Job Again Goes Begging.

Special to Times-Repu5ican.
Hampton. May Again this city is
without city clerk. Great difficulty
has been experienced here this spring
to fill the city offices. Two candidates
nominated in the caucus would not
allow their names to so on the ticket,
and considerable difficulty was found
in getting superintendent Of water
works and sewer. Finally L. II. Car
ter accepted the work but resigned
a few hours after. The office of clerk
went begging for some time and
meanwhile the sewer and water por-
ton of the job was handed to n. P.

counts he still holds the job. Finally L..
j. Kron was prevailed upon to accept
the clerkship of Hamptons affairs, and
now comes the report that he too, has
resigned. 1t may he necessary to try

HEAVY ARRIVALS FOR FRIDAY
CAUSE PRICES TO REcEDE
MARKEDLY.
SLUMP OF AND 10
CENTS UNDER THURSDAY
Offerings More Than Trade Can
Readily Absorb-Cattle Market Turns
Weak After Advancing on Previous
Days-6etter Outlook, According to
Views Of Traders.

Chicago, May 1.-THE hog market
was slow today, receipts being much
heavier than on the corresponding day
last week and more than the trade
could readily absorb. Prices were and
10 cents under Thursdays average,
when the market was slightly lower.
Receipts for the first four days Of
the week total about 10000 head, be-
ing 16,400 more than same days last
week. 45,so0 more than year ago and
10000 more than corresponding period
two years ago. Armour had around
1900 hogs in direct from other markets.
The card figured about 1000 hogs left
at the finish Wednesday. Shippers
were credited with taking around 1000
head.
Eleven markets received 70,10O hogs
Thursday, or 1890 more than last
Thursday, 5000 more than a year ago
and 1920 less than two years ago.
Total thus far this week $4,000, or
1900 more than same period last week,
$4,000 more than like time last year,
and 1000 more than corresponding four
days two years ago. Total for 1915 to
udlS 1U,--O,VVOp VI 1,oS1,VVV 4AAOA liA1h
same period 1914 and 1,477,000 more
than corresponding time 1913.
Cattle.
Cattle market was weak, altho offer
ings were not heavy.
That the trade is on uptrend to stay
is a general belief There are no indi-
cations pointing to the contrary. The
movement from feed yards being more
=, ~I,~
is suggestive Of a more bullish view be-
ing held by feeders. and many Of them
who have been wanting Of late to cash
in immature steers to save corn bills
doubtless will now look at their hold
ings as good property to have around
and finish for the late spring trade.
Nobody looks for mean market any
time from now on. Spasmodic declines
may follow irregularly higher markets
and this situation is not improbable for
the week ahead in event that the sharp
price advances this week induce some
liberal shipping.
1t is period, however. when the beef
trade is showing a broad need for sup
plies, and with the industrial situation
clearing to some extent, there is reason
to believe that the consumers purchas-
ing power can withstand higher beef
prices. Values are working back once
more to q money-making level for the
feeder, tho it is going to take some fur
Their general price gain on the bigger
steer it such can Offset at market their
cost Of production.
All kinds sharing advances this week
it is evident that the discriminating de-
mand so long claimed to be shown in
favor Of handy weight carcasses is los
ing it's grip. The east as well as local
killers have taken generous supplies of
heavy steers freely this week, and
such a situation is likely to continue.
Sheep.
Offerings Of Sheep and lambs were
readily absorbed, receipts not being
over abundant.

"BLACK TRAIL PROPOSED"

The "Black Trail" is a new one
sponsored by Layton George and
other live ones of the country north.
With the enthusiasm manifest on all
sides for making the Ta-ha-Kouty
battlefield a National park, the i'm
portance of a good auto trail north
is greatly increased. It is proposed
to- run the Black Trail from Hetting-
err, a Milwaukee town on the Yellow
Trail, north though Regent to Dick
inson, a prominent point on the Red
Trail and a Northern Pacific town
and on through Manning, Killdeer
and Oakdale to the new park and
again north between the Killdeer
mountains and northwest through
the Bad Lands to Schafer and Willis
ton, the latter on the Great North
ern and the Glacier Park Trail,
The promoters Of this new auto
line rightly say a good north and
south road is a business necessity and
by connecting three great transcon-
tinental auto routes and three great
trunk railroads it would prove the
missing link"

The idea of getting something for
nothing always proves a lure hard to
resist and it is worked by the clever
agent in many ways. His story is
usually that he has selected a few
prominent people in the town who
get some valuable article without
cost because of their influence. But
there is usually a money considera-
ton later on either in excessive ex-
press or delivery charges and investi-
CATION usually reveals that the agent
in selecting "the few people" visits
every house on every street with the
same story. Nobody is giving very
much without getting value received
and it is usually disappointing tt
have anything to do with these very
liberal offers.
