Kansas City Market Report

Kansas City Stock Yards, July 3,
1911
The national holiday tomorrow cut
no figure in the cattle receipts here
today, although Chicago had only
about half normal Monday run.
The market gained 10 to 25 cents last
week, and sales today are strong to
10 higher, with the best fed steers at
S6.65 here today. More than half the
fed steers are selling above six dol
lars, and wintered steers from native
pastures sold here today at $3.50 to
S6.10, a good deal the best they have
done heretofore this summer. The
run of quarantines here today is
moderate, at 165 car loads, and sales
in that division are stronger, follow
ing an advance of 25 cents last week.
Top quarantine steers sold at S. 40
today, and middle weight steers sell
in that division at S4.25 to S4. .85.
Stockers and feeders did not hold up
last week as well as killing grades,
the week closing low on country
grades in some cases. Today the
market in the Stocker and feeder
division is off Is to 25 cents, and
some dealers say prices are half
dollar under ten days ago. INSULT
cient rains, and fear of continued
droughty conditions are acting for
chilly against the market on country
grades. Stock yearlings sold at S3.4O
to 1915 today, the best stockers up
to S4. rs, feeders at 81. 25 to $500.
Calves are 25 lower today, best veals
$3.50, heavy calves S4OO to $3.50.
Native cows range from 81 40 to
$500, heifers $4. 25 to 6.25, bulls $500
to S4.75, quarantine cows 50. rs to
81. 90.
Buyers tried to put hogs down the
first of last week, but with small sue
cess, and the week closed a little
higher than the best point in the
previous week. The run today was
light, 1000 head, and prices advanc-
ed 10 to 20 cents, top S6.72, bulk 1856
to So TO- Receipts of hogs here in
June this year amounted to 337, ,65S
head, the greatest number ever re-
ceived here for the month of June.
The average weight for the month
was 1877 lbs, as compared with 209
y
taken to Indicate that no great re-
serve is being held in the country,
therefore bulliSh sign.
Sheep and lambs made big gains
last week, and advanced 10 to 25
cents again today. Spring lambs
brought S7.35 today, and yearlings
S5. 90, wethers worth $3.50, ewes sold
today at S4.O0. Texas and Arizona
are not contributing many to the
total, and native territory is not fur
nishing very many, run 5000 here
today. Dry weather stuff is hard to
sell, and while there is a good mar
ket for fat stuff, common and thin
kinds are slow to move, at very mean
prices.

Some Unheeded Laws

Did you know that the new game
law makes it unlawful to kill the
squirrels except between September
1st and January 1st? Well, it is a
good thing to know. Under the for
mer law there was no closed season
on squirrels, although the framer of
the former law had intended that
there should be. But in drawing up
the law he described the squirrel as
'the red squirrel" and he should
have described the ordinary Kansas
squirrel as ''the fox SQUIRREL" under
the new law it is unlawful to kill any
other kind of a squirrel but the fox
squirrel at any time during the year,
and the fox squirrel can only be
killed between the dates named.
Also, ladies, did you know that un-
der the new Kansas game law it is
unlawful to wear birds on your hat
or any other part of the plumage of
song birds. Well, the law says that
it is unlawful to kill any of the song
birds, except a few of them under
certain conditions for the protection
of grain or of orchards, and to even
have any part of such birds in ones
possession. And it specifically pro-
videS that it does not make any diff
ference whether the birds were killed
in the state or outside of the state

HARD-UP BOND ELECTION

~ & =
Next Monday, July 10, is the day
set for voting on the proposition to
issue city bonds in the sum of $1,000
for the purpose of paying indebted
ness contracted in the construction
and operation of the electric light
plant and water works. If this
means debts already incurred, we
are opposed to the issue and more
especially if it applies to operation"
expenses. An issue of bonds at this
time for the purpose of meeting cur
rent Indebtedness appears to us to be
both unwise and unnecessary. If the
bonds were to be used for the pur-
pose of extending water mains and
fire protection to those citizens not
already in reach of them, or for the
purpose of giving day and night
electric light service, we should look
upon the issue with more favor. But
these bonds cannot be SO used under
the terms of the proclamation and
the ordinance calling the election.
With 81, 100 in the general fund,
and 81, 100 in the interest fund, and
to the city statement of June Is; and
with $500 in the county treasury to
the credit of the city July 1, and
with more than S4O0 July water col
lections, and S75 per month from the
railroad, extra; and also S75 per
quarter from the county for water
and light; and from $50 to S120 per
month from the sale of electric cur
rent to private customers. Well,
with all this it appears that the city
is not so awfully hard up after all.
1t is also evident that the income
from the light plant and water works
will pay all operation expenses,
and more, and has done so for the
last year.
The city has had offers from out
side brokers to take city warrants at
par, and to carry them at five or six
per cent interest. Perhaps such dis
poSal of city warrants could be made
at this time. OF course a great deal
depends upon the reputation of the
city abroad; its debt-paying ability
and disposition-an intangible but
very valuable asset; also upon the
PhOAOAoSO given " WdISI anu
plants by private citizens and Off
cials, and the inducements offered to
citizens to promote increased patro-
mage, etc.
The current Indebtedness of the
city can be paid off within two years
without increasing taxes. The same
city levy which was made last year,
if continued two years longer, and on
the assessed valuation of this year,
will produce more than $4,000 Our
current indebtedness, under econom-
ical administration, need not be in
creased. The public improvements
which were needed and made last
year, and which we are now paying
for, will not have to be made again
We shall not have to pay for them
twice, unless we saddle them upon
the city in the form of long term,
Understanding bonds. And that, in
our humble opinion, is unwise and
unnecessary unjust. Others
should do as they think best. but for
our part we shall vote against the
bonds and shall cheerfully pay any
additional tax which such action
may entail. Whether city warrants
can now be sold at par we do not
know, but the proposition is worth
consideration and investigation.

