Kansas City Market Report.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Nov.
9, 1909.
Signs of the approach of the
end of the fall run of grass cattle
are more apparent this week
than heretofore, as the total cat
tie supply for the two days is
several thousand head less than
corresponding days in previous
weeks. The supply today is
10000 head, market steady to
strong. followiog the good mar
ket yesterday, when beef steers
and stockers sold Is to 25 higher,
COWS strong and calves quarter
higher Grass cattle from the
range country are coming freely,
but grass cattle from native ter
ritory are scarce, accounting for
the reduction in the receipts.
Short fed cattle are appearing in
increasing numbers, but do not
by any means make up for the
smaller number of grass cattle
from native territory now com
ing. The range country will
continue to make liberal ship
ments for some time, unless the
movement interferred with by
storms, in which event, ship
ments would be stopped for the
season. The market is in fine
shape this week, demand good
from all sources, the feature of
the market being the call from
Kansas and Missouri for stock
steers. Prime fed grades are
scarce, and few cattle sell above
500, although different lots
brought from 81. 20 to So. 25 here
today. Good heavy fed steers
below the choice to prime class
sell at 5000 to 1925, medium to
light short fed steees $500 to
$5.75, cows So 25 to $3.50, heifers
up to 1913, bulls S2.75 to $3.50,
calves S3.75 to $6.75, stockers
So. .25 to $4.75, feeders $500 to
$5.25.
Hogs are higher this week,
higher today than yes
terday, top S7.95, bulk of sales
S7.55 to $3.50. Weights above
200 pounds sell at $40 and up
wards, and light hogs at 81. As to
4NONCllDSI ID ShO ing oil
immense shortage in hogs at the
leading markets, probably part
ly because feeders are convinced
that prices will stay up, and feel
that the most money will be
made in producing fairly good
weight hogs, rather than to be
in hurry to market their shoats
There is a good profit in feeding
hogs on the present basis, and
unless consumers quit eating
pork and products account of the
high prices, the market will like
ly stay up indefinitely.
Sheep and lambs are Is to 25
higher yesterday and today, and
new top prices were made this
week on lambs at S735, light
yearlings at S6.33, and heavy
yearlings S5.75. Fed wethers
sold at $500 last week, and ma
tive ewes are quotable up to 81 rs.
The local market is not getting
enough mutton grades to satisfy
the demands of the packers, and
country buyers stand ready to
quickly absorb everything in
their class that arrives. Feed
ing lambs bring S6.10 to S6.40,
feeding wethers and yearlings
81. .25 to S4.75, breeding ewes
S4. 25 to S5.25.

The real issue is, Do we want
the present conditions to con-
tinue? for the present conditions
are the fruits of protection-or
do we want free trade and bust

questions that the voters of Kan

burning question, Will the peo-
pie sacrifice the policy of pro-
lection, under which the farmer
and the wage Garner and the
business man have prospered
during the past ten years, and
turn the country over to these
malcontents calling themselves
Republicans, but who speak for
the doctrine of Bryan and free
trade, and receive their applause
from the Democrats.
The people of Kansas have al
ways, as history proves, been
erratic. While they have been
the champions of some of the
most beneficial reforms in the
history of the state, yet at times
they have been lured by the
voice of the demagogue to give
to their verdict at the polls in
ed reforms that have lowered the
measure of the public's esteem
and made our state the subject
of ridicule.
The present wall of complaint
and TRADE of abuse that is being
heaped on the ADMINISTRATION and
representatives of the people in
congress by this band of malcon-
tents, who are exploiting the
state for their own personal ad-
vantage and self aggrandizement,
is without reason and has no
foundation upon which it can
stand before an intelligent peo-
pie. Kansas and the middle
VESTS now being buncoed, and
in the end the farmer, who is
marketing his dollar wheat and
seven cent beef and pork, will be
called upon to pay the bill.
The issue of CannOniSm is a
fake. 1t is only made to arouse

To Pupils, Teachers and Others:
To stimulate investigation of
local history. and to encourage
the collection and preservation of
data, 1 offer 80 small prizes for
township historical maps in the
several counties of the 23d judic-
ial district. to be made by pupils
of common and high schools.
In each of the counties of Rus
sell, Ellis. Trego, Cove, Logan
and Wallace, there are offered
five prizes of 800, $500 and
$1.OO, and consolation prizes of
so and % cents, respectively,
for the best historical maps of
any congressional township in
such county.
Every map must be made by
the student, who submits it, but
no restriction is placed on con-
teStants as to receiving aid in
the matter of collection of data
to be shown on the map or in ex-
planation thereof.
The maps will be graded by a
committee to be appointed by
the Kansas State Normal School,
Western Branch, at Hays, Kans.
the first requisite of each map
will be historical fulness, thor
.oughness and accuracy, includ-
ing geographical and topograph-
ical details. Next come skill in
map drawing, and neatness.
II ho h. Tor
to the examining committee on
or before May 1, 1910. and there
upon shall become the property
of the Kansas State Historical
Society, to be permanently kept
at Topeka.
It is hoped that other prizes
may be offered by those interest
ed locally or otherwise, but in
such case the prizes herein offer
ed will be so conferred that two
prizes may not be given for any
one map.
If two or more maps are prac-
tically alike, the committee may
refuse to give more than one
prize.
Any contestant may submit
maps of more than one township,
if he desire, or may submit sew
eral of the same township, but
the same person shall not receive
more than one prize for maps of
the same township. If in any
county less than six maps are en-
tered in contest, no prize will be
given
All maps shall be drawn on pa
per. or cardboard, about fourteen
inches square, on which the con-
gressional township shall be
marked one foot square. and sub
divided into sections and quart
er-sections, (and preferably into
forties also.) Printed township
plats may be used, such as are
made by Crane, Hall, Dodsworth
and other houses, and such as
are furnished by the State His
torical Society, or as are kept in
many public county Offices
Work may be done with ink or
pencil, in black or colors, but
other things being equal, that
map will be best which is most
