when an operator was discharged and

Jefferson City, Aug. 10.-Missouri
continues to forge to the front as a
live stock state, having made a gain
in 1906 of SIC, 374, 1877 over the preced-
ing year In the value Of the surplus
cattle, horses and mules, hogs, sheep,
goats, jacks and stations which were
placed on the market for disposal.
Never before has the increase been as
large.
According to the figures OF the
State Labor Bureau compiled for the
1907 edition of the "Red Book" by
Supervising Statistician, A. T. Ed
monston under the direction OF Com
missioner ]. @. A. Hitler and made
public to-day by Chief Deputy J. H.
Nolen, the surplus live stock OF Mis-
souri, for the year 1906 yielded the
enormous sum Of sl07, S4,3sl, more
than enough to build for Uncle Sam
a fleet Of twenty-five of the largest
cruisers and battleships afoat.
Just how many Of the 149,593 head
OF horses and mules were horses and
how many were mules, the railroad
and steamboat returns TO the Bureau
OF Labor do not show, but the In
crease of the two is large enough to
show that the State continues to hold
its lead as an international mule mar
ket.
