MADISON GRAIN MARKET.
SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK MARKET

Sioux City. Aug. 21.-As is usual
on a Friday supply of cattle on sale
was limited, run being estimated at
800 head, as agains 341 a week ago
and 43S the corresponding day a
year ago.
No great change was noted in the
market for cattle. Both killers and
stockers and feeders selling at prices
about even with the previous day.
General quality of the offerings at
hand were rather plain.
Light receipts of hogs at all the
leading centers paved the way for a
sharp reaction. Locally the deal
worked out on a 10 a 15c level, with
the big end of the advance falling on
heavy and mixed grades, lights being
too scarce to show the betterment.
Top for the day landed at sos, with
the bulk of the sales from $1,000
$40.
Most of the sheep that arrived to-
day were billed direct to packers, and
with bullish news from outside points
there was nominal strength noted
here.

They agreed that the Arabic was

From the moment the heavy blow

she sank beneath the waves there

under Lloyd George. measures intro
duced affecting the wealthy classes
were continually becoming more and
more drastic.
A Dangerous Combination.
II do not hesitate to say hat the
men behind this attempt to turn the
country over to militarism constitute
the most INSCRIPTIONS. most avari-
cious and most dangerous combination
that has ever been drawn together on
this continent by the hope Of plumber.
"One would have believed that the
prominent men OF this country would
be universally IN favor OF peace. How
ever. so strong are the financial pow-
ers back of this movement, that those
having business interests seem afraid
to declare themselves. The Chicago
convention will, nevertheless, be an abb
solute expression of the sentiment OF
the men and women OF America, %
per cent Of whom are opposed to mill
tarism In its every form. The fright
full fate OF Europe. whose people have
allowed militarism to gain the upper
hand, clearly shows what America has
to fear IL we permit similar influences
here to gain the ascendancy.
IF the world Is ever to have free
dom from militarism and wars that
threaten civilization itself 1T must be
through America setting the example
OF calm, intentional. deliberate refusal
to take Its place among the DULLES OF
the globe.
Now il the time for the American
people TO reach this determination.
Now is the time when their example
should become the hope Of civilization
and the promise to future generations
of mankind"

KNOCKS.

There are knocks. and again there
are knocks. Just now the knock
which is stirring up the Rogue River
valley is not OF the common ordinary
vacant lot brand OF kicker's knock.
but is Of the other kind. the KNOCK
OF OPPORTUNITY. A million dol
lars in capital is waiting at the door
Is the Rogue River valley "at home"
TO visitors? Are you, Mr. Farmer,
content with the seant nyilg tnat
you grind out Of your iand, prices
nuctuating and market poor? Or
do you want a steady income Of good
hard Uncle Sans dollars?
In the next thirty days the valley
will either gain or lose a million-dol-
lar industry. It does not depend upon
the landowners alone. II depends
upon every man in the valley.
Bankers, merchants, all can by
their offers OF cooperation with the
farmer, induce the landowner to sign
up acreage. The sugar factory means
the spending OF large amounts Of cash
in the valley, not alone for beets but
for fuel, labor and many other ne
cessities to the successful conducting
Of such an industry. Let us answer
the knock Of opportunity with a
ready hospitality which will adyer-
tise the progressiyeness OF southern
Oregon. The Willamette valley, the
Umpqua, the klamath county and
many other sections Of Oregon are
ready to grab the factory If the
Rogue valley fails. It is the knock
Of opportunity.

AN APPEAL FOR COMMUNITY
SPIRIT.

The people Of Ashland are often
unwilling to credit themselves with
anything more than mediocrity. II
one OF their number develops more
than common ability they often have
no knowledge Of 1t. II they begin to
suspect 1t, rather than encourage they
become hostile with jealousy.
The people OF Ashland are con-
stantly admitting that their stores,
their professional men, their schools,
are inferior, and in doing this they
admit their own individual inferior
ity. Every time citizen goes away
to trade he admits that his own town
Is inferior and that he himself as
member OF that community is also
inferior.
Why should not citizens OF Ashland
cooperate in having the best stores,
in educating their young men and
women to the highest efficiency?
Why should they not cultivate 1t
themselves?
Just as soon as farmers and the
people will begin buying everything
at home, Ashland will begin to get
bigger and better, the stores will be
better, the schools and churches will
be better, the professional men will
be more able. No one will care to
go away to buy cheap articles and
worthless service, showing that they
themselves are cheap and Of no par
ticular account.
HOME BOOSTER.

May Open Vast
Copper Deposit

Roseburg Review: Frank Gal
breath, an assayer Of minerals for the
British Columbia Copper Company,
arrived here yesterday and made an
examination today of the mining
properties Of Harry Banfield of Port
land located in the Drew vicinity.
Mr.. Galbreath was sent here in the
hope that his company will be able to
extend their vast interests to the cop
per deposits OF Douglas county.
From information that the copper
company, whose headquarters are at
Grand Forks, B. c., has already re-
ceived, the ore of this section is very
favorable to being exploited at this
time, according to Mr.. Galbreath.
The ore is wanted by the British gov
ernment for copper jacketing bullets
for use in the European war. Mr..
Galbreath will take samples from
various parts of the Banfield claims,
the rich ore with the poor, and If the
percentage averages satisfactorily it
is his opinion that the property will
be bought and actual work OF devel-
opment will begin within a couple
of weeks. 1t will require about one
week to complete the assays.
This is the second time recently
that the copper properties near Can
yonville have been examined. The
Banfield claims are said to be about
thirty miles from that place. Copper
is now worth IS cents a pound,
which is a high price, and every
workable claim in the country is be-
ing opened if possible. Mr.. Gal
breath will return here probably to-
morrow.
