Hands off Frozen Apples.

The cold spell Of week before

apples on the trees and in the piles
to the core, The pickers stopped
work until the warmer weather

they will come out uninjured and

The Recorder says that in High

bushels of apples were hurredly ia.

While thousands Of bushels
were hurridly converted into cider,
perhaps as many more yet remain
on the trees, and, in their blacken-

weaver for having the courage to
invest in such stallion, which is
not only one Of the finest individ-

that have made him so renowned.
Mr. Lineweaver has refused S2750
for this fine horse, prefering to give
our people the benefit of his service

The lot of colts referred to were
brought to Monterey on Friday
last. They remained near town
until Monday and were much ad.
mired by our local hor semen. There
were ten Of them, and, as stated by
the Herald, no finer lot could be
found in any county.

Losses And Gains.

The summer and fall Of 1905 has
been one Of the most peculiar in the
history Of the county, and, as we
had occasion to remark previously,
it will be sometime before we can
all balance up the losses and gains.
Most likely they will fail to bal
ance at all, but, while much dam
age is already apparent, some good
may yet result, the measure and ex-
tent of which can only be recog.
nized and appreciated by loyal SUBJ
jects of the Great King.
In view Of losses sustained, it is
much to be grateful for that the
county has been favored and bless
ed in many respects, thus enabling
the people to bear such reverses
and tide them over the adverse
waves.
As the days 60 by, calamaties
and misfortunes growing out OF the
remarkable weather conditions be-
come more apparent. Another
week Of rain, ending on Monday
last, has damaged the major part
OF the corn crop in Highland. and,
in some instances, the damage is
complete.
But a loss, far-reaching, and
much more to be regretted than
any yet realized. or discovered, is
the supposed injury to young trees
by the October freeze. We have
inquired Of farmers from various
sections Of the county, and the
opinion is the same-that very
many, and in some cases, all the
young fruit trees are killed or dam.
aged. This is accounted for from
the fact that these tender trees
were caught while the sap was yet
flowing, a condition in fact which
almost precluded the possibility OF
escape, with the mercury several
degrees below the freezing point
for more than "a hours.
Should this loss prove to be gen.
eral throughout the mountain re-
gions, it is serious indeed, and is
greatly to be deplored. The deter
mination to repair such damage
requires brave hearts, such asHigh-
landers have, and, it is safe to pre-
dict, that. should these fears be full
ly realized, the coming season will
witness booming time in the
fruit-tree agency business.
The damage along this line,
cannot yet be determined, and
we hope it will not be as wide
spread and serious as at first sup
posed.

GOOD PROSPECTS
FOR THE FUTURE
CATTLE MARKET AT SOUTH OMA-
HA GIVES PROMISE OF FAIR
PRICES AND DEMAND.
Run of Hay-Fed steers only Moderate
n Few Offered Carrying Enough
Flesh to Make Them Suitable for
Killing Purposes-Beef Trade
Should Firm UP Considerably.
Special to The Republican.


South Omaha, Neb., April 1S.-Clay,
Robinson & Co., the commission mer,
chants of this city, advise as follows as
to the conditions of the cattle market
at this place at the present time:
The run of hay-fed cattle has been
moderate the past week. Few steers
have been received carrying enough
flesh to make them suitable for killing
purposes. The trade generally on any
thing of this sort has held not far
from steady, although the dry-lot cat
tie suffered a little weakness during
the past week.
Hay-Fed steers Selling Well.
Good kinds of hay-fed steers are
quotable around $3.50 and $4.75 at the
present time. The stocker and feeder
trade continued in fairly good shape
during the week until Thursday or
Friday. However, under only moderate
buying orders, supplies began to ac-
cumulate and dealers were forced to
make a concession of 10 to Is cents on
steers Calves, however, were rather
scarce and prices for anything of this
sort held fully steady for the week.
Some Cattle Quotations.
There is but little difference in
prices of the different weights at the
present time, good to choice kinds
selling at $4.25 and $3.50; fair to good,
81 and $4.5O; good steer calves, $4.25
and $3.50; good heifer calves SO an1
$3.4O. The butcher stock trade wound
up a little weak last Friday after suffer.
ing a drop of about a dime. Supplies
of hay-fed COWS and heifers have been
quite light of late, but choice, good fat
COWS at the present time would sell
around $4.15 and s4.35; while the or.
binary run is selling at $685. and 81.
Improvement in Fat Cattle.
Dealers expect to see moderate of.
ferings during the balance of the sea
son, and if reports can be relied upon
this looks quite natural. From best
accounts the beef trade should firm up
materially now, and We are of the opin,
ion the next month will witness a de
cided improvement in the fat cattle
market. We expect to see good inquiry
for stockers and feeders up to the first
of June, more particularly for the
light and medium weight steers for
stock purposes. The trend of the fat
cattle market has considerable to do
with prices for steers for feeding pur.

