CHICAGO LAMB PRICES.
Choice Top Stuff Reached 500 in
Chicago Market.

The Chicago Livestock World gives
the following review of the sheep and
lamb market for the past week
Sheep were steady to strong; lambs
mostly dime lower. The run was
expected to be between 25,0O0 and
10000, and of these 75 per cent were
lambs. A considerable sprinkling of
shorn stuff was included. The sheep
end of the supply was wanted. Ex-
porters were slIirmishing around look
ing for wethers, and, as was the case
last week, had to go to heavy lambs,
having no alternative. Top lambs
made 500.
Weather conditions did not favor
the dead meat trade. In muggy con-
ditions the kind of lambs that now
compose the bulk of supply do not
keep well-even in coolers, and killers
are reluctant to get much of ii on
hand. Retailers buy sparingly and
from hand to mouth for the same
reason.
Eastern markets were dull and be-
low a parity with Chicago prices. This
condition affecting the shipping de-
mand adversely. Buffalo quoted
lambs at $7DI10, and Jersey City at
s7m7.25.

municipal government has set aside
$4,000,000 In gold for public improve-
ments, most of which will be spent
on the new water and sewer systems,
contracts for which have already been
let and the work under way; also the
big steel docks. and docks for the
quartermaster's department are un-
der construction.
The government has also closed a
contract for the construction of the
four railroads in the southern part Of
the island which will place the city
of Manila on a more substantial basis
The contract for the construction of
the railroads for Luzon are still in
an unsettled condition as the contrac-
tors specifications and plans were not
presented in the completed form.
With a few alterations Mr.. Rea feels
confident the government will ap-
prove of them and award the con-
tracts in the very near future.
Mr. Rea was accompanied to Wash
ington by w. c. Wellborn. director
of agriculture, who was also in Wash
ington in the interest of the tariff
bill. He will remain in the city
few days and will leave for San Fran
cisco from which point he will sail
in the near future for Manila.

Sprayed 3O-Acre Apple Orchard.

w. N. Yost, of Meridian, of the
Bissell-Yost Commercial Orchards
company, writes that his company
will put out 5S acres of apples this
spring. They have just finished
spraying their bearing orchard of 80
acres and have done the best job, he
says, they have ever done. Mr.. Yost
says: 1--WE should know, in fact, that
we do better every year"
In that contention Mr.. Yost makes
a point worth remembering. They
use hand power in spraying and have
no trouble in keeping up to 90 or
100 pounds pressure. For an orchard
of 90 or 80 acres Mr.. Yost does not
think a power sprayer necessary. But,
with an acreage much above that, he
thinks it would be an advantage.
Mr.. Yost says that the spraying
just completed, which was very thor
oush, cost them s1S5. 1t was the
lime, sulphur and salt remedy.-Me-
ridian Tribune.

CONCERNING ALASKAN COPPER.
Big Smelter of 1000 Tons Daily Ca
pacity at Valdez.

"A great coup for hte possession of
the Alaska copper interests near VAL
dez, Seward and the interior country
has just been made by John Rosene,
of the Northwestern Steamship COM
pany and allied companies, says the
Seattle Star.
Those returning from New York
and San Francisco state that Mr.. Ro-
scne has received the backing of the
Guggenheims and Havemeyer inter-
ests for his railroad project from VAL
dez which will tap the interior copper
deposits.
The first expedition sent out by the
company to the copper properties
reached its destination March %.
making the trip from Valdez in II
days. In less than two years 1t is es-
timated the new road will be complet-
ed to the properties, which is consid-
cred to be in the richest copper belt
in the world. Sixty miles have al
ready been graded, and men are being
sent north by every steamer to work
on the construction crews.
Apropos of the building of the
road. direct information comes from
San Francisco that the Guggenheims
have already made plans for the con-
struction at that city of the largest
smelter on the coast. Furnaces are
being put in for the treatment of
1000 tons n day. The ore from the
north will be shipped direct there.
BY the time the railroad is completed
the smelter will be ready, and spec
tally built ore carriers will have been
constructed for handling the ore from
Valdez to San Francisco.

MILLIONS GOOD MORALS.
City Council Was Once Offered S25OO
for Saloon License.

