northwestern part Of the Chickasaw
nation, three miles from the Okla

Washita, the richest agricultural
(, region in the world.
The city is a little over ~ years
old. Although its greatest growth
has been since 1000, the city has
never had boom but its hevelop-
ment has been steady and sub

A DELIGHTFUL EVENT

a most delightful musical and
literary event was the recital given
at the Carnegie Library last even
ing by Mrs. Mcclure and Miss
Davis assisted BY Mrs. A. B.
Leeds and a mixed quartet
The attendance was not iagge
but the audience was throaslily
appreciative and heartily en- red

ments were faultlessly rendered.

After some further speech max
ing, the novel feature of Chicka-
sha's entertainments came-a grand
free walk to the principal poirts of
interest about town The visitors,
most of whom have automobiles at
home, had grown weary of this
mode of locomotion and also of such
diversions as street car rides, tai
lyho parties, ETC., and the free
walk was a great treat to the m.

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Uaion Stock Yards.-An-
other heavy supply OF cattle at all
points had a rather disastrous effect on
prices last week and everything except
the very best grades closed lower. Re-
ceipts here We're about the same as the
week before. Quality was very good
on the average and the demand for the
good kinds was strong, but common
grades were SLOW and rather dull. The
unfavorable reports received from
eastern points from day to day made
the market here rather slow, but n
clearance was made daily. Good beef
steers were scarce, but there was
plenty of the habitat kinds offered.
Packers are wanting some choice light
weight steers of good flesh and quality.
Best grades held up well during the
week, but common stuff is OFF 10 TO 20
cents. Cows were plentiful and some
choice stuff on hand. Demand was
very good for COWS, but the medium to
common stuff sold slowly. Good cows
are steady 10 a dime lower than week
ago, with the other grades 10 to %
cents down. Bulls were strong and in
good demand all week. The supply Of
veal calves was liberal and prices gen.
orally weak. Demand only fairly good.
The supply of feeders and stockerS
was liberal and the quality very good
on the average. Reports of lower mar
kets east from day to day made the
trade here rather dull and slow at
times, but there was Il good demand
for all good steers and all offerings
sold. The good grades sold best and
steers good enough To bring 1925 and
better are no more than a dime lower
than q week ago, but common stuff is
Off 15 to 25 cents
The supply of hogs was liberal, but
as there is a good demand all sold out
readily at prices fully as good as those
paid at Missouri river markets; $3.50
now represents about top here, which
Is dime lower than week ago.
Receipts of sheep were over $4,000
head during the past week. The de-
mand continues very good and all Of
ferings were taken readily. Eastern
markets are reported weak to little
lower. but there is very little material
change here from week ago.
