WON'T CHANGE TEXAS LINE.
Governor Threatens Santa Fe With
Special Legislation.

Austin. Tex. July 2--Governor
Campbell threatens to call a special
session of the legislature for the pur-
pose Of having a law passed prohibit
ing trunk lines of railway from paral-
Icing small independent lines, and also
requiring that established towns shall
not be omitted from the routes of such
roads. This proposed action on the
part of the governor grows out of the
complaints Of the owners Of short in
dependent lines in western Texas and
of the people of towns in that section
over the route selected by the Santa
Fe by it's 31O-nile cutoff which is now
being built to connect Texico, on the
tranScontinentaI line, with Coleman on
the gulf division Of the system.
Governor Campbell has been CORE
spending with President E. P. Ripley
in an endeavor to have the route
changed so as to pass through certain
towns that are clamoring for the new
road and also to prevent the parallel
ing of two short lines. Mr.. Ripley has
refused to make any change in the
route originally selected. and the gov
ernor Is very much disturbed about it.

Der business; and as a pioneer in the

Senator Stephenson is a candidate

lature which will meet Jan. Is. He had

majority. After the primary his oppon-
cnts attacked him on the ground that
he had strewn money over the state

the fight against him has been dropped.
SO confident is Senator Stephenson
of reelection that he will not go out
to Wisconsin to attend the early ses-
sons of the legislature; confidence
which few senators ever manifest. They
commonly like to be handy when their
legislatures meet.
Having made some s25,GO0ONo in
lumber, Senator Stephenson Is for re-
moval of the lumber tariff; an atti-
tude on his part which has immensely
dispeased the lumber interests which
are fighting to retain it. The veteran
lunberman thinks he knows something
about the question:; he is sure free
lumber would be good for the American
forests and for the, people who use
lumber; and it is expected that when
the making of the lumber, pulp and
pulp wood schedules comes before con-

Due to Normal Receipts and
Poor Demand, Except For
Butchers
ADVANCE IN HOG MARKET
Prices Five to Ten Higher, Due to Ac-
tive Demand From Shippers and
Spectators - Packers Slow to Take
Hold Sheep Strong and Lambs
Rule Shade Lower.

Chicago, Jan. S-Cattle--Normal re-
ceipts, and poor demand, except fol
butchers, by outsiders, resulted in 8
slow market, with but little change in
prices at the close.
The shortage in good butcher stuff is
causing a better inquiry for the light
cheap steers just at the present time
and buyers explain this condition on
the ground that the public is steering
away from expensive beef Under the
circumstances the demand has been
fully as good as could be expected an ]
the light and medium cattle are as high
as they have been at any time recent
ly. The choice and fairly good heavy
cattle have not advanced as rapidly a,s
the lower grades.
Hogs.
Active demand from shippers and
SPECTATORS, brought about an advance
of solo cents. Packers We're slow in
buying at higher figures.
On every light run of hogs scram-
BILE to buy product is noticeable in the
pit. Some are investing for long pull
while others merely get in on the
light hog runs to take profits when
receipts increase and prices react, a
method of scalping very tempting to
the average trader. Present indications
for repetition of last years January
run do not look good and the 7-cent
hog is already being touted indus
triously.
Sheep.
Sheep We're strong, on excellent de-
mand. Lambs We're steady to a shade
lower.
Arrivals this week so far are over
10000 and while shipping demand las
been eliminated the market has given
a good account of itself. Feeder trade
is practically dead. not because de-
mand is lacking. but for the reason
that killers are taking everything.
