. Advices from Denver are that ce-
ment sidewalks are costing nine cents
per square foot there. The freight Oh
the cement to Durango ought not to
increase the cost over 25 per cent here.
OF course this means that the work

ion, not lot, but block at n time and
several blocks. 1t is more than proba-
BILE that should our people decide to

Friday. August 20. 1909.

EVERY little while the wall is re-
peated that American ships could
engage in the ocean-carrying busi-
ness If only they were subsidized
by the government. The confess
ION that this business cannot pros
per unless Uncle Sam helps to pay
the freight would be bad enough
under any circumstances. but when
we remember that the greatest
freight. carrying traffic in the world
is done by American vessels owned
by American capital and built in
American shipyards, without ask
ing for a cent from anybody ex-
cept such as comes in through the
regular channels of business, the
subsidy plea becomes almost nom
sensical. The traffic referred to is
that which is carried on the waters
of the Great Lakes during the
six months when navigation is
open. Seven times as much freight
goes through the Sault Ste. Marie
Canal in six months as the whole
world sends through the Suez
Canal in a year. And this trade
not only makes money for those en-
gagged in it, but it effects a great
saving to shippers, and, of course,
through them to the consumers
generally. because of the low
freight rates. The saving in the
course of years business will
amount to something like $500, 900. :
900, which works out at nearly

Live Stock Market.

Denver Union Stock Yards, August
16.-The receipts of cattle were very
fair last week and demand good. Pri-
ces were 10 to Is cents higher on Mon
day owing to light supply, but later in
the week there was some decline, steers
losing about all they had gained and
cows about dime more. Some good
North Park steers sold on Monday at
S5.65 and Wyomings brought $3.50, but
it took good ones at the close to get
above 1925 with fair killers ranging
from this down to $4.35. Corn fed
steers were strong all week, a bunch of
fancy Kansas stuff selling ct $7.25 the
highest price of the year outside of
show stuff. Fancy cows from North
Park sold at $3.50 on Monday and
Wyomings brought $4 20 but not many
later in the week got above S4OO with
bulk of pretty decent killers at $3.35 to
So. .85 and medium grades at $2.75 to
S3.25. Bulls sold about steady at 1925
to 1915. Veals also went at steady
prices, best selling at % 20. Feeder
and stocker supply light. Demand
very fair. Prices rule about the same
on good steers but weak on Others. TO
days receipts 800 head. Eastern
markets heavily supplied aud lower,
the result being drop of 10 to Is cents
here.
Hog demand was strong all week
and the market in nice shape, with
prices paid here relatively higher than
same class of stuff at the river. Good
hogs today sold at $3.50 to $7.70.
Sheep trade was active during the
week and prices closed fully steady.
Good lambs brought 81 .25. ewes sold at
$4.35, and wethers at s4.6O with year
lings quoted up to $500 and possibly a
little higher. Demand was good and

He was in the field irrigating when the
shower passed over and an electric
bolt struck him tearing and setting fire
to his clothing. He was rendered un-

ditch, near which he was working, ex-
tinguishing the fire. His dog, which
was with him at the time of the acci-
dent, ran to the house barking and
then back toward the field. Its sstrange
actions aroused Mrs. Stobie's curiosity
and she followed it to the field where
found her husband In semi-conscious
