FOR FAT CATTLE
Recent Gains Retained with
Small Run Which Was
Estimated at 1900.

South St. Paul. July 2s.-Butcher
cattle receipts were very light all
around the western market circuit
yesterday with only about $500 head
at nine principal packing centers.
Harvest activities and haying have
minimized loading at country points
and influence of the break in prices
trymen have been impressed with the
inadvisability Of crowding the market
during the hot weather period.
Prospects are for a pretty good
sized run at the start of next week
with moro or less western stuff ex-
pected to arrive at tho various pack
ing centers In addition to seasona BILE
consignments Of native kinds. Stock
on hand here yesterday was of the
eral merits.
Clearance was firm for all grades
represented with advance of Is to 25
cents over q week ago commonly
reported for butcher steers. she stock
and bulls except cutter and Gamer
grades which were not quite SO much
improved.
The assortment Of steers was
measer and included nothing Of
salable between $3.50 and 800 were
weighed to packers early and there
was not much capable Of commanding
more money although toppy dry-fed
beeves remain eligible to $500 pre-
MUM or moro over those figures.
Best lot here was q good sized con-
signment Of Minnesota fed steers of
tho 1166-pound class which reached
$S.75. Many common lots culled
from the feeder and stocker crop
were forced directly to the shambles.
Cows and heifers were Of medium
to common grassy variety mostly and
sales UP to 800 or $7.26 were ex-
oeptional. The $500 to $3.50 spread
took most lots above cutter and can
ner grade while from nickel-a-
pound down stock resembled kinds
moved at corresponding figures a
week ago closely.
Bulls which had been boosted IS
cents or moro in spots Wednesday
and Thursday were not in az keen
request yesterday as at the best time
but forfeited no pppreciable strength.
The $4.75 to $3.50 rates applied to
| most. Veal calves hold steady with
top At $11.26 and heavier classes
from $3.50 down to $3.50, according
to quality.
Estimated receipts were 1000 cat.

IRREGULAR DEAL
FOR HOG SUPPLY
Much Business in this De-
partrnent Looks Steady
Estimate $500.

South St. Paul, July 29.-Run Of
hogs at this and other markets was
rather light yesterday as less than
$4,000 porkers showed up at the nine
principal western centers and the To-
cal contingent fell considerably short
of the arrivals a week ago and a year
ago yesterday.
There was some pretty good quality
stuff among arrivals and bids as high
as $3.50 were placed on some super.
ior lots and actual sale at $9.65 Of
good kind put top early as high as
that established the preceding day on
packer account. It is the right good
butcher sorts that are making the
and that class generally was rated as
about steady yesterday.
Bids on the mixed and common
droves were variously reported from
q nickel to q dime down and trade
had uneven aspect as a result.
Sales range was reported from
1915 to $3.50. with bulk of the crop
between $9.10 and 1925 and indica-
around 1924 against 1928 for the
yards Thursday. Several Of the better
droves cleared at 1926 and up. On
the other hand inferior packing lots
ranged down from 50 with usual dis
elimination against old skippy sows
and pigs. the LATHE still selling around
$3.50.
Overloaded and unclean cars are
causing increased losses in transit and
shippers are urged to spare no enort
to keep as clean and cool as possible
while the high temperatures last.
Estimated receipts were $500
against 6.087 = week ago and 6,o13 a
year ago.

SHEEP AND LAMB

Reaches $40.

South st. Paul. July 29.-For sheep
and lambs clearance was generally
stronger yesterday than on recent
sessions and much Of the material of
killer grade went to packers at a
quarter advance over Thursdays
terms. Break of rs cents which
lambs experienced at the start of the
week was offset by the up-turn and
top was restored to a $1,000 basis
while seconds which have been going
some made even better showing.
Ewes were boosted to 800 top
on packers list but heavy kinds were
held pretty close to the $5.76 limit
recently In force. Breeding ewes
have been much in demand all week
although yard dealers generally have
refused to follow the pace set by a
limited number Of outsiders who have
been paying $500 to $s.75 for high
ly lofty terms for two-year-olds and
full mouths.
Feeder grade has been Of negligible
volume but good use could be made

A drowsy pattern the sunlight weaves

AT THE CAPITAL.

