NORFOLK WINS
VIII Be Headquarters Of Consolidated
Customs District of Virginia.

Norfolk, Va, March 6.-Norfolk's
victory for supremacy m the customs
consolidation project as promulgated
by President Taft was complete and
this city will be headquarters Of the
Consolidated Customs District of Vir-
ginia, effective July 1st. Republican
National Committeeman, Alvah II.
Martin, who remained in Washington
until the President had finally acted
in the matter, found it necessary to
make two personal appeals to Mr..
Taft. after the others of the Norfolk
committee left in order to bring
about the final victory which made
Norfolk an individual port and gave
her supremacy by designation as the
chief port of entry for the State
with headquarters hsre. Mr.. Martin
was much satisfied with the result.
The consolidation means that the
lG5 customs districts Of the country
! arc reduced to 40 and that the A.
Collectors of Customs 30 preside over
these districts will be named by Pres
ideat Wilson in time for them to as
sume office on July 1st.
The only thing that could prevent
this would be action by the new Con-
erass, which convenes in extra session
April 1st, and approved of such action
bv President Wilson.
The consolidation project was an
economy measure put through in th'
las. Democratic Congress and the rid
or 20 the general deficiency bill off
ercI in the Senate on Sunday last was
kid in the House by reason Of the
oprogitionof Democratic Leaders I'M

seen to be little chance OF any change

PORTLAND STOCK MARKET.

North Portland, Ore, Sept 26, 1913.
Gentlemen: Receipts for the week
have been: Cattle, 1892; calves, 10;
hogs, 1888; sheep, 1865; horses, 26.
Sentiment in the cattle market has
not been such as to warrant optimism
recently. While receipts have not to-
tailed so much as week ago, there
has been more than enough beef to
supply trade needs. The $500 steer
has been displaced at least temper
arily, and extreme top quotation is
$3.50 to $775. Butcher quality failed
to attain the high standard of six days
ago and prices on COWS were general
ly lower. Prime helrers at $500, cows
$675, bulls at $3.50 and calves at $500
are liberal price tops Demand for
any but choice finished acttle is slow
and outlet very unsatisfactory.
Dumping the hog market is not
proving as easy task as buyers an
ticipated. No other explanation is
needed than supply paucity. Statis-
tically the market is 10 to Is cents
higher than it was week since and
prime light swine are resting around
$S.75. Some fairly good lots brought
$3.50 to $3.50 and $50 too, and
smooth WelSnty Stufl moved readily
$3.50 to $7.75. If receipts for the
week had been larger, perhaps more
active market would have held forth,
but growers are not rushing to mar
ket as yet and liquidation is spasmod-
ic. OF course hogs are beginning to
carry more weight, as winter APP
proaches and quality will be better
packing proposition eventually I'm
til receipts become steady enough to
deluge the trade, swine prices have

good chance to range between $500
and $3.50.
Mutton and lamb liquidation contin-
ued liberal last week and there was so
much real fat killing stuff in the run,
buyers did not have the nerve to shade
bids Choice mountain wethers sold
$500 to $4.25 and ewes at $4.0O Pack
ers took to the lamb offerings in great
style, bidding 1925 for all the best
ones. Pessimists said the market
would quickly subside to $500 if too
many lambs were liquidated this
week. but they were disappointed
However, the trade is not so short
handed on lambs and mutton as it was
ten days ago and buyers may not man
ifest SO much interest during the re-
mainder of September if liquidation is
abnormally large.

