ADD FIFTY CENTS PER TON
70 PRICE OF BETA

AT meeting Of the board of direct.
Ors Of the Utah-Idaho Sugar company,
held last week, it was decided to add
90 cents per ton to the price paid to the
farmers who are growing beets in Utah
and Idaho. This is in addition to tho
price already contracted for, and will
mean that if the contents of the beets
run as high as last year, the farmers
will average 1915 per ton. In excep.
tional eases, they will realize more.
General Manager Cutler, speaking OF
the boards action, said: "The action
of the company in increasing the price
over and above that already agreed
on, is due to the feeling of the board
that the farmers should share in the
company's prosperity. This is in lint
with what was promised at the stock
holders meeting last April, when Pres
ident Smith s report stated that il
business conditions justified, the farm
ers would be paid an increased rate
When the last fiscal year ended Febru
airy, the company had large amour,
of sugar on hand. whose value was
predetermined. Now the greater part
Of this has been sold, and the company
knows where it stands, which enable
it to make the extra allotment to thu
farmers.''
The estimate of the company is tina.
the extra disbursement will call for thu
distribution of something like $4,000
this fall over and above the usual
amounts paid the beet growers.

LIVESTOCK REPORT.

Kansas City Stock Yards, July a.
Cattle.-A cattle supply of $500 today
and run at other leading markets be-
low expectations gave the sellers the
advantage and sales were largely Zoe
higher, although the market was rather
slow, and buyers disliked to give the
advance. Killers seemed determined to
get their droves cheaper if they can,
claiming beef makers are in bad shape,
but owners are in position to hold
their cattle, and will do SO unless the
price is more attractive. as grass is
good and cattle are putting on weight
fast. A drove of Kansas wintered cat
tie weighing l347 pounds, sold at $500
here today, whose owner said they were
gaining at the rate of nearly four
pounds a day when he shipped them.
With plenty of grass, cattlemen are in
an independent position and will not
take present prices until their cattle
have acquired more weight. Other
droves of Kansas wintered steers
weighing around 1900 pounds, sold at
1915 to 1910. Good Missouri corn and
grass steers sold at $1,000 to $1,000.
Receipts today included 10 cars of pulp
fed Colorados, at $1,000 to $1O.1O, Is
S0AS VI SuilOlH lass bOCClS weighing
1850 pounds at $500, IS cars of. hay
and grain fed Arizona steers weighing
1900 pounds at $3.50. and 70 ears OF
quarantine cattle, mostly Oklahoma
grass steers, at $3.50 to $3.50, some
fairly good north Texas steers at So SO
to 1915, and including q cars of COM
mon south Texas grass steers at 1925 to
1878. Butcher cattle sold steady !;
stockers and feeders shade lower to
day at 1928 to So, although there is a
market here for fleshy feeders here now
up to 10.
Hogs-Hog receipts were 1900, anu
the market advanced 10 cents. Prime
heavy hogs sold up to $1OO5, medium

of all the sales was at 1910 to $1,000.

ATTORNEY EXPLAINS THE LAW

Editor Southeastern Advocate, Pres
ton:
l have been requested by leaders Of
the political parties Of our county to
give an Interpretation of the primary
election law, which reads as follows, to-
wit:
Sec. Is. Each vote shall be by
ballot, printed as herein provided
When an elector offers to vote, he shall
call for the ballot Of the political party
of which he is member, and shall have
the right to receive the ballot of such
party only. He may be challenged on
the ground that he is not member OF
the political party for whose ballot he
asks, and if challenged, the following
oath Of affirmation shall be admins
tered to him by one of the judges Of
election:
ssDo you solemnly swear Cor affirm
that you are member of the --.........--..
..................---..-.----- party, that you in
tend to affiliate with such party at thu
next general election, and that you in
tend in good faith to support its can
didates generally"
If upon being required to make sucll
oath or affirmation by judge of elec
ton, he refuses to do so, he shall not
be permitted to receive ballot or al.
lowed to participate in such primary
election. Each voter shall upon receiv.
ing the ballot of his party retire to
one of the booths and without delay
mark the ballot received by him, and
fold it so that it's face shall be con.
cealed. He shall thereafter deliver said
ballot received by him to one of the
Judges of election, and it shall be de
posted by said judge i'll the ballot boz
! for votes. In the event said voter shall
soil or deface the ballot he desires tt
vote he shall at once return the ballot
received by him to one of the judges Of
election and get new ballot, and the
election officer shall place the ballot re
turned in ballot box provided for waste
ballots"
This section Of the law is enacted for
the purpose of permitting the party
members of each party to make its own
nomination, without the aid of thu
members of any other party. At the
general election, however, each citizen
has perfect right to vote for any per
son he chooses, no matter whether he il
Democrat or a Republican. If per
son be challenged at the primary cleo
tion, the oath provided for above is to
be administered to him. The penalty
for taking false oath is perjury.
The present primary law supersedel
the old convention law by which ths
party members Of each party met sep
arately and made its nominations. Thil
law should be carried out in the same
good faith as the old law was, giving tt
each party the exclusive right of nam

ing its own candidate, to be placed upon
the ticket at the general election, and
then, at the general election, every citi.
IN being perfectly free to vote for any
nominee he may wish to, be he Demo

Cattle-Receipts of cattle here today
were $500 head, and sales were mostly
10 cents higher. The supply included
Is cars of California steers, which
weighed around 1850 pounds, and
brought $500. There were also Is ears
of Arizona cattle here, steers weighing
1909 pounds, and selling at $3.50. The
supply was below expectations, and buy
ers showed an increased interest.
Sheep-Receipts of sheep and lambs
were $500 head, and the market was
10 to Is cents higher. No choice
lambs were included, few of the best
natives selling at 5000. Buyers have
access to few really good lambs, and
prime Idahos are worth up to $1,000
here today. Some medium class Ari-
zonas, carrying little flesh, 81 to 65
pounds average, sold at 1910 and
$10.15 today. Feeding lambs sell up to
1915, breeding ewes 81 to $S, choice
young breeders $3.50. Commission
firms here are getting many inquiries
about the chance to buy feeding and
breeding westerns, and the demand is
sure to be extraordinary all fall. Re-
ceipts of sheep and lambs here fell
short 5000 head last month, from the
same month last year, and the supply
will be relatively small for month or
six weeks ahead at least. In the mean
time the local market will rule very
strong, as compared with other points,
as it will be on an Independent basis.
Hogs-Hog receipts today were 1900;
sales Zoe higher. A feature was the
Offering of seven cars of Idaho hogs, 2
loads from Idaho Falls, !, loads from
Arco, and 2 loads from lslackfoct. They
all weighed 100 to 204 pounds and sold
at $3.50 to 1895, except one load Of
1876 pound hogs at 1910. The top load
of these hogs, at 1926, shrank only 4
pounds per head from home weights.
