KANSAS CITY STOCK
MARKET.
j. A. Rickart, Correspondent.
o 900 oocooooooooo o

Kansas City Stock Yards, May s.
The cattle run last week was only 25,-
600 head all told at Kansas City, the
lightest weeks receipts since last July.
The market accumulated strength
during the week, not so much in the
way of an advance in prices, although
gains of 10 to % cents were recorded,
as in firmer undertone, on which a
substantial rise could be erected,
should receipts continue at such small
figures. Steers received the small end
of the advance last week, cows %
higher in some cases, stockers and
feeders stronger and enjoying good ac-
| tion, calves a quarter higher. The
run today is small, 1000 head, and all
the markets are lightly supplied, furn-
ishing more medicine for the market.
Prices are strong to 10 higher here,
applying to all classes. Top steers
last week brought $61O, and this fig
ure was reached today, bulk of steers
selling at $3.50 to $595. Too many
unfinished steers appeared last week,
sent in by tired feeders, and commits
sion men are advising the owners of
these cattle to hold on awhile, par
tieularly as the outlook seems promis-
ing, and the cost Of carrying them is
now at a minimum figure. On the
other hand, owners say that so far
this month quality commands scant
premium, and claim it does not pay
to put on the finish. The advice to
hold on, however, applies more par
ticularly to steers selling at $500 and
less. Quarantine run is very light to-
day, only cars, steers quotable at
$500 to $5.75 for fed cattle, $4.25 to
$4.75 for grassers. Western steers
brought $5.S5 today, native COWS $3.75
to $5.25, heifers $475 to $500, bulls
$40O to $500, calves up to 6.75, stock.
ers and feeders $4.75 to $5.75.
Hog receipts last week were about
like recent weeks in volumne, aver
age prices 16 cents lower than the
previous week. Run today is 10000
head, market to 10 higher, the usual
Monday stunt, all kinds selling close
together, bulk at $685. to $595, tops
$595. Shippers have been active for
tho Ioct moolr op p,ad;nD, opd I;oht
hogs, but packers are buying hogs be,
cause there is money in them, and the
range is therefore narrow. Values
are now down where they permit OF
a broad outlet, and packers find nc
trouble in getting rid of either the
fresh meat, or the product
Sheep and lambs took on some
strength last week, and closed about
a quarter higher for the week. Run
is 1000 head today, market 10 higher
on sheep Steady on lambs. Texas
clipped wethers sold at $4.25 today
best they have done so far this sea
son, Colorado lambs at $6.10. Wooled
yearlings are worth up to $40, clip
ped ewes $3.50 to s4.10. Wool market
is still bad, bad feature for the mar
ket on live animals Packers do not
find it necessary to kill many goats
bulk of which have to find an outlet
to country buyers. So far this has
not been difficult, at prices ranging
from 1915 to $3.40 at this time.

ENGINE FOUND At
BOTTOM OF RIVER

After working for nearly a week
in the cold waters Of the Pend d.
Oreille river q force of four Thurs
day morning headed by Angus (Bub-
bles) Mcpherson succeeded in locat-
ing great Northern engine No. 1912,
which Jumped the track last Friday,
January 13, and carried Engineer
Zumwalt and Fireman Keisler along.
The engine is broken loose from the
tender and lies under 20 feet of
water.
The bodies of the unfortunate
men have not been located nor is
there a great likelihood of SO doing
for according to the oldest settlers
along the Pend d'Oreille, that river
has never been known to give up its
dead. The bodies have drifted from
the engine and are undoubtedly
caught fast on rocks at the base of
some whirlpool. Bonners Ferry

LOGGING ROAD
TO Be SURVEYED
VIII Reach, Out into Remote TIM
ber Tracts SO that Logging
Can he Carried on
All Year,

We have it from reliable author
ity that surveyors are expected here
within short time to lay out
line for a logging railroad for the
Somers Lumber Company. 1t is to
be quite a pretentious affair, we un-
derstand. 1t is to be of standard
gauge and substantially built to ac-
commodate equipment of the Great
Northern. In fact it is going to be
a regular little railroad all by it.
self, about eight OF nine miles long
and a number of branches, will be
equipped with standard locomo-
tive and logging cars to operate on
the main line, and logging locomo-
tives will hc used on the branches
that will extend out into the tim
ber.
This road is going to be built SO
that the Somers Lumber company
can log their land that lies long
distance from the river. Instead OF
hauling the logs on sleds in the win
ter time and dumping them into
the river to be floated to the mills
when the ice breaks up in the
spring, the logs will be loaded on
the cars and hauled directly to the
mills. In this way logging opera
tions can be carried on the year
around and the mills kept running
too.
1t is said that this road will be
sure thing in the spring if the
lumber business picks up the way it
is expected, and all indications point
tiers are expected in Montana this
coming spring.

