FT%RUST busting Is a young thing,
not yet of age. The very first
III step by the United States gov
eminent toward curling the
anarchistic tendencies of gigantic cor
porations was taken in 1887, when the
interstate commerce law was created.
In these twenty years the trust bust
ing business developed rather slowly.
Two or three years ago its progress was
accelerated by a certain clearly defined
policy of the national administration,
altogether nonpartisan. This policy
was merely the enforcement of the
laws. Since then something has been
doing. Just now the biggest things
that ever happened in the trust bust
ing line are In process of working out.
In Europe thousand years ago and
for a few centuries later the feudal
baron was above the law. IN the
United States for the past thirty years
the Doodle baron has been above the
law. Since the American civil war
two entirely new things have become
known to the world -tramps and trusts.
The trusts, or monopolies, have been
largely responsible for the tramps by
crushing competition and squeezing the
small business man ort of the game.

Prof. Daniel Willard returned to
/ Fargo Monday from Hettinger coun-
ty, whore he has. been in charge of
a land survey which was sent out by.
the Northern Pacific railroad for the
purpose Of finding out what kind of
land is in their possession within the
fifty mile Indemnity limit. The par
ty which was doing the work was
composed of Prof. Willard, T. D.
Rice and Ray Babcock. lhis party
covered territory fifty miles east
and west by fifteen miles north and
south during the summer and made
complete sketch of each section of
the land belonging to the N. P. rail-
road In these sketches the land
was classified as farming and
grazing and each class was then
graded
With the party We're Ray willard
and John Weaver who were making
soil survey for the national and
state governments. This party took
each section of land and gave de-
tailed account of the kinds of soil
and zsubsoil& that were to be found
on it. During the summer they
made a complete survey of 5000 sec
tions of land in Morton, Hettinger
and Adams counties. ~.
DR. w. B. Bell was also a mem
Der of the party and has been max
ing a study of the natural grasses
and other forage plants that were
to be found in this section of tbs
state. He is collecting these grasses
and the necessary information for
the purpose of determining what
kind OF vegetation is best adapted
to certain localities by finding what
natural grasses grow in the soil
Prof. Willard said that the land
survey had been completed in parts
OF Morton, Hettinger and Adams
counties. The other members of the
pare.v will be in about October i
The soil survey men will be in by
the end of the week. There is also
another party composed of F. A.
Keeher and R. P. Stevens now in Nc
Renzie county, making a soil survey
that will be in about October /.
Prof Williams said: 1T was GER
tainly fine summers work and has
been very pleasant. One thing that
is worth mentioning is the fact that
not one of the party was sick dur
ing the entire summer
etThe farmers of this section con-
tinued Prof. Willard, stdo not real
ize the kind of land that is to be
found west Of the Missouri 1t is a
most peculiar condition The land
is very broken and the quality is
very uneven. There will be small
spots, some about an acre in size,
that is perfectly bare with the ex-
ception of cactus and sage brush.
Close to this will be patches of
ground that has good covering of
grass. The hills are all fiat on top
and the sides are bare while the top
is well covered with grass. @r

They are very plentiful here in this

Stockers and Feeders,

Country demand has been good all
week both from the east and nearby
western territory. Well bred strong
weight steers have had first call, but
these We're scarce, and, failing to get
the kinds they most wanted, many
buyers took the next lower grade.
There was thus healthy demand for
all but the poorest kinds and each day
a fair volume of trade has been noted.
More strictly good steers could have
been sold a firm prices. Buyers wanted
a liberal number of these to fatten for
the fall and early winter markets.
Scarcity of the most desirable classes
has been the only detriment to big
trade in these at Very good prices
Eastern call for medium to good stock
ers had grown to liberal proportions
but the good pasturage in most sec
tons induces owners to hold onto their
stock steers and thus are the buyers
doomed to appointment. Trashy lit
tie steers are not wanted badly and
these still have to go at low prices,
but anything at all desirable costs as
much now as any time this season.

