THE GRAIN MARKET,
Liverpool Grain.

Liverpool, May 15.-The wheat mar
ket opened easy, Il lower, and follow
ing the opening further declined q to
Is, with general heavy realizing. Sell
ing was prompted by the Unexpectedly
heavy worlds shipments, made so by
large Russian and Danubian contribu-
lions, and the fact that the United
Kingdom received a fair percentage
Pressure was further encouraged by
private reports of light rains in Russia,
and cooler, and small demand for both
cargoes and parcels. At 1880 p. m. the
market was weak and 7s to 1 lower
than Saturday. May was unquoted.

A BUSINESS CHANGE.
J. C. Webb and A. s. Brown Takes
Over Business of Idaho Grocery Co.

On the first of this month there was
a change in the management of the
Idaho Wholesale Grocery business of
this city. The business of the COM
pany being taken over by j. c. Webb
and A. S. Brown. The firm of Webb
& Brown have been among the heav-
lest shippers of hay and spuds on the
tract and they will combine their
present business with that of distri-
butors for the Idaho Wholesale Gro
Gerry company. So far this season the
company have shipped 81 cars of
spuds to eastern states and the total
loss through claims was less than
$4,000, a very remarkable showing 1t
is understood that Mr.. Harder, who
has conducted the business for the
Idaho Grocery company in the past,
will make an extended trip through
Europe next summer.

STORIES DIFFER.
o. s. L. Strikers Claim Not One Per
Cent Are Skilled WOrkmen.

Taking advantage of the offer Of
the Short Line to take back without
prejudice as many of the striking
shopmen as cared to return to work,
number donned overalls and jump
ers this morning and showed up on the
job. The guards inside the shop en-
closure have been taken off, and the
men are at liberty to come up town
II they desire. A large majority Of the
strikers, however, remain firm, and
believe that the physical condition OF
the motive power is such that the
company cannot long operate without
the help OF expert machinists and boil
ermakers. The company is feeding
over 700 men in the eating house in
side the enclosure-more worknen
than ever before were employed In the
Pocatello shops. The strikers claim
that not one per cent OF this number

FAMINE IN HAY.
California Crop Is Short and the Avail
able Supply In Fodder Small.

San Francisco, Nov. 1S.-Hay will be
no laughing matter this winter, parti-
cularly to those members Of the ami
NAL kingdom which subsist on the
commodity. According to figures gath
cred by the San Francisco Hay Asso-
citation, there is serious danger of a
famine in the staple, unless there are
early rains to start the new grass and
an open winter to nurture it's growth.
If the rains are late and the winter is
cold, ton of hay may be of equal
value with the horse that eats it.
According to the hay association,
there is available in San Francisco,
Oakland and at tributary points to
those markets, 161,75 tons Of hay. On
November 1, 1909, there were on hand
$40 tons, or about 81 900 tons more
than this year. and last year there was
in stock on November /, 2SO,17O, or
about $4,000 tons more than is avail
able now AS the shortage in hay is
matched by shortage in grain, and
since 1t is not local. but general
throughout the world, there is no field
which may be drawn upon by the To-
cal market, and prohibitive prices are
anticipated by the dealers.
The present condition surprises
many who have followed the hay trade
for while it was known that the hay
crop of the season was about half OF
normal, it was thought that there
would be heavy carry-over from last
year, which would keep the barns fill
ed.
Grain is abnormally high at present
and will be higher. Barley and oats
are at almost prohib!tive figures. The
eastern markets are drawing heavil.
on the stock of California and the
western states, and 1t is generally be
lieved that this state has over-sold tc
the east.
The increased consumption of ha,
and grain in the state, in spite of thu
large number of automobiles IN use, II
due to the construction work that Il
being carried on. The demand now Il
larger than 1t was three years ago
when there was serious shortage
and horsemen and dairymen will b.
hard pressed for provender.

TO PROSECUTE
LAND FRAUDS
Supreme Court So Decides The
Question.
DECISION Is RENDERED BY JUS
TICE LURTON.
General Laws Held Applicable to
the Unsuryeyed Coal Regions Of
Alaska.

