Saturday evenings train for the pur-
pose of investigating a matter in VIII ch
checks had been given them in payment
for sixty head of cattle, and which had
been turned down by the State Bank
at New Meadows, The gentlemen were
directed to County Attorney Hattabaugh
for advice, who got busy with them on
the phone and soon had the matter ex-
plained to their satisfaction by George
Wilson of higgins. the man who bou 'ht
the cattle The cattle were delivered
by the owners to Mr.. Wilson at Fem
about a month ago, ,atwhich time the
checks In controversy were issued, COW
ering the amounts of $1210 to Davis and
1925 to Bailie. Mr.. wilson's explana-
ton of the matter was that he was
buying both cattle and horses and that
the bank had made a transfer of the
cattle fund to the credit of the horse
fund without his knowledge, and that the
matter would be Strengthened out at
once, whicn satisfied the gentlemen at
this end of the wire. MIR. Wilson has

Seth Jones Disposes of $780,
600 Herd of Breeding
Stock to F. E. Wyatt.

Jones Will Engage in Buying
and Fitting Steers for
Market.

While at the Lewiston stock show last
week, Frank e. Wyatt and Seth ID.
Jones, two of the we'll known tock men
of the Salmon river country. pulled off
a $50, 900 deal, in which MIR. Wyatt Sc
cured of Mr.. Jones almost his entire
herd of breeding cattle, running up into
several hundred head. This includes
approximately 200 breeding cows with
spring calves, almost 100 head of high
grade cows and some sixteen or etgh-
teen registered Shorthorn and Hereford
bulls, and will give Mr.. Wyatt one of
the largest breeding herds in this coun-
try. Seth figures on engaging extensive
ly in the future in buying, fitting and
shipping steers for the market, and has
held over several hundred head of his
young steers now ON his ranch and
range to which will be added a large
number that he will purchase In speak
ing of the transaction the Lewiston
Daily Tribune saye:
One of the biggest live stock deals
concluded 1T the Lewiston country in
many yea- was negotiated last week
when F. e Wyatt purchased from Seth
d. Jones the bre sding cows and regis
| tered bulls of the Jones herd, the pur
chase price being approximately $4,000.
Included in the purchase are 16 register
ed Hereford and Shorthorn bulls, 70 high
grade cows and about 200 cows and
sping calves.
Mr.. Wyatt necsntly made a big sale
OF range steers that were taken to the
Pomeroy SEE tion to be fed for the mar
ket. The purchase made from Mr.
Jones win give him one of the largest
/ h1erd in A.
ho country and will replace the range
animals recently sold.
Mr. Jones has retained approximately
300 head, most of which are young
steers, and In the future will devote
his entire attention to the preparation
of steers for the market. This will
mean that he win become a heavy buy
er of young steers in the future and
will buy as near home as possible. His
extensive range will be used for finish
ing the steers for market and large
numbers will ba marketed annually.
During the past year Mr.. Jones has
been selling heavily to prepare his ranch
and range for the steer business and
his transact ons during the year are but
little short of the $4,000 mark. He has
also operated extensively in hogs and
will continue in hogs in connection with
finishing his cattle for market,
Both stockmen involved In the deal
are pioneer residents of the Salmon rfv-

of an act providing for the sale of

-fortieth of the principal to be paid
advance at 6 per cent on the deferred
payments This law also provides that
sale certifics tes issued at any time prior
to this enc otment may be surrendered

that the balance Of principal due on any

accommodate the applicants for these
lands, salAs are held in each county

ANOTHER OBJECT LESSON

Every nee in a while some new in
dustry that has fourished under a
protective tariff attracts attention
through the closed doors and silent
machinery. Nothing Of late has been
so c-onspicuously characteristic Of the
destructive effects OF the present
Democratic low tarir law as the pre-
dlcament OF many OF the factories Of
w~tre-grass mattings and carpets.
There are thousands Of acres OF
marsh lands in Minnesota. Wisconsin
and other States which produce wire

Discovery that this wire-grass was
suited to use In the manufacture OF
floor mattings and carpets was fol-
lowed BY establishment Of factories
whose owners bought such lands or
leased them from tho farmers. Land
values Immediately advanced to $50
or more an acre. Several thousand
men employed 20 gather the

cratic tariff law OF 1918 cut the outg

to 25.00o.oOO square yards. while
some American mills closed their

This shows the difference between
the constructive policies Of the Re

policies OF the Democrats. In many
Of the States OF the Union there are
marsh lands that produce wire o

states there Is labor and capital
