W6lRHl bLCCIS anu UuJCHCi SlduCp. Packers are willing to buy any thing they can turn, but they say the heavy cuts are slow to move at consuming centers, and their chief inquiry is therefore for cattle that will produce the light weight cuts, something from which a twenty. five or thirty cent steak can be cut that will be a little thicker than a razor blade. Heavy steers have sold around steady all week, and stockers and feeders still sell close up to prices for killing cattle. Best steers this week brought $660, a fair number at $6.25 to $6.40, bulk at $575 to $6.20, cows at $4 co to $5 %, heifers $4.75 to $6.25, bulls $4.00 to $5. 25, calves $500 to $8.75. The month of January will show a respectable gain in cattle, calves, sheep and horses, and a small increase in hogs, over same month a year ago. Traders figure on gains for the first six months of this year, but beyond that the question is open. At this time re- ceipts and outlet for all kinds of stock are pretty well balanced.
 Hogs this week 47 300. last week 47.800, same week last year 57,600. The market has received some jolts this week, but is showing some come back quality to-day, 5 to 10 higher, tops at $7.75 bulk $765 to $770. A feature this week is the strength shown by light weights, and the weakness of the heavies. In fact, heavies have sank back to last place, butchers and mixed next and lights at the top. Of course, the range is still narrow, but with the tendency of owners to feed for weight, which is a money making proposition with corn as cheap as it is, the margin against heavy hogs is likely to increase.
 Sheep this week 1900, last week 43,7O0, same week last year 29,700. The market has declined 15 to 25 cents this week, applied  to all kinds, both sheep and lambs. Best lambs are closing the week around $6.00, which is as much or more than they are bringing at any of the markets. even right up to the markets in the East, at Buf- falo and Toronto. Yearlings are worth SAYS to $5.50, according to weight, weighters to-day at $435 for tops, ewes worth $4.00 to $4.25. Some business has been done the last two weeks in feeding lambs, at $5.50 to $5.60, and some feeding wethers from New Mexico sold at $400 this week. Most of the lambs to feeders have served a term in a feed lot already this season, but are not quite ripe for the packers yet.

 Clifton Copper Era: About two weeks ago Len Scott of Morenci bought the entire Adam Sleiger ranch outfit and cattle on Squaw creek, about 20 miles north of Clifton. This week MT. Sleiger purchased the upper Ira Harper ranch for a sum said to be over $1O,0O0 This is one of the finest ranches of the upper country, on which there is an excellent fruit orchard, modern residence and many other improvements. They have also bought from w. T. Richards a nice cottage home in north Clifton. The Sleiger family will move into the Harper place this week, and Adam will begin to get the farm ready for the spring crops.
 VI Clifton Copper Era: Elmer Montgomery, of the Eagle creek country, came in Saturday with the hindquarters of a 700 pound bear which he sold to the Clifton market. The hunter had bruin located for several weeks under a shelving rock where he remained in hiding during the daytime. Last Friday Montgomery got into a position commanding the cave and commenced pumping lead into the big night marauder among the Double Circle cattle. He fired fourteen bullets into the animal before he succumbed some of which didn't pierce more than three or four inches under the hide. Elmer got his hide, meat and lard which altogether, including the bounty, will net him more than a hundred dollars.

SHE KNEW vIReINIA's LAWS
How Maiden Lady Of the Old Domln-
Ion Saved Her Lawn From the
Road Builders.

II women ever come to sit on the
bench in old Virginia, there's a mall
den lady living on her ancestral acres
just across the Potomac from Wash
ington who can qualify for the job.
Recently realty company bought
tract Of land the other side Of her
property and plated 1t into suburban
lots. Desiring ready access to the
capital, they instituted proceedings to
run public road through the old
lady's land; worse, as she learned,
the projected road would cut right
through the prettiest part of her trim
lawn, dear with its memories OF her
childhood.
She consulted her lawyer, only to
be told there was no help for 1t,
since private property may, under the
law, be condemned for public use. no
matter how unwilling an indignant
owner may be.
Far from resigning herself to the
ruthless inroad on her cherished lawn,
the old lady buried herself in the
musty law library handed down from
q dhClSnI duCtblOl, OnCS u pi
Judge in the Old Dominion.
When some days later party of
surveyors appeared with stakes and
chains to lay out the line of road, they
found the owner, spade in hand, just
setting out the last of phalanx of
young apple trees squarely in front
of the lawn and right in the line of
the proposed highway.
'Tf you set foot inside this orchard"
she said defiantly to the astonished
surveyors, ''Ill have you all thrown
out and then arrested for trespass."
With that she called up half dozen
trusty young countrymen waiting be-
hind the barn for the summons.
What does all this mean?" asked
the leader of the surveying party, in
whose contract there had been no
mention of fighting. I'VE are survey
ing for public road and can go any
where"
nywhere-except through an or
chard!" exclaimed the old lady, pull
ing musty volume from under her
apron. Its been the law in Virginia
since the days of Patrick Henry that
you can't run even public road
through an orchard, so you stay out!"
The old lady had dug up an ancient
law unknown to modern attorneys,
confounded her opponents and saved
her lawn,

Nothing for Nothing.

1t was said by all the neighbors of
Mr.. Quinchley that he had never been
known to give away anything in his
life. He either sold it, or demanded
something in exchange. On one oc-
casion he was making long journey.
The seat directly In front of him was
occupied by a man who had been
coughing and sneezing at frequent in
tervals for more than an hour. AT
last Mr.. Squinchley leaned forward
and spoke to him.

you want to seal letter; the wax
melts and drops off, and when you
have got enough for your seal you
blow out the flame. A sealing wax

gas has greater lifting power, 1000
cubic feet of 1t lifting from 60 to 70
