Denver Markets.

Denver Union Sock Yards, April
17-Receipts of cattle were very
good here last week and under
good demand. Trade was brisk
from day to day. Eastern markets
are all lower than a week ago but
prices here are higher, in fact, Den
Yer is at present abuot the highest
market in the country. Heavy fat
steers are perhaps not much better
than steady with a week ago as the
demand for them is rather slack at
all points but handy weight steers
are ~ to IS cents higher and cows
also about that much advanced.
Good to choice steers sold at $40
to $3.50, several punches at $500
and one lot at $6.1O. Cows sold at
$4.75 to $5.35 for the good to
choice. and choice to fancy heifers
at $40 to $5.75. Bulls were firm
at $500 to $3.50 for bulk. choice
butcher bulls selling up to 500.
Veal calves sold largely at $500
to $9.5. Feeder and stocker de-
mand is much better than supply
and prices firm to 15c higher at
the close. Good to choice steers
are bringing $500 to S5.65 and
fair to good kinds going at s4.25
to $500. Prices today are fully
steady on all classes of cattle with
l, 900 head on sale.
The hog trade was active all
week and prices ruling higher right

One man estimates the Grand val
ley smudging campaign last week to
have cost $4,000. According to the
statements made by the Grand juno
ton papers nearly $4,000 worth
of oil and coal were burned in the
orchards, that is. 200 carloads of
coal and 35 carloads of oil. This
would probably bring the cost of
Grand valleys smuudging last week
nearly up to $4,000 instead of
$4,000.

To The Citizens of Delta, Colorado.
In accordance with a generally
accepted plan of municipalities to-
day and at the request of the Wo-
mans Club, 1, in the capacity of
mayor, have set aside April 20,
as cleaning day in the city of Delta
At the beginning of the summer
when cleanliness means so much
to the health of a community it is
important that something be done
by the city and citizens to start off
right. This plan may mean little or
much, according to the attitude of
the citizens of Delta. The marsha al
will be instructed to take charge
of the work and to cooperate on
that day with the ladies of the Wo-
mans Club, school children and
with the citizens generally to the
end that all alleys, back yards and
premises shall be put in order.
1t is earnestly to be hoped that
every citizen, every man, woman and
child shall keep Apri, 29 in mind
and shall take 1T upon himself or
herself to do some one thing on
that special day that will contribute
to the making of a cleaner city.
Any citizen desiring information
as to the plans for the cleaning
may secure the same by communi-
eating with Mrs. j. E. Hillman, the
president of the Woman's Club, or
with the marshal of the city. Let
no one shirk what ought to be a
pleasant duty, and let us make
cleaning day count for something
in the city of Delta.

1t isn't a question of the dignity
of some outside nation, when un-
written laws are invoked against
it's citizens. 1t is much a question
of right or wrong between man and
man. 1t is hard to condone
spirit that would encourage Asiatic
labor in a country which should
be for Americans to the detriment
of white citizen opportunities. 1t
is also hard to excuse a spirit of
manifestly too willingness to use
force where froce is not last
resort. In so far as protection to
aliens who come to this country
practically to take advantage of its
opportunities. and upon which they
may live, it can be said, but in
some cases grudgingly, that they
have a right to appeal to the laws
If not satisfied with the treatment
received at the hands of the peo-
pie with whom they come in con-
tact. The mater of enforcing un-
written laws has been put into ef-
feet by people of this and every
other nation. In the settlement of
the West the people often laid down
their own laws and enforced them
without fear or favor. 1t was nee
essary to do so for their own pro-
lection. Today, however. it is. or
should be. different. and those who
rush in to supDlant the organized
system. do 1t with personal hazard.
no matter how just or how patri-
etic may appear to them to be their
motive. In summing up. however.
II must be admitted that every ae-
gressive demonstration by Deon'e

ate and lasting effect.

The Independent would suggest
to the city that longer night hours
be allowed citizens for watering
their lawns. Most dwellers can get
along nicely within the prescribed
time limit, but there are some who
do not get ready in the evenin~
to use the water before seven or
half past, and with such the time
is too short. AS a matter of fact
there is little argument against US
ing the water at night. as the
tanks are running over. and no
amount thus used would shorten
the supply for daytime.
