national parks constitute ideal recrea-

seriously retarded by the lack of ade-
quate roads and trails, and until suffi-
eient money is appropriated for be-
ginning a comprehensive plan of de-

of rendering the important public use
for which they are intended. 1t is the
intention of the department to make

The responsibility for the future con-
duct of the national parks must rest

feels that the financial needs of these
should be clearly pre-

Kansas city stock Yards, Dec. g.
Liberal marketing of short fed steers
last week caused q slight reduction in
prices on fair to good ones, which
formed the bulk of the run. Other
markets also had heavy runs OF fed
cattle. which made the decline OF 10

classes of cattle held up steady. The
run here today is 10000 head, some
what larger than was expected, and
the majority of the supply is again of
the short fed variety. y fair degree
of finish has been put on most Of the
offerings, sales ranging from $500 to
$3.50 today These cattle are max
ing money for the feeders so far
hence there is a disposition to replace
them in feed lots; and tura the same
trick again. Therein is found some
difficulty, as Indicated by an advance
of 10 cents on feeding steers today,
account of the. strong demand for
them, and the relative scarcity, while
the killing cattle are selling barely
steady. Shipmeas to the country from
here last week footed up $4,000 head,
as compared with $4,000, and best
feeders $3.50, partly finished steers
going u the country up 10 $500. These
are the highest prices ever paid for
commercial cattle, the best a year
ago selling around $5.75. Range cat
tie are about all in. the season clos.
Ing with beef steers up to $7.Sa, cows
