Chicago, July 8. - Temperatures
were cool in Canada and the northwest
and Canada received more
widespread rains. Nebraska and Kan
sas temperatures ran up to 81 and 90,

assume a very conservative attitude

Oats movement is large, but a big de-
cline is now predicted. Hay reports
this morning and all week suggest a
crop of Is per cent or more below
last year. Oakland, ILL.,, says hay is

Douglas and Edgar counties, corn re-
ports average 80 to "a condition. About
20 per cent of them are low-condition

DEPoPuLATE CANAL ZONE.
Dr.. Rowe Discusses Work Of Claims
Committee In Panama,

Philadelphia, Sept. 30-Dr. Leo s.
Rowe, of the University of Pennsylva-
MIA, one of the representatives OF the
United States on the international
claims committee established under
the treaty of 1903 with the Republic
Of Panama, who returned here from
Panama last night. issued a statement
on the work OF the committee today.
He said:
The decision OF the United States
to acquire title to all the land in the
canal zone involved much more than
the appropriation OF large amount of
property. The policy was not only to
acquire title to all the land but also to
depopulate the zone. In other words.
the thousan ds of small farmers who
had for many years cuiliN ated small
tracts of public lands as a means Of
livelihood were to be driven from their
homes. This involved the nescessity Of
passing on great number of claims
for damages.
TT is a source Of great satisfaction
that practically all the decisions of the
committee were reached by unanimous
agreement"
After discussing the results of the
work on the canal DR.. Rowe continued:
in our relations with the Republic
Of Panama, there is offered to the
American people the opportunity to
demonstrate the spirit which animates
them in their relations with the coun-
! tries Of LATINA America. Under the
treaty the interests of the country of
Panama and those of the United
States are inextricably bound together.
| The relationship is a peculiar and
exceptional one and is being watched
with close interest turnout Latin
America. The extent to which we
show unselfshness in our relations
with Panama will furnish the stand
ards by which our professions of un-
selfishness toward other Latin-Amer-
| lean countries will be judged"

tieshy kinds. however, were at least
25@30c off from last Monday. They
had close to 1000 cattle in. their pens
which came over from last week, and
with a small attendance Of buyers from
the country, there was little incentive
for active trading in fresh stuff. 1t was
noon hour before many cattle began to
move and a small volume of business
was transacted by outside buyers later
in the day. These cheaper prices, trad
ers say. should encourage some broader
country demand later this week. Mar
ket has been worked down to lowest
basis of the month now and current
costs should appeal to lot OF feeders
who have good fall grass and will have
a big stock of roughage for winter
handling
Monday fresh crop comprised fair
quota of medium TO good 600 to 1000
pound steers and also some heavier
grades of feeder kind. tho where the
latter stuff carried any decent flesh
there Were higher bids from packers
than feeder buyers. Comparatively
few cattle sold to feeder buyers above
$3.50 and a class of 900 to 1000 pound
stuff such as went at sl.6o0l. 'o last
NJ onday was available at $40 q so.
Most of the medium TO good feeders
sold within a range of 500 0i.30 ana
latter price took some 1.O0u pound
kinds which would have made $3.50 last
Wednesday. Common hight feeders and
the thin little stock steers sold at $500
$50. and pretty good stocker kind
took $3.50 q 6.I5, While selected yearlins
stockers were quoted around s'.io@
7.25.
Some of the poorer grade thin little
stockers in odd lots went under $500.
but it was mainly stock heifer and
COW class below the latter price. Stock
cows were easily 15@25c lower than
rates made few days previous Bulls
for stocker trade were also that much
off.

HOUSTON TELLS OF Y. s. PLANS.
Secretary Outline. System For Use Of
Federal Funds in Highways.


Detroit, Mich, Sept. 3O.-Secretary
Houston of the department Of agri-
culture. in an address before the Amer
lean road congress. expressed his APP
prevail Of the efforts Of the organiza-
ton and explained the interest OF the
federal government with reference to
road building.
He urged good roads for the farmer
in preference to great transcontinentai
highways for automobilists, and at the
same time he said he did not UNDER
estimate the valuable service rendered
by automobiles in the propaganda for
road building.
"The suggestion OF great national
transcontinental roads appeals to my
imagination. as does the suggestion Of
interstate roads connecting capitals or
cities Of commercial importance to my
logical faculty and to the sense of
pleasure that I experience in riding
about the country in my friends auto
mobiles. But that the essential thing
to be done is the providing Of GOOD
roads which shall get products from
the community farms to the nearest
station and make rural life more profit
able, entertain no SORT Of doubt and
1t is obvious that the representatives
of the people in congress are like
minded.
For in making their recent appro-
priation of half million dollars for
good roads they stipulated that it
Should be used ii improving the con-
dition of post roads, with view to the
economy and efficiency of postal de-
livery and for the transportation Of
farm products to market.
Such roads are equally essential to
the establishment and operation Of de-
cent elementary and secondary schools
for the benefit of the country boys and
girls. do not eliminate other things
from consideration and do not under
estimate the right and pleasures of the
automobilists and the service they have
rendered in the propaganda for road
building.
"That the suggestion Of federal aid
to road building raises grave questions
and involves possible dangers nc
thoughtful citizen doubts. There are
proposals before the public mind which
would bankrupt the federal treasury
| and suggest possible abuses before
which those Of the worst pork barrel
| bills Of the past would pale into in
Significance.
THE first practical essentials in the
planning Of road legislation would
seem to be to recognize the states as
the smallest unit with which the fed
eral government might deal. This
would give relief from the insistent de-
mand that would come from every
| township and every district in the
union for its share OF state or fedora
| assistance without reference to the
practicabiiity of the undertaking.
1T would seem that the basic feature
would be such corporation between
| the states and federal government al
would leave with the states the init.
alive in the selection OF roads to re.
ceive aid and as much OF the immedi.
ate construction and maintenance a.
would be practicable.

