these farmers and other producers
realize that they are losing a consid.
cradle percentage of their profits in
this way, but they are afraid to ship
to the marts of commerce because they
are not familiar with the reliable, sub
stantial buyers and commission
houses, and to such only must they
look for square deal and correct
return on each shipment. The pub
fishers of The Ranch have every ia
cility for reaching correct conclusions
in this matter, we are in position to
secure authentic and pertinent infor-
nation concerning any operator or
operations in the principal markets,
we are prepared to guarantee our
conclusions, our judgment and our adj
vice, and we now offer our services
free to all readers of The Ranch who
are producers or shippers.
Our chief hope of regard for this
service depends upon it's success. If
that is gained we shall have won
confidence and intimate relationship
with all of our readers the like of
which no amount of money, no volume
of talk and persuasion shall ever wrest
from us.

made for the transportation of those
desiring to go, from the end Of the
carline to the farm. Speaking of the
easiest way to get to the farm, Will
liam E. Kramer, the auctioneer in
charge of the sale, said recently:
''Those who desire to attend should
take the South Seattle car at the
corner of Second avenue and Yesler,
Seattle, and go directly to the end of
the line, where they will be met by
automobiles, of which we have en-
gagged number, and taken directly
to the farm. We have rented at
price of five dollars an hour several
of the largest automobiles in Seattle
with seating capacities of eight
people each and we will meet every
car with these, and see that no one is
delayed in getting to the farm, i'm

which Mr. Hamm has in his stables
will be sold on that day, August 9Th,

be sold on novel plan. Small cash
payments will be taken down, and the

ments, the farmers or purchasers
notes being taken to secure us.
predict the sale will be a great sue
cess from the large amount of inter-
est which has thus far been mani
tested. The fact that we are offer
ing these horses on terms, will attract
many farmers who will thus have an
opportunity to secure blooded stock
without a great outlay of cash, and
will be able to pay the balance out OF
the profits that they will secure from
breeding during the several years fol
lowing. 1t is an opportunity that is not
often offered, and we expect that there
will be many who will be eager to take
the advantage of it"
1t is the opinion of The Ranch that
this will be a sale well worth attend
ing for those who are interested in
or desire to purchase fine horses.

Thousands of dollars are lost an

Northwest on account of their not be-
ing properly in touch with the central

their produce to small local buyers
without considering the condition of
the larger markets, without soliciting
an offer from the large and final buy
ers. Thus much of the profit of their
labor and capital is lost. Most of

For the benefit of those who did not

method will be successful and is bound
to be satisfactory so long as we are
vigilant and thorough.
Don't wait till tomorrow if you de-
sire to reach the market, or even
merely to investigate 1t in contem-

BRANDS STORY AS A LIE.
shercliffe Say. Mrs. Woerz Could
Have Learned Nothing Of His Wife.

| Shercliffe Says Mrs. Woerz Could
Have Learned Nothing Of His Wife.
Minneapolis, Dec. 4.-Frank Sher-
cMffe, held in the county Jail on the
charge of train robbery, refuses to be-
lieve that the information which led
to his arrest in Knoxville. Tenn, was
given the police by Mrs. Charles
Woerz of Des Moines, q friend of his
wife. Thru her attorney Mrs. Woerz
has claimeaat6e reward for shercliffe's
arrest, andS FOR the arrest of Owen
! Ball, who made confession involving
Shercliffe in the hold-up of passengers
on Northern Pacific train in Minne-
apolis.
Mrs. Charles Woerz is the proprietor
of a boarding house in Des. Moines,
and Mrs. Sherman Morris, Sher-
cliffe's wife, was employed by her. Ac-
cording to dispatches from Des
Moines, Mrs Woerz worked upon the
young wife, under the guise of friend
ship, until she secured her confidence.
Then, as day by day Mrs. Morris con-
fided her secrets to the boarding house
woman, the latter informed the de-
tectives of events. Edward j. Helm
of Minneapolis a detective employed
by the st. Louis road, and Chlel OF
Police johnson Of Des Moines were
the men who worked with Mrs Woerz,
according to the story from Des
Moines
When Shercliffe was questioned con-
corning Mrs. Woerz' connection with
the case, he branded the story from
Dies Moines as lie.
''Mrs. Woerz is my wife's best
friend all right, but the story is
false" he said my wife herself
didn't know that 1 was in Des Moines
in October last, so she couldn't have
told Mrs. Woerz"
Shercliffe also said he had never
been in Cincinnati Ohio. According
to the Des MoInes story, Mrs. Woerz
told the police Shercliffe was in Des
Moines before he went to Knoxville.
Mrs. Sherman Morris visits her hus-
band every day in the county Jail.
She always brings one of her two
children with her.
