KANSAS CITY LIVESTOCK.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Aug T.
New high figures for the year were
set on choice to prime steers in all
grades in the killing list last week, al
though the supply of cattle was liberal
all through the week. Corn fed year
lings and heifers reached $735, heavy
steers brought 1925 on two occasions,
native wintered steers off the grass
brought $3.50 on different days, and
cake fed Texas steers in the quaran-
tine division brought 500. Buyers
| have been complaining that grass cat.
| tie have been costing more hung up
than corn fed cattle, and as there was
a fair supply of grass cattle at all
points last week they proceeded to
equaliZe values by trimming off 100
Poe. Quarantine cattle below the top
grades also received this treatment.
1t is said that the lower grades are in
for further declines if the run the bal
ance of the month will permit it. but
dealers do not believe supplies will
be large enough for buyers to accom-.
plish much in the pounding line The
market is strong to tlc higher here
today, under the inhueA e of the mod
crate run of 1000 head. Stockers
and feeders are up 10@20c today, fol-
lowing a slow week, with closing
prices Friday 15M25c lower for the
week. Most sales of these range from
$3.75@5.25. The run of quarantine cat
tie here today foots up 147 carloads,
including "a loads from Texas. Steer
sales in the quarantine division ranged
from $4.25M5.75, including II cars OF
South Texas grassers at $685.. Middle |
grades of native grass steers sell at
S5.4O@625; grass cows $3.25@450; |
top veals $500
Hogs became more scarce every day |
last week, and as receipts Gwindled !
the price went up. Closing prices were !
the highest of the week, and showed |
an average advance of 43c for the |
week. The run today again fell short. !
only 5000 head standing up to be |
out of an early estimate of
1900 The market advanced 10c today, |
ops selling at 1855, bulk of sale $745
d7.55 Top price in Chicago today is
same as top here. and bulk of sales
here runs from $7.20@755 today. The
extra keenness of buyers here is be-
,ause the run here is barely sufficient
o supply the fresh meat trade.
Sheep and lambs received severe j.
last week on account Of Il
zig run of grass sheep from the North
vest at Omaha and Chicago and the
of buyers there to estab-
ish a satisfactory basis for the grass
season. Run was not excessive here,
Is Utah has not commenced shipping
yrass sheep yet, most of our grass
heep coming from that state in the
all. The close of the week found best
ambs worth 1878, yearlings $3.50,
yethers $3.50, ewes $3.50, breeding
yves $2.75@3.5O, feeding lambs $3.50
These prices are effective today; run
900 head; market steady.

Sketch Of John w. Gates.

ituresque character than John w
Gates, the millionaire plunger wht
died in Paris this morning. He wa!
only fifty-siX years old, yet he hat
been before the public so long tina
he was generally regarded as a mucl
older man. He was born on a farm
near Turner Junction (now West Chi
cago, Ill) in 1855, the son of Asel L
and Mary G. Gates, and educated
chiefly in country schools.
His father owned and conducted d
small hardware store in the village OF
his birth, and young Gates in the late
/ seventies became the owner and con
lductor of the same establishment
/ Through James d. Laying, general
manager of the Chicago & Northern
railroad, young Gates became inter
ested in barbed wire and engaged with
large firm to be its salesman in
Texas. where he learned that the pos.
itless.
Gates came to Texas, made friends
with all the ranchmen whom he per.
suaded that it was to their advantage
to buy barbed wire in large quantities
to enclose their properties to prevent
the cattle from straying, and was soon
recognized as the most successful com.
mercial traveller that ever entered the
state Mr. Gates undoubtedly could
have accumulated large fortune
through his yearly savings had he
chosen to remain a salesman. He pre-
ferred to take his pay in commissions
and his fees were large.
But the order of his intellect and
temperament led him into a kindred,
somewhat advanced, field of
operation. He had become known to
the great merchants, to the bankers
and to the manufacturers of st. Louis,
who regarded him with considerable
curious interest. because of his great
as a salesman in Texas and
the Southwest.
Gates gained the idea that he could
make more money manufacturing
barbed wire than selling it, so he in
terested a number of capitalists in his
Scheme-the germ of the idea out of
which the United States Steel Corpora
ton grew. He was not thirty years
Did when he organized the Southern
Wire Company, which was later con-
soldiated with two other companies |
That was at a time when the Carnegie |
Steel Company was gaining pre-emi |
hence among American steel and iron |
Later, as his interests |
increased, he organized the American |
Wire & Steel Company, out of which
grew the United States Steel Corpora
ion.
1t is said that Mr.. Gates was terribly |
as well as mortified, at
lot being elected director of the
United States Steel Corporation, an
election upon which he counted as one
# the chief recognitions Of his
as a business man. But
is said that the Morgan interests
considered Mr.. Gates too daring
peculator. 1t was only few weeks
fter that, though, that Gates had the
leasure of being revenged by making
he Morgans pay his own price for the
& Nashville railroad, whose
took he had secured quietly without
heir knowledge in such large blocks
hat he owned a controlling interest.
he history of that stroke is consid-
red one of the most sensational deals
n Wall street, and Gates gained sew
raj millions by the operation. He
lso gained increased enmity, hostility
nd criticism. Since that time Mr.
iates had been chiefly occupied in the
evelopment of large business enter
rises in Texas.

1t is not only unjust but downright
mean to attempt to hold Governor Col
quit responsible for the depleted con-
dition of the state treasury. 1t is the
result of a bungling attempt of his
predecessor to make political capital
for himself by reducing the tax rate
below percentage that would pay
current expenses. The people of
Texas know this and can not be mis-
led from placing the responsibility
where it belongs.

Colonel Roosevelt does not deny
that the law was violated in the alb
sorption of the Tennessee Coal & Iron
Company by the United States Steel
Corporation, but claims that the end
justified the means. In other words,
he claims that he, as president, had
a right to grant an indulgence. This is
machiavellianism with a vengeance.

CONTRIBUTED BY COMMERCIAL
SECRETARIES ASSOCIATION

Money paid into a commercial club
is not a donation but an investment,
and the greater the investment in a
business enterprise the more interest
the individual making the investment
will take. AS a rule, the fault-fnder
in the membership of a commercial
is the man who is either
too stingy or too mean to want his
town to grow. If it is not this, he is so
selfish that he thinks if il does grow
he will have competition and that he
can not hold his own.
