The congressional contests held

tale.
The staff which every patient
about to undergo blood-letting
was given to hold in his or her
hand during the proceedings was
frequently, when not in use,
placed outside the door, and soon
became the recognized sign of the
self-constituted phlebotomist's
profession. Now two long band
ages were used in the operation,
one twisted around the arm be-
fore bleeding and the other used
to bind afterward; these would
often be kept wound around the

To Select Delegates to

July 2, 1910.
At a meeting called by the
chairman of the Republican
party of Wheeler County for
the purpose of sending delegates
to the state Assembly to be held
at Portland on July, q, 1910 it
was decided to postpone the
selection of delegates until Sat-
urday July,9. The meeting was
a decided failure as cnly one
committeeman was present with
two proxies, and he being the
county chairman. In the mean
time the chairman will issue an
extraordinary call to all the
committeeman in which he will
request that they ali be present
at this important meeting.
The poor showing that was
made at this place today indie
ates how much interest is shown
in the assembly in this county.
Wheeler County has 13 precincts
and under the assembly plan
should have been represented
by 13 committeeman and when
only one appeared and he the
party that called the meeting it
was the consensus of opinion
that it was looked upon with
much disfavor by the people
throughout the county.

ASSEMBLY LOOKED UPON AS JOKE IN WHEELER CO. ALSO

Receipts at the Portland Union
Stock Yards for the month of
June were; cattle 10501, hogs
6857, sheep 22O33, horses and
mules 213. The total number
of cars was 584. Thisi is an in
crease of 3149 cattle, a decrease
of 5000 hogs. an increase of 1880
sheep, an increase Of 81 horses
and mules and an increase of SO
cars over last month.
The market for cattle of top
quality has remained unchanged
throughout the month while the
inferior classes have declined.
The demand for warmed up
steers has not been strong while
the call for light weight steers
of good quality and for cows,
heifers and calves has not been
answered by the shippers.
The shortage in hog receipts
as compared with May is due to
the fact that there were fewer
Missouri River hogs shipped in.
AS compared with last year htg
receipts from local territory
show an inciea of 1925 head.
There were 3049 more cattle
than there were last month and
1884 more cattle than in June
1909.
The market has been over
supplied with a poor quality
sheep in consideration of which
prices have held up surprisingly
we'll. Good quality stuff brought
prices that were equal to the
May market. AS compared with
last months sheep receipts in
creased 1880, as compared with
June, 1909, there was an increase
of 2614 head.
The receipts at this market
for six months as compared with
the first half of last year show
an increase of 1925 cattle, 14347
hogs, 1884 sheep or 1893 cars.
The value of the live stock re-
ceipts for the six months ending
June S0th, 1910, approximates
81, 500, 600. 90.
The establishment of this mar
ket has meant much for the live

PINE RIDGE TEAM WINS PURSE
Parade ls Best Ever Seen Here
All Attractions Attended BY
Large Crowds

The free celebration which
was held in this city last Satur-
day Sunday and Monday proved.
in spite of many predictions to
the contrary. to be the most
successful event of the kind
ever held in this city or this
section of the state. The street
parade on Saturday morning
was especially noteworthy many
Of the floats being equal to those
seen in large cities, The float
put out by VIM. Dunlap won
first prize. Mrs. w. 0. Echols
and Miss Belle Lingo divided
honors and the prize for the best
lady horseback riders. The
first ball game Of the celebration
was played on Saturday after
noon between Pine Ridge and
0lex. the former team winning
by a score of 13 to9. The game
was loosely played. many errors
being made by both teams and
good plays were few and far a.
part. The lack of ginger, COM
bined with poor playing caused
a lack Of interest with the fans
and many left the grandstand
before the game was half over.
The score was close up to the
fifth inning but after that it was
a clean walk-away for the Pine
Ridgers. The batteries were.
for Pine Ridge Frank Hollen
and Kaesmyer, for Olex, E.
Ashenfelter and Keeney.
The second game on Sunday
afternoon between Olex and the
local Athletic Club team was a
repetition of the first game as
far as an exhibition of good ball
was concerned, the Club taking
the game by a score of ID to 8.
There were features in every
inning but they were mostly of
fhe error kind and the crowd a.
gain lost interest, many of them
leaving before the game was
finished. Olex had a new twirl-
er, Weaver, and he suffered the
bumps as did the twirler Of the
first day. The team showed a
lack of team work and were
weak with the stick. While the
Club team did not play their
usual game, their work was far
ahead of the visitors. The los
ing of this game deprived the
Olex team of a chance at the
purse on Monday. The batteries
were; for Olex, Weaver and
Keeney and for the Club team,
Welshons, Hartshorn and Fitz-
maarice.
The free musical entertain
ment and moving picture show
which was held on the street
Sunday evening was highly APP
preciated by the large crowd
present.
On Monday forenoon a few of
the business houses of the city
took part in a plug-ugly parade
after which the exercises of the
day were held in the rink. Sew
eral musical selections were
rendered and the Declaration of
Independence read by Mrs.
