of Tuesday.

Chicago, Sept. 2e.-steers were in
active demand for the first time since
the market began its recent downward
trend, and prices are 10000 cents high
err The fact that receipts fell below
expectation was largely responsible for
choice natives strong, but good sorts
were also higher, and in fact the best
gains were made on steers of good
quality Western steers of good quail
ity were strong, while the bulk was
steady. A string of native steers
brought $3.50.
Two days marketings this week to-
tailed 36,400, the actual arrivals Monday
having been 2S.365, running consider
ably above estimates, Supply has fall
en- short $500 from week ago, but
still shows $500 increase over year
ago. OF the two days run there have
been $4,000 western rangers. against
10000 week ago and year ago.
Barring strictly choice native steers
the buying favor goes to the westerns
just now, and conditions are not likely
to be materially changed, in the opln-
! ion of traders. until there is let-uI
! in the runs of rangers. Quality of west
ems is rather good and they are killing
out cheaper beef than the natives
which sell considerably above them
Hence packers are favoring the west.
| ems against the S5.o0@650 natives
and even the native steers of value
ranging up to $500 are feeling the eff
fects of range cattle competition.
| Beef coolers are being filled with thu
( western beef for surplus stocks, and al.
tho there is still moderate shipping
demand for the natives, it is the bes
kinds of the latter which are chief,
wanted by the shippers, and thus there
! is not much trade stimulus in the east
ern buying.

genial talk is ordinarily better fitted

TITLE TO LANDS cLouDED.
Michigan Finds Its Forest Reserve
Was Sold at Tax Sale.

Lansing, Mich, Sept. 29.-After $780,
600 has been expended in establishing
and maintaining state reforestation
reserve in Crawford and Boscommon
counties, it has been discovered that
thru failure of the defunct forestry
commission to record deeds, the state
has weak title to part of the re-
serve. The public domain commission
faces the task of settling with tax title
spectators to produce a clear title to
the property. When the state tax lands
were taken to form the reserve and
the deeds were not recorded. taxes con-
tinued to be assessed against the
property. TIE taxes were reported IN
paid and tax titles were bought by
various persons.

rHE origin Of the paragraph in the
! last sundry civil bill, restricting
the activities of the secret service.
which provoked the hot denunciation
Of the president, is decidedly interest
ing. While subcommittee was fra
ming the sundry civil bill it was
brought to the attention of the mem
bers that secret service man had
been assigned to keep watch over the
conduct of certain naval officer. The
application for the detail was made to
the navy department by the wife of
the officer, who was not entirely salts
fed as to the faithfulness of her
spouse. The officer was not even OIL
duty at the time, but was away on
leave Of absence.
1t occurred to members of the ap-
propriations committee that this was
the limit OF governmental espionage
and that the time had come to call a
halt. President Roosevelt, of course,
had a secret service sIeuth detailed
for such purpose and when the sub
committee wrote and inserted pro-

In the presidents message of the ac-

fact that the secret service has
reached greater extensions than ever
before there can be no doubt.
This extension has been brought
about by the executive branch of the
