Live Stock Report.

KANSAS CITY, June Il. 1907 - Cattle receipts were smaller this week than last, and the market on fed stock is 10 to 15 higher, except medium to common COWS and heifers, which are 10 to 9 cents lower. A heavy run of quarantines arrived, nearly one-third the total run, and these ran largely to grassers, market on which declined 10 to 15 cents. Fed quarantines remained abont steady and the week is closing good today on grass steers, while COWS and helfers are quarter lower for the week. Packers are compelled to buy steers in place of cows, which makes a wide outlet for all classes of steers, and particularly the light and cheaper grass cattle. Fed steers sold up to $6.40 this week, fed Colorados at $620, bulk of steers $5.50 to $6.15. yearlings at $6.25, fed heifers $4.25 to $5.45, cows $3.00 to SAYS, bulls $3.25 to $500, veals $4.50 to $700, stock steers $3.50 to $5.75, feeders $4.25 to $500. There is apparently no change in the attitude of either the packers or the commission men regarding their recent differences, although the victory so far rests with the sellers.
 Sheep receipts this week were only 22,000 head, yet the market declined p cents on sheep and yearlings, and 25 to 90 cents on lambs. Heavily loaded markets in the East, together with the fall ing off in consuming demand, be- cause of high prices, caused bad break East last week, which be- came effective here Tuesday of this week. Values may work back to the recent high point, as there Is no prospect of any great supply from nearby territory. Range offerings have been small this week, Arizona sheep and yearlings mixed yesterday at $6.50, Texas muttons earlier in the week at $500, and. some of Kelly < Norris wethers, 87 lbs, Wednesday at s6.15, which was after the decline was estab- lished. Goats now sell at $4 40 to $4.75, feeding goats around $3 So $4.25. Top spring lambs today $8.40. J. A. RICKART, l.. 5. c.

When President McCrea few days
ago went to Philadelphia and took
charge of the general offices of the sys-

was born a little less than fifty-nine
years ago, his father being a Philadel-

a mathematical mind and was sent to

At the age of seventeen he knew
enough to quit school and enter the

McCrea had become manager of the
lines west of Pittsburg and Cassatt
was occupying high office in the east

heard much praise of what the western
man was doing.
"Who is this man McCrea?'' inquired
Mr.. Cassatt.

The old time friendship was renew

modest, would object TO the title of

less Importance in this modern world
than this American citizen.
The McCrea realm embraces more

Add to this showing the fact that the
Pennsylvania is Of vital Importance to
the development of Il dozen great
states and to the Industries of a score
of large cities, including New York,
the metropolis of the new world and
the financial and commercial center OF
the whole world. Add again the fact
that this system now has in New

the Suez canal Add again the inter-
esting fact that the Pennsylvania IS
the first railroad system in the world
to burrow and bore under rivers and
cities sn a stupendous scale.
Now, considering all these facts and
figures, is 1t required that one should
take out a poetic license before calling
Mr.. McCrea the ruler of n realm?
"a Working Official"
President McCrea has been a rail-
roader for more than forty years. His
climb toward the top has been grad
ual and steady, but sure. Starting at
the bottom, he got firm foothoid and
never fell down. 1t was no easy as
cent He toiIed upward all the way.
The new president is what is known to
the railroad world as working Off
cial
That he has not been afraid Of work
is attested by a story of his earlier
railroad days. When he was about
twenty-five years old he was an assist
ant engineer in the construction de-
partment of the Pennsylvania. A
wreck On his division tied up the trains
in both directions Mr.. McCrea reach
ed the scene Of the wreck after some
delay and rushed up to the wrecking
foreman.
"What can I do?, he asked excitedly.
Nothing" replied the foreman.

Consistent Foe of Grating.

The one thing about President Nc
Crea which will cause the rest of the
United States to offer him the glad
hand and congratulate him upon his
promotion is that he Is Il consistent and
persistent foe of grating. That is his
record. He is quoted as saying re-
Gently:
Il can forgive an outright thief or n
burglar or safe breaker, but l hate
CRATER, Il man who betrays Il trust,
who leads one life and acts another,
who wears Il hypocritical smile while
he holds out hand behind him for
perquisites. That man is n sneak and
n coward"
And Mr.. McCrea supplemented this
energetic remark by adding:
God hates a quitter, but he hates
CRATER more"
One of the latest revelations of the
active muck rake is to turn up alleged
grating in some divisions of the Penn
sylvania railroads vast and complex
administration. IF such things really
exist the public may count upon Pres
ident McCrea to push the probe.
Mr.. McCrea is Il big man physically
and capable Of much vigorous work.
He stands two inches above six feet,
weighs $50 pounds, keeps himself in
trim by playing golf with as much en-
thusiasm as he carried crossties thirty
years ago and never lets either work
or recreation interfere with his at
tendance at church. He raised the
money, by the way, about Il quarter
Of a million dollars. to build the Epis-
copal church in Pittsburg of which he
