MARKET, STOCK
 AND RANGES

Kansas City Stock Yards, Dec. 5, 191O.-One of the biggest supplies of western cattle of the season came in last week, and the market was satisfactory all around on that class of cattle, 15 to 25 higher Cows and heifers are selling at the highest prices of the fall season, and stOckers and feeders are quick y taken at stiff prices. Killers neglect the high priced native fed Ca tile for the westerns as long as the latter last. The total run today IS IT, GOO cattle here, and the pOrpor- tiop from the range country is only one fourth as heavy to-day as d week ago, market strong to q little higher on westerns today. The only kind of ca tile that sell slowly now is thegood to choice heavy weight ted steers. which buyers neglect when they can fill orders with cheaper cattle. Some Colorado COWS sold at $4. 20 TO- day, New Mexico cows up to $4. 50, western heifers $4 50, beef steers $4.7O to $5 co, stockers and feeders $4 25 to $5. 20, veal calves SC 80 to $S %, stock calves $4.25 to $5.25. Country buyers are aware that few native cattle are available to go into feed lots, and they are buying the range cattle at atstrong prices, knowing that the close of the season for westerns is near at hand. Bulls bring surprising pri ces, $3 50 to SAYS.
 Sheep and lambs held up firm last week till Thursday, but tine close of the week was 15 to 25 lower than best time, on both sheep and lambs. The run IS Ill., OOO-to-day, market steady to q shade lower; best lambs today at $6 80, as compared with $6.5O on two different days last week Light weight yeaflings are worth up to $5.6O, heavy yearlings around $5 %, wcthers S4 25, ewes $3 60 Three fourth of the supply today is led stock, mostly from native territory, oue-fourth direct from the west ern ranges. Country buyers are more confident than a short time ago, feeding lambs at $5 lately, though quality was not very good.

Development Through Fairgrounds.

OcVeIoPmcnt lnrou9n PIayqroundS.
 A thorough study of the unusual opportunities for the moral and phy- sical development of the children on our city playgrounds will quickly re- veal the broad scope possible in this work. A well-supervised playground means a decrease in petty crimes, ju- venile delinquency, etc. and also does away with boyish fights, quarreling and disputes regarding the games played, the whole tendency being for better and higher. Teachers in the public schools also attest that play ground frequenters make the most wide-awake pupils; parents testify to its making children better behaved and more satisfied in home life; res idents in the neigh5orhood are also loud in their praise of its healthful influence.

new element in the Philadelphia car

nave failed to do. This element is the
effect the car strike has had on the
values of the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company's securities.
The traction stock closed yesterday
at 10 Is 1t has declined seven points
since the strike began. Stockholders
of the company have become alarmed
and over $4,000 shares were dumped
upon the market yesterday.
The directors have manifested no
uneasiness, but it is acknowledged
by fnanciers that the transit stocks,
which have been listed among the
leading securities of the market, that
continued weakness would be fatal to
the company.

Commercial interests today contin-
ued their efforts to find a way to set
tie the strike. A meeting was sched-
uled for this afternoon to discuss the
situation, which, it is admitted, is
growing worse daily.
Frequent rioting has kept the city
in a state of dread that fatal clashes
between rioters and the police may
occur at any time. This fear is in.
creased by the brutality of the police
in checking disorder.
The strike leaders today announced
that $4,000 union men have left
their work in order to join the gen
eral sympathetic strike. This is de-
MED by the authorities, who declare
that many of the strikers who did
leave their employers have returned
to work.

ROSEBURG
LAND CASE
DISMISSED

Judge Burnett today entered an
order dismissing the case of Geo. II.
Chauncey against H. Wollenberg,
and about 800 other defendants,
better known as the famous Rose
burg case and which has attracted
considerable attention owing to the
fact that it involved the title to
about half of the town of Roseburg.
The case was brought in Douglas
county but was transferred to this
county and Judge Burnett was asked
to render a decision in the case be-
cause the judge of the circuit court
of Douglas county was an interested
party. The evidence in the case
went back to the early fifties, when
Aaron Rose took up a donation
claim where the site of Roseburg
now stands. When the town of
Roseburg came into existence he had
the place plated into town lots and
sold it and when his wife died.
that his second wife-he sought to
buy up all the interests of the heirs
and was successful except as to two
of them. Rose died in 1899 and af-
ter the estate had been administered
upon, Chauncey, who claimed to be
one of the missing heirs, appeared
upon the scene and in behalf of him
self and another heir, commenced
an action for two-thirty-fifths of the
estate. Judge Burnett after care
full investigation of the evidence,
dismissed the case. Whether an ap-
peal be taken to the supreme court
could not today be learned, but 1t is
stated that one will probably be
filed.

