IMPORTANT LITTLE THINGS.

when the ordinance and police
committee OF the council organizes,
one Of tho first matters TO be given
consideration should be what tho 30.
lice department need; in the way OF
small but important things. The cx.
pcndlture OF little money would not
only make tho work OF the force
easier and more pleasant, but would
materially increase the efficiency OF
the department.
Ono thing that should have been
provided long ago is an outfit for the
Bertillion system OF measurement for
-rtre- Identification OF criminals. The
department Is more seriously handi.
capped by being unable to use this
system than one not acquainted with
police affairs woui>. over imagine.
The system is used by practically all
cities Of any size and II the local
department asks the Richmond, Nor.
folk, Baltimore, New Yark or any
other police headquarters to look
out for and arrest a fugitive the of.
fcers in tho cities. expect the Der.
tillion measurements 10 be given If
a suspect Is arrested hero for nnoth.
or city. tho Bertilllon measurement Is
sent hero for tho Identification of the
prisoner. An amount OF money COM
paratlvely insignificant would be re-
quirod to provide this very neccs
sary equipment.
A stretcher for the patrol wagon
and cot for Injured persons brought
into the station arc among tho other
small things needed. Now. II an in.
jured or sick person Is taken up by
tho patrol wascn--ind such instances
are not rare by any means-the pu.
tient has to mako the best OF it ON
tho floor OF the wagon II he or she
Is unable to sit up during tho ride.
AT the station only bare, hard wooden
benches await n patient unless the
officers on duty choose to permit the
use OF tho one iron bed in their
quarters, as they do IN unusual
cases.
Tho things mentioned arc not all
that the department needs, but any
one can SEQ that hese Il least should
BIO provided.
In this connection it might be men.
TONED that there is absolutely no
ready money at the disposal OF the
2 department and when tho chief Is
called upon to send an officer to Nor.
folk Or elsewhere, to get out postals
asking for the arrest OF fugitive
!, or to spend money in any such case
OF emergency. the cash has to como
out of his pocket and he must take
the chance of getting it back again.
This condition Of affairs Should not
exist.
We hope that the committee will
I. as soon as possible after organizing
make a special investigation into the
actual workings OF the department.
and lose no time in taking steps to
ward remedying conditions.

Weekly Stock Letter

Denver Union Stock Yards, Nov.
26 The storms of the early part OF
last week delayed a good many cattle
en- route to this market notwithstand
ing this fact receipts were liberal.
About l6, 900 head arrived against
10, 900 the preceding week and 7,1OC
same week last year. Beef steers
closed the week 10 to Is cents higher,
cows 10 to 20 cents higher and best
heavy feeders strong to dime higher
Common feeders and stockers show
little Improvement either in demand
or price. Eastern markets went low
er early in the week but most of the
loss was regained later. Choice beef
steers sold here at "a. 30 to $4.35 and
the bulk of the better killers at 50. 50
to g. 25. Best cows brought 49, 35 and
quite number were good enough to
land at 81. 90 to 1925 Fair to good
killing cows sold at 50 65 to *3. 90 with
medium at 81. % to SIT Feeder and
stocker trade was active for anything
good. Supply was liberal but every
thing sold readily. Some very fancy
black feeders from the southwestern
part of the state sold at $3.50, which
is high price paid here for some time
and with one exception the high price
of the season Other good feeders went
at f4 IL and most of the desirab BILE
kinds at 81 IS to 1896. Fancy 700
pound stockers brought S4 90 but not
many landed above 50. 80, and most of
the better grades sold at So % to $3. So
Common steers sold all the way from
80. so to $3.25. Supply today nearly
>, 600 head. Eastern markets reported
big luns and prices generally 10 to 10
cents lower. Market here was weak
in sympathy but not much changed
Some fancy North park steers sold to
packers at 81. 80 with cows from the
same bunch at S3. 30.
Several of the eastern packers now
have buyers stationed here who are
sending out large numbers of fat cat
tie direct to their plants at market,
and with local packers good buyers
anything fit for the block has found
plenty of competition. Demand for
good feeders is all that could be asked
and the Denver market on the whole
is in very nice shape. Common steers
are not moving very we'll but this is
true on the eastern markets rs, we'll,
as there seems to be very little de
mand for them from any source.
