A goodly number of citizens at
tended the called meeting of the
Commercial club at the court house
last Friday evening. 1t was gener-
slly understood that the question of
nominating ticket to be voted for
at the coming election would be
discussed, but Chairman r. w.
Smith quickly dispelled any notions
of that kind by announcing that he
did not believe it the policy of the
club to get tangled up in affairs of
that kind and gently but firmly
suggested that all aspirants for mu-
nicipal honors would have to worry
along without the official endorse
ment of the club.
w. c. Howie enlightened the
meeting upon a very importan,
matter. In a brief and well-worded
speech he stated that it required
only population of one thousand tc
change from village to a city OF
the second class and gave a number
of very excellent reasons why
Mountain Home should take this
much needed step.
County Surveyor Rhoades was
also present and submitted esti.
mates as to the amount of pipe il
would take to give the city an ade.
quate water and sewer system, anc
for the benefit of those of our read
els who were not present we here
with publish the result of Mr.
Rhoades' painstaking labors.

Course in Horseshoeing.

Hon. E. H. Grubb of Carbon
dale, member of the state board
of agriculture, is in the city con-
sulting with officers of the Black
smiths union regarding the OPEN
ing OF a school in farriery at Fort
Collins, says the Denver Record
Stockman. The plan is to edu-
cate young men in the art of
shoeing horses in a scientific
manner. The union is greatly
interested and the new course at
Fort Collins is likely to become
very popular. The art of proper
ly shoeing q horse is one that re-
quires scientific knowledge. In
this country there is no such
course in any school. but Mr..
Grubb is determined that Colora-
do shall take the lead and intro
duce such course as a part of
the agricultural college work, SC
that farmers and stockmen may
know how their horses should be
shod, even if they do not enter
the business themselves. The
new course will be opened this
coming term.

Live Stock Markets.
Special to the Tribune.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Sept.
%. "A big run of cattle and an
extraordinary demand were the
features last week. The receipts
were "a. 800 head, including a.
600 calves, the biggest week ever
known at this market, and the
demand not only absorbed this
great total, but the number held
over at the end of the week was
reduced 1000 head, as compared
with close of previous week. The
market declined 10 to 25 cents
during the week. The supply
today is 10000 less than ON last
Monday, or 10, 200 head, market
strong to 10 cents higher, she
stuff 5 to Is cents higher.
Purchases of stockers and feed
ers last week broke all previous
records at Kansas City, or at any
other market in the world, total
of l, $50 car loads going to coun-
try points in Missouri, Kansas,
Illinois, Iowa and other states, in
the order named. A great many
country buyers are here today,
and the limited supply makes a
good market on country grades.
Wyoming killers sold at $5.0
here today, Colorados lately at
SO. 80 to $4. 25, panhandles around
$4.00, feeders at So. rs to $4. 65,
stock steers So. 35 to $4. rs, west
ern cows So. 85 to So. as, panhan-
dies and New Mexicos $2.65 to
$3.10, calves So. rs to $500. The
exceptional big demand from all
sources, together with the quick
recovery of the market today on
reduced supplies, indicates that
October prices will likely be more
attractive than present range, in
view of reduced marketing likely
to develop within the next week
or two.
Sheep and lamb supplies last
week were 1000 head, market
steady for the week on sheep, but
lambs declined 10 to Is cents late
in the week. Supply today is
II, 900 head, including good
share of country kinds, and the
market steady. Western wethers
and yearlings for killers bring
SIS. 40 to $5. 85, ewes SIS. 25 to $5. so,
lambs $500 to $40. There is g
strong demand for feeding stuff,
lambs at Sc. 60 to S.. 85, yearlings
SIS. as to SIS. 10, and extraordinary
prices are being paid for breeding
ewes, at $5.35 to $6.75. With
country buyers taking nearly sc
per cent of the receipts, the mar
ket is likely to stand up under
pretty liberal receipts.
