Range Cattle Market.

Chicago, Oct |. - There were
practically no range cattle on sale at
Chicago the closing days of last
week ,and the market was reported
lower at outside points except on the
desirable kinds. Supplies Monday
were 10000 and of this number about
10000 were westerns. There was a
good inquiry for the heavy weight
westerns, as is evidenced by our sale
at 5000 of load of 1,447 pound Mon
tanas and the sales of the Huide-
koper Dakotas at $5.75@$5.50. The
general run Of lighter weight cat
tie, which were in the majority as a
matter of course, showed 10@15 cents
decline and quite number of these
had to be held over.
The run tuesday was 10000 cat
tie, of which number 1000 were
westerns. The market was generally
steady.
The striking feature of the range
cattle market at the present time is
the excellent demand and outlet for
the heavier weight westerns. We
have sold in the past week several
loads Of 1900 to l,450 pound Da-
kota and Montana beeves at $3.50 to
5000 The partial shortage of native
cattle accounts for this With in
creasing supplies, naturally the light
er weight and less desirable kinds
work lower, but the market as
whole is in very satisfactory condi-
ton and the prospect looks quite
favorable for the balance of the
saeson.
Among our sales yesterday and to.
day were the following:

replied that for every mile of road
built by Mr.. Hill in Canada, he would
build two in the United States.
Mr.. Hills threat has not vet
materialized, but with the doubling of
the capital stock of the 500, another
transcontinental line of railroad is
predicted, and the mileage of the
Canadian Pacific projected to approx
imately double that of Mr.. Hills
road
so popular has the Canadian Pa
cific road become with easterners who
visit the coast that it is altogether
unable to care for the business offer
ed it. The past season all through
trains have been run in two and three
sections with IL to Is standard and
tourist coaches to each section. The
coming season still another train will
be added, making three through trains
each way daily between the coast
and the Twin Cities. Only one of
these trains will do any local work,
the rest carrying no day coaches
whatever.
"But even with this arrangement
it will be an impossibility to prop
erly handle the business, and the only
solution is another transcontinental
road. 1t is for the purpose of build
ing such that the 500 line doubled
its capital last week. At present the
500 has almost completed an ex-
tension from its main line at Carpio,
North Dakota, to the eastern border
of Montana, and the completion of
another line to the coast is a ques-
ton of months.
"The new road will pass through
Spokane and will probably have its
terminal at Tacoma. When it is
completed, and it is said the project is
far more than mere speculation, there
will be seven transcontinental roads
between the Pacific coast and the
GREAT lakes.
Considerable speculation has been
started as to terminal location, noun
tain route, ETC., but the plans are too
immature and recent for any definite
statements"
Traffic managers Of the Canadian
Pacific and 500 lines, it is announced,
will meet with Sir Thomas Shaugh-
messy, general manager of the sys-
tenn, in Seattle 70 Tacoma, some time
next month, at which time more ex-
| tended information concerning the
project can be made public.

PERMITS ISSUED
FOR BUILDINGS

With the building construction now
under way, the permits issued for new
work, and the plans not yet matured
in the architects Offices the demand
for mechanics and unslti.led labor in
Paducah win show no slack for many
months. And when actual work is
started on the new First National
bank building. ID is expected that car
penters. br'iclolayers and other me-
chanics will have to be imported to
take care of the business.
Permits for building two new res
licences costing in the thousands, were
issued in February from the city en-
gineer's Office. The Loeb estate Sc
cured permit to build $4,000 res
idence on Fountain avenue between
Broadway and Jefferson street. VIII
liam Katterjohn is erecting a $4,000
residence en- Sixth street between
Jefferson and Monroe streets. In the
architects offices, plans are being
drawn for one or two of the hand
soonest residences eaer built in the
city, and many less pretentious.
The total amount of building per-
mits issued in February was $9.S50.

NEW ICE PLANT
FOR BREWERY co.

Belvedere is fast taking rank
among the best beers in the country
on account of the improved process
of its brewing. The Paducah Brew
cry company is spending some $l5,-
900 in practically reconstructing the
bottling department. BESIDES this,the
company is undertaking an expendi-
ture of $4,000 for a Cotton ice ma
chine and refrigerating plant. This
is necessitated because the present
machine is sufficient only to run the
refrigerating plant in the summer
time. subjecting the product at all
times to the danger of spelling.

run constantly, break down. The
company will not go into the general

product of the plant viii be sold.

RAILROAD MAPS
WITHOUT PADUCAH

Attention has been called to Secre-
tary Coons, of the Commercial club
that many of the folders issued by the
big trunk line railroads showing the
schedule of trains, contain maps OF
the country which do not show Padu-
cab on them. The railroad man in
terested in the city's growth, who
pointed out the fact that Paducah is
mot shown on many of the schedule
folder maps. is going over all the
folders of the different railroad sys-
tens and marking those which do not
contain maps showing the location
of the city.
This same railroad man pointed out
the fact to Secretary Coons that many
of the railroads whose folders do not
show Paducah. regularly send solic-
iting agents to get business for their
roads. In view of the fact that they
think the city worth that effort on
their part. 1t seems reasonable that
Psducah should be sufficiently i'm
portant to be shown on their maps.
1t isnot thought that any business
man contemplating coming to Padu-
cab would be impressed to open a
railroad folder and find no indica-
tion of the city's existence. OF
course, both railroads which reach
Paducah show the city on their maps
but sach near roads as the Iron Noun
tain route and the Frisco system dc
not locate the CITY,
Secretary coons probably will write
to the railroads, whose maps do not
show Paducah. and have the next
ones issued correct the error.

Residents of the Clark's river sec

Mccoy ford all day yesterday in the
hope of finding the body of Sam
Farmer, a farmer, who is suppos-

were found below the ford on the
Benton side of the river still nitched
to the front part of the wagon, their

animals had been standing there two
days with nothing TO eat or drink.

warded a check for $2.O24 TO the
Acknowledgement National bank here
in payment of an account owed to
either the e. Rehl0opf Saddlery COM

which has precipitated sharp con-
test between Trustee Cecil Reed, of
the e. Rehkopf Saddlery company,
and Trustee A. e. Boyd, Of e. Reh-
kopf, over the disposal of the money.
OF the amount, $3.50 will be paid to
the Mechanics & Farmers Savings

man National bank, for accounts ne
gotiated In these two banks. The re-
mainder SLOTS, will be awarded to
one of the two bankrupt estates in
Judge Bagby's court. Trustee Boyd
claims the amount not due the banks
belongs properly to the personal
bankrupt estate, because the merchan
disc was sold by the collar factory,
owned personally by e. Rehkopf.
Trustee Reed. of the e. Rehkopf Sad
dlery company, claims the money Is
an asset OF the corporation. A pre-
