Denver Markets.

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS,
June 1.-Over $4,000 head of
cattle arrived at the local yards
last week but a major portion of
them were southerns and native
offerings were light. Prices ad-
vanced early in the week but
later owing to lower markets
East there was some loss. Good
steers closed strong compared
with week ago and good cows
Is to 20 cents higher, the latter
being in strong demand. Steers
sold mostly at 81 85 to S.. 80 with
cows at S4.OO to $3.50. A bunch
of choice cows sold early in the
week at $500. Common cows
showing grass are very dull and
fully half a dollar lower. Bulls
sold mostly at $3.50 to $500,
about steady. Veal calves were
strong to a little higher with
tops at $5. 40. Feeder and stock
er trade was quiet as both sup
ply and demand was limited.
Prices closed about the same as
a week ago. Good fleshy feeders
and desirable yearlings are meet
ing with very good inquiry but
the common kinds are slow sale.
Some trading was done during
the week in southern stockers as
there is very good demand for
them here now. Today's re-
ceipts were 5000 head, bulk
southerns but a very fair sprink-
ling of natives. Demand strong
and market 10 to Is cents higher
on the best.
Hogs were in liberal Offering
and the demand for good ones
strong. Prices are higher than
a week ago, bulk now selling at
SIS. 40 to $3.50. Pigs weighing
less than 100 pounds are slow
sale and bring around S1.5O per
cwt. less than heavier hogs.
The sheep market was dull
and lower. Receipts were light

States Senator in Oregon Mon
day. They did it by direct vote
and the successful candidate is
the second United States Senator
to be chosen in that manner.
The first was elected two years
ago when Jonathan Bourne, Jr.,
second elective term for Roos-
evelt man" was chosen. In Mon
days election Judge Henry M.
Cake, republican, contested with
Governor George C. Chamberlain,
democrat, for the honor. Cake
secured his nomination by de-
feating the present republican
senator, Charles w. Fulton, in
the primaries after a bitter fac
tional battle in which Francis ].
Heney took a spectacular part
against Fulton. Chamberlain
was not opposed in his own
party. The political situation in
Oregon is very peculiar. 1t is a
normal republican state about
80, 600 majority, but due to the
exceptional popularity of Cham
berlain the democrats have cleo
ted him governor for the past
two terms.
This result is obtained by
pledging up the majority of the
candidates for the state legisla-
ture prior to their election to
Statement No. 1. Statement No.
provides that the legislator
pledges himself to vote for the
peoples choice for United States
senator regardless of party lines.
So popular is the Statement No. 1
that unless the candidate an
nounces himself as a Statement
man he stands but slight show
of election to the legislature.
Oregon is much further ad-
vanced in the science of repub-
lican government than any other
community in the world with
the exception of New Zealand.
Besides the direct vote on the
United States senator they have
the initiative and referendum
and yesterday voted on an
amendment to the state consti-
tuition providing for the single
tax, woman suffrage, the incor.
poration of Statement No. l into
the constitution making it obli-
gatory that every member of the
legislature vote for the people, s
choice for senator, changing OF
the time of the general election,
increasing the number of state
supreme judges, proportional
representation and the recall. =