Cattle.
Cattle trade was uneven. Most of
the stuff on sale showed poor quality.
A combination OF generous supplies
of big steers and the weak influence of
coming Jewish holidays proved bad
thing for the trade in heavy steers,
while the yearlings and handy fat
grades had fair sale. Heayies went
down l0Gi5 cents in most cases from
the close last week and there We're
spots Of 20 cents decline. The medium
and common classes of middle weight
steers We're also 10G15 cents lower,
While anything strictly good to choice
and handy in weight sold steady. For
The choice yearl.ngs 1t was an active
demand and the prime ones were
strong sellers, while all medium grades
were steady.
Jewish New Year, which falls next
Thursday and Friday, cut of lot Of
the New York demand, kosher buyers
being out of the trade. and the market
felt the absence OF this call. which In
recent weeks has been a strong factor
in creating q broad outlet for the
heavy steers.
Jewish holiday influence promises to
have It's effect all this week. since
there will be no kosher killing here and
in New York late this week. The trade
is urging material cut In supplies for
the mid-week market. and this must be

Buyers OF sheep and lambs made
no contest against higher prices.
After the record run last week il was
only natural for a Iet-up IN receipts.
but there will be several weeks the
balance OF the year when compare
lively large runs will be recorded.
Some sellers expect a slight improve
nent in the market the balance of the
week but receipts will have a bearing
on the prices of later days.
September sheep receipts at Chicago
promise TO break the previous record
for the month by about 100, 900 head.
Already the record has been broken.
Omaha will also create a new set OF
supply figures. The movement Of feed
ers to the country has been on an enor-
nous scale.

Berlin, Sept. 30.-Two young royal
couples now in Germany are occupying
the attention and imagination Of the
| press and public both here and abroad
to considerable extent.
The sudden illness of Princess Vic
! toria of Hohenzollern. the bride Of Ex-
King Manuel OF Portugal. while on her
honeymoon near Munich, and the mys-
| terry with which it has been surrounded
| have given rise to flood OF rumors,
| none Of which appear 70 be based on
actual knowledge
Some German papers broadly hint at
| what is declared to be the real nature
Of the illness Of the bride, from which
| conclusions are drawn which are based
| to large extent on the alleged past
! life of the ex-king. A report from
| Munich via Vienna says the princess
will return to her home at Sigmaringen
and it is alleged that she has said she
| never will live with her husband again.
| A report come from Munich yester-
! day morning that the bride Of the ex-
king can not leave the hospital there
for two weeks. after which she will 60
j to her fathers castle at Sigmaringen.
/
home at Twickenham, near Richmond,
England, and that the princess will not
| join him there this winter.
A report from Munich last evening
says the princess will be taken to the
Black Forest in few days. where she
will remain until she RECEIVERS from
| her attack Of influenza.
The fact that no official statements
have been made to clear up the mys-
terry about her illness and that no de-
mails of rumors have been made is be-
ing used as presumptive evidence that
the reports are true.
The other royal couple whose affairs
are occupying the attention Of the pa
pers and the people are the kaiser's
only daughter, Princess Victoria Luise,
and her husband. Prince Ernest Of
Cumberland. who were married last
May. A statement was made last
night that the princess Will return to
her home at Rathenow as soon as her
husband. Prince Ernest, returns from
Gmunden.
This bride has also been Ill recently
and this resulted in several hurried
visits to Rathenow by her royal moth
er. VINO took her home TO Potsdam. It
also gave rise to a crop of rumors
about quarrel between the young
couple. AS result OF her illness 1t
is now said that hopes Of a visit by the
stork will have to be given up for some
time.
The condition OF Princess Victoria
Luise. who was never robust. became
such that the empress was considering
the advisability Of taking her to the
Riviera or Corfu, but she has improved
so much in the last few days that
this may not be necessary.
