vestment is more popular in the west
than here.
The local money market continues
firm. and bank reserves are low. With
in a month, however, funds will be re-
turning more freely from the west. The
bank surplus should soon rise. and
somewhat easier rates of money will
then be probable. The European
monetary situation is improving both
in Paris and London, where the tone
in financial circles is decidedly more
cheerful. The tendency in money there
is towards further ease, which should
make it less necessary for Europe to
settle it's balances in South America
and Canada by shipping gold from New
York. Our foreign trade has not yet
settled back into normal conditions.
Imports continue heavy, and exports,
though increasing, are relatively nght.

while they would receive much more
nourishment and save money by pur-
chasing the cheaper cuts.
"The people in Europe make palat-
able dishes out of meats that an Amer
lean would not buy. We hope to be
able to educate our chefs and our
housewives to make proper use of
these despised meats, and thing that
once the value of them is known they
will be used where the higher priced
meats are now used"
1t is proposed that a special series
of instructions be prepared for the
benefit of the chefs, at which the use
of the cheaper meats in the prepara-
ton of stews, beef a la modes, and
other dishes where the meat is not
seen will be explained and taught.

placed ON the feeder markets in the
bers of the range-bred steers, most of
which come from ranges within Ma
tional forests, topping the feeder mar
kets at all points where feeder steers
are sold.
So great has become the demand
for cattle of the quality mentioned
that hundreds of stockmen through
out the west are selling their buncnes
of stock cattle and are beginning to
handle steers exclusively. On the old
ranges where a few years ago one
was accustomed to see large herds Of
COWS and calves, you will find today
equally large punches made up en-
tirely of steers, some of which may
perhaps have come from Old Mexico,
some from Texas, while Arizona and
New Mexico, usualely furnish their
iuota These steers are brought into
these western ranges at from Is
months to 2-years- old They become
acclimated the first year, while in the
second and third years they become
sufficiently mature so that they may
be taken to market.
The demand for cattle of this kind
is greater than the supply, and as in
all other cases where the demand is
greater than the supply the price re-
ceivd on sale must constantly increase.
That this is true of the steer business
one can easily ascertain through con-
versation with any one of the western
stockton who make this a business.

years in handling steers than they

DENVER, Dec. 14.-It has become
known that the hotel. keepers Of the
west, following their annual meeting
here last week, have decided upon a
plan to use cheaper cuts of meat.
Economy is, of course, the principal
object, but the hotel men defend their
proposed action by the statement that
such meats are really more palatable
and nutritious than the more expen-
sive cuts. Whether guests will look
upon the matter in this light remains
to be found out.
According to a local hotel manager,
one of the hardest and most expensive
problems with which a hotelkeeper
has to contend, is the putting to use or
the cheaper cuts of meat, such as the
shoulder and neck.
"The American public demands only

This is readily explained by trade &C
tivity and high prices over here, which
naturally stimulates imports and dis
courages exports.
There is nothing in the general sit
uation to warrant further pessimism
On the contrary the outlook for the
coming year upon the whole is dis
tinctly cheerful one. There are per-
plexities to be faced and the stock
market. is too high to warrant any
special enthusiasm upon the long side.
Idle funds, however, are accommodating
and must seek employment We sug-
gest the use of much discrimination
in making purchases. calling atten-
ton to the fact that the better class OF
preferred industrials are likely to
come into greater favor, owing to the
high level of railroad shares, and the
difficulty of finding desirable bonds
at reasonable prices.

UNCLE SAM AS
AN AUCTIONEER

WASHINGTON, Dec IA. = Uncle
Sans annual Christmas bargain sale
is the talk of the national capital to-
day, among those to whom the word
bargain has an alluring sound. It's
official title is the Sale of Articles
Accumulated in the Division Of Dead
Letters and it is held annually
about two weeks before Christmas
and continues for a week or more
Day and evening sales are held, and
the bidding is always lively.
Although this unique sale takes
place at the national capital, the pur-
chasers are by no means limited to
persons residing or visiting at the
seat of government The post office
depa rtment issues thousands of cata-
logues of it's novel sacrifice sale, and
these are mailed to all parts of the
United States upon request. So many
out town residents desire to bid
for the articles put up for sale that
there has of late years developed a
distinct field of activity in Washington
for brokers" who act on behalf Of
absent clients in bidding on designated
articles as per the instructions sent
them.
1t is a Woeful commentary on the
proportion of our citizens who evil
IDENTIFY do not know how to take the
first step to trace articles lost in the
mails that this annual postal sale
contains thousands upon thousands
of articles. There are upward of
1000 different lots In a few in
stances a lot" consists of single