Washington, March 11.-Chief En-
gineer A. p. Davis, of the reclama-
tion service, testifying at the order Of
the Ballinger-P Pinchot investigating
committee, took the stand today.
Davis was 10th to become a witness
and said he would not testify unless
the committee ordered him to do So
He was directed to take the stand.
Davis testified that former Secre-
tary Garfelds plan for withdrawing
land, examining it and restoring 1t

er sites, was better than that which
Ballinger followed when he became
secretary.
Davis told of a conversation he had
ith BRllinger in which Ballinger de-
nounced the Withdrawals as illegal
but said that he wanted the restora-
tion made slowly, SO as to avoid att
tracing public attention.
Davis denied that the reclamation
service initiated the plan Of restor-
ing water power lands, saying that he
understood that It was mandatory
order from Ballinger.
This statement was directly at va
rance with one made in President
Taft's letter of September 13 to Bal
linger, in which the president exon
Grated Ballinger from the charges
made by Louis r. CLAWS Ballinger's
subordinate at Seattle.

by Attorney General A. M. Crawford
and the fish company was represent
ed by the law firm of Smith, Logan
& Brownell Of Portland.
Authority of Board Questioned.
The case was brought in the first
instance in the circuit court of Multi
nomah county at Portland by the
company for the purpose of restrain
ing the boardl by injunction from
the closing of the above named
streams. An act was passed by the
last legislature providing for the
closing of the Columbia river from
March 1 to May 1, but Inadvertently
a clause providing for the closing
of the Clackamas and Willamette
was omitted.
1t became apparent to the fish
commission that unless these
streams were closed that the fisher
men on the Washington side of the
Columbia would cease to obey the
law passed by the Washington legis-
lature providing for the closing of
the Columbia and under the author
ity of a law passed several years
ago the board took it upon itself to
close the streams. This action has
met with protest by some of the
fishermen and an application for an
injunction was made before Judge
Morrow of Portland, but denied, and
the present appeal taken.

ARE IN PERFECT HEALTH
Looked Like a Prize Fighter When
He Encountered the Party of
Newspaper Correspondents Who
Were Sent by the Opponents Of
the Present Administration.

(By a Staff Correspondent Of the
United Press.
Renk, soudan, March 11.-Colo-
mel Theodore Roosevelt has absolute
ly nothing to say to the public re-
garding American politics.
All efforts to get him to discuss the
insurgents" the tariff, the Balling-
er-Pinchot controversy or the Albany
graft" investigation failed today as
he, for the present, absolutely ig-
nores all such topics.
Looking bronzed and as hard as
a prize fighter, Roosevelt arrived on
the steamer Dal today, and immedi-
ately encountered group of news
paper correspondents, whp came here
on the Abbas, a specially chartered
boat
He greeted them with Characters
tic enthusiasm, all of the newspaper
men being his personal friends, but
If the correspondents thought that
as th' return of friendship the colo
uel might loosen up" they suffered
a keen disappointment, for, as fore
casted hy Ill the United Press dis
patches, Roosevelt positively refused
to discuss politics.
1t was the former president who
did the questioning, and the corre-
spondents who unburdened them
selves Of comments.
The colonel proved a greedy list
ener and simply "ate up" everything
the correspondents told him, but his
guard was impregnable.
II have nothing to say, and will
have nothing to say on American or
foreign politics." declared the colo
mel.
Then, turning to the United Press
correspondent, he said
Il want to ask you to state once
more, through the United Press, that
l will grant no interviews, and make
no statements of any kind on Ameri-
can or world politics.
"The public can accept 1t as false
as soon as 1t appears, anything pur-
porting to be an interview with me
relative to such subjects. This APP
plies not only to the present, but to
my entire stay in Europe"
'rhe colonel and Kermit are both
Ia perfect health, but Cunningham,
Loring Weller and Mearns showed
lie ""suit of their recent escape from
fevCrs. They are all right, but they
clearly did not withstand the rlgors

onel.
