MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards. Feb. s. 1916.
Cattle sold strongly today, with a
weak tendency on beef steers, but
cows. stockers and feeders sold strong.
The sharp division of opinion between
cattle feeders and the buying side of
the market is as pronounced as it has
been recently, feeders claiming pre-
sent prices are losing them money
and killers claiming they cannot
move the meat at profit at any high
er prices and they find limited out
let for it at present prices. Not many
cattle sold above 50 today, although
fair number here yesterday brought
So. % to SS-65, bulk of steers now SELL
ing at S7.30 to $50, the market called
slow and weak to 10 lower today on
beef steers. Cows and butcher cattle
sell strong, prime cows worth up to
81, fair to good COWS $50 to So p.
some westerns here today at So. 90 to
Sc. 25. Bulk of heifers sell at So p
to $3.50, odd head up to $3.50, veal
calves So to $1,000, bulls mostly at
s.. so to Sc. %. Stock steers are selling
largely at S645 to S7.30. and feeders
Sc. Y to S7.35 this week, one lot of
fancy White Fancy Colorado yearlings
at $3.50. and Colorado Shorthorns at
81. Buyers figure the winter is more
than half over in this latitude, and
cattle bought at present prices Will
be well worth the money before grass
comes, hence good investment
either to turn in the near future. or
to hold through the summer. The
Disappointing beef steer market is
depressing feeders somewhat.
Hogs sold steady to higher today,
receipts q 600 head. Order buyers fill
ed large orders, and led in the buying
early, though packers soon followed
their lead, and paid the top price
for number of loads, $50 Bulk of
ranged from S7.70 to So, and light
hogs sold up to S7.65. Order buyers
took good many light hogs. which
put strength into every department
of the market. Eastern markets are
reported running short of hogs, and
increasing orders here from that sect
ion is strong feature, together with
the large requirements of local
packers.

around S11.1O, some Navajo ewes from
Northern Colorado at S7.45, yearlings
yesterday up to 80 so, feeding lambs

imates each day, which has much to
do with the high prices paid, 10000
here yesterday, 1000 today. Prospects
point to continued light supplies
here, and firm prices.

The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1916-07-29

Some one few days ago said:
How can you expect the farmers
to get along and be thrifty when
they sell what they raise for three
fourths of its value, and buy what
they need and pay twice what it
is worth ?" This puts up prob
lem worth considering and the
only cure is to raise crop that
can be fed on the farm and sold
on the hoof and not sacrificed as
soon as harvested, at the cutthroat
prices that usually prevail when
everybody wants to sell at the
same time. Granaries, storehOuses
and better facilities for keeping
farm products must be a part OF
the solution, and then there will
not be much need for buying
things back from the local stores.
If the farmer does not raise his

Nearly 100000 acres of unap-
propriated and unsurveyed land
in this state, including railroad
granted and lieu lands that have
been kept off the state tax rolls
by railroad and timber companies
holding scrip, will all have been
made to contribute toward sup
port Of the government by this
fall if good weather holds out.
From his headquarters in Olympia,
+. A. Fitzhenry, surveyor general,
has already sent II surveying
parties out into the public domain
this year and will have 10 parties
of nine men each at work next
month. AS rapidly as the land is
surveyed it is segregated and be-
comes assessable for taxation pur-
poses. Governor Lister took up
the matter Of having these sur
veys made soon after assuming Of
flee in 1913, working direct with
federal land authorities at Wash
ington, d. c., particularly with
reference to railroad granted and
lieu lands. With the cooperation
Of the surveyor general he sue
ceeded to such an extent that IA
parties were sent into the field in
this state, where only six had been
permitted in previous years. This
was increased to II parties in 1915,
with the result that comparatively
a small portion remained unclassi-
fed for 1916, and the department
is making every effort to complete
the surveying Of these tracts this
year. The net result for three
years is the addition of 100000
acres to the tax rolls. Most Of
the land is in Yakima, Kittitas,
Okanogan and Pend Oreille coun-
ties.

Under a heading, GA Compare
son." the st. Louis Mirror has the
following:
"The opposition to Woodrow
Wilson is making the same kind
of a fight that was made on Linn
coin when he stood for the second
term. Lincoln was accused OF
vacillation, procrastination, tenn
porization, pusillanimity, phrase
making, playing politics. Now all
these things have blended into
what the panegyrists call his
sublime patience. Woodrow Will
son may not be a Lincoln, but he
has been patient. His patience
won his point with Germany. His
patience has kept us out of war.
On the war issue the opposition
has simply nothing to oppose to
Woodrow Wilson. Would Mr..
Hughes have had less patience or
more with Germany, with Mexico?
On either horn he must impale him
self. There is no escape by a mid
die way"
The opposing issue when Mr.
Lincoln was last nominated was to
gain by the ballot what the ene-
mics of the North had practically
lost on the fields of battle. The
issue now opposing Wilson is the
attempt to regain by the ballot
what the special interests and the
munitions makers have lost by the
wholesome actions of our presi-
dent. The "vacillation of Will
son has kept us from war, but it
has likewise kept several special
interests from increasing their for
tunes at the expense OF the life
blood of our youth. Therefore,
Hughes, indorsed by these in
terests. should be elected to take
the place of Wilson in order that
this same Hughes may "Ameri-
canize" our people in teaching
them how to fight whenever the
munitions makers are ready for
further profits.

To stimulate the growth of the
industries of the state of Washing
ton, to create a condition of in
dustrial preparedness which shall
place it's manufacturers on a sub
stantial and lasting basis, and to
advocate the use Of Washington
made products by the people who
reside within this commonwealth,
the manufacturers of this state
have planned to carry out big
campaign of advertising and pub
licity during the years of 1916
and 1917.
The movement for encouraging
the use of made-in- Washington
goods first originated with the
manufacturers who have their
plants on Puget Sound. The manu-
facturers of Washington realize
that, with the wider publicity
given to eastern made products,
the growth of their concerns has
been hampered and people are un-
willingly led to believe that such
products are preferable to Wash
ington goods.
It is to establish in the minds of
Washington people the fact that
the factories of this state make
just as good products and sell
ON as reasonably as foreign con.
Germs, that the present campaign
as planned.
The Manufacturers Association
also appreciates the vital part the
press of the state can and does
perform in the spreading Of news
and advertising regarding any
products and has determined that
it will use liberal space in these
publications.
Individual manufacturers are
entering heartily into the newly
formed plan and have already
signed contracts to take space III
scores of the newspapers of the
state. Indications at present are
that not only the industries, but
the people of the state as well,
will profit vastly from this cam
paign. The COlville Examiner has
been selected as one Of the papers
which will advertise made-in-
Washington goods, and on the
theory that money spent at home
is money well spent, this paper
will continue to encourage buying
home goods at home.

AT THE BURTIS.

John Hyams and Leila Mcintyre are
playing "My Home Town Girl" at the
Burtis, Davenport, this afternoon and
tonight. 1t is musical comedy and
was conceded to be the hit of the sea-
son when it appeared at the Illinois
here a few weeks ago.
David Belasco will present David
Warfield at the Burtis, Davenport, for
one performance, Thursday evening,
April 6, in the latest Belasco play,
Van Der Decken," which is based on
the legend of the Flying Dutchman.
Almost every man, woman and child
has heard this familiar fable. There
is hardly a grown-up who has not
read the story in some form or other.
There is no more universal figure in
legendary lore; certainly no figure in
either legend or history that is in
vested with such tender and beauti-
full symbolism.