(By Congressman G. G. Dill
Why is the preparedness senti-
ment on the Wane among mem
bers Of the House and Senate, is
common question among on
lockers here. The answer is
short. They have been hearing
from home. There is no doubt
about it.
Before Christmas many Of the
members of both parties who ia
vored the Presidents program,
since Christmas are openly oppos-
ing it. Why? They were home
for Christmas or received plenty
of mail on the subject. 81 can't
vote for the big increases pro-
posed for the army and navy be-
cause of my constituents, " is an
explanation for the change of
front.
In my own case | have not pre-
viously sent out letters to learn
the sentiment, although | am be-
ginning to do so now, and at
least Is per cent Of all those who
have written me on their own
initiative on this subject are OPP
posed to any big increase. But
there are many influences right
here in Washington that have de
stroyed much Of the sentiment for
preparedness. 1t has been stated
again and again by various mem
bers of both houses that during
the ten years preceding the Euro
pean war this government has
spent more money for a navy than
was spent for the same purpose
by any other nation in the world
except Great Britain. This has
raised the ugliest question yet
propOunded to the preparedness
propagandist, namely: If our
navy is so worthless as the big

convention will undoubtedly Sc
lect the national delegates. The
selection of a national committee
man, however, is a matter of i'm
portance of which the party
should take due consideration
In 1912 the state convention Sc
lected the committeeman, and the
unwise choice made at that time
has clearly demonstrated that this
state should use the method which
is not only wisest but which is
used in other states-selection of
national committeeman by the ma
tional delegates after the presi-
Dental nomination has been
made. Then the platform, all
party measures, and the party
nominees, are known. A man can
be selected who is in full accord
with the party leadership and
platform.
How foolish it is to name a man
as national committeeman before
the national party policy is es-
tablished, before the presidential
nomination is made, and before it
can possibly be known whether
the committeeman is the best man
to handle all conditions Of the
campaign. Fairness not only to
the man but to the party would
demand that all conditions be
know before the selection is made.

Roosevelt's clamor for greater
preparedness has been most in
teresting matter, and his fear
that Wilson will not prepare suf-
ficiently has brought out state
ments that Roosevelt has always
wanted a greater measure of pre-
paredness. Yet some unkind in
dividual has dug up the official
record of Roosevelt's reduction
of the regular army by 1000
men while he was president So
we wonder how much of Wilson s
program was really originated by
Roosevelt.
The San Poll Eagle, published
at Keller, thus bemoans the gen.
erous publicity which Colville is
securing for itself by it's activity:
"Many persons living in far dis
tant parts of the country, assume
that because a town is named Col
vile, it must necessarily be To-
Gated on the Colville reservation.
We receive letters asking ques-
tions about the town of Colville,
the writer taking it for granted
that Colville is somewhere on this
reservation. We beg to inform
our far away readers that the
town of Colville is the county seat
of Stevens county and no part of
that county is on this reservation.
Colville is about seventy-fve miles
northeast of Keller, and Judging
from reports, it is a volcanic
crater Of hot air in full eruption
over the opening Of this reserva-
tion. To heed much that is said
in that far off town one would
almost believe that Colville owns
this reservation and all who are
upon it. Even Clair Hunt, it is
said, is inviting all the homeseek-
ers to come to Colville and follow
him over here into the promised
land and stand with him where
Moses stood when he viewed the

It was to have been expected
that the Examiner editors alb
sence from town for a week would
upset general matters in this vi
cinity, but there was no intimation
Of the serious aspect OF the state
road situation which seemed to
develop while the editor was
drinking sweet cider in the former
booze emporiums of the Sound
metropolis. 1t seems that the
Marcus and Northport papers
have discovered a conspiracy on
the part Of Colville to move the
state road and have it pass by in
stead Of through that great rail
road center of Marcus. just who
has moved the road, or who con-
stitutes the Colville that did the
act, has not been disclosed by
Marcus or Northport newspapers,
and investigation hereabouts fails
to disclose the culprit.
So far as any information can
be obtained, the road from Col
vile north is not established, has
not been established, and will not
be established for some years, and
we see no likelihood Of an appro-
priation being made before March,
1919. We feel like going in with
Marcus and Northport in offering
a suitable reward for the appre-
hension of any person or persons
who have been carelessly hand
ling this state road which as yet
is but in the minds of it's desirous
possessors, and if Colville is
guilty, we will take pleasure in
helping to locate that particular
part of Colville which may be
guilty.