Cattle Market Remains Steady-Sheep

Closed Steady-Market Conditions
and Current Prices in Chicago and

Chicago, Aug. l0.-Cattle trade was
nominal. Receipts were about 500 and
the market was called steady
Trade is closing the week in decidedly
poorer shape than at the start. Early
on Monday there was satisfactory de-
mand, but the market finished that day
in feeble condition. This was the be-
ginning OF what has subsequently
proved a bad week for sellers. Lower
prices have been in force every day
since and on "Wednesday particularly
the drop was felt severely, bulk of
sales then going 10Ml5c lower and
putting general values zoe under the
opening range this week and like de-
cline was also shown In comparison
with the closing a week ago.
Five days receipts have totaled 3d.
600, against 46,6T2 week ago and ST.
$50 year ago. This increased mar
keting came at time when trade con-
ditions really called for smaller re-
cepts than last week. Hot weather has
been a bearish factor in beef trade, re-
ducing consumption and the result was
desire on slaughterers' part to oper-
ate more conservatively. Instead
however they were offered more cattle
than last week, in buying they have
demanded liberal concessions in prices
and got them with little effort
The whole lisr has been in poor re-
quest from all Strengthening interests
and until the situation improves small
receipts will be needed. Arrival of the
first range steers of the season put
medium habitat natives in poorer fav-
or and a liberal supply of rangers is
looked for next week and thereafter.
These are strong competitors against
natives, which command relatively
higher prices, and buyers preferment
for the westerns is likely to force still
lower level for natives in the event
that liberal marketing is continued.
Hogs.
AS was anticipated yesterday, light
run was received and prices were to

Chicago this week $4,000 brls of pork.

The sheep situation remains practi-
cally unchanged. Receipts We're light
and the market closed steady.
Mutton markets this week showed
decided Improvement on those of last
week and supplies really fell below
actual trade requirements. Slaughter
ers had need of more of the good, fat
sheep and yearlings than We're avail
able and there were ten buyers for

Interstate Commerce Law Causes
Changes in Stock Cars.
The interstate commerce law In re-
gard to the feeding and watering of
cattle In transit is responsible for a
very large task that will be performed
by car men at many of the shops in
the middle west, altho none of the ex-
ira work has yet fallen to the Cedar
Ra pids shops. To comply with the law
and 10 avoid the necessity of unloading
cattle two or three times in one trip
a special set of tanks and troughs have
been invented and the cars that arc
operated on the lines between Chicago
and the western cattle country are be-
ing fitted up with the lately construct
ed appliances This is not necessary on
the cars that carry stock from Iowa.
as the trains are able to make the trip
within the time stipulated by the COM
mission that stock must he watered.
but on the roads leading from the
states west of Iowa watering in tram
sit is necessary. The Milwaukee is fit
ting up one thousand cars with the
new appliances at the companys shops
in Dubuque.
Each car will be fitted up with
twenty four foot troughs which are d.
vided into four sets of six each. On the
four corners of the cars cast iron res
ervoirs two feet deep, three feet long
and two feet wide are placed. Each OF
these is connected with a line Of six
troughs and a hydrant arrangement
will supply them with water. The ar
rangement is said to be far better than
anything heretofore proposed and will
fill all the requirements of the law.
When the new troughs are added there
will be no necessity for a government
inspector to enter and drive out the
cattleto water, as has often been the
case. The cattle will also be benefited
and will be in better condition on en-
teling the stock yards.

Kansas City, Aug 10-According to
local history, Bill Quantrell, the guer-
rla leader. who played so important
a part in the Observation-Disclosures border
warfare Of the early days, died in the
sisters hospital at Louisville, Ky. The
Rev Thomas Cobb. formerly pastor OF
the Methodist Episcopal church of this
city. but now located in Oklahoma,
knew Quantrell in Kentucky during
the civil war He was a cavalry re-
camDed with Quantrell for two days
and had many talks with him.
The Rev Cobb said:
"Quan.rel was then in central Ken
lucky. He was on his way to Virginia.
and Maryland to join Mosby. He had
skirmish with the federal troops, the
Twelfth Kentucky cavalry, and was
seriously wounded. He was not known
as Quantrell during that expedition,
but under the name of Captain Clark.

that time by Colonel Folsom. One day
Colonel Folsom asked me if l knew
Quantrell and 1 told him I did. Then
he asked me if I would identify him,
and l said would if he were dead.
Then you will not identify him if he is
alive?' asked Colonel Folsom.
".No,' 1 replied. was taken to view
a body but it was not that of Guam
trell. But day or two later several
of Quantrelrs men saw the dead body
of their leader in the sisters hospital
and attended his funeral in the Catho-
lie cemetery. This l believe is the true
story of Quantrell's death and burial"

John Sharp. who is over 70, wiry and

stated TO Duffy that he was correct in
his recog alton. Sharp said he had
been left as dead and instead of dying
of his wounds at Louisville. as history
recorded. had taken horse, ridden
many miles and disappeared
He made his way to South America,
living a number of years in Chile,
whence he went to Texas, where he en-
gagged in the cattle business, making
considerable money, which he ex-
hausted Then he went to Oregon,
where he punched cows and drove cat

he came to British Columbia nearly
two decades ago and engaged in log
ging at different camps of the north
east coast of Vancouver Island until
ten years ago, when he became trap
per of the northern coast.
Six or seven years ago he went to
Quatsino where he was made car carer
at West Vancouver mines

in the story of the cutting up of his
band, and when his narrator told of
how forty men had been killed tears
are said to have rolled down the old
