II Is an old saying that YOU never miss the

said that carpenter invariably lives in the most
inconvenient house. shoemaker wears the worst
shoes, a tailor the poorest clothes In other
words, those who by reason of being in a position
to have the best in these matters are the most in
different regarding them.
Cedar City is blessed with an abundance of
coal, inexhaustible quantities on every hand
Three different mines. operated by different in
dvidual owners. are open and supply what coal is
obtained by the public. The plan of supplying
the people is not at all satisfactory and steps
should be taken TO place the business on more
substantial. systematic basis. Throughout most
of the summer when the weather is ideal and the
roads 70 the mines in good condition. very little if
anything is done TO prepare for the demand that
comes with fall and winter. And as a result many
people are incovenienced and disappointed, having
to wait unnecessarily in many instances for
several weeks for fuel.
There is a splendid opportunity for some
enterprsiDg company or individual TO establish a
coal yard in the city, and by operating q mine
during the summer and accommodating reserve
of several hundred tons. be in opposition to sup

stated that if satisfactory arrangements could be

Last Thursday the city council

period from February %, to No
vember 80, fines in the sum of
$40 had been assessed against
various defendants. of which
5000 was lost by reversal in the
district court, and $25 is still
uncollected, the cause for which
it was assessed being scheduled
for trial in the appellate court.
During the period Al persons
were arraigned, of whom "a
were convicted and z acquitted.
Amended ordinances respect
ing the speed of self-propelled
vehicles and intoxication were
duly passed. The ordinances as

Respecting Taxation.

The recommendations madb by the state
board of equaiz ton to the governor are of spacia
concern to the outside counties of the state.
Should che changes urged in the report be made,
many of the outlying counties of the state would
be greatly affected in their revenues particularly
those cortaning considerable property of public
sevice corporations.
Among other changes suggested is one that
Che assessed valuation of pubc-service property
be deducted from the total value of all taxable
and the revenues from such property
distributed among the several counties according
Ia the value of the remaining property. This
wauld mean that the larger, wealhtier counties
would get the lions share of the taxes and the
smssler counties would lose large portion of the
taxes now received from such property. AS to
the cther recommendations contained in the re-
port. most of them are good and should be adopt
ed especial the suggestion that the term of
county assessors should be increased from two to
four years and that the taxation Of similar property
be given similar values throughout the state. this
to be efrerte by giving the board of equalization
sther and greater powers than it now enjoys.

Keeney is to be represented this year
in the All-Valley football squad by
Harry Burnham, who has been chos-

just as good tackle as guard, but was
preferred in the latter position.

this was his first year. He excelled
all the guards in getting down the
field under punts, and in forming in

MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, Dec. 10,
1912. A liberal supply OF fed steers
here today caused that class to sell
weak to sell weak to little lower,
following a similar market on them
yesterday. Butcher grades found a
ready outlet at steady prices today,
and stock cattle and feeders sold
strong, the market in all respects
very much like that of yesterday.
The strength in country grades of
cattle is caused by good ordinary
demand for that kind, augmented by
the desire of feeders who have sold
their first feeding of cattle to replace
them with other cattle in the empty
feed lots. AS long as the cattle re-
ceipts run as much to beef as they do
this week packer buyers will not do
much riding In the feeder division of
the yards, else country buyers would
have extreme difficulty in finding
suitable feeding cattle. Under pres
ent conditions they can be found, in
sufficient numbers to SATISFY those
who hove the nerve to go against the
heavy interest and tax expences in
yolyed. Shipments to the country
from here last week $4,000 head,
same week last year 10000 head.
Cattle receipts today total Is, 600 head,
same number received yesterday. a
run slightly above normal for this
season here Best steers brought
S1O.50 today, bulk of 80 day or less
cattle 800 to $3.50, quarantine fed
cattle $500 to $3.50, low grade south
ern stuff s3.5G is $500, bulls $3.50 to
Sc. 90, calves 81. 90 to $1,000
Hog supplies today footed up p, 900
head, market 10 lower, packers top
s7.75, though spectators paid s7.85
early, bulk s7.55 to s7.75. Packers
are making a big fight for lower
prices this week, as the present range
is too high to permit of profitable, or
at least safe packing. However,
fresh meat demand absorbs nearly all
the run anyway
Receipts sheep and lambs today here
are 1000 head, market 10 to Is high
er. Some lambs sold at S7.90 yester-
day, others at s7.85 today, and there
seems no question about the eight
dollar market for lambs this month
that was promised to feeders by com
mission men when they were buying
their feeding stock Choice light

good profit TO the producer, and a
