Walter l. Smith. who recently be-
came judge Of the Eighth judicial cir
cult. enjoys good story even when It
Is at his own expense. He had
warm contest in the primaries when
he was candidate for reelection to
congress in 1910. his opponent being
one Of the insurgents. He had few
votes to spare for the nomination.
Before the election" said Judge
Smith. II wrote q letter to all the Re-
publicans In the district. In It l urged
them to come out and vote. saying
that 1900 Republicans failed to vote
at the primaries and that II they
failed to vote on election day 1t might
mean disaster to the party. asked
the person to whom the letter was ad-
dressed to vote and also to get his
neighbors to do the same. closing with
the statement that 1t would be a great
help to the Republican party and l
should regard 1t as a personal favor to
myself.

bad anything to say on the subject
and responded with the statement
that he was not public speaker, but
inasmuch as the evident object Of the
addresses made by the Harlowton
gentlemen was one to discredit him in
this community instead Of county di-
vision he desired to make statement
as to the matter published in the
journal of March end, and to which
the Harlowton people took such stren-
nous exception. The matter was pre-
pared with as much care as the infor-
nation at hand would warrant at
that time; that since that time he had
carefully Investigated the statistics
OF. new counties and old, and he was
sure the Harlowton people could find
no fault hereafter rs to the accuracy
of the statements that would be pub
lished in the Journal, and that he
felt confident they would prove more
disastrous to the division cause than
the tigur es published heretofore.
At this time, w. A. Barley of Ok
ford said: 1--WE want you people from
Harlow to understand that whate yer
Sam Small says in the Judith Gap
Journal is so, it is SO with us, wheth-
er it is so or not.''
Oscar Skeen wanted to make a
statement in regard to the accuracy
of the figures submitted in the Jour-
nal of March 22nd; that they had been
passed upon bv the commercial club
tand authorized to be published by
that body; that owing to the shortness
of time in which to collect the exact
figures, the amounts were given al
ways as approximately; that he could
not see anything 50 very far out Of
the way in the statements authorized
by the commercial club.
And this ended the meeting, and
we believe the divj sion movement at
this time. and the committee from
Harlowton were taken down town
and entertained. and sent ON their
way rejoicing.

TO COMPROMISE
ON JUDGE HUGHES

An article written by the political
expert of the New York Sun, appear.
ed in that newspaper Sunday. The
New York Sun is a spokesman for
the Wall street interests and "big
business" generally, and is a fanat-
zeal supporter of President Taft
against Theodore Roosevelt.
According to the Sun, potential re-
publican leaders friendly to the pres
ident have become convinced that,
even if he shall be nominated, he
cannot be elected. These leaders,
who believe their party to be Of.
vastly more Importance than any
man in it, no matter how exalted his
station" declare "they will take any
reasonable step which would seem to
insure victory in November"
And these leaders. says the Sun,
believe that the most reasonable step
would be to set aside Mr.. Taft and
nominate in his place Charles f.
Hughes, former governor of New
York and now an associate justice Of
the supreme court of the United
States.
Public disapproval Of the Taft adj
ministration's forcing through of the
Aldrich-Payne tariff bill and the ir-
reconcilable differences between Mr..
Taft and Colonel Roosevelt. are Civ.
en- by the Taft organ as the chief
reasons why the denomination of Mr.,
Taft would make democratic victory
in November inevitable.

tho rate has been reduced from 9: cents in
1906 to GO cents in 1910. or q reduction In
taxes of 81 per cent. although we have
issued bonds IN the sum OF $l.50O.00O In the
meantime.
There is one thing certain. and that
is that We must have money for road
building and that this money must be
raised by taxation Whether We adopt

the roads only us fast as the money
can be raised by taxation or issue

Shortage of Hogs Now

This country is experiencing a
shortage of hogs such as it has not
had for years. The shortage was
caused in part by the high price of
corn, which was the result of the
drouth last summer and by the great
scourge of hog cholera. The relative
price of corn and hogs has been such
for the last three or four years that
frequently the farmer was tempted
to sell the corn rather than raise
hogs.
The loss from cholera in all the
hog states last fall and winter was
the heaviest ever known" said H. j.
Waters, president of the Kansas
Agricultural College, yesterday. And
the spreading of the disease caused
thousands of hogs to be forced on
the market in an unfinished condi-
ton. They were thin and light.
Hogs that should not have been mar
keted until they weighed 225 pounds
or more were marketed when they
weighed $50 pounds or less.
Many brood sows were sold so that
the number of fall pigs was less than
usual These pigs will not be ready
for market until midsummer or next
fall. This springs pig crop was the
poorest in many years. The sows
were weak and the weather was bad
causing a heavy loss ranging from
20 to rs per cent of the pigs far
rowed The average of the country
this spring probably would be les !
than five pigs from every SOW.
at will take good corn crop next
fall and two years breeding to br Ing
the hog supply back to the norl nal
Heavy and very fat hogs are Sc lline
at a premium now, as they always dc
when corn is scarce or when there is
shortage of hogs. There is a
shortage of lard and heavy sides"
Twelve Berkshire sows wned by
the COlleSe IdTGOW6u IUo PIGS lnls
spring. They raised 50, making an
average of about seven pigs from
every SOW. Thirteen Dur oc sows far
rowed 1872 pigs. The Duroc sow'

Wheat Buying Almost Stops

portland, Ore, Sept. Wheat
ouylng came almost to a stop In the
Country markets at the close of the
week as the large buyers, having
covered their early requirements
Withdrew from the market. The
wheat that was bought by other deal
ers was taken at unchanged prices, 80
cents being paid for club, 81 cents for
forty fold and "a cents for bluestem.
Farmers offerings were not free.
oats and barley are strong, as it is
NuoWn the crop has been seriously
cut down by the recent storms. Feed
barley sold Saturday as high as
$1,000, ana for brewing $3.50 was
readily obtailnable. There are prac-
ideally no offerings for future oats,
owing to tho bullishness of holders.
spot oats are being quickly taken up
at $50.
IL Is believed the flour prices now
IN effect represent bottom. Some of
the milIers' are agitating the ques-
''oh OF an advance. Mill feed stocks
are accumulating and the market is
weak.
frequent reports of blighted potato
crops are coming in. The available
supply, however, is large and prices
are dragging, with no shipping de-
mand.
Peaches are still the feature of the
fruit market. Among Saturdays re.
ceipts was car of Yakima Crawfords
IN lug boxes which cleaned up quick
ly at 60 cents.
The week opened with an advance
OF / cent in creamery butter. Stocks
are kept closely sold up and the de-
mand is improving. Cheese is in light
supply and firm, but is not expected
to advance soon.
The best eggs are selling readily at
u cents, with the supply less than
the demand. Poultry is also selling
beltor and prices are gradually adj
Yancing y feature of the market is
the demand for spring turkeys,
Veal receipts last week were larger
than usual but We're not excessive
and the market held strong. Dressed
pork has been scarce for a month.
There is much uncertainty as to the
outcome of the hop harvest. The rain
is delaying picking and the hops in
some sections are showing the effect
of blight A number of yards that
were badly affected by mold have
been abandoned. A few of the deal
ers figure the total loss will be %
per cent, but this is probably an ex-
aggeration. The best yards, however,
are coming down heavy and the crop,
in size, may come up to expectations.
In the meantime, buyers are not TAX
ing hold, owing to the uncertainty
as TO the quality they will get.
