GOOD RETURNS.

William Streicht came in from the
Ten Mile district last week to attend
to business matters and brought good
news as usual of the operations in the
district. This summer he and John kee
have been busy preparing ditch to get
water to their placer mining claim on
Station creek. S. c. Mcdaniel is the
third man interested with these two
and all three are enthusiastic about the
work for the coming season.
The ditch has just about been com
pleted. The water is taken out of Fall
creek below the Smith brother New
York quartz property and taken across
the divide and the ditch then goes on
to the Station creek property. On the
way to the Station creek property, the
ditch has been tapped and water has
been used by Simpson and Overman on
their placer on Little Leggit creek. As
a result of operations on the Simpson
& Overman placer the returns have
shown from $40 to $14 per man pei

Early next spring the water will be
used on the Mcdaniel Kee -Streicht
property on Station creek. This placer

PREDICT RISING MARKET FOR HOGS
FROM THE PRESENT TO FIRST OF YEAR

the animals shown are a portion of the
recent shipment made by Hon. +. s.
Sweet of Grangeville, Idaho, and HI.
Katterhagen of Whitman county, Wash
ington. The shipment contained 1,4S5
hogs, which when sold averaged 222
pounds each---or 329,470 pounds of
pork. They were sold for $7.65 per
hundredweight, which topped the mar
ket 20 cents over all other sales. Ac
cording to this the hogs brought the
owners $25, ,204.45, or nearly $17 head
which is fairly good price for
shoats. The total shrinkage was only
450 pounds to the car.
The Livestock Journal says:
"Ten ears of this shipment were
owned by Mr.. Sweet, while seven cars
| belonged to Mr.. Katterhagen. These
hogs were mostly Poland China and
Duroc grades of good quality. They
were fattened on wheat and barley,
largely on wheat stubblefields, which
this year contained considerable lodged
grain which would otherwise have been
wasted Part of Mr.. Sweet s hogs were
fattened on his own ranch, while Others
were bought from ranchmen in that
locality. The hogs were loaded on Octo
Der 15 and unloaded three times il
transit-at Spokane, Billings anc
jamestown. Every hog came through
in excellent shape and showed no il
effects from the long journey.
"Messrs Sweet and Katterhagen ex
pressed themselves as being very wei
satisfied with the way their shipmen
was handled, and were agreeably sur

shrinkage was very light considering
the number of miles the hogs Travelled

THE E. s. SWEET HOG SHIPMENT
TO CHICAGO TOPPED THE
EASTERN MARKET-COM-
PETE WITH CORN FED
SWINE.

Monday IS Tribune published an ar
ticle in which the advice is given to
buy brood sows, pure-bred sires and
feeding stock, ON the strength of the
opinion of stock buyers that the mar
ket price of hogs is on the raise with
prospect of the raise continuing for
some time 1t is predicted that from
the present price of about $3.50 the
market price will increase to 800 by
the first of the year and perhaps go to
5000.
The present low market is explained
as being responsible on account of the
farmers rushing much stock to market
among which considerable of the stuff
is not in good marketable condition.
At any rate there is some truth in the
predictions and everything indicates a
rising market. In the corn states feed
ers are in great demand at the present
time to dispose of corn crop that did
not have a chance to mature. This will
also insure no market flooding of stock
from that section and the receipts in
eastern centers are liable to be Aght
from now on until spring.
The coast markets for livestock have
been away under eastern markets thi:
fall and that has caused stream OF
shipments to go to the eastern markets
The higher market prices in the east
justified the paying of additiona
freight charges. The returns from thu
shipments have been very gratifying
and the hogs shipped by E. s. Swee
to the Chicago market some time ag'
topped the market. In this regard th
following is of interest:

plans to that end. but not until
1910 did their plans begin to
materialize. At that time Mrs.

concerning donation for Tulsa

Secured City's Assistance.
The city did not provide site
at once and in 1912 the Tuesday
Book Club appointed a commit
tee to undertake the establishing
of a small public library. The
committee was composed of Mes
danes A. W. Roth, W. II. Hend-
. ren, John Boy and I. f. Pearce.
The committee went before the
city commission and obtained an
appropriation Of 800 a month
for the maintenance of library.
The county commissioners gave
the free use of room on the
ground floor of the courthouse.
The committee then took the mat
ter before the Council of Women
and also asked for the co-opera-
ton of the Commercial Club, as
a result Of which a provisional
committee was appointed, con-
sisting of Mesdames w E. Hend-

A mass meeting was arranged
by the committee in charge for
October, 1912, at the courthouse,
at which time Library Associa-

latter place he was also connected with the fire department
He went into the harness business here and became chief

four men and two horses Nearly hundred GameWel
fire alarm boxes have been installed throughout the city
with station equipment calculated to meet the require
ments of a future city of $4,000 population.
The per capita fire loss here during the past eight years
was about 80 against $335 yearly per capita else
where in the United States The maintenance cost here
averages S0 as against $50 elsewhere.
The department is conducted solely on civil service
basis and politics is not played in its management
Every known device for fire fighting and work
is included in the local equipment The fire department
pumotor has been used in saving the lives of scores of
persons during the past two years There hardly day
but what it is called out in emergency cases
After seven years of daily service the first automobile
fire engine installed here is still in and is in splendid

great reduction expenses and has proved superior IN