Be Fine and Long and Some Good
Prices Are Looked For.
snecinl to The Republican.

Rock River, Wyo., April 1S.-Shear-
ing is expected to start here about the
goth, when twenty-five or thirty sheep
shearers will be employed, the firms
having sheep including the Swan Land
and Cattl company, Frank Prayer,
John McGiil and the Toltec company
1t is estimated that between 10000 and
$4,000 sheep will be shorn here this
year. The clip will be the finest ever
taken here. 1t will be clean and light,
of good long fiber, and promises to
make a new record for price. The own
ers are not saying much about price
and although several offers have beer
made by eastern buyers, some of whom
have had representatives here, little
wool is changing hands now. The sea
son promises large returns and already
there is some activity among owners
of flocks.

COMMITTEE DECIDES
To PRINT PAMPHLETS.

The printing COMM, ee of the Lara
mic Commercial club has decided to
print 1900 copies of u forty-page
pamphlet on the mining resources of
Albany county and 5000 copies of a
pamphlet on the agricultural POSSIBLE
tiles, the latter to have about sixty
pages, and these will be used in induc-
ing settlers here from other sections
of the country The decision of the in
terror department to permit emigration
agents on the eastern seaboards will be
taken advantage of by the Commercial
club, in connection with other similar
organizations, in the distribution of
copies of the pamphlets to aliens as
they land here seeking homes in this
country 1t is believed al immense
amount of activity is before this county
both in the agricultural and mining
way during the next year or two. The
intensive farming operations on the
Laramie plains are being noted in the
east.

FORMER lARAMIElTE
Is VISITING FRIENDS.

Harry M. Joslin, for many years a
well known grocery clerk of this city,
being one of the old stand-byes of the
TRADING Commercial company, is shak-
ing hands with his score of old friends
in Laramie. Mr.. Joslin is now associ-
alter with Ernest Downing, also a for
mer Laramieite, in the grocery bust
ness at Great Falls, Mont, and the firm
is enjoying splendid success. He re-
ports all the former residents of this
city now located at Great Falls as IN
joying happiness and prosperity.
Among the number is Louis Heyne, a
former photographer here, who has a
lucrative business, has built himself an
elegant new home, has a delightful
wife and two bright children. Mr..
Thomas Downing, formerly a Laramie
butcher, is engaged in the hide buying
business, is very successful and he and
his family are enjoying health and hap
piness. Mr.. Joslin will remain here but a
few days, being on his way home from
a business trip to Chicago.

Division Officials Here,

Assistant Superintendent w. H. Pet,
erson and Division Engineer A. j.
Wharf of the Wyoming division of the
Union Pacific were here this morning,
in Mr.. Peterson's official car, looking
after a number of matters requiring
their attention. Mr.. Wharf visited the
stock yards in company with John II.
Davis and inspected the entertainments
made along the river front to protect
the stock yards property, and both
gentlemen went to the sand pits and
ice pond to lay out some work to be
done there this summer. Mr.. Peter

shops and spent a part of his time

Notes From the Shops.

Preparations are already being made
to care for the large amount of bust,
ness when the June shipment of stock
begins.
Harry Gloyd of Colorado yesterday
afternoon assumed the position of day
foreman of the stationary plant at
the shops, in place of Mr.. Lindborg,
who will go to Rock Island.
The shaft for the rail shear at the
rolling mills was pressed INTO the cog
wheel yesterday afternoon. The bro.
ken shaft was pressed out in the huge
press at the shops, which applied 125
tons before the piece would start, and
even then the cog wheel had to be
heated and expanded before the by

with every engine on the division
in service, and with the busy season
fairly beginning" said a railroad EN-
ploye this morning, ut looks to me as
though the company would have to in
crease its shop force here or add to
the number of engines. We are put
to it every night to get the engines
ready after they come in off a run. If
new engines are added the shop force
will have to be increased, so l think
there must come an increase of the
force. 1t is said the stock business
will be several hundred cars a month
heavier than last year and the general
business of the past winter has been
the largest l ever saw on the Wyoming
division"

EnIaraina the Ice Reservoir.

The railroad company will greatly
enlarge the ice reservoir here, in an.
~ticipation of the harvest of a larger
amount of ice next year than last, to
fill the ice houses to be built here.
The sand loading machine to be in.
stalled by Messrs. Will Thomas and
John Davis will remove several thou
sand tons of sand from the river Ind
this will make room for the storage
of water for ice purposes. The load
ing machine is here and as soon as
Mr.. Wharf, the division engineer for
the Wyoming division, selects a site
for it the machinery will be installed.
That was among the matters taken up
today upon the visit of the engineer
to the city.