Wa-keeney. S; Mccracken, o

Last Tuesday, the Fourth of July,
all the base ball cranks of the city
and vicinity went to Ransom to
spend the day and witness the base
ball game between Wa-Keeney and
McCracken it being the drawing card
of the celebration.
1t was a good game with honors
even up to the fourth inning when
Wa-Keeney landed onto Farmer"
Furry, the McCracken pitcher, and
with errors piled up four runs to
their credit.
Mattsen pitched gilt-edged ball for
Wa-Keeney and was very effective in
pinches. Several times McCracken
had the bases full but he always
pulled out of the hole in good shape.
Wa-Keedey made another run in
sixth inning.
Henkel, for the home team, played
the game of his life in right field and
at the bat put some af the heavy
hitters of the Giants to shame.
Wa-Keeney played the best game
of the season so far and we look for
them to hand Cove a lemon in
their next game which will be played
in the near future.
The following is the score:

S. E. Campbell, who lives two
miles southeast of town, har-
vested 100 acres of wheat which
he thought might yield 1000
bushels. He threshed last week
and missed his guess-he had
1,5O0 bushels of good wheat, ex-
cellent for seeding purposes.
Mr.. Simpson, living east of
town, also had several acres
which averaged IL bushels per
acre. These are not bumper
yields, but they will do pretty
well for a year of ''total'' fail

POLICE COURT NEWS

Last Monday evening the small
boy also the large boy observed the
Fourth by shooting fire crackers. An
old ordinance was dug up no doubt
passed in the boom days of Wa-Kee-
ney, which makes it unlawful to keep
on sale or to fire any explosive of any
kind within the limits of the city of
Wa-Keeney. w. w. Bertran was
hired by the council to watch the
boys and find out who did the shoot
ing. Wednesday morning he swore
out warrants against five young men
and two small boys. The casses were
tried before Police Judge Swiggett
Wednesday afternoon. Bertran was
the complaining witness and Herman
Long represented the city. The
young men plead not guilty but
were each fined S3 and costs, Sc in all.
They appealed their cases. The
small boys plead guilty and the
judge fined them but afterward re-
mitted their fines. The climax of
the day was reached when the mar
shall arrested a great big fellow (who
is able to knock a bull DOWN for max
ing an indecent remark about (acting)
marshal on the Fourth. The remark
was a casual one, but the fellow
plead guilty and he was fined $5 and
trimmings amounting to S8
Justice in police court is usually
a farce. Not long ago we were fined
the sum of 81 and costs for trivial
offence when two-thirds of the resi-
dents of the town were violating the
same ordinance under which we
were fined. About year ago in this
court a fellow was fined only SO and
costs for laying in wait and beating a
fellow up. Tuesday a fellow made
casual remark and was fined So
and costs.
1t is fact justice in a police court
in small town is a farce and a graft.
7 Some how the gravity of the Of
fense of shooting a few big fire
crackers on the evening before the
Fourth is lost on us. There is scarce
ly a village or hamlet in all of this
country that does not have the same
enthusiastic demonstration and as
long as no harm is done and little
care is used we utterly fail to see
why there should be such an ado and
the city put to so much unnecessary
expense. We seem to be living in
strenuous times of the law but con-
sistency is a good thing to keep in
mind however. Ordinances are all
right but recently the more obsolete
they are the more likely they are to
be enforced. There is an ordinance
| that hogs cannot be kept in the city
limits but hogs go right on living
peacefully if extensively right under
peoples noses and the city does not
seem to object. We believe little
discrimination about now would be a
mighty good thing.
