AND
HORSE SALES.
ALL SORTS OF EXCHANGES.
$4,000 WORTH OF HORSES.

That Is the amount we sold during
the year of 1906; $203,000 Of it the first
half of the year and 100000 the last
half, an average for the year of $34,333
Sl,S00 in cash every week day during
the past year.
AS our sales amounted to only $780,
600 in 1905. and the difference between
that and $412000 or $247,000 repre-
sents the gain we made during 1906, we
have almost a feeling Of timidity In
stating the year of 1907. We hope and
expect to increase our trade over 1906.
But to make another gain Of s25O,00O
seems almost an impossibility.
But we are going after it." We are
Just beginning to learn how to run a
sale. We now have our dates all ar
ranged for the first half of 1907 Sale
every two weeks, beginning on Friday.
January IL. Three special sales are
also arranged for. A special draft
horse sale on Friday. January 25. A
Breeders Catalogue Sale on Thursday.
March Z, in connection with the regu-
lar sale on Friday, March s. At this
breeders sale, we will sell Draft Stall
lions, Brood Mares and lot of Ken
lucky Bred Trotting and Thoroughbred
Stock. We already have quite con-
signment for it.
Then on May 2-3 we will hold our
Third Annual Sale of High Glass
Horses-Trotters, PAGERS, Carriage
Horses, High Actors and Drivers. This
will be made a Great Sale this year.
Our Opening Sale for 1907 is on Fri
day. Jan. IL. We want to begin the
year with a good big sale, and the pros
pect is that the market will be good. 1t
Is now widening out to cover a broader
range of classes.
Our sale last Friday was, in my judg-
ment, the most satisfactory sale we
ever held and prices certainly were
good, on the right sort.
A. P. Carmichael. our Irish friend
from Webster, who is one of our heav-
lest consignors had 8 head of horses
IN his load last week that sold at an
average OF 1924 each. These were
fine specimens of draft horses and most
of them went to Pennsylvania, T. H.
Lawson buying them. He also sold a
very fine roadster to go to the fancy
sales at Chicago. Frank Marshall Of
Ollie In connection with j. M. Fleener
of Ottumwa, holds the record of the
lear on bunch of dnpft horses. having
sold 10 head out of his load last week
at an average of $230.25.
believe we are justified in taking
some pride in the fact that we have es-
tablished here in Ottumwa market
where horses sell practically as high as
they do in Chicago.

Point and Another Across the Bor-
der Line.
From WednesdaY,s Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily.
James G. Davis, Iowa attorney for
the Chicago & Northwestern railroad
at Des Moines, upon being asked to
define the position which that com
pany would take after Jan. L, with re-
spect to free transportation, said:
''The policy of the Chicago & North
western railroad in regard to free
transportation after this date, will
be strictly to comply with the terms
and provisions of the interstate COM
merce law.
In Iowa as Well as Out.
This rule will be applied to trans
portation from one point in Iowa to
another in Iowa, the same as it Is ap-
piled to transportation from one point
in one state to a point in another state,
the interstate commerce commission
having expressed at last informally,
the opinion that when transportation
from one point in a state to another
point within the same state Is used as
a part Of an interstate Journey this
is violation of the interstate COM
merce law.
Further, it is believed advisable
to make the rules applying to state
and interstate transportation uniform.
THE interstate commerce law pro-
vides serious penalties in the way OF
fine and imprisonment, not only for
tno giving, but the receiving Of free
transportation, and it will be the po-
Icy Of this company, as understand
1t, to comply accurately with these
provisions of the law.
II further understand that the fore
going will be the policy of most, if
not all Of the other railroads operat-
ing in Iowa.
In other words, after Jan. i, 1907,
the Iowa representatives of the rail
roads operating in this state will cease
to issue free transportation altogeth-
er.
Interstate Law Prohibits.
Under the interstate commerce law
tLsre is absolute prohibition of the
issuance and use of railroad passes;
even the Issuance of transportation
in consideration Of services, etc., is
prohibited, in the judgment of the
interstate commerce commission. "A
few exceptions have been made relat-
ing to bona fide employees of the rail
road, etc. These exceptions are of a
character that general officer of the
company, at their Headquarters, must
pass upon applications for the trans
portation. The Iowa representatives
OF the roads, for instance, will have no
authority to pass judgment upon the
application so made.