TO CUT 1000 TONS
OF ALFALFA HAY

Rapid City, S. D.-That diversified
farming in this section pays is indie
ated by the experiments of Charles
B. Hunt, the banker of Wasta east
of here. Mr.. Hunt owns 1900 acres
near there of which 225 is planted to
alfalfa and from which he is now
making his first cutting. He expects
a yield of 1000 tons of alfalfa hay
this summer. He also has 60 acres
in oats, 10 acres in cane. 5 acres in
potatoes, 2 acres in melons and e v
eral acres in peanuts, sweet potatoes,
teosimite corn and cherry trees, all
of which are doing we'll. His ranch is
also stocked with cattle, hogs and
several hundred chickens. He irrigat-
es with a pumping system from the
Cheyenne river and has five miles of
bitches and some laterals. Last year
his alfalfa and melons Melted him
$1,000 cash and Mr.. Hunt believes
that in two years his ranch will yield
him from $4,000 to $4,000 annu-
ally.

TO TAX EXPRESS
LINES MONDAY
STATE COMMISSION WILL ASSESS
RAILROAD AND TELEPHONE
LINES AT LATER DATES
IN THE MONTH.

Pierre, S. D.=While the state re-
venue laws fix certain dates for max
ing assessments of different classes
of corporate property, it has been the
custom in the past for the state
board to adjourn these meetings SO
that the work of assessment all came
up at one meeting. But the new tax
commission Will take up the different
classes OF property on the dates for
that work. Express and sleeping car
companies will come the first Mon
day in July; railway assessments on
the third Monday, and telephone and
telegraph companies on the fourth
Monday. The action of the board OF
general property, and equalization
work will begin the first Monday in
August, and will probably keep the
commission pretty busy for the most
of that month. In fact after the tnllu
Monday in July when they take up
the work of assessment of railway
property they will be fairly busy at
headquarters until they complete the
equalization work ONE time in An
gust, if it can be finished in a month.

EMERY MAN DIES
WHILE ON TRAIN
NICHOLAS AREND, WE'LL KNOWN
HANSON COUNTY MAN, EN-
PIRES ON WAY TO HOSPI-
tai.

Alexandria, S.. D.-This commun-
ity was severely shocked when word
was received here early SATURDAY
cry had died a little past midnight
that morning on the train between
Bard and Mitchell, while on his way
to tse sanitarium at Chamberlain for
treatment for an attack of stomach
trouble from which he had been suf-
fering since early in the week. Mr..
Arend's condition had not been con-
sidered serious by his friends, al
though he had been confined to his
bed since Monday of this week, and
not until late in the day Friday was
be removed to a sanitarium for treat
ment, and no one thought the end
was so near. The deceased came to
this county from the vicinity of Du-
buque, Iowa, in the early eighties
settling upon a farm of 800 acres
two miles east and south of Alexan-
dria, where the family resided until
a few years ago when, in company
with a brother, Joseph Arend, he en-
gagged in the mercantile business at
Emery under the firm name of Artnd
Bros, and where his home has been
up to the time of his death. His body
was returned to the family home at
Emery on the 10 o'clock train Satur-
day morning, and the funeral servic-
es were conducted from st. Mary's
church of this city at 10 O'Clock this
morning. Mr.. Arend is survived by
the widow, one son, and n daught-
er and three brothers, Peter, of AL
exandria, Joseph of Emery and James
of Iowa. Mr.. Arend was a highly re-
spected citizen and his sudden and
untimely death has removed n OF
the most useful. e~nterprising and
honorable citizens of this county.

The largest attendance of the peo
pie OF the community was present at
the meeting of the Prosper Township
Farmers club held Friday. evening OF
any meeting that this organization
has held up to date. Many found If
impossible to get in this school house,
Prof. Jones gave his lecture on
The Dairy Cow. He highly recon
mends the Holstein as the COW that
should be owned by the South Da-
kota farmers. This breed of cattle
with the aid of alfalfa and the silo
will put the farmer in much better
than the growing of small
grain especially if there should come
a dry year, he says. Prof. Jones is
much interested in the dairy COW and
gives a practical talk along this line.
He offered to test the milk for the
farmers of the vicinity free of charge
IL they will provide him with sam
pies. The slides with which the talk
is illustrated makes it one of the
most practical aud instructive talks
that has been given.