accomplished in that city through
the united efforts of it's citizens. He
stated that a town is just what the
individuals make it, and that in
order to make live town every
citizen has to lend a hand
and dig in. He had been around
here for only few days, but what
he could see in that short time he
said there is no reason in the world
why we cannot make one of the
finest little towns in the valley out
of Whitefish. Being situated on
the main line of a great trans-con-
tinental railroad we have a splend-
i'd opportunity to make ourselves
known fer and wide. Our beautiful
lake is great asset, and being sur
rounded with vast areas of timber
fruit and agricultural lands we have
every advantage to develop and ex-
pand into an independent little city
"You are starting in the right
direction by organizing this club"
he said. That's the way we got
our start in Spokane. Get every
one interested. Boost for your
town every chance you get and
make people believe that you think
you have the only spot on Gods

Rev. CASTOR, though only having
been a resident here a short time,
has discovered unsurpassable beau
ties in this valley, far ahead of any
thing he has seen elsewhere, and
he has lived in different parts of
the Rocky mountains for the past
eight years.
r. K Grantier told how he had
seen a little town in Oklahoma that
was on the verge of dying, revived
to a bustling and thriving business
center by a club of this kind and
it appeared to him that it would be
a great help to Whitefish in MAX
ing a greater and better town out
of it.
The membership roll was then
passed around and everyone pres
ent who had not previously done so
signed up for a share of stock and
joined the club. When the meet
ing adjourned all expressed them
selves as being delighted with the
proposition and it was pronounced
the grandest thing that ever was Or
ganized in this city.
A great deal of credit is due the
arrangement committee, Harry
Smith and F. w. Zufelt, for the ac-
tive part they have taken in get
ting everything into order when the
others were too busy to attend to
their duties, and have shouldered

The new quarters of the White
fish Club in the old bank building
over Stacey's jewelry store were
dedicated last Friday night by an
open smoker to which everyone was
invited. A large number responded
to the invitation. in fact the house
was full and resulted in one of the
most enthusiastic Qualifications
held in Whitefish for many day.
The fore part of the evening was
spent in playing cards and burning
up q great number OF fragrant ci-
gars, while Professor Long furn-
lshed music on the piano. After a
couple OF hours of pleasure in this
way Vice President Bonner called
a business meeting to order in the
large assembly room aid explained
to the visitors present the object
of the club, what it had done to
date and outlined the future, and
the work that was contemplated for
the upbuilding and betterment of
our beautiful and progressive little
city.
He told how three months ago
this club first had it's inception in
card club with only a few men,
'bers, who saw a chance to turn it
into one that would be of some USE
fulness beside assure, and extend
ed broad II to every man
in town to join hands with them. SO
that they could have a larger scope
and thus be better enabled to do
things. AS the object of the club
became known, more members were
soon enrolled. Officers and direc-
tors were elected and the club was
state of Montana. More room was
needed, so the present quarters were
leased for period of three years
from Mr.. Stacey. who very kindly
granted permission to remodel and
fit the place up to suit the require
ments of the club. In front three
comfortable parlors have been ar
ranged, reception room, card room
and private room, where one can
talk over private business affairs with
another without interruption. In the
rear is the large assembly room,
that will be fitted up with pool aid
billiard tables in the near future
and as soon as it can be afforded
a gymnasium will be added. All has
been newly and neatly painted and
we'll lighted with electricity, pre-
senting most cheerful appearance
The present expense for mainte-
nance is about SIS per month, and
after everything is completed and
in order will require only small
monthly assessment from each men,
Der to keep up. and as the member
ship increases this assessment will
be lowered.
Mr.. Tenner was called upon to ex-
press himself, and told how the club
besides being one of social en-
tertainment would branch out and
handle all the civic affairs of the
town; that each member should
pledge himself to become booster
for the town and thereby make it
Booster club also. and have for it's
object the upbrilding and better
