For the third time the Finance Com
mission has recommended to the Mayor
and City Council of Boston that the city
give up operating its stone crushers and
advises getting its stone in the future by
contract. According to the Finance Com
mission every pound of stone crushed has
cost the city twice as much as if it had
been bought by contract. Investigation
shows that in the past the crushers have
been operated at an annual loss of $780,
900. That has been the experience else
where. Rockland, Maine, needed but one
seasons operation to prove that the pur-
chase of a rock crushing plant was poor
investment for the city, and it has not
been in operation since.

Noting that the inventor of the King
split drag is going to speak at the State
grange We believe that this very useful
implement will be brought more promi-
nel1tlv before our farmers 1t is great
ching for the roads in the country towns
as those who have used it know. 1t costs
but little to manufacture and in many
cases is far preferable to road machine.
A town which does not use one of these
drags is making big mistake. Money
for the highways cannot be put to better
use than in the building of one of these
1rags and its operation. Bath lndepend-
ant.
The Journal some time ago published a
description. Illustrated, of this drag, and
if it has been adopted in any town in
Waldo county we would like to know what
success has attended its use. Can the
town officers, or our correspondents, fur
nish this information? If the drag is all
that is claimed for it it should come into
general use.
The Saturday Evening Post has passed
the million mark in circulation and is still
growing, but we doubt if its recent serials
have added materially to its subscription
list or its many admirers. The stories of
Robert w. Chambers and 1.-The Fashion
able Adventures of Joshua Craig" COM
pletei this week, are not of the class that
won FOR the Saturday Evening Post in
slant recognition and warm appreciation.
They are better suited to the Smart Set
and other magazines that publish silly,
sentimental and often erotic stories. The
stories looked for in the Post are health
full stories of adventure and achievement,
Of which one by Edward Steward White,
The River Man, just published in book
form, is an example. The characters are
red-blooded, strong-brained and strong
lunged; not the feeble creatures of fash
ionable fiction, and the setting of forest
and river is realistic. These are the
stories that appeal to the Posts large
constituency, rather than those dealing
with the follies and foibles Of so-called
fashionable society.

dress Tuesday morning and found
that very necessary portion of his
apparel was missing. Somebody

could be found. Stuffing the articles
out with few pillows he joined in a

trousers. He had about twelve dol

A GOOD FISH STORY.

Worthing, S. D. During the last
high water large pickerel and carp
made their way up drainage canal
in Grant township, this county, with
result that Henry Hanson, a farm
er, lost young calf carried off by a
giant carp. Melvin Sundvold tells
the story as reported by Henry Han
son. The farmer heard a noise among
his cattle one night and rushed out
toward the trouble, which he found
was near the canal. He found num-
Der of calves standing belly deep in
water and noticed one little calf MAX
ing desperate effort TO pull its tail
free from something. The farmer in
his bare legs, was afraid of barb wire
but he waded toward the calf and just
as he caught it a monster carp lashed
the water all over him and for mo-
ment he was blinded. Wiping the
water from his eyes, he found the
calf was being dragged toward deep
water. He made desperate effort
to reach the little animal before it
was pulled into the canal, but he
failed, and the calf struggled until
finally it was drowned. The farmer
released his cattle and drove them to
higher ground TO protect them from
the attacks of the fish. Sioux Falls

Denver Markets.

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS,
MayN-M Market here was dull last
week as it was at all points, and
prices closed 25 to so cents low
er. Today's trade however was
active with 10 to Is cents ad-
vance. The local demand was
very fair all last week but east
ern markets were reported de-
moralized with prices sharply
lower and the result was a dull
trade here. Beef steers sold
mostly at $3.50 to $3.50 with a
few loads early in the week up
to $3.50. Good cows brought
$500 to $3.50 with some choice
heifers at $3.50 and medium to
fair cows at So. so to $500. The
demand for cows was strong to-
day and some choice ones from
F't. Morgan brought $4.75. Bulls
brought $3.50 to $500 and veal
calves sold at $500 to $500, the
latter considerably lower than
week ago. Feeder and stocker
trade was light as both demand
and supply was light. The good
steers moved very well but COM
mon rough stuff was slow, as
buyers here were not taking hold
very readily owing to demoral-
lied markets east.
Receipts today were about
6, 900, 600 head of which the ma
jor portion were southerns going
through to Western Colorado and
northern ranges. Some trading
in southerns was done here dur
ing the week and buyers from
this and other western states are
coming more and more to depend
on the Denver market to furnish
them their southern cattle. Both
buyer and seller find this a con-
venient point at which to trade
and much of this southern busi-
ness is commencing to center at
this point. Facilities for brand
ing and dipping here are first
class and stockmen find that
they can have this done here to
better advantage than at destina-
ton of the cattle, which is also
an inducement for them to come
here.

that this expensive publication
easily leads the list of the worst

also, that the average country
newspaper editor, through the
misdirected good intentions of

finally a dray is hired and the
