The "Dokie" Ceremonial

Saturday night will be night long
to be remembered by Grangeville
knights and several from neighboring
towns. This was the night the "Dok-
les" put on their ceremonial and as a
result Of their visit to our bright and
peaceful little city there are some
Knights with sad faces and many
others with broad smiles. But then
some one had to suffer.
A class of twenty-seven was intro
duced to the mysteries and while SO
large a class was not anticipated some
who had previously expressed them
selves as not going in upon gentle
persuasion on the part Of the "Dok-
les caused rapid change of mind.
The parade started promptly at
eight thirty. the Grangeville band
leading the line, then the .Dokies'
and later the crowd Of "Tyors" to be
used in the slaughter. Every candi-
date was given his moneys worth be
sides plenty Of camel's milk and ZEN
zem. So far we have heard no com
plant. A banquet prepared by the
Pythian Sisters was served at mid
night and prepared all for the strenu
GUS life that followed.
Besides the Grangeville candidates
there were several from Vollmer, Cot
tonwood and Ferdinand. The work
as exempliied by the team from Lew
iston was most impressive"

 Hogs this week A, ,50O, last week 44,30O, same week last year 32, 100. The holiday Monday cut into the weeks receipts, but the main reason for the small run was the apparent determination of packers to put down the price. Small runs have not prevented this, as declines have been the rule since Tuesday, includ- ing loss of 15 to 20 cents to-day. A nice lot of chipping hogs, porkers, sold at $9,15 to-day, but packers top was $9.05, and bulk of sales $S.75 to $9.00, best heavies $S.S0. It is possible that the decline this week has been fictitious, and that small runs awhile longer would turn the market sharply upward, but the belief is general that prices are slated for lower level.

The market made some good gains up to Thursday, especially on lambs, which advanced 35 to 30 cents, but prices have weakened yesterday and to-day, with top lambs worth around $S.10, wethers and yearlings $500, ewes $4.50, Texas muttons $4 % to $4 60, goats around $3 25, feeding wethers $4.00 to $4.25, breeding ewes $4.00 to S4f5tl.'

The Dairy Industry of the United
 States.

States.
 According to the last year book oof the Department of Agriculture, there are 21,720,000 milch COWS in the United States and these are worth $7O2,945,0 100000. The magni- tude of the industry can perhaps be best understood when it is con- sidered that these COWS produce yearly about $1,000,000,000.00 worth of dairy products.
 There is no other branch of div ersified agriculture so important to the progress of community. The fertility of the soil can best be maintained by the liberal use of barnyard manure and the dairy herd not only make this possible, but dairying is also more remuner- ative than other branches of farm ing when properly carried on.
 Dairying has made wonderful progress since the advent of the modern creamery and the con- sumer of butter has not only been bene eitted by being furnished more wholesome and palatable article of food, but the wife in the farm home has been relieved of the drudgery incident to making butter under conditions not conducive to fine quality in the finished product and in the majority of cases by un- skilled hands; now the most of the milk or cream is delivered to a modern creamery where conditions are suited to the purpose of making butter, and the result has been a wonderful improvement in the quality of our dairy products. As the quality has improved consump- ton has increased and the pro- gress has been remarkable during the past decade.
 The perpetuity of the country'S greatness depends upon increasing the production of farm products from year to year, result which not only furnishes our people witt food but maintains the prosperity of our farming communities. In crease in production can only come through improved methods of agri culture and soil improvement When it is considered that th dairy COW is the foundation for soi impr ovement and farming pros perity, her importance is best un derstood, and interest in her shoul' not be confined to her owner. Sh is an important factor in the de velopment and prosperity of ou country.

The market was stronger first of the week, particularly on butc her grades, but the close is weak, and slow markets have been the rule since Tuesday, and the gain is small on anything, heavy steers a little lower for the week. A fea ture this week has been the good number of Missouri fed steers here, selling at $7.75 to $8l5, and the large number of good grass steers here from Kansas. Green wood County steers, weighting 1250 to 1450, sell at $6.75 to $740, and lighter grass bring $5.50 to $6.50, some Ellsworth County l240 steers at $6 35 yesterday.

REPUBL|CANSW|LL
SCRATCH TICKET
Democrats Hopeful Of Making
Substantial Gains in
Vermont.
Especial to The Tlmcs-Dispatch ]

Montpelier. VT, September 4.-The
political forces in Vermont are lined
up for the battle Of ballots next Tues
day The rallies by the Democrats and
the Republicans have practically all
been held, and tho chance for an Off
year has been lively one.
The Republican leaders have held
conferences and rallies at the county
seats Of fourteen counties In the State,
but the Democrats not content with
this, have had their best state speak
ers on the stump for two weeks, and
have received the assistance Of Con-
gresham F'oss, of Massachusetts,, and
ex-Mayor T. j. Boynton. of Everett,
Mass.
The Democrats are moro sanguine
than they have been in many years,
not that they will elect a Democratic
Governor, but that they will reduce
the Republican majority to such a low
figure that the voice Of Vermont in
September will have very cheering
sound In the doubtful States that hold
their elections in November. normal
Republican majority in an off-year In
Vermont is from 1900 to 10000 and
with four candidates for Governor In
the field, the Democrats are certain
they Will cut the plurality to less tiian
10000.
The candidates for Governor are
John a. Mead, of Rutland. Republican;
ocrat; Edwin r. Towle, of Franklin.
Prohibition, and Chester N. Sawyer, Of
Proctorsvil1e, Socialist.
In all probability the combined vote
Of the two latter In the entire state
will not exceed 500.
One of the strongest arguments the
Democrats have in this campaign Is
that the Republican candidates are
openly charging John A. Mead with i'm
proper use of funds to secure his n.rm'
ination, and because of this leehns
many upstate Republicans have bolt
ed Mead's nomination.
It can be safely asserted that many
Republicans in every county In the
state will scratch the head of f.te
ticket next Tuesday, but to what ex-
tent no man to-day can tell With
the exception Of head OF the Republi-
can ticket. the remainder of the tick
ct is sure to receive practically the
solid Republican vote. and the only
fair way to size up the returns next
Tuesday is to take the vote for Con-
gresham.
II congressman D. j. Foster, Of Bur-
1ington and Frank Plumley. OF North
feld. have a majority of more than
Is. 900, the Democrats can extract very
little comfort from the vote in YER
mont next Tuesday; should they so be-
low that figure 1t would be another
story.
The cutting will practically all be
done with the head Of ticket, and THIS
will be entirely because OF state s.
sues. and not because of interest or
non-interest in national questions.

To stop Socialism there must be a
national effort put forth, and every

and calling fpr. centralization in gov

would take States rights from the
Western people, is sample. The

to the needs of the hour rather than
initiate the North in actual work for
