Track Done and
Tryouts Commence

The track at the roundup grounds
was finished last night and in about
a week tryouts will commence. There
are one or two relay teams already
on the scene and the riders will prac-
tice daily, Owners of unbroken hors-
es will seize the opportunity to have
their animals tried out in the hopes
of developing outlaws, and some live
ly afternoons are promised. Tracey
Lane staged the first tryout of the
season the other day when he hailed
a passerby who was leading a mule.
The mules owner answered that the
animal was not broken, and expressed
his doubts of his being broken.
Tracey invited the owner and the
mule into the arena and put on a
pretty exhibition of the art of riding
bucking mule bareback.

Soda to be Piped
From SOnger Well

Mineral Water Plant Superintend-
ent Walker has been authorized to
purchase the necessary pipe and pro
ceed with the connection of the Son
ger soda well and the pipe line from
the Dodge we'll. The Dodge water is
unsatisfactory and the Songer water
has proven excellent after three
weeks of continuous pumping. A
pump is already located at the Son
ger well. The water pump will not
affect the gas pump. The cost of the
change will be partially cared for by
the sale of the apparatus at the
Dodge well and the remainder from
the auxiliary water fund. The new
soda water resembles the Kingsbury
water and is very palatable and
should prove popular.

STOCK LETTER By R. Allyn Lewis

Stocks looked little better at Mon days close due to some. short covering in Steels, where a big short interest has been built up in recent declines There was no news of importance to cause any decided change and the mar ket is in a waiting attitude.
 investigations show that the public holdings in the stock market at the present time are the smallest since last winter. Even in the industrial list out side commitments are small except in a few specialties. There are good req sons aside from this condition for say ing that stocks are in strong hands. | Over extended short accounts may have a good deal to do in determining the price movements of Beth. Steel "B'' and the minor steel industrials during the current week. Talk about Crucible coming from strong sources is the most bullish character and attention is con- ] ltinually called to the way in which that stock holds when the remainder of the i list is under pressure and sustaining a violent decline. Vigorous advances are also looked forward to in Baldwin Locomotive Rep. Steel and Lack. Steel. There was special talk in important quarters again on Saturday about U. s. Rubber and it is strong.
 Cotton broke fifty points from Sat ,urdays close but gained half of this back and closed strong Sentimen
 generally is bearish on crop prospects, looking better but it is too late now to be of material benefit and believe cot
 ton should be bought on all weak spots.
