year to the loggers by the increased
facilities for caring for the products
Good roads are one of the best ad-
vertisements any country can have,
said Mr.. Hunt. Thousands of dollars
are saved each year to the farmer by
good roads, and visitors to a locality
where Improvements have been made,
invariably speak well of that place.
When we have friends here visiting, we
do not care to take them far into the
country, on account of the dust"
In speaking on how to secure good
roads, Mr. Hunt dwelt upon the ex-
cellent quarries available in Walla
Walla county, the convict labor that
might be secured from the state penl-
tertiary, and of methods that might be
employed in hauling rock from the
quarries. He was of the opinion that
traction engines were practicable in
the transfer of material. He argued for
a good foundation of big rocks rounded
off well on top, and cited Palouse street

TIIEsREPUBIICAN, MARsHALLTOwf, IOWA,
stoekyard Notes.

Very few eve lambs are being mar
keted. There has been decided ex-
pansion of hog supply this week.
Western cattle are expected to move
more freely from now on.
Peering into the future, the cattle
feeder can not discern any signs of
bad breakers ahead
The country still continues a quiet
buyer in feeding cattle trade. Possibly,
however, the absence of keen demand
is due to the fact that it couldn't be ac-
commodated if it were here.
In hog trade the only reason that
prices remain high is the very staple
one of demand equaling the supply.
The five principal western markets
had around $4,000 hogs yesterday,
against $4,000 last week and $4,000 a
year ago. The two-day run at these
points is approximately, 100000,
against 10000 last week and $4,000 a
year ago. 1t was thought the break of
Monday and Tuesday would check the
rum as the country is disposed to ship
on bulges.
Horse buyers are taking fat 100
pound chunks at 5000 $780, but plain
work horses. especially il thin, are not
wanted, such stock selling slowly. I'M
provement in demand is anticipated
with the advent of fall orders and until
then a quiet market is expected.
Grant Martin of Patterson, was here
Monday with two cars of cattle and
found the Chicago cattle market fully
as good as he expected. He reports
both cattle and hogs unusually scarce
in his locality.
j. H. Piatt has returned from a few
days trip thru eastern Iowa, where he
says the prospects point to the great
est corn crop ever raised in that Sec
ton. There has been plenty OF moist
ure for corn and the big acreage as
sures an enormous yield. Oats have
run forty to sixty bushels to the acre
and the general average yield is about
fifty bushels. Cattle are not going on
feed In liberal numbers at this time,
mainly because the pastures are short.
Joe Koran, sheep buyer for Armour
&C.,, just returned from Kansas City
| said: Supplies at that market are
limited to small arrivals of sheep and
yearlings from Utah and light ship
ments OF lambs from Arizona. Heavy
receipts of Utah lambs are expected
after Sept. 1. and from what can learn
there is going 10 be an exceptionally
good crop OF prime fat western lambs
marketed from Utah this year"
