WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
CBy J, A. Rickart. oorrespondentD

3l.- hlllerS were m the cattle all
 leys early every day last week,
 and had orders to buy the run.
 The result was an advancing
 market all week, with net gain
 oi 10 to 25 cents on all killing
 grades. Quarantine cattle 2 o {
 the best attention, and the full
 gain, though medium and low
 priced cattle in the native division
 were also the object ol hard riding
 by the packers, who even invaded the stocker and feeder division
 and took anything that had a
 semblance of flesh, down to 900
 lb. weight. The supply was ten
 thousand head larger than the
 previous week, half of which was
 quarantine cattle, but it was sev- enteen thousand less than same
 week last year. Packers cannot
 keep secret the fact that they need
 material badly, and miss the gen erous receipts of grass cattle usu- ally coming to market at this season. Unless cattle are fat, owners are being advised to give them a chance to become so, in districts recently parched, as com mission men do not believe there will be any excessive supply Of cattle on the market at any time this tall. A good deal of common stuff is included in the run of I6,- 900 cattle and 2,ooo calves here today. The best end of this lib- eral supply is selling steady and active, some Kansas fed Colorado steers setting new high mark for the year on heavy steers. at S7.o5. Medium and common grass steers are being set back little today, with the promise of further correction if they keep on coming plenhfully, as killers aver, and with reason, that that kind has been the most expensive beef they have had to handle. Two hundred cars of quarantine cattle arrived here today, fhe biggest run of that class since three weeks ago today, market on steers weak to 10 lower, cows and calves steady. Wintered native steers sell at S5.5o to 6. 30, through steers S4. 50 to 5.25, some Old Mexicos today at S4 60, quaran- tine steers S4.I5 to 5.75, grass cows S5.25 to AIS, top veals S7. Stockers and feeders lost 10 to 25 cents last week, steady to weak today, stockers at S3.25 to 4.5o, feeders S4 to $40.
 The law of supply and demand is working inexorably in the hog market, prices mounting as the receipts decline. Run here last week was 36,ooo head, a big de- crease from previous week, and less than same week last year, a long time since this last thing happened. Average prices for the week were 30 cents higher than average previous week, and present prices are so to 75 cents higher than any of the talent ex- pected at this juncture. Dealers say that pigs are being sacrificed, a fact that lends strength to fu- lures in the provisions market, particularly lard. Run here 5000 today, market 5 to 10 higher, top S7.Io, bulk S6. 90 to 7.Io.

Cattlemen vs. Railroad Co.

A meeting of cattlemen and Santa Fe railroad officials W S held in Flagstaff last Saturday for the purpose of adjusting the differ ences which arose over the gen. eral order to bury all animals killed by trains immediately. The case against Section Foreman Mcdowell was dismissed s t week by District Attorney Sleeves without notice, but meeting of stockmen had been called to reach some agreement whereby stock men could secure payment for stock under the law which pro- vides for payment for killing ami mals. There were a number of stockmen present to meet .wlth Santa Fe attorneys E. w. Camp, II. J. Franklin and claim agent Herbert Morris.
 There was tacit agreement among those present that the fol-. lowing schedule of prices. would be used in putting value on. ani- mals killed: Calves SIS, year ling heifers SIS, yearling steers S2I, cows S26, two year old steers S27, three year old steers S36.
 The railroad attorneys agreed that all animals killed would be hauled of the right of way, tbere left until inspected.
 The agreement does not bind anyone especially, but may be a basis to work from, though when 1t comes. to the age of a critter, '. discussion as to values will re-, main about the same as hereto fore, with the exception that there may be some difficulty in proving that that the animal was killed by the railroad, since 1t is eventually found off the right of way.

