higher than last week
and top beeves were quickly bought
up at S4.65. Rank and file of she.stock
enjoyed a 10 to 25c upturn: Gamer,
butter and calf trade was steady,
while stockers and feeders found Il
ready outlet at stiff prices.
The supply has again dropped to a
point were demand equals it,, and a
continuance of light runs is bound to
put fancy, hard. finished corn-feu
steers and butcher stuff values on a
higher level. But the prospects for all
grassy cattle is %unfavorable, and the
sooner the latter kinds are marketed
the better it will be for the beef
growers monetary interests.
While sheep and lamb receipts were
normal, packers welded their ham
merS %viciously. and with liberal runs.
which are now %seasonable, a lower
le7el will be speedily reached.

waakee Pushing Through
to h Coast
From the Mitchell Daily Republican,

From the Mitchell Deily Republican,
Tacoma, Wash, June 25.-Indica-
tons increase that the Chicago Mil
waukee and ST. Paul railroad is pre-
pairing to build from South Dakota to
Puget Sound within two years.
Agents have purchased 400 acres of
terminal grounds in Tacoma tide
lands. Smaller purchases of tide
lands have been made at Seattle and
Portland. President Cookingham of
the Tacoma Eastern, would not deny
yesterday that an option on his line
had been given to the Milwaukee
road. In March, President EARRING,
of the ST. Paul road scent two days
in conference with John Baglcy,
manager and builder of the Tacoma
Eastern. Northwestern lumpermen
have been urging President Earling
and Chairman Miller to extend their
road to the coast, pointing out that
they would secure, to start with,
lumber traffic OF at least 30, 900 car.
loads annually.
1t is believed that the st. Paul will
reach Portland owe the Hartman
line from the Snake river territory
and will build a line from Columbia
river to Puget Sound. which may be
JOINTLY used by the Milwaukee and
Hartman system.
The foregoing looks more like busi-
ness than anything that has yet APP
peared. 1t is well known by those
close to tie officials Of the company
that the c. NJ. & st. Paul has definite
ly decided to cross the Missouri at
Chamberlain, and possibly at Evarts
also, and President Earnings frequent
visits out to the Pacific coast of late,
coupled with the news from Tacoma,
gives much color to the report that
the Milwaukee will not stoJ, at the
Black FILLS when once it starts west.
There are those who imagine that
the Milwaukee will make some kind
of a grand-stand play of this kind to
catch votes for Mitchell. Much as
the company would probably apprec.
late a vote of public confidence by
placing the capital at Mitchell and
allowing it to share what capital
business there is with the Nor tn
western, the extension Of its line to
the Pacific coast, or even to the Black
Hills, is too vast an undertaking to
warrant the Milwaukee in starting
the work prematurely. But that the
extension is a sure go within two
years is as certain as anything we'll
can be.

For the benefit of the local players
from Manager Thornton down. who

Many coal mines are infested with

rats multiply rapidly and they, from

avoid the invasion of rats in the Sher-
