Clinton. Ia. Is Flooded.

Clinton, Ia. - A cloudburst struck
this city late Thursday. Ten square
blocks, including the business district,

Portland --At Me- opening Of the
market Thursday ifiorning there were
over 1900 head ~ cattle at North
Portland and three loads arrived from
Central Oregon during the forenoon,
says the Portland Live Stock Reporter.
Buyers from all the smaller local pack
ing plants were on hand, as well as
from Puget Sound points, and trading
opened with considerable spirit. A
Puget Sound packer bought the greater
part of the best offerings, paying 81
for the top steers, and he got some
very good steers for $6.75. The
smaller local packers were interested
bidders and each got some good cattle.
Just before noon load of fat steers Of
poor type were sold to local packer
at $6.05. Up to noon the majority Of
the purchases had been made by the
Puget Sound and nearby packers, ant
nearly half of the stuff had been sold
The market was practically on
steer basis, as there were only few
cows offered and only three or foul
bulls. Most of the steers offered
however, were of killer quality and O
weights that killers require. Whil
the market started out steady AM
most of the best stuff was sold befor
noon at prices which correspond will
those of last week, the larger loca
packing interests are bidding lower

UNEXPECTED DEFEAT
FOR STATEN ISLAND.
Leaders i'm Field Club Soccer
League Lose Game to Ben
sOnhurst Team.
STILL HEAD THE LIST

Although they still lead in the Field
Club Soccer League the players OF the
staten Island Cricket and Tennis Club
did not succeed in clinching the cham
pionship yesterday. They were beaten.
l to 0. by the Bensonhurst Field Club
eleven In n league game at Livingston.
Neither side was able to score In the
FIRST period. during which the men from
Clmer Park had somewhat the better
OF the argument and did most of the
pressing, after winning the toss and
playing down hill. The visitors were
minus three OF their regular team. In
Guiding Hall, their centre forward,
whose weak knee was injured in the
intercity match.
After forty minutes OF play ends
were changed and the chances of Staten
Island appeared to improve. Several
good openings were missed by the home
team. however. and after that the Staten
Islanders could make no Roadway
against the excellent defence OF the
B~ensonhurst back division. with Crei-
feldt OF last years Cornell team in
goal and Muir n Gracey as full
backs. In the middle of the second half
a long shot by Mcintosh, Bensonhurst's
inside right. from about thirty yards
out landed in the extreme left corner
Of Staten Islands net. This decided the
game In favor OF Bensonhurs: because
the visiting players thereafter were con-
tent to play a purely defensive game.
Smith at right half and MacW WINNIE
at inside right were the Staten Island
stars. The lineup:
