CHICAGO SHEEP PRICES.
Market for Fat Sheep Is Very Active
and Prices Good.

The Chicago Livestock World says
of the sheep market in that city:
Prices were strong and trade active.
Buyers were all after a few to kill
today with the object of taking care
of weekend trade, and anything with
decent quality found a speedy move
ment toward the scales. What killers
wanted was bought up as fast as 1t
arrived. Invariably on the eve of a
holiday pyrotechnics cause no sur
prise, but the display was not spec
tacular. 1t was simply a good mar
ket at prices strong to a little higher.
Choice native lambs sold at $3.50
@7.70 and that kind was badly want
ed. The $3.50 kind was popular with
buyers also. The Miller band of fed
westerns from Winona, Mimi, made
S7.35 and were not finished at that.
The usual delegation of $6.50@ 1925
native lambs showed Up.
Yearling stuff sold better. Choice
lamb-weight yearlings were quotable
to 1925 and it was easy to dispose of
s6d6.15 goods that would not have
made the price yesterday. Yearling
ewes at s5.10 looked strong. Year
lings have been bad sellers all week
and the little Improvement was highly
gratifying.

basis with the hope of overcoming
the adverse agricultural conditions
prevailing in the semi-arid belt.
Prof. Chilcott for the past 10 years
has been experimenting at the Brook
ings experiment station in dry farm
ing, and from his experience he be-
lieves that the plains can be made
to sustain thousands of human beings
where hundreds of cattle now range.
and that comfortable farm homes and
prosperous villages and cities will dot
the landscape where an occasional
steer or coyote Is to be seen in 1905.
Prof. Chilcott says of the plan:
eve will undertake to conquer the
plains by cultural methods, by plant
selection and by an intelligent system
of rotation Of crops. We will in this
way develop a system of cultivation
that will conserve the little moisture
that falls, develop plants strong in
drought resisting powers and maintain
the fertility of the soil at one and the
same time; and by attacking this prob
lem Of farming on the plains from the
three sides at once we should be able
tp accomplish definite results"

That Senator Fulton looks lightly
upon the charges made against him
by Golfers Weekly is shown by the
following dispatch from Washington
giving the account of Fulton's con-
versation concerning 1t.
He places the blame for the attack
upon him on the interior department
and makes plain the enmity between
himself and Secretary Hitchcock.
The dispatch says:
When he left the White House to-
day, Senator Fulton was stopped by
several newspaper men and asked
about Golfers story. He told them
substantially what was stated in those
dispatches yesterday. and jokingly
remarked that 1t was time some in
vestigation was made to ascertain
what government agents were robbing
the mails or looting his committee
room in order to get possession of let
ters addressed to him.
He referred to two brief letters
quoted by Golfers, purporting to
come from Charles H. Carey and John
Hall, urging him to prevent Bristols
confirmation. The senator said he
had had thorough search made
through his files and no such letters
were found.
He declared one of two conclusions
was logical presuming the letters had
been written: Either the letters were
abstracted from his files or else they
We're taken from the mails before
reaching him. He had no knowledge
Of having ever seen them. AS a mat
ter of fact, the senator attaches no
Importance to the letters
Speaking seriously, however, he
said that the interior department had
been unable to hurt him other than
10y inspiring Golfers article, a story
which he characterized as a bunch
of lies turned loose" and he added
that he understood this same manner
of warfare was to continue against
other senators and representatives,
who have failed to bow the knee to
pure and holy patriots who find good
only in themselves"
81 think" he continued, "that where
a man is charged with corruption, the
charge should be free from dirty
work"
Mr.. Fulton called on the president
to introduce Peter Loggie, of Coos
Bay. The president was cordial in ,his
greeting to the senator and gave no
indication that he had been impressed
by the publication of Golfers story.
The subject was not mentioned. neith-
Ell was the Bristol case.

Amusement Last Evening.

"The Governors Wife" a dy

more or less amusement for an audi

is the Governor, who rules his. wife
with an iron hand when she is not
around. On coming home sober one
evening he was not recognized by his
