Cement at HAYS City.

Last week arrangements were COM
pleted to carry into execution one of
the largest enterprises in Western
Kansas. A new organization to be
known as the Uncle Sam Portland
Cement Company has been incorpor-
ated and is making preparations to
manufacture cement on an enormous
scale at Hays City, in Ellis county.
Six months ago /. M. Yost, of that
city, discovered a bed of chalk six
miles west of there and the material
being analysed it was found to be one
of the best chalk beds in existence.
1t contains $50 per cent pure build
ing material. At lola the large CO.
ment plant there is using chalk which
is only 74.4 per cent pure and yet does
an enormous business and is making
big profits.
Upon discovering this chalk bed
Mr.. Yost decided to form company
for the manufacture of Portland &C.
ment. The Union Pacific Railroad
company is interested and is assist
ing in the enterprise. A new town
covering site of the chalk bed is be-
ing laid out. 1t will be known as
Yocemento. Six hundred and forty
acres were bought. the town will &C.
cupy 100 acres. A depot and switch
ing facilities both for the town and
the plant are being built by the Union
Pacific and it is believed within a
short time Yocemento will be a town
of 1000 inhabitants. The cement
plant, when completed, will employ
200 men.

The "Wheat Train. with repre-
sentatiyes from the State Agricultur-
al college aboard arrived on schedule
time last Wednesday morning, and
the cars were filled with persons in
terested In its mission. Two cars
were used TO explain the subject
wheat growing The professors
made talk on the different Yaritles
of seed wheat, and the way they are
obtained, after which the subject of
smut was taken up and explained.
He says smut is not caused by the
weather or the condition of the soil,
but is disease or fungus called
spores, and recommends as a cure
that just before sowing. the seed
wheat be soaked in an antiseptic. His
receipt is to take one pound of form
aldehyde, and about fifty or sixty gal
Ions of water, then spread the wheat
out and thoroughly sprinkle with this
solution, then stir carefully until it is
we'll absorbed. He adyocates culti-
walton to prevent evaporation, also to
draw moisture, and recommends the
Campbell system of farming.
The following shows the average OF
wheat raised in the various counties
for period of seven years.
This average is taken from the sta
tistical report after threshing, so it is
about correct
This shows the amount per acre
and is can be readily seen that Trego
county stands near the top of the list.

steers little lower, cows 10 cents off,
stockers and feeders 10 to % cents
lower. So far this week &c, 900 cattle
have arrived, 10000 yesterday, and
20, 900 today, and the market is be-
ginning to weaken noticeably. Prices
were steady yesterday on about every
thing, some sales of dry lot cattle
stronger, but the best cattle are bare
ly steady today, medium and common
steers weak to 10 lower, cows 10 to Is
lower, stockers and feeders 10 lower,
veal calves 25 to so cents lower today,
which loss affects light weights main
ly, Light veals made a big squirt at
the end of last week, some selling at
800, but best ones today bring 80
to 1925, mixed and heavy calves have
held steadier, at So. so to $3.50. Three
loads of 1410 pound dry lot steers sold
at 1925 today, top this week, but not
quite the limit of the market. Dry
lot steers range from $500 upwards,
corn and grass steers s4.75 to $3.50,
best grass steers around $500, medium
and common steers, including west
ems, $40 to $3.50. Heifers are weak
today, $500 to 81. so, choice ones up to
$500, cows 50. 25 to So so, few above
this, balls S2.15 to So 25 Country
buyers have displayed little enthusi-
aSm SO far, and when. prices get too
high they stay out of the market,
quickly forcing concessions. More of
this class of stuff is received each
week. 4S1 car loads shipped to the
country last week, practically all of
it secured at a reasonable price. and
the market is a little lower this week.
Outside prices are occasionally paid,
as today $3.50 was paid for choice
1900 pound feeders, but most of the
feeders sell at "a. 40 to 81 25, stock
steers $3.50 to 1915, stock cows and
heifers 81. 80 to 1915.
Hog receipts last week were $4,000
head, lightest week this month, run
13, 600 today. Market is not changing
much from day to day, but appears
nervous. Heavy hogs were hammered
last week, made slight gain on the
leaders yesterday, but are back in the
rut today Prime light hogs sold up
to $685. today, bulk of sales $500 to
$3.50, heavy weights $3.50 to s6.O5. In
Chicago loads of $50 pound hogs are
81. 90 lower than prime lights.
Small receipts of sheep and lambs
have been selling strong, but market
is weak on sheep today, lambs 10 to
Is lower, on a run of 5000 head. Best
spring lambs today $40, native
wethers $3.50, ewes 1925. Some year
ling Utah wetherS, 70 pound, sold for
the country today at so, and breed
ing ewes bring $500 to $3.50. Packer
buyers have not been able to fill
orders, account of meager receipts,
and country demand is away above
the available supply. More Utah stuff
will come from now on.

Oyster Bay. Aug. 24.-President
Roosevelt today announced he has
adopted the Carnegie reform of spell
ing and instructed the public printers
that all official documents from the
White house. including the presidents
messages, shall be printed in accord
ance with the recommendations of the
spelling reform committee by Brander
Matthews of Columbia university.
Are 800 words in List.
The committee has published a list
of 800 words in which the spelling is
reformed.
7tle list contains such words as
thru and Tho" as the spelling for
through and though"
The presidents official sanction OF
this reform movement is regarded as
the most effective and speediest meth
cd of inaHgurating the system of spell
ing throughout the country. Not only
will printed documents emanating
from the president utilize reform spell
ing. but his correspondence also will
be spelled in the new style.
VIII Add 10 List.
Secretary Loeb has sent for the list
of 300 words which have been reformed
and upon its arrival will Immediately
order all correspondence of the presi-
dent and executive force at the White
house spelled in accordance herewith
AS the spelling reform committee shall
adopt new reforms. they will be added
to the presidents list and also 10 that
of the public printer.
Nay Extend tn Departments.
While the order to the printer today
does not contemplate immediate re
form in the spelling Of official docu-
ments from the executive departments
in Washington, it is regarded more
than likely the respective heads of the
departments will fall in line with the
presidents ideas and have their Off
cial documents printed in the new
spelling.