81 see that every once in a while
Walla Walla has some saloon trou-
bles," said w. A. Bannister, a con-
tractor of Milton, who is in the city
on business, says the Walla Walla
Bulletin. Mr.. Bannister is interested
in the Law Enforcement league at
Milton and he declares that the town
is entirely free from saloons, blind
pigs" and other places of like nature.
"Our little city has no saloon trou-
bles," said Mr.. Bannister, "for the
reason that there are no saloons
there.
For 20 years Milton has had no
saloons, although during this time
several blind pigs have started up,
flourished, and suddenly quit busi-
ness. Before the local option law was
in effect, there was a provision in the
town laws that license could be OBJ
tained for 5000. AS high as $2500 has
been offered the Milton council for a
license, but for 20 years there has
been none issued"

OPERATORS STILL TRYING FOR
ARBITRATION.
ANSWER TO MITCHELL
Each Reason Given by Union Head
for Refusing to Submit to Arbitra-
ton Discussed by the Employers,
Who Renew Their Attempt to Sc
cure Hearing of Difficulties.

Chicago, April 22-At a meeting
Saturday of the executive board of
the Coal Operators association of ILL
nois, Indiana and Ohio, another prop
ositson was made to the miners
through John Mitchell to arbitrate the
differences now existing between the
operators and the miners. The OBJ
jections given by Mitchell for declin-
ing to accept the arbitration proposal
are taken up seriatim by the operat-
ors in their reply. To the first rea
son given by Mitchell, that Mr.. Wind
er did not properly represent the op-
orators of western Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, the, state
ment was made that the meeting rep
resented all the tonnage of Ohio, Indi-
ana and Illinois which has not
signed the scale of 1903.
To the second reason given by
Mitchell, that many competitors of
the operators represented in Satur-
days meeting had already signed the
scale and that arbitration might de-
stroy the, competitive conditions al
ready established and consequently
would be unjust to all concerned, the
operators replied that there is now no
agreement existing under which they
can operate on a competitive basis
1t was also denied that arbitration
would destroy competitive conditions.
Mitchelrs third reason was that
the scope of arbitration had not been
defined. To this the operators re.
piled that they propose to arbitrate
the relative price of mining in the
various bituminous states, the condi-
tons of employment, system of col
lecting union dues, employment of
either union or non-union labor with
out discrimination, and any and all
other matters that affect the cost OF
production or the peace and prosper
ity of the coal mining industry.

STARVING FOR PAY.

Queer people in this world. One
Sacco, in London, volunteered to fast
for forty days for prize of $4,000
aAd won the money.
Crowds focked to see the man who
lived and did not eat. A band played
at intervals, and the people who
passed by Sacco's couch were able to
work up real pity at sight of his hol.
lowed cheeks and emaciated condi-
ton. The starvation show was a
financial success, for thousands paid
to see man starve who did not have
to starve.
The other side. A few blocks
away from the hall in which Sacco
was testing his endure ace, lies
squalid London and whole families
who are starving and whose distress
is SO complete and tragic that the
sight of it should bring tears.
There was Lizzie Edwards, aged
thirteen, who was found in a shed,
where she had been for eight days
without food. There was family OF
seven whose head had been out of
work six months. There were children
by the score who walk daily a mile
and a half for basin of free soup.
And outside the soup kitchen men
stand like hungry wolves to devour
what the children leave. There are
women who have gladly scrubbed and
washed windows for six cents day
day in order to buy bread for their
loved ones. Other women are glad to
do big family washing for twelve
cents because necessity drives them
to it. The children must eat or die.
There are 100000 hungry and hope
less poor in the city of London And
well-fed society fiocked to see a man
go without food for stake of $4,000
and paid good money to see the sight.
1t is a queer world. One must be
an optimist not to add "and heart
less one"

Guarding the Cars Life.

One of the most interesting features
of official life in St. Petersburg is the
intricate system by which the cars
life is safeguarded. Since the tragic
death of the Grand Duke Sergius the
spy system has become more compli-
Gated than ever, until now there are
whole regiments of officials and care
fully picked men and women whose
duty is to guard the car. These
officials are scattered through the
Ministry of the Interior, the secret po-
lice, and the Ministry of War. The
inner circle of the system is the
dreaded Third Section" of the secret
police--the men who are charged with
the guardianship of the cars person.
These men are highly educated, are
artists in disguise, and possess ex-
traordinary knowledge and power.
High officials, nominally their SUI
periors in rank, dread the vicinity of
one of these men, lest their most inno-
cent act--a call on friend, journey
for health or pleasure-be construed
into a sinister act demanding expla-
nation -Harper's Weekly.