Washington, Dec. 4.-The supreme
court of the United States opened the
way today for the federal government
to prosecute coal land fraunds in AL
aska by holding that the general coal
land laws of the United States which
forbid persons or associations making
more than one entry, apply to the un-
surveyed coal regions of Alaska.
The immediate effect of this holding
was the reversal of the action of the
United States circuit court for west
ern Washington in quashing as invalid
the indictments against Charles F.
Munday and Archie w. Shields, on
charges of conspiring to defraud the
government out of Alaskan coal lands
valued at $10,090,000 The way is op-
ened now for their trial on this charge.
Justice Lurton rendered the unan-
imous opinion of the court. He con-
sidered the argument of the defend
ants that the act of congress in 1904,
superseded the general laws, insofar
as the unsurveyed lands of Alaska
were concerned.
There occurs to us no reason for
assuming that congress intended to
abandon the policy of keeping open the
| right of every citizen to enter one tract
and no more of the unsurveyed coal
lands of Alaska that would not also
lead to the abandonment of the policy
as respects coal lands which had been
surveyed" said the court.
An intention to depart from uni
form policy so long inforced in the
coal lands should not be imputed to
congress until the Act of 1904 admits
of no other construction"
Justice Lurton then proceeded to
show that the act of 1904 did admit of
another construction, namely, to ex-
tend the general coal land entry laws,
which were then applicable only to
surveyed lands to unsurveyed lands.
THE legislation read in the light of
the situation and of the uniform pol
icy had so long prevailed" Justice
Lurton concluded, ''of prohibiting
more than one entry to one person
makes it plain that congress did not
intend to except the unsurveyed coal
lands of Alaska from the operation OF
the restrictions which attached to the
sale of the surveyed coal lands in AL
aska and elsewhere. e."-Statesman.

In the house the question will be first

recent bill was drafted by Representa-

from the Sherman law the rule of

CONCERT A SUCCESS.
Hallowell Concert Co. Pleases Large
Audience at Dreamland.

The Dreamland pavilion was filled
to overfiowing last evening by music
lovers who were there to attend the
concert which was given by the Halo
we'll Concert company under the aus
pices of the local lodge of Elks. To
say that the large audience was pleas
ed with the concert was putting it very
mildly indeed. Every number render
ed was a gem and special mention
should be made of Mr.. Haberhorn, the
soloist, whose singing was something
seldom heard in city the size OF
Twin Falls. After the program the
splendid orchestra furnished music for
those who wished to trip the light fam
tastic. The Elks are to be congra-
tulated on furnishing the citizens Of
the city one of the best entertainments
of the season.

last Sunday afternoon in the Metho
dist church and held services for the
departed members in accordance with
their annual custom. The address for

by the living that in death the same
rite might be accorded by the order.

STALKER MAKES REDUCTION
Additional Cut Made in Big Closing
Out Sale.

O.. A. Stalker & Company had the big
clothing store closed for two days last
week while further reductions were
made in the prices which were already
down to bedrock. The opening day,
Saturday, found the store showing
some wonderful bargains and the
crowd was there to take advantage of
them. The selling out of the big stock
has been going on rapidly under the
first reduction but Sweeney & Com
pany decided that If possible the stock
must be cleared up by January 1st,
and. with that in view have made re-
.ductions that will certainly move the
merchandise as soon as the buying
public can see the bargains. The mem
bers of the firm having decided to re-
tire are getting the stock converted
into cash as fast as possible and the
big sale is certainly bringing In the
cash and placing high grade mer-
chandise in the hands Of the consum-
ers at very low prices.

SECURES CONTROL OF BLUST[R
Geo. Wingfield of Utah. Pays $175,OOO
for Control Of Property.

It is stated on good authority that at
a conference held Wednesday after
noon at Ogden between Ed Benane,
one of the owners of the Bluster prop
erty of the Jarbidge district, and Geo.
Wingtleld, president of the GOldfield
Consolidated company, deal was con-
summated by which Mr.. Wingfeld Sc
cures the control of this property on
the basis of $750,0O0 for the whole. The
deal, therefore, involves practically
100000.
Mr.. Wingfield is operating the Sue
cess property at Jarbidge, which ad-
Joins the Buster, and the latest re-
ports have 1t that he has drifted to
within twenty feet of the Bluster lines
on excellent gold ore. demonstrating
that the Success resources are to ex-
tend into the Bluster, making the lat
ter well worth the price stipulated.
| This is one of the largest deals In
the history of Jarbidge, and it is with
out question the most important, as
Mr.. Wingfield undoubtedly has q great
respect for the camp since beginning
his Success property operations the
deal promises to attract public atten-
ton as nothing else could. and the
property owners there should hnd cap
ital more willing from now on to VEN
ture In that field.
All who are familiar with Jarbidge
and who have given Mr. Wingneld's
operations there careful study. believe
that he Is working along the lines OF
big consolidation, and thev are certain
merger will be effected OF NUM-
| ber of Jarbidge comnanies within the
next few months. Conditions at the
camp are at their hest 20 far, and
everything points to this being one Of
