MERCER MAY SUE THE CITY
Mandamus or Court Proceedings over
Old Cambridge Hotel De-
mOIitiOn.

Application for a permit to repair the
Cambridge hotel at Thirteenth street and
Capitol avenue. being denied. the S. ID.
Mercer company by the city building in
spector, the company will either institute
mandamus- proceedings against the inspec-
tor and city council to compel the issuance
of the permit or will begin court proceed
ings to collect damages for the destruction
Ct the building. The company claims ii
was damaged to the extent of about $4,000
The application for the permit was filed
Wednesday.
The Did hotel was condemned early last
summer upon the showing of the city
building inspector, the owners claiming
that no attention was paid to testimony
they submitted, and charged the council
with exceeding It's authority and violating
the constitution of the United states
which specifies that a man shall not be
deprived of his property without due
process of law. The contention was made
by the Mercer company that the council
is not a court and has not the power to
order the destruction OF property.
The condemnation stood and the building
inspector partially RACED the building. The
Mercer company then put in a claim for
damages. This was refused by the coun-
Gil, and the latest move was the filing of
a petition for a permit to repair the build.
ing. Judge E. M. Bartlett, attorney for
the Mercer company, will decide upon what
mode of procedure to take up next upon
consultation with his client.

Grain Production Excuse.

II think probably the best explanation
may be found in grain production of the
southern section. l understand that the
production Of corn in Missouri and south
eastern Kansas is off nearly 100000 900
bushels, while in Nebraska and Iowa there
is an average crop. Naturally, with prices
Of corn up 10 60 and 70 and as high as n
cents, with a short supply, the farmers will
market hogs rather than buy corn. This Is
oorroborated pretty we'll by the large num-
Der of very hight hogs marketed in the
south. II the number of pounds instead
OF the number of head were made the
basis of a comparison Omaha might not
be far behind ST. Joseph and st. Louis.
There is nothing alarming in the re-
ceipts here. For the entire year we have
received 2,Oes.7 as against ~2.V36.si7 for the
same period last year. This shows a gain
OF 6l,Si6 head. We are looking for better
receipts. Since the first week of October
the weekly gains have been steady up to
November, at which time they have in
creased rapidly. Our receipts. l predict,
will show fully 10000 increase before the
close of the year"

Webster as "a series OF inks united; a

great opportunity here for a near-humorist
who would probably remark that none of
the links will be missing, that to the word

or that there may be quite a succession OF

libelous and untrue.

No Cause to Complain.

A. ]. Caughey, an authority on hogs, said:
There Is no cause to complain. Our
prices are good, our hogs are heavy and
our season is from six weeks to two months
later than the southern season. The mild
weather of the season makes feeding
cheaper and farmers wall not market while
they have plenty OF corn and 1t requires
SO little of it to Withstand the cold. Sea-
sons like this always keep the farmers
feeding longer because the stock is putting
on weight so fast. At the rate of increase
from day to day South Omaha will soon
rank up again. Down in st. Joseph they
tell me lots Of lightweight hogs are coming
in. Their season is earlier. Com is searcer.
From now on the daily increase over last
year will be large"
Investigation from the best private
sources as to the average prices Of hogs
for October and November. and which are
correct. show Omaha has had the better
OF It from 5 to s cents for October and nearly
that much each day during November.
This is true Of Kansas City. st. Louis ana
st. Joseph.
High and Low Receipts.
The heavy run OF hogs for 1905 was In
anuary February and March in Omaha.
During the summer, however, much OF the
large increase Of receipts was lost. The
lowest comparison was in September, from
which time on the receipts nave Increased.
At no time have the receipts fallen below
last years averages.
on the other hand, the explanation Of one
commission man was that the southern
markets had free access not only to the
east and the west. but to the big market
south Of Mason and Dixon's line. This has
been increased to remarkable proportions
lately. Omaha has little hope in that direc-
ton. This makes the southern towns active
buyers and often there is slight ADVANTAGE
in prices. Although the advantage OF price
is not so much, active buying is an induce
ment itself to the average farmer.

"Not Due to Prices.'

The receipts of hogs for this week
in Omaha were placed at 5000; Kansas
Cit had 13O, 900, st. Joseph 5000 and st.
Louis 5000. These conditions led to an
/ inquiry as to the probable reasons for
/ such low receipts.
Manager Buckingham and other mem
bers of the Union Stock Yards company
were free in a discussion of the reasons,
but found nothing remarkable or alarming
in conditions.
ut is not due to a discrepancy of prices.
Our figures for the month of October and
November compare favorably with the
prices in the south Missouri country" said
Mr.. Buckingham. w never officially
quote the average for publication, but we
can show the tables to anyone desiring
private information. The matter OF in
forming people on these points usually is
left to commission men. 1t is the plan
observed everywhere.

GET BUSY AT ONCE If We Intend to Cele= brate the Glorious
 Fourth

In past years Williams has had Fourth of July celt brations that were only surpassed by the Terri torial fairs at Phoenix. This reru- tation must be sustained ard if it is, now is the time to begin prepara- tions for the biggest celebration ever.
 The boys have started by or ganizing ball team that by the Fourth of July will be a winner. The band has re organized, which means that Williams will have the best and only organized set of mu- sicians on the Santa Fe between Albuquerque and Needles. With the best race track in Northern Arizona and such race horses as Cloverton, Junnea, Jack Lavin and Sweetheart, which made marks at Phoenix and carried off the laurels; not mentioning others which may be classed with any others in the Territory. we could make up az good racing card as you see in many large cities. We still have our broncho busters and Indians from Supai which is sport worth coming many miles to see. And all this attraction right here at home! What small expense it would be if we started now, so we can advertise to advantage and work gradually up to the Fourth of July. There has always been more or less dissention in previous years, so right here is the year to bury the hatchet We have Flag staff's promise from last year to help Williams celebrate. That means a whole crowd not to he divided up between the two cities The success of the past years are worthy of mention when we con- slider some of the difficulties we have encountered and we know that we can do better if we get an early start and stir up the business men and citizens of the town. There is no reason why Willism ms cannot pull off the largest celebIa- 1 ton ever in 1908.

ATTENTION, SUBCRIBERS

The NEWS, like all other papers published in the United States has been called upon to observe the new postoffice ruling which requires all newspa per publishers to pa, third class postage on papers sent to subscribers who are more than one year in arrears with their sub. scriptions. If we fail to observe the ruling we lose our second class rate privilege. and as the third cla E. rate is prohibitive, we are bound to cut off all subscribers who are more than year in arrears. This will be done next week, and all such accounts not settled by May 1st will be placed in the hands of col lection agents for collection.
 We are 10th to take such dra stic measures, but it must he done. It makes not particle of difference whether 8 subscriber is not good tor the amount, or whether he is good for ten thousand times the amount, the fact that he is in ar rears makes his paper unmaila ble It the second class rate of postage. We cannot afford to discontinue the paper and simply charge the account to profit and lose, there fore a strenuous effort will be made to collect all the accounts due on subscriptions that will be stopped next week.
