probably be made this summer Plans
and estimates for the power house i'm
provements have been prepared and
forwarded to the Cedar Rapids. head

Tries For Double; Fails.
In the fatal seventh Sheehan started
what appeared to be a certain double
play, but his heave to second was
wide. and Stevenson slipped as the bail
left the pitchers hands, making the
completion OF the play impossible, the
ball going to center field. AS result
there were two men on bases and the
pitcher momentarily in the azure blue.
Two triples in succession followed, re-
sulting in three tallies. Despite this
bad break Sheehan pitched good ball,

contender in the fight for the pitching

SIMPLE INAUGURATION


I
SO far as the recent conference bo.
tween members Of the legislature
and Governor-Elect Williams has do.
veloDed plans It is seen that the com
ing inaugural ceremonies will be i'm
pressive and yet simple. There will
probably be an elaborate inaugural
bali but II will not be financed by the
state. Neither will there be an ex-
penditure Of the states money 10
bring the militia to the capital Cor
the inaugural ceremonies nor for any
other purposes connected with. the
induction Of new officials into office.
All the officials will take the oath
of office together and there will be
impressive proceedings but It will be
a Democratic affair to the fullest ex-
tent. The introduction OF Judge wiz
liams and his fellow-officials into o.
flee will recall the time when Thos.
Jefferson set n example for SIMPLE
ity and economy which has never
since been followed in Washington.
The state will not be asked to ex-
pend one cent for the Inauguration.
II the legislature should decide 10
make an appropriation for that pur-
pose It would doubtless be vetoed by
the new governor. The legislature
knows this and there will be no ap-
preparation. II this inaugural sea-
son had not come at the time Of dis
tress and warfare in Europe and the
unsettled business conditions in this
country IL is possible that the entire
National Guard would have been
brought to the capital and the cerc-
monies would have been eIaborat ).
However. It is known that Judge viii
liams is in favor of rigid economy.
simplicity, and attention to duty. md
he might not have allowed such dis
play even under better conditions in
the country. AS 1t is. the inaugura-
tion will be made impressive and in
expensive.

CATTLE PRICES BREAK
Release Of Many Sections from the
Foot and Mouth Disease Qyaran-
tine Creates Disturbance in the
Markets.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Dec. 3.
The live stock market has suffere
another disturbance this week in tho
release of man ycounties in the var
ious states from the foot and mouth
disease quarantine. Iowa is partic-
ipating flood of hogs into Sioux
City. Omaha. and st. Joseph, and
Illinois and Wisconsin are sending
cattle. hogs. and sheep. to Chicago.
The break in the cattle prices this
week which effects the upper grade
of the steers is NOR the result Of a
moral influence than actual, for the
receiupts have not yet become ex-
cessive. But the buyers know that
offerings this week at all OF the mar
kets will foot up heavy totals, and
they recognize thi sas good chance
to break the prices. Receipts today
are only about ~ thousand head.
Good fed steers are half dollar
lower this week. some cases more,
best steers here ystrday $9.4O 70
$3.50 and tn best sold in the fore
noon today at s9.25 TO $3.50.
Butcher grades are about steady
although good cows were slow seller
today. Canner cattle are strong, md
some sales are ten to fifteen higher
this week, and stockers and feeders
are steady and firm. Demand from
the country however. is more cor
yearlings and twos than for heavy
feeders. which puts the warmed up,
short fed steers in bad class on the
market.
Killers say that the beef market
is bad due to the warm weather md
to the influence of poultry II this
season OF the year. When all
guarantees are lifted and the move
ment of live stock is unrestricted
there will be some demand in the
demand for fleshy feedrs. but no
great revival in the cattle prices Is
apt to come before the holidays.
January has never been noted for
high prices for finished cattle, and
feeders are in quandary. with com
mission men unable to give item
much comforting advice.
When the flood of the quarantine
cattle subsidies. and the colder wealth
er comes. conditions should improve.
In the hog trade the market is a.
striking contrast to that Of week
ago. Receipts are "a thousand here
today. but all the markets that are
getting stock from the heretofore bot
tied up districts are overloaded. Ev-
en- Cleveland. from when killers sent
orders for hogs recently, wires today
that they have receipts of hogs and
choice one sare selling at sexen cents
The market is 25 lower here. top
1920, bulk $500 to $7.15.
Sheep are firm today but lambs
are 15 to 20 lower. Fed lambs OF
native territory are swamping Chi-l
cago. where they expect heavy e.
ceipts the balance of the week, and
other markets to which Iowa is ,os-
tiguous are well supplied. 1t is Al
weak situation all around in the
live stock trade. and II will not be
improved any this week.
Receipts of sheep and lambs are
s thousand head this week.
