WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Sept. s. |
-Ninety-five thousand cattle were re.
ceived here last week, of which over
one half were classed at stock cat
tie and feeders. This large number
Of thin cattle was handled in a re-
markable way, the end Of the week
finding less than 5000 cattle in the
yards. Price on thin cattle showed
some loss at the end of the week,
best grades 10 to Is lower, the mid
die grades quarter lower, and cheap
cattle S5 to 60 lower. The supply of
killing cattle was taken at the mod
crate reduction of 10 to 25 cents on
those below prime, which kind re-
mained steady. The efficient way
in which the enormous supply was
handled must be credited to the wide.
spread desire to either get into cat
tie or stay in. The demand for the
immature animals came from all the
states from West Virginia to Idaho.
A train of % cars of cheap stocker
steers went to Utah, 5 cars of cows
to Montana, feeders to Michigan,
with Iowa, Missouri and Illinois, Of
course, the heaviest buyers, total out
go to the country aggregating $4,000
head. Receipts today are 2lOOO cat
tie, market steady on killing kinds,
except quarantine cattle which are
strong, and strong to unevenly high
er on stock cattle and feeders. There
are many bare spots for cattle in Iowa
and Illinois yet, and Ohio and Indiana
are badly in need of cattle, insuring
an almost unlimited opportunity for
immature cattle from dry sections to
continue their mission of beef max
ing in moore favored localities. Prime
heavy steres sold at $40 today, and
while prophecy for a rise in Septem-
Der has not been verified it is still
INDUCED by commission men. Kan
sas grass cattle sell to killers at $50
to 7.9O, quarantine steers 5.25 up to
$50, some corn fed Quarantines to-
day at S.25. Stock steers sell large
ly at $50 to 7.35, feeders 5.75 to
$50. Butcher stuff sells well, and
veal calves are higher, best at 1000.
Hogs turned upward middle of last
week, and continue their course to-
day, 10 cents higher, receipts 5000.
Order buyers make runaway mar
ket on the opening each day, paying
$50 to S.95 today, packers paying $40
to $50 for the hogs they secured.
Local prices are running well above
other river points, and also above Chi
cago, account Of the strong order de-
mand.
Sheep and lambs broke badly the
first half of last week but have held
steady since, including today. The re-
ceipts today are 1900. Good to choice
Utah lambs bring $50 to $50, ewes
around $50 to 400, feeding lambs at
$50 to 6.75. Natives usually Jack
quality and sell somewhat under the
above prices. j. A. RlCkART,

contemplate emigrating to America
with conditions as they exist; third,
those who do come should be met, not
in spirit of hostility, but in a spirit
of cooperation. We do not want them
exploited that the powerful among us
may become more powerful, nor will
we stand for exploitation on our own
account. 1t is our duty to make it
plain to them what it has cost us to
establish the standard of living we
now enjoy and that present conditions
can only be maintained, future hopes
realized, through their support and CO.
operation Labor on the Pacific coast
cannot and will not stand for the use
of immigration as club to wrench
greater profits to the employer at the
expense of American ideals and ac-
complishments. Means of prevention
must be found and it is the province
of the coming Portland conference to
soberly and earnestly consider those
means.

BON MARCHE PLACED UN-
FAIR.

By unanimous vote and without de-
bate the Everett Trades Council last
Friday evening placed the Bon Marche
department store on the Unfair List.
The action followed a stirring expose
of conditions imposed upon the en-
ployes of that house by Bros. Taylor,
Mitchell, Payne and Richmond of Sc
attic. The big Seattle house was
placed on the Unfair List by the Sc
attic Central Council after negotia-
tions covering period of weeks had
been carried on to unionize it and
raise the pitifully low wage scale paid
to a point where the women and girls
could live at least decently
There is no excuse for the wages
paid in the Bon Marche and many
other department stores in our larger
cities. With exceptional facilities for
buying, with every branch of the busi-
ness highly systematized, common
sense would seem to say that they
should be able to set the pace for
smaller establishments in the way of
wages paid. 1t seems to be the rule,
however, that the more highly system
atized a business becomes, the more
the unholy desire for illegal profits
becomes, and a living wage is the last
consideration.
The wives of Everett unionists do
not as rule spend much of their
money with outside houses and it is a
lead pipe cinch that the Bon Marche
will get none of it in the future.

THE GAME is ON.

Promptly at $50 this morning the
BARRIERS and court house employees
meet in deadly combat at Robbins
Park. Interest in the engagement is
at white heat and everybody who can
take advantage of the holiday will be
out to root for their favorite team.
Whether there will be ambulances
enough in town to care for the dead
and wounded is a question as it is
expected that the casualties will be
large. Each side is much wrought up
over the possibility of ringers as it is
rumored that two former big leaguers
are working at the barber trade in
disguise while two or three more have
found special clerkships" at the court
house. The rules of the game are that
any player with actual baseball ex-
perience will be banished to the
bleachers and a corps of sleuths have
been engaged to ferret out the deep,
dark past of any player showing un-
due familiarity with the national
pastime. The lineup for the BARRIERS
as given to the Journal just before 60
ing to press is as follows:
Rehm, Van Patterns shop, pitcher;

win Sheriff McRae will be set back
about two months salary and that
catastrophe must be averted for Mac

miXup this morning, believe us.

SUPERVISORS f|NO DIARIES
OF VALLEY ARE SANITARY

The report Of the cimmittee investi-
eating the inspection of dairies made
its report to the board Of supervisors
yesterday. This investigation was
brought about through the passing of
resolution by portion Of the county
federation of wOmen's clubs, through
charges made by Supervisor Shepard
prior to his election, and on account
of an article appearing in the Imperial
Enterprise, which quoted Mr.. Shepard
as stating that the dairies were not
clean or sanitary.
The investigation was made by DR..
Rogers, dairy inspector: Supervisor
Shepard as chairman of the dairy COM
mttee OF the board. and Dr. McCOmbs,
county health officer and consisted of
a detailed inspection of 40 dairies and
three creamerieS. The report showed
that in one instance only were flies
found in the separator and the cream
, from this dairy was thrown upon the
ground.
In a second case the general sanitary
conditions We're not good, but the
cream was Salcable. In every other
case the dairies We're found in good
condition and sanitary. In practically
every case all pals, separator parts, and
! all other milking utensils which come
in direct contact with the milk We're
found thoroughly cleaned and in excel
lent condition. The worst condition to