Here's To The Cow
Kansas Farmer Pays Tribute To
Overworksd and oft Neglect
ed Friend OF Mankind

In view Of the lack of appreciation
of the efforts of local parties TO create
a market for cream and of the great
benefit it would be to Logan county
if 5000 more good dairy cows were
being properly handled in this comfy.
the following tribute to the humble
COW is apropos. 1t was written by =
Kansas farmer after +. d. Cobwin of
the Kansas state board of agriculture
had exploited the virture of the hen:
Most potent of all single influences
in the building of this mightiest ma
ton in history is the COW. Her sons
drew the plows which first cultivated
the land of the new world; hauled to
market the products of the field, and
with slow energy moved the chattels
and household goods beyond the noun
tains in new homes in the farther
west.
"They supplied the beef which
the food of the Anglo Saxon, race
that was never conquered since his
tory began. They furnished the shoes
of the pioneer who trod the unknown
wilds and made of them the farm
steads and cities of our present en-
lightcnment. Tney gave the clothes
and robes to protect the pioneer
against the destroyed blasts of win
ter and made commerce possible be-
fore the railroad was. They covered
the chair upon which he sat, filled the
mattress upon which he slept and
glued together the furniture he used.
THE old cow is the mother of the
whole bovine and foster mother of
half the human race. From the road
side weed he manufactures her most
nCu ishing of human foods. She is
the ready aid of the farmer, the pet
of the rich man and the ever present
help of the poor, She is the econo-
mist of the people and the conservator
of their resources. She partakes Of
the grass of the field and leaves the
farm the richer for her presence. As
she helped to deveiope the farm from
the wilderness and as she ate of its
first fruits so she will renew the life
of the soil and make still greater
agriculture possible.
''ln all our history the COW has been
mans closest friend and bene factor.
Upon her products are built the great
business interest which center in the
stockyards, the harness shops and the
mills. Without her Chicago would be
a village and Kansas a prairie waste
Take away the COW and our banks
would close, our graveyards yawn and
the wheels of commerce would cease
to turn. Foster and care for her and
business fiourishes, the fertility of the
soil is conserved and she becomes the
custodian of the nations prosperity"
Sterling Republican Advocate.
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1911-10-19

written by the secretaty of the Cham
her of Commerce At Elizabeth. Colorado
he says the land has been held back by
big live stock interests and more recent
ly by speculators. Itis just now coming
into the hands of developers, and dairy
ing seems its natural destiny. 1t is
estimated that milk cows running on
grass pay 81 to $40 . month. The re.
ceipts Of E. T. Evans. an experienced
dairyman VINO came in here from the
East several years ago, run $500 q
month.
The business man can easily see by
resding the above what it will mean to
him to develope Sedgwick county along
dairy lines. We suggest that everyone
help boost this proposition and get q
creamery located in Julesburg.

Mr.. Mohler Made President

Former Vice President and General
Manager Mohler of the Union Pacific
Railroad Company has been made
president of this company. The Omaha
Bee says"
President Mohler of the Union Pacific
is to be congratulated on his romotion
to be he ad of thatgreat transcontinental al
, railway system. and Omaha is to be
congratulated at the same time beca ause
the reconition accorded to Mr.. Mohler
carries with it accentuation of the i'm
portance of Omaha in the railway world.
AS Vice President ana general manager
of the Union Pacific. Mr.. Mohler has
not only enhanced his reputation as
practical railroad man, which was al
ready high before he took charge, but al
so proved himself to be imbued with the
right ideas of the re ons between the
railroads and tha people in the territory
served. For the task to be performed,
Mr.. Harrm lid n thave a a bet
ter lieutenant than Mr.. Mohler, and the
succession of the latter in the position
formerly occnpied by Mr. Hartman
attests the confidence reposed in him.
Where Omaha may expect to gain,
aside from having the new president
located here, is in the centering of official
authority over the entire system, in
cluding the Oregon Short Line, again
at this point. 1t insures the developing
or the Union Pacific independently of
Southern Pacific and other Hartman
lines, and the steady upbuilding of the
road whose growth and prosperity can
not help but add to the growth and pros
perity of Omaha as the gateway for
practically all its through traffic.

