THE DENVER MARKETS.

Denver Union Sock Yards, April
23.-Receipts OF cattle here last
week were quite liberal but the mar
ket somewhat uneven. Early in the
week prices were higher but later
under the influence of lower mar
kcts east. most of the advance was
lost leaving the market very much
as 1t was a week ago. Today, sup
plies We're fair and prices around
dime lower on practically every
thing with some OF the commoner
cattle showing even more decline
Good beef steers are selling here
from $10.75 to S11.5O and right
choice, wcll-finished kinds are quot
ed up to Sl1.75. Cows of good quail
ity are bringing 1921 20 S9.75 with
choice, well-finished cows up to $40
and fancy heifers at $1O.25. Fair
cows arc selling from sS.25 to 50.
Bulls are bringing $3.50 to 80, ac-
cording to quality. and choice light
weight veal calves are selling up to
fairly active with a very good de-
mand but not many coming to mar
ket. Prices are a little lower on
account of the general decline. Good
light steers are selling from IS to
$S.75, and choice heavier steers up
to 1915. Stock cows and heifers
are in good demand, especially those
showing calf.
Hog prices are somewhat lower
than they were last week Good
hogs sold today around $15.25 to
$15.75. The demand hero is good
and everything offered is moving
readily, packers prcferring the heav-
ier weight hogs as they have for
some time.
Sheep supply CONTINUES very fair
but quality is not so good as it was
owing to the fact that most of the
stuff coming is cleanup shipments
Prices are holding up we'll with good
to choice fat lambs selling from
S14.50 to S15.25 and good fat ewes
from s115O to S12.25. Demand is
strong here for all good sheep and
lambs offered and more desirable
stuff could be used to advantage.

 WOrkmen.

AMSTERDAM, June 5.-(Via Lon dOn) Referring to the message of Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, to he council of workingmen and sol 1iers' delegates at PetrOgrad, in which the continuation of the efforts to overthrow German autocracy and militarism was urged, the German so- cial democratic newspaper Interna- tional Korrespondendez says:
 "Mr. Gompers' exhortations are on the same level as the Herr Legien (Carl Rudolph Legion, president of the German Federation of Trades Union), should demand that we con- tinue the war with America until the latter rid herself of her trust magnates and restored Cuba and the Philippines. Fortunately not even Legien is such a war maniac

COL RICHARDSON MAKES ANSWER
Valdez Miner)

Cvaldez Mner)
 The Miner in receipt of the following letter rom Colonel w. P. Richardson, which is self explanatory and evidently accurate in all it's statements as to need comment ~ . ,o,7 Editor The Miner Valdez, Alaska:
 Sir: During the month of November, Goth and Sth 1915 the Seward Post published defamatory artl cles concerning myself and the work Of the Alaska Road Commission, emanating from ExDelegate wick ersham and from MT. John E. Ballane having refer ence in particular my alleged opposition to the gov. ernment railroad in Alaska and to the conditions ana uses of the Valdez Fairbanks wagon road
 When these articles reached me at Washington sent letter to Post in reply, which that paper refused publish.
 As the attack was entirely unprovoked and unwar- raned in fact, ask you to kindly publish the follow ing which embraces the substance of my letter to the Post:
 "The Delegates statement alleging activity on my party against the railroad bill is falsehood Equally false is the statement of the character or the valdez Fairbanks road. No establishment of phrase or ad- dtiona words of emphasis can strengthen the simple
 "The effuson from John E. Ballane reads like the babblings of disordered mind. This individual is more untruthful-f such thing possible than the Delegate himself. This pair of co-work CTS in the general business of defamng decent people agency agencies in existence in my judgment.
 I desire to forever record officially both ments Their publicity seems timely now in view of the fact that former Delegate Wckersham, as com he could during the last winter prevent the Road Commission from getting any funds for it's work; and that John E Balaine is now trying to get himself ap pointed Colonel of Volunteers in the Army and be assigned to take charge of the road work in Alaska claiming to be well quelified' account of fifteen years experience in railroad building and mining in the Territory
 As to the Valdez Fairbanks road, let say that whether the exgences of the public service permit the central office of the Road Commission remain at Valdez or not it is my purpose to continue to i'm and maintain the road to the interior so long shall have charge of the work in accordance with the plan approved long before the railroad bill was passed to the end that there may be route from the coast to the interior which may be travelled free of charge This with no sentiment of antagonsm to the railroad. That project will require many roads and trails feeders in order to become success, l have pointed and emphasized in my annual reports-Aaska needs all the roads she can get Very truly yours,

JUNEAU AND THE LIBERTY LOAN

Juneau will have purchased approximately S5oooo Of the Liberty Loan bonds by the time the sale shall have ended. That is not bad for this community, and indicates the interest the people are taking in financing the "to make the world safe for dem ocracy" The bond ills absolutely safe if anything in this country is The interest rate-3i2 per cent small in the North but the purpose for which the money is wanted is public that concerns every American citizen. Upon the acceptance by the public of these bonds and such others as might be s- sued before the close of the depends the fate of the American Nation and the fate of the Nation is the greatest of every citizen
 It is provided in the bonds that if any subse- quen of bonds offered bearing higher interest rate the rate bonds will be automatically n- creased equal percentage Therefore if one has money that he would like to invest in National bonds, or that he would like to permit his country to use she needs it. there is need for delay in putting up the money. The earlier it is invested the sooner will it begin earning interest.
