Shippers and packers are doing the
leading these days in buying. The ex-
porters are cautious buyers. They pay
the advance reluctantly, claiming that
the late big jumps in prices have re-
suited in heavy losses owing to the
failure of the British market to go
higher accordingly
1t is to be noted that the unusual
rise in prices paid for cattle recently,
is confined chiefly to the good to choice
beeves. Cattle selling al s6.25 and be-
low show hardly more than go soc

PEELED TO buy literally on account or
the tendency of shippers to take
everything offered. They were short of
fresh meats yesterday and brisk demand

result was the highest market in q

of this week total only $500, against

is Indicative of wave of bullish en-

Oregon has elected all her officers

Senator La Toilette, of Wisconsin,

He has made this law what it is to-

For some time past, forest fires

government has provided for future
generations by setting aside large
areas for forest reserves. These are
pretty well distributed throughout
all the wooded states; not only does
it guarantee timber in time to come
but also the water supply, the value
of which is recognized by all west
erners.
These events will go to show in
/ the future years that the United
States was ruled by men who know
that keeping out of European affairs
would keep peace on the western
hemisphere.

So in 1902, those witty Frenchmen
