CATTLE MARKET
Special Correspondence.

Special Correspondence
 KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS April 16.- Cattle receipts of 13,0O sold mostly steady today, some steer sales 10 lower, top Sl275. Hog re- ceipts were l2,0O0, market steady early, but 10 lower at the close, top SlG.25. Sheep and lambs sold steady to strong, with some haggling over prices. receipts 5000, top lambs Sl5.60.
 Beef Cattle.
 Kansas native steers sold at Sl265 and Sl27S, and two loads of choice pulp fed Westerns brought Sl275. These top cattle sold steady Middle grades of native steers were 10 lower, sales from Sl0.50 to S1225, light weight silage fed steers SS75 to S10.25. Whatever weakness there was on steers today was due to the fact that Chicago had a good run both last Wednesday and today, with soft spots in the market. The general situation IS strong, and advances are scheduled, especially on top grades. Cows and butcher grades sold steady today, with good COWS at S9 to S1075, lower grades of COWS and canners down wards to S6.50. Bulls bring SS.50 to Sl0, veal calves up to SIS.
 Stockers and Feeders.
 Feeders sold up to S11l5 last week, and stock steers to Sl0.30, all of the decline of the week before having been rcgained The market is steady today, with most of the stock steers selling at SS.25 and upwards, feeders So50. During the first half of April this year 26,00O stockers and feeders went to the country from here, 6,000 more than same days last year.
 Hogs.
 For nearly a week packers have used every effort to depress prices, but the top today was Sl625, only cents under the highest point reached so far this year, paid last Thursday Shippers made the early market, pay ing up to Sl625, but packers held out, and bought their hogs 10 lower, at Sl615 and downwards. Medium weights sold up to S16.l5, light Sl5.9O, bulk of sales Sl5.70 to SI615. It is believed that the packers position is arbitrary, and that the market will make some strong advances in the near future, although it is likely that the government will stop the advance within reasonable limits.
 Sheep and Lambs.
 Lambs sold up to S15.60, not quite top quality most of the good lambs around Sl5.50. clipped lambs about 8 under wool skins, ycarlings worth up to S1425. wethers S13.25, ewes S3. Clipped Angora brusher goats sell up to S.50, fat ones SS, unciipped An goras to killers up to So. slick haired goats S650 and upwards Receipts will run light here for month or six weeks, and the market should rule strong.

tsckcd. It was not alleged that any fraud had been committed there and TO proof was offered or consummatcd of attempted fraud. It was only wild ly surmised that some of the voters might have been influenced: it was charged that in violation of the strict 1 laws regulating election procedure opportunity for the exercise of such influence was presented. It did not matter that the community of Snow flake is far above the average com munity in morals: that the practices there had been so frank as to preclude the suspicion that fraud had been con tcmplated.
 Thus another entirely new phase of tEe contest was presented. It was assumed that however moral com munity may be, it cannot be permit ted to engage in practices which may not be employed in an immoral, cor rupt community. If the door had been opened to fraud in Snowflake, though fraud did not enter or did not lurk in that vicinity, the votes of Snowflake must be rejected. The purpose of the law is to keep the door closed against fraud.
 The investigation thcreupon ceased to be to determine whether more qualified voters had desired the cleo ton of Governor Hunt than had de- s,red the election of Governor Camp bell. The contest as between them had ended with tine rejection of Douglas precinct No. l. They could Ge affected only incidentally by the disclosures in the new phase of the investigation, the failure of certain precincts to observe rigidly the cleo ton laws-a failure to keep the door closed against possible fraud. Only two precincts have so far been in- vestigated under this head: Snowflake and Douglas No. 1. There are some half dozen others where it is alleged the election laws were as recklcssly violated, where all day on November / the door through which fraud might have been admitted was kept unlocked and swinging. There are only six days for the investigation of these and other precincts. Can the election laws be vindicatcd in six days: This seems to be a more timc-consuming task than the creation of the universe. Are Snowflake and Douglas No. alone. both or one of them, to be made scapegoats or objects of vicarious puniShmcnt?-Arizona Republican.

WASHINGTON, D. c. = From the
lips of President Wilson himself Ar
thur J. Balfour, British secretary for
foreign affairs, learned the grim pur-
pose of the American government and
people to employ all their resources
to bring the imperial German govern

it clear to Mr.. Balfour during the
threequarters of an hour conference
at the White House, in which Secre.
tary Lansing participated, that the
United States fully realizes the great
ness of the task it has assumed The

Gil of national defense are concentrat.

