TO SAVE WALL LAKE.
Attorney General Suggests That
sportsmen Buy OF tho Contractor.

Mason City, Aug. 2S.-Attorney Cen
eral Cosson when in the city Sun
day, said: II have recommended to
those interested a course to pursue to
save Wall lake. The sportsmen of
Iowa can raise $4,000 and buy the
option of the man who has the right TO
drain Wall lake. The next session of
the legislation would appropriate
enough to repay this amount
The picture Of giving prospective
drainer Of Iowa lakes, who certainly is
not worthy such gift. $4,000 is surely
a hard pill for sportsmen TO swallow.
1t is blood money. But at that, il
seems the easiest and cheapest way
out of the difficulty. The next session
of the Legislature should be composed
of members who are patriotic in con-
serving Iowa's resources and who will
not allow themselves TO become in
VOWED in a wild cat law which aims
TO destroy such, and which is remedied
only by the gift of recompense of
large sum to the parties. unpatriotic
and unscrupulous enough to counte-
nance the thing.
Whether an adjoining property own
er on Wall lake could follow the high
water mark when the lake is drained
and thus grab a goodly piece Of the bed
of the lake dampening the spirits Of
the drainer, Mr.. Cosson gave his opin-
ion that this was impossible. as the
high water mark law defines a gradual
natural recession OF the waters. II 1t
is proven federal property the land
may be homesteaded. This is impos-
sible, says Mr.. Cosson, IL proven state
property, since the legislature has al
ready granted its drainage and the last
law would supplant the other. This
raises a nice question Of whether the
state could make one man, practically
homesteader over the two million
citizens in the state. The discrimi-
nation would be evident.

Feeder. AvaiIabI. At $40.

O0Oto Uv0U00IO ~ V&Os
The terrific supply at Kansas City
was looked upon by visitors as good
reason for q break here and some buy
ers who arrived from the east declared
their intnetion Of going to the river
market later this week In an en-
deavor to get some cheaper purchases.
Packers put up fair competition for the
better sorts of heavy steers which
would do for killing purposes, but
county buyers still had enough OF these
to go around. There were many feed
er steers in the western range crop and
buyers for distillery feeding took the
bulk of them. Where rangers were
dehorned. however. yard traders took
them with some freedom. since their
breeding made them attractive Most
corn feeders are passing up the horned
range steers and such sorts are finding
outlet in the slop sheds.
The trade still quoted choice bred
native feeders up to $7.75@7.90. but it
was short picking above $7.6o and bulk
Of medium to good 700 to $50 pound
steers sold at $1,000 .6o while some
right nice yearling stock steers went at
$3.50 and higher. tho there We're few
of such kinds in the run. Feeders and
stock steers around $500 were just a
planish light sort, while only the COM
mon little cattle were landed down to
$3.50 a $40. A right nice sort of feed
Ing heifers was held around $3.50 and
higher. while just medium kind went
at 1926 and common were quoted down
to $500 and lower. while good class
of feeding COWS had value around 1915