much in danger of reaction.
January disbursements will prob
ably show a larger increase than usual
and it remains to be seen whether the
usual rise at this season based upon
investment purchases will take place
in January or not. 1t is we'll known
that several important new capital is
sues have been delayed owing to the
unfavorable conditions just referred to,
and an unusual number of offerings
will probably be soon forthcoming.
Thus far this year it is estimated that
new security issues will aggregate
over a billion and half dollars. A
portion of these issues were utilized
for refunding purposes and did not
represent new capital; but the actual
issues were very heavy considering
the absorbing power of the market. 1t
should be noted that recent authorize
tions have been exceptionally large,
suggesting that considerable applica
lions for new capital are in prospect.
Owing to this custom of securing au-
thorization to issue bonds or stock in
advance Of actual requirements, the
actual output of new securities is not
always easy to ascertain. 1t is known,
however, that some of our large indus
trial concerns have recently quietly
previously authorized. Another feat
IRE worth noting is the large amount
of new capital going into irrigation

prises from six to twelve separate
articles, which are thus grouped be-
cause of similarity of character or for
some other reason. Many Of the I'M
claimed articles are of such small
value, individually, that the thought
might suggest itself that the losers
had not considered it worth while to
trace them, but, on the other hand,
there are hundreds of really valuable
articles, including numbers of dia-
mond rings, gold and silver watches
and other pieces OF jewe'ry.
Then, too, it is genuine bargain
sale Uncle Sam has no reserve
price" and he never bids in an ar
ticle. The articles are sold in regular
order, numerically, as they are listed
in the catalogue and each lot in turn
is knocked down to the highest bid
der without reserve and without re-
gard to how inadequate the price may
be as compared with the real value of
the article.
The terms are strictly cash. Uncle
Sam usually derives gross receipts in
excess of $4,000 from this sale,
which, deducting for the cost of cata-
logues and other expenses, means at
least $4,000 net profit. This is turned
over to the United States treasury
However, if at any time within three
years a person shall prove that any
article disposed of at the sale was his
property when lost in the mails the
government will restore to that in
dividual the sum derived at the sale
from the disposition of his property.
Because OF this responsibility it is

Not over a decade ago eastern buyers

sufficient feed so that he may never

good account of himself and return
many dollars in profits to the feeder
when he is sold for the block in the

These steers shed early under fav-

reached the stockyards they show an
exterior finish that other cattle, lack
ing the same health and ruggedness,

TO AVOID THE
DELAY OF LAW

NEW YORK, Dec 14.-To guard
against "the laws delay and other
Inequalities in trials and appeals is
the object of the recommendations of
a special committee appointed last
March by the New York Bar associa
lion. The report has been completed
and the association will take it up for
consideration today. President Taft
has announced himself as in sympa
thy with the purposes of the aSsocia
ton in reforming civil and criminal
procedure.
The committee makes these recon-
mendations concerning the Code of
Criminal Procedure:
When two or more defendants are
jointly indicted for felony they should
be tried jointly or separately, in the
discretion of the court. Several trials
of joint indictments in felony cases
waste great zeal OF time. Iney now
are often insisted upon to enable a
principal felon to get the prosecutors
evidence in a trial of the joint indict-
meut against his tool, thus enabling
the principal to frame up a defense
or giving him time to intimidate or
caiole the prosecutions witnesses.
Exceptions to rulings upon the ex-
animation of jurors should be abol-
iShed.

the defendant in doing an act is mate

G $4,000 would suffice for the work
and it would take three years to carry
it cut The cultivated area would be
doubled and the yield of wheat trebled
along the Euphrates the day this work
was completed. The project had been
approved by the Turkish government
and the necessary funds had been as
signed for beginning it Immediately
a project was a SO in hand for a great
central canal Of the delta, which would
irrigate 100000 acres of the best
land in Mesopotamia. This land would
be capable of producing 10000 tons
of wheat and 100000 cwt. of cotton
annually, and to get this produce to
market a cheap railway connecting
Baghdad with the Mediterranean was
necessary. The railway would also
be the highway for the merchandise of

Lumber Company Dam Blown Up.

A dynamite blast was exploded
a few nights ago about midway of
the dam of the Licking River
Lumber Company across the river
at Farmers. 1t is not known who
set off the explosive, but in all
probability some individual took
advantage of the strike situation
and did 1t on account of some per-

strikers would be held responsible.
The strikers are still out, but their
places have been taken ON the river