Found Dead ON Rail Road

The train crew on Extra West No.
1896 discovered man lying on the east
bound track of the Rail Road just west
of the sign board between Nebraska and
Colorado Saturday night about midnight
and reported same to the Depot upon
their arrival in town. Night Watch
man Kinsman called up the Coroner
and Sheriff and they together with
Messrs Kinsman, White, johnson,
Stevenson and Raines at once proceed
I'd to the place on hand car. They
found man obout "a years of age with
brow, curley hair, light grey eyes dres
sed in a blue suit of clothes with soft
shir;, a purple toul-in-hand tie and a
pair OF Selz shoes lying on the inside
rail of the east Eond track. about IL
feet on the south side of the trace was
found four ounce bottle about one
quarter full of carbolic acid. The in
side of the mans mouth, his lips, chin
and left hand was burned with the acid.
He was placed on the hand ear and
bi ought to the depot and DR.. Cook was
called and pronounced the man dead
a app, rently suicide from taking
carbolic acid. The body was turned
over to the undertaken and prepared for
burial but was held until late Monday
afternoon to see if anything could be
learned as to who he was as there was
nothing upon tie body by which he
could be identified. The young man
who ever he was bore all the marks
of having lived a very different life
from that of a bum or suicide. He
had Pullman receipt from New York
to Chicago, adrinking cup, some scenic
postal cards which he had evidently
recently bought, a nearly new Ingersoil
watch with Central time, a pocket
comb and other minor items that show
Ell that his previous life had not been
one of want but he had been careful to
remove all means of identifi .ation. AS
a mea IS of possible future iden :ification
the Coroner had several pictures taken
of the deceased and late Monday after
noon the Undertaken, Preacher and
Coroner proceeded out to the Cemetery
and just as The sun was sinking in the
West, the Burial Service of the Metho-
dist church was read and the body was
consigned to Mother Earth to await,
possibly the coming of friends or rela-
tives to identify and take the body or
until Time shall be no more
At the time of going to press the
Coroner has not been able to establish
the identify of the above but tele-
gram sent to Morrison, ILL.,, from where
he evidently bought his clothes has an
answer as follows: Description ar swers

Do We Waat q crsa.s,y?

There 10 no question but what every
thinking man realizes the necessity and
advantages Of dairying. 1t means
much to both the farmers and the
} business men. 1t makes the farmers
Independent a. he has q steady in come
the amount varying with tho number
and kind Of cows he keeps and the at
tention he gives them.
As we told our re aders last week
Robert L. Cochran, State Dairy Com
missioner was here in the interests of
locating creamery in Julesburg he
has man who has plenty Of capital
and is rea ly to come here and establish
4 creamery and all that he wants is the
assurance that he will have the pro-
ducts from at least 500 cows and this
aught not to be hard to get. The Com
mercial Club through its Manufacturing
Committee are at work on the PROPOSE
tion and they are receiving encourage
ment from the farmers along this line.
What does dairying mean to the far
mers? We copy herewith something
that we consider very good.
'The good dairy COW has always been
asource of profit and satisfaction to
the farmer. But the averag. farmer
does not appreciate the difference be-
tween good cows and poor cows. and
consequently is careless in his selections
and his breeding and his care"
The man who wisely decides to sup
plement his far n with COW
or two will do we'll to ponder what that
statement means, reading between the
lines the while. We believe its wisdom
will be appreciated in very few years
if its implied council is followed.
He likened COW to a machine.
She takes in the gram, forage ard range
grass and turns out a finished product.
Successful manufacturers, when they
bny a machine for any specific purpose
buy the best on the market. The dairy
man would do well to follow the exam
pie. If you have three or four old
machines that are eating their heads
off, would not 1t pay to dispose of
them and get one or two good cows of
the dairy type, adding to the number
and grade as means and ranch equip
ment will permit,
This man told the story of his expert
ence. How he started with one $52 90
COW. How he early concluded that to
make money out of dairying he must
have good cows. How he added to his
herd both in quality and in quantity.
How he headed it with a sire of the
best dairy type. How he continued to
sell the poorest and to keep the best,
using judgement in his selections.
How he now has herd worth into the
thousands. How he educated four sons
in the State University. How he and
his good wife had enjoyed the comfor's
and some of the luxuries of life. How
the c>ws paid the bills.
This was no fairy tale either; but the
plain statement of plain, honest far
mer who knew by experience what he
was talking about. We believe his ex-
perience can be duplicated by many of
. our farmers in the years to come.

}east of CeloIado Springs in county
