Much Local Interest in Fiaht

A big crowd assembled at the Silver
club Monday afternoon to hear the re-
turns from the Cans Nelson fight at
Goldfeld, Nevada. While majority
of the crowd wanted to see Nelson win
most of the betting was at odds on
Cans. AS found after round came in
with no apparent advantage on either
side the crowd increased and quite a
little excitement was evident. When
the 42nd round was flashed over the
wire announcing Cans the victor on a
foul the colored boy was loudly
cheered. The battle was the best ever
fought by little men in this country
and leaves Cans the undisputed light
weight champion of the world The
dusky champion broke his right hand
in the 9th round but gamely stuck to
his task ard put it all over Nelson.
who it is claimed deliberately fouled
Cans to avoid being knocked out. Mel
son was badly battered and was also
incapacitated after the 23rd round by
one of his eyes swelling until it WAS
entirely shut. Over 1000 people wit
messed the fight.

Weekly Stock Letter

Denver Stock Yards, Sept 4.-Re-
ceipts of cattle were liberal last week
at all points. The market here was
fairly active but with plenty of cattle
on hand buyers were not slow to take
advantage Of the opportunity afforded
to shade prices. The local market
held up we'll the week before even
though western markets reported a
bridge line. and prices here were con-
siderably higher than at river points
With good run here this week buyers
have been trying to get the market
back into line with quotations at other
points. In this they have been par
italy successful although prices here
are still higher than they are east.
Choice beef steers have been in good
demand all week and quotations are
just about steady with week ago, but
the medium to far kinds are 10 to Is
cents lower. Some choice grass steers
sold Saturday at -. 40, which repre-
sents about the top bulk of the pretty
good kinds selling from this down to
$3.50. Cows suffered most, the de-
cline for the week amounting to 25 to
40 cents A bunch of fancy spayed
heifers sold Saturday at *3 is but few
cows landed above 81 90 and most of
the pretty good went at 81. 40 to 81. 80.
Bulls and veals are abort steady and
in very good demand. Feeder and
stocker trade WAS fairly active Sup
ply was better than 1T has been and
demand was good from all sources but
buyers seem to think present prices
are pretty high and the trading for
this reason has been a little slow.
The feeder demand on the eastern mar
kets is very light and prices reported
lower than week ago. Prices here
are Is to 90 cents lower in sympathy.
Indications point to an excellent
trade here from now on Eastern
feeders. by coming to Denver for
their steers get the advantage of the
feed in transit rate and great many
of them now buy regularly on this
market. With this advantage they
can afford to pay more for their cattle
here than at the river markets and
shippers will make no mistake by
sending their stuff this way.

of district Judge The Indications
now are that he will come out of Pit
kin county with majority of the
delegates while 1t is more than likely
he will have the solid delegation from
Garfield county. Republicans who
have studied the conditions in Rio
Blanco and Routt counties say he will
have but little opposition in either of
those counties If the people are

THERE is little wonder that the
democrats in session in county con.
ventions this week were loath to re-
solve. Major DeLan seemed to voice
the sentiments of the majority, of the
delegates when he said in view of the
unfortunate turmoil and dissensions
now rending the party in Denver and
the very uncertain outcome of such
troubles it would be wise to dispense
with resolutions altogether. There
were few however who said if they
passed no resolutions at all the hate.
full republicans would say they dare
not do it, hence few meaningless
resolutions were drafted and passed
when no one was looking.

SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER &, 1906
UPHELD GOVERNMENT POLICY

1t is matter of sincere regret that
at each session of the Rational Irriga
tion congress the reclamation work
of the government and Presto ent
Roosevelt policy of protecting the
forests and conserving the water sup
ply should be attacked.
Last year the reclamation service
was attacked by Mr.. Shumway of
Nebraska who had been foiled by the
depa1 tment in some land schemes he
was boosting.
This year the forestry service was
attacked by Senator Hepburn of Idaho
whom President Roosevelt had
thoroughly rebuked about year ago
and whose attacks were shown to be
vicious and misleading. However,
Senator Dubois a democrat. in mas
terly manner defended the president
and the forestry policy now in force
declaring that it would prove the sal
walton of the western country by
protecting the timber against the
ravages of lumber sharks and by con
serving the water supply for irriga-
tion purposes.
Happily the congress thoroughly en-
dorsed the government policy both as
forestry department, thus upholding
the president in his good work
