The Fish Slander.

An article appeared IN the is
sue Of Oct. IL Of the Hill City
Mining News to which we must
take considerable exception. It
deals with the candidacy Of
Myron Willsie and in a rather
lengthy andsat times both cpl
and ungramatical effort the
writer strives to show why Mr..
Willsie should not be elected.
There is but one reason given
in the article. This reason is
false. Therefore there seems to
be but one choice for the voter
who is honest with himself and
that choice is Myron Willsie.
But the article. We do not
wish to say marsh things about
the gentleman who wrote the ar
ID
ticle we will simply say that he
has been misinformed. The arti-
Gle deals with the Elk Greek wat
er question. It alleges that Mr..
Willsie was culpably negligent
in allowing a bill to go through
the state senate that would de.
prive Elk Creek of it's water and
thus endanger Rapid Creek. Al
a conclusion it is argued thai
Mr.. Willsie is no fit man for tn,
state senate. The argument il
certainly founded on a false ru
: NOR. The bill in question did no

Old Soldier Gone.

The twenty.Gfth of December, the
shortest day in the year, has been
celebrated for many ages and among
many peoples as time OF rejoicilS.
ON this day the Egyptians held a les.
tivai in honor of the birth of their god
Horus, The Romans called it "tlc
birthday oC the inyincible sun and
dedicated it to Bacchus reioicing
with him that the sun was about TO
return and revivify the vineyards.
! The Porsians observed ii with ccre,
monies of uncommon splendor, keep
ing it as the birthday of Mitliras. the
mediator, spirit of the sun. In
China it has long been Il joyous hob.
day and in India 1t Is n day In which
homes are decorated with tinscl and
| flowers and presents are exchanged
much Us in America.
Just when this day came to be celc-
brated as the birthday Of Christ, his.
tory does not tell us. We know that
Christmas was observed in the early
church at the beginning Of the sec
ond century; for in 1873 A. H.,
bishop issued an order concerning IT,
1t was apparently already popular
! festival. There seems TO have booA.
however difference in the date
when it was kept, as the eastern
church observed it ON Jan, 6. aud The
western church during the latter part
of December Finally, in the fourth
century, Pope julius assembled the
principal theologians to examine the
evidence, and they fixed on Dec. rs rs
the date Of Christ's birth and the ap.
propriate day to hold the Christmas
| festival.
| The customs which have attended
| the observance of Christmas are part
Ipagar and part Christian, and 1t Is
not always easy to distinguish be-
tween the two. The Christmas log is
the ydle log of the worship of Odin.
The mistletoo under which the Chris
tian youth kisses the Christian maid
is remnant of Druidism, The
| Christmas tree finds its pagan proto
type In the German Ygdrasil--a great
tree whose roots were hidden In the
ground. but whose top reached To
| Walhalla, the old German paradise

gin of our jolly friend, Santa Claus, is

| In this country at frs, Christmas
was excluded The Pilgrim fathers
rejected 1t because of it's pagan con
nections. Thanksgiving largely occu'
pied its place and was nicknamed
the New England Christmas, But the
Dutch settlers brought over with
thea their Christmas festival. and 1t
soon rooted itself in the affections OF
the people, till It became our most
joyous and welcome festal day, We
need not hesitate because Christian
and ant.Chrisuan elements mingle in
It. What paganism there is has been
baptized to noble service. But one
thing We do need TO guard, and that
Is that our feelings in the celebration
be- Christian and not pagan, that we
recognize the religious meaning OF

SIOUX CITY LLVESTO CK

Cattle receipts have been moderate
this week and the supply foots up 7; 81
head, or 600 less than last week: The
market opened up with good active de,
nand for stockers at last weeks best
prices, but a decided preference was
shown for the heavier weights Of steers.
Country demand was not up to expecta-
tions and yard traders quickly found
that they had more cattle on hand than
they could see an outlet for and as a re-
suit they began to cheaper up. At the
close Of the week stocker values ruled

inferior light weight steers taking most

The fat cattle market has shown a
downward tendency, but prices have
been well maintained on the good steers
and butcher stock. The warmed-up
steers and fair to medium grades Of
cows are generally 15c to zoe lower
than last week s close. The bulk Of the
week IS marketing sold at $2.65 to $3.4O

Winnipeg, Jan. 27.-Something in
excess Of 62,OOO,0OO bu Of grain has
already been marketed at railway
points in the Canadian west this season.
Total receipts at Canadian Pacific
points to Jan. 26 were 46, 163 900 wheat
and 2,771,000 bu of other grain, as COM
pared with 81, 523,000 bu of wheat and
LOLA 200 blu of other grain for the same
period last year. On the Canadian
Northern the receipts have been 1885,
900 blu wheat and 1900 Of other grain.
This gives 58,513,000 bu of wheat and
1851 900 of other grain marketed. The
seed and bread requirements are at
least 100000 blu, so that already
$4,000 bu IF the wheat crop Of 1905 has
been accounted for. There is probably
from 100000 to 100000 bu Of
wheat in farmers hands still to be
marketed.
The amount Of wheat in terminal ele-
vators at the lake front is little over
100000 bu and the shipments all rail
are larger than those of last year, but
by no means excessive. A great deal
Of the wheat going into country ele-
vators is being stored for farmers ac-
count The amount of wheat actually
offering for sale, as compared with re-
ceipts is small.
The oats crop is one Of the largest in
the history of the country, being esti-
mated at over 65,O00,000 bu, but SO far
avery limited percentage of oats has
come forward, the theory being that
heavy railway construction during the
coming summer will absorb all supplies.

cultural products will surpass that Of
the great Mexican mining industry.
Rubber, coffee, and other tropical pro-
ducts are exported in constantly grow
ing quantities. The Mexican lumber in
dustry and especially the export Of high
grade lumber is in it's infancy and
promises to assume gigantic proportions
as soon as the Mexican railroad system
is fully developed. Agricultural land
which, could be bought cheap a few
years ago are said now to command
several times their former prices.
