When 1 was a boy we saw one of them there things 'en people tn jt it was d sign that Gabriel was goin to toot fer reserrection day. We'll now folks wouldn't git scared if the sun went out.

5 higher and active, top $S 40. bulk S3. 10 to $8. 35, weights under 200 pounds, S7 to $8.27J. Dealers believe that prices will be regulal- ed by the Inevitable law of supply and demand. The supply end of this week is more or less definitely known, and if a million persons should stop eating meat it would still have only temporary effect on prices, considering the tremen- dous shortage in the supply.
 Sheep and lambs declined 25 to 40 cents last week, but the market is l5 to 25 cents higher today, year. .lings up to S760, ewes $4.5O to S5. B, wethers $500 to $5.60. Dealers will probably hold the sit uation in the mutton market well in hand, governing the volume of receipts by the urgency of the de- mand, and no further losses in the price are expected now

Henry Cooper who has just re- turned from the south says the win ter has been exceptionally cold with little or no moisture to produce feed. At present the desert is practically bare and poor prospects of rains early enough to prevent heavy losses,
 A pioneer party was given at Ray last week, the men guests wearing 'chaps" and cowboy hats with guns strapped at their hips and the ladies attired in various styles of khaki suits. A special train bringing guests from Kelvin, was held up by cowboys who afterwards danced with their fair victims.
 Sheep men of the Coconino Ma tional Forest have received notice that Supervisor Pooler will meet all who desire to be present. Feb ruary l4th in Phoenix at the Adams hotel, to discuss grazing matters. A meeting uf the advisory board and executive committee of the Arizona Wool Growers Association has been called by President F w. Perkins to meet at Phoenix at the same place to take up matters of general interest
 Owing to lack of feed on the des- ert where many bands have been lambed and sheared heretofore Supervisor Hinderer of the Pres colt forest has agreed to meet with sheepmen on February l4th. The sheepmen in the south are making big losings now and are asking that the southern end of the Verde for est be opened to permit the lamb ing of 20,00O head of ewes. This was permitted in former dry years when the emergency arose and it is expected il will be granted again now.
 President Perkins says that sheep- men are holding off shcaring until they move onto feed north or range conditions improve on the desert.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Jan. 3l. l.-Cattle prices declined rapidly the first half of last week, although receipts were below normal, but there were signs of strength Thurs day and Friday. with positive ad- vances on she stuff. The unsettled trade in meats caused packers to hold their orders down to mini mum last week, thereby discount ing somewhat the effect of the re- duced run, and the general market closed the week with d net loss of l5 to 32 cents. Today the supply is 5000 head, smaller even than on last Monday. and it became the buyers turn to show anxiety Everybody was riding hard as long as the supply lasted and prices to- day were 10 to l5 higher on all kinds. Most dealers believe that the boycott has spent it's force, al though caution ih marketing is still urged as buyers can Use the boycott as a bear argument for awhile yet. which would become more legitimate the larger the run.

PUBLICAN parry and president of the
United States second. He con-
siders govern. nent as a function for
the benefit CT office-holers and not
for the people.
The Taft idea that it is more i'm
portant to retain public offices for
republican ciFice-holders than to
provide good government at risk of
party failure closely affects not only
every man in Office, but every man,
irrespective Of party, who hopes to
obtain office.
The Journal does not believe that
this country has reached such stage
of Imperialism that the people ap-
prove any plan to retain one Iset of
officeholders forever, or contemplate
with equanimity the prospect of a
ruling class as distinguished from
private citizens.-Chicago journal.

its power to the receiver of the bank
to this end.
AS to the charge that the board has
been derelict in its duty, it is only
necessary to refer to the fact that
the Bullfrog Bank & Trust company,
which, on first examination, showed
to be hopelessly inslvent, with
scarcely sufficient assets to pay the
depositors one cent on the dollar, the
board closed its doors, had its bank
examiner, made the trustee for
depositors compelled the directors to
relinquish all their claims on money
they had deposited in the bank, and
besides, put up several thousand
dollars out of their pockets, and with
in 60 days paid the depositors 33 1-3
per cent dividend with an assurance
that they will receive between rs
and 100 cents on the dollar within
the year.
The Bank of Pioneer was closed
and within 80 days, without the
appointment of a receiver, the de-
posi- tors were paid dollar for dollar.
The Bank of Manhattan was forced
by the board to go into voluntary
liquidation and the depositors of
that institution will get dollar for
dollar, as was the. case with Bank of
Mazuma, whose depositors have
already been paid in full. With the
facts in mind, l can sarcely believe
that a fair-minded public will
charge the state banking board with
dereliction of duty"

A new POLITICAL FORCE

The Farmers Union is new
political force which gives promise
of soon becoming a controlling
factor in National. politics. 1t is
claimed that the Union already has
100000 members, and is still grow
ing rapidly throughout the agri-
cultural sections. The following six
reforms are demanded by the
farmers:
l. Abolishing gambling in farm
products.
2. Securing, without delay, a
parcels post.
8. Securing, without delay, postal
savings banks.
A. Securing, without delay more
stringent Legislation along the line
of restricting foreign immigration.
5. Securing the defeat Of the
proposed central bank.
6. More liberality in National ap-
pro priations toward agricultural
projects. The farmer supports
America; he is the hope of America.
This demand is conveyed to each
Senator and Representative per-
sonally and Individually in per-
Sonal letter from President Barrett.
The same letter is broadcasted
throughout the entire domain of the
Farmers Union with the off ciaI
request, which is a direction from
the president, to each individual
member to repeat the same over his
individual signature to the senator
and representative representing him.
1t is likely that each senator and
representative receives several
thousand letters in single week
from his Farmer Union constituents
touching these measures which they
advocate or demand.
The request coming as it does, will
prove most powerful persuasion.
Few congressman can afford to go
on record as opposing such a power
full political force. He must answer
these letters, and if he is opposed to
the demands made, his defeat for
reelection is assured. The life of
the present congressman evidently
is not all roses.

above companies.
Respectfully,
State Banking Board of Nevada,
By D. S. Dickerson,
Chairman.
Mr.. Van Fleet classed the Smith
loans, aggregating S242,294.02, as
doubtful, and realizing that it would
be impossible for the bank to collect
the money in time Of stress, was
very much alarmed over the stu
alton. Mr.. Van Fleet knew and
the board knew that the bank was
in shaky condition, but neither he
nor the board could say, without full
knowledge Of the value of the assets
of the companies whose stock and
notes were pledged to secure loans,
that the bank was insolvent. On
the 18th of October, 1909, the
board was supplied by Mr.. Oscar
J. Smith with list and estimated
value of the assets Of the Eureka
Investment company, which was as
follows:
Total assets Eureka Live
