WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
Receipts and Sales at Portland Union
Stock Yards.

PORTLAND, May 20.-Receipts on
this market for the week ending today
have been, 1907 cattle, 16 calves
2065 hogs, 5215 sheep, 81 horses and
mules.
The cattle market has remained
steady to strong, and the level OF
prices has caused killers to buy the
least possible quantity. The presence
1of more than the usual number OF
competitive bidders has, in meas
ure, explained the high line of prices.
The hog market has remained fairly
steady. Some killers claim that there
has been weakness, but as compar-
ed with the river markets this point
shows a strong condition.
The sheep market was strong with
an active demand and a clearance was
made of the entire offerings.
The horse market has been slow
and the transactions indicate a lower
range of values.
Representative sales have been as
follows: Steers, 1915 to 81; cows
$3.50 to 1925; yearlings, IS; bulls,
$3.50 to $4.75; calves, IS to 81; hogs
Sc to $6.75; lambs, $6.75; yearlings'
$50; wethers, $5; ewes, $4.1O; horses
-drafters, 5000 to s212 each; chunks
$175 each.

and the United States now supplies the

No man knows how old this valu-
able material may be, for the ruins of
ancient Rome are solid masonry, laid
with cement made from the volcanic
ashes mixed with lime and water. The
ruined cities of the Aztecs In Central
America also contain ancient masonry
laid with cement and walls built of
cement and rubble. As we know it,
the material is mixture of lime,
silica and aluminium.
Artificial Stone
These elements in the right proper
tion have the remarkable property of
cohering until the product finally be-
comes as hard as stone. Lime is OBJ
tained by burning limestone and silica
with aluminium is the natural product
of common clay.
The ease with which this material is
handled makes it desirable. It is as
far cheaper to handle crushed rock
and cement than it is to handle great
blocks and slabs of heavy stone. With
concrete, new abutment for a
bridge can be poured and nodded into
shape in single day. whereas it used
to take gang of skilled stone masons
all of month to build it. BY this
means also a good. substantial house
can be made in "a hours.

in the Saturday afternoon contest at
that place between themselves and
the Dallas High School boys, which
resulted in a score of 6 to 8. Barham
did some spectacular tossing, going in
at the fifth inning and holding the
enemy to one run from that to the
finish His work at the bat was equal
ly good and resulted in single and a
two -bagger. The boys are dissatis-