Greatest Battle Of War in the
Skies Is Fought.
ONLY z ENGLISH FLYERS LOST

GcIHldu EinCS FIC ha'SS0-t 49, nv
Battle of Arras continues-Most
Desperate Fight of War-British
Take Two Towns and Many Pris-
oners.
LONDON, ENG. = The intensely
bitter ground fighting of the last two
days has been reflected in the air and
the British royal flying corps has es-
tablished a new record by bringing
down forty German machines. Fifteen
of these were actually seen to crash,
while twenty-five collapsed or fell in
spinning nose dives, completely out of
control.
The fights took place $4,000 feet in
the air, from which distance it is bare
ly possible to see the ground and
wholly impossible to see an adver-
sary crash unless the pilot deliberate
ly follows down. Such a course is not
feasible where the fighting has taken
on the character of a general melee,
as is nowadays often the case.
A remarkable part of the perform
ance is that only two British machines
are missing.
British Continue to Gain.
LONDON, ENG.-The British gain
ed ground On wide front Monday
night south of the Bapaume Cambria
road. They reached the st. Quentin
canal at one point Farther north the
village of Beaucamp and .Villiers-
Plouich were captured.
The positions gained on the French
front Monday, says the official state
ment, were maintained and further
progress was made east of Monchy
and near Roeux More than 1.50G pris-
oners were taken in the operations
Monday and many more are COM
ing in.
German Reserves Are Thrown In.
Reuters correspondent at the front
says:
"The fighting now proceeding is the
fiercest seen in this war. The Ger
mans have thrown in large reserves
and have brought up a great number
of fresh guns.
"They probably realize that the bat
tie now developing may assume a de-
cisive character and they are resist
ing desperately. They are doing just
what we desire The German army is
to be defeated and broken only by
hard fighting, and the recent move
ment of the enemy justified some
doubt as to whether they would stand
further hard fighting. They certainly
are doing it now and accepting battle
in the open. So far we have gained a
good deal and have lost nothing"
Fierce Battle RACES at Arras.
Correspondents at British headquar-
tiers in France concur in statements
that the battle which has been re
sumed at Arras is much fiercer than
when it began. The Germans, they
say, were fully prepared for it's re
newal and are being stimulated to ex
IRENE resistance by their officers. One
of the correspondents asserts that il
is one of the most difficult battles OF
the whole war.
The Germans, by frantic work, the
correspondent adds, have constructed
numerous trenches and machine gur
pits, not in definite line, but strewr
everywhere in apparent disorder, as i
each position had been selected by
virtue of some rise in the ground

New Way to Stop Fire

The following letter sent out
by the Northwestern Mutual Fire
Association may be of benefit to
our farmers in case of a grain
field fire.
Mr.. Armstrong reports a new
method of controlling a fire. In
a heavy field of barley, started
by sparks from the thresher en-
CINE, the flames were leaping so
high that great difficulty was en-
countered toward stopping them.
There were two header wagons
at the machine at the time, so
the clevis pins were pulled and
the eveners and doubletrees drop
ped on the ground. A couple of
men then jumped onto the even
ers and they ran those two four
horse teams around through the
grain ahead of the fire. The re-
suit was thu a strip of grain
about twenty feet wide was
smashed so flat to the ground
that the fire did not run through
it readily, and the spread of the
fire was so retarded and checked
that it was extinguished with
shovels and wet sacks.
Mr.. Armstrong reported that
he had seen a header used to cut
grain down close so that the fire
could be stopped, but that this
was the first time he had seen
the fire controlled and stopped
with header box teams as was
done in this particular case.
This fire was near Prescott,
and as soon as the fire started, a
message reporting it was phoned
to Waitsburg and Prescott, and
inside of twenty minutes there
were more than fifty automobiles
on the ground, loaded with men
and fire fighting apparatus, the
Home Guards of both Prescott
and Waitsburg turning out strong
and getting quick action. How
ever, owing to t h e effective
means of stopping the fire used
by the threshing crew, the fire
was under control when the Home
Guards arrived.
This is a splendid instance Of
effective work by a threshine
