Monday morning, receiving the fancy
price of 1885 per hundred for them. The
hogs were last November pigs and, while
only nine minths of age, tipped the beam
at 215 pounds each. Mr.. Schroeder
also sold carload of fat steers the
same day to John Baer. They were
and averaged 1850
pounds each and were a fine lot, 26
head in all: The cattle market, how
ever, is weak at present and 61a cents
was all that could be paid for them.
j. E. Gentry delivered four head of
yearling lambs to the local market this
week that tipped the beam it $40 pounds

Gentry says the lambs were wintered
on alfalfa hay and had no other feed
this spring than grain pasture. Had
they been pushed at all they could have
been made to weight 200 pounds apiece.
Mr.. Gentry finds that few head of
sheep are fine thing on the farm for
they help materially in keeping down
the foul weed growths and pick their
living in way that their feed is hardly
noticed.

DUNCAN GIVES ROAD
WORK A SEND-OFF

Reliable information from the
Lordsburg Chamber of Commerce,
is to the effect that the Grant
county commissioners are plan
ming to repair the highway from
'Lordsburg this way to the state
line as soon as they complete the
work now being done between
Lordsburg and Stems, says the
Duncan News.
The road between here and
Lordsburg is a link in the South
ern National Highway and is in
pretty bad shape, especially in wet
weather, and very little work will
be necessary to make a good road.
The part of the road on this side
of the state line is in excellent
shape, all of it being newly con-
structed or repaired.
There is considerable travel over
the Lordsburg road and it is hoped
that the repair work will be done
at an early date.

NO TRACE is LEFT
OF BEAVER COLONY
SUSPICION ENTERTAINED THAT
TRAPPERS HAVE EXTERMI-
MATED ANIMALS ON
MEACHAM CREEK.

What has become Of the beaver coll
ony that was growing and thriving on
Meacham creek?
Hunters and fishers, who have been
familiar with the industrious family
of water animals in the mountains
east OF here, are asking that ques-
ton now The former home of the
colony in this year deserted and there
is a strong suspicion that human
hands have had something to do with
its disappearance.
Three years ago Teddy Hauswirth
and c. E. Roosevelt, on their return
from a hunting trip, reported having
seen the colony at the mouth of the
east fork of Meacham creek. Other
sportsmen made similar reports. Last
week Hauswirth was hunting in the
vicinity and made a special trip to
look at the beaver. He was surprised
to find no sign Of any of the animals
there, despite the fact that last year
he visited the same place and found
that they had multiplied greatly since
his former visit
Their dams and houses were still
there but no indication that any an
imals had been about for some time
The beaver is projected in Oregon
and has been for some years. Time
was when the streams of the state
were alive with the fur bearers. 1t
is just possible that someone, during
the past winter. defied the law and
exterminated the colony on Meacham
creek for the sake of the furs
