Denver Markets.

Denver Union Stock Yards, Mar.
Receipts of cattle were very
good here last week and demand
was strong for anything desirable.
The palmer kinds were little
slow early in the week but later
these were also more active and
the market closed in good condition
on all grades. Compared with the
week before prices closed 10 to 20
cents higher and firm at the ad-
vance. Good beef cattle were want
ed all week and demand for feed
ers and stockers was also strong.
Good to choice beef steers sold at
$40 to $3.50 but choice kinds
would have brought more. Good to
choice cows sold at S4.45 to $500,
and fair to good at 1915 to $40.
Bulls brought 1915 to s4.40 and
veal calves sold at $500 to $500,
or little lower. Good to choice
feeders and stockers brought $500
to s5.75 and fancy kinds on up. Fail
to good grades went at $4.35 to
$500 Demand for feeders was
much better than supply. Prices
here were steady to weak today
owing to declines of fully a dime
at all eastern markets. Demand was
strong on this market and all offer
ings cleaned up early.
The hog trade was active all week
Prices fluctuated from day to day
somewhat but at the close on Sat
urday there was not much change
the market went off sharply at all

Whereas, the Casady-Teller bill

Army and Navy Situation.

Since the moving of soldiers to
the Mexican border and the shifting
of certain battle ships, all sorts of
war-scare stories have been pub
,ished and all with no effect.
Some of the guesses might be very
nearly correct. or they may have no
foundation whatever. Even If there
was anything alarming to the War
Department. it would not be stated
until the proper time, which leaves
every newspaper and every person
entitled to as many guesses as they
wish and each individual can form
his own opinion to have it confirm
cd or be disappointed as the case
NAV be.
The movement of troops and war
ships is no doubt a good thing,
whether there is war prospect in
sight or not. 1t helps to show that
the nation Is alive.

dence in the greatness of our ma

One of the main things is to get
the foundation-good grades and
proper drainage. Even then we are
bound to have mud when it is rainy
and dust and ruts when too long
dry. The serious thing is to keep
eternally at it with the construction
and repairs; to guard against wash
outs and overflows, and to minimize
the dust effects by soil, gravel and
sand mixtures, filling ruts and un-
even places with like mixture, ma
terial for which is generally &C
cessable in this county If every
man who travels the roads would
become sufficiently interested to do
little when he sees it is needed,
it would materially help. Most fel-
lows, though, when bumped by
rock or jolted by a rut, swear
little and try to avoid the next one.

Regarding the refunding of city
indebtedness, if such an indebted
ness can be refunded, in full, clean
ing up all outstanding warrants
and affording an opportunity to
start anew, with clean slate, it is
the proper thing to do. If the pur-
pose or legal ability might be to
refund only part of such indebt-
edness, then the action would be
of much less Importance and sig
nificance. The main thing is to en-
able city council to start right and
keep right. The wisdom, business
ability and integrity of members of
the body must be largely depended
upon for the last named result,
though publicity, in shape of regu-
lar reports of financial conditions
would help. These debts are out.
The warrants must be paid. and as
they presumably draw more interest
than when refunded, economy as
well as cnvenience, would suggest
refunding

was conducted Saturday afternoon
by Worshipful Grand Master Albert

wretchedly muddy condition of the
street and walks a large crowd of

The train on which the grand

was late, but upon its arrival the
Masons formed into procession on
Cascade avenue and marched to
the site of the temple. The process
