BARRE GOLF CLUB.
Members Regret the Death of an Old
Member, James Reid.

The weekly tournament of the Barre
Golf club is now in full swing, but the
scores for last week were not quite so
good as in other weeks. There were a
large number of players on the links
Saturday afternoon. The large flag at
the clubhouse was lowered to half mast,
as a token of respect for one who had
been long -time member of the Barre
Golf club, who passed away on Saturday
forenoon. This member, James Reid,
was faithful worker for the club and
was known by all golfers throughout
the state. Mr.. Reid was always in the
lineup when the club had team match
on. He also took care OF the course
for a season and made many improve
ments while in that position. He was
also well known at the Montpelier Coun-
try club, as he was in charge OF the
course there for a season. Mr.. Reid was
we'll liked by all who knew him and all
members of the Barre Golf club will miss
him and regret the loss of such a mem

notice has been posted at the clubhouse,
whereby all members who wish to enter
this tournament are asked to sign their
names on or before Saturday, June 80,
as the names will then be drawn and
the tournament started the following
week. The tournament committee will
meet at the clubhouse next Wednesday
night to arrange competitions for July 4

Ships OF over 900 tons are the ones

into effect, have a greater number of

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
Kansas City, Mo-, 7-27, 1917
 Cattle

With another record break ing run of cattle here this week the market has ruled uneven. The choice heavy corn fed steers have been scarce and about steady, with the tops selling up to 1890, a new top. The first three days of this week grassers with any flesh at all sold readily to the killers at good prices. However, yester- day and today trading was very dull and the market broke 35 to 75c on this class of killing steers. The packer buyers sim ply had all their orders filled out of the first 3 days heavy re- ceipts. It is hard to say what they will do on this class next week, but if we have another heavy run Monday and Tues day, would not be surprised to see a lower market.
 Our butcher market was fairly active the first of the week but since then has been shot all to pieces. All classes of cows, heifers and bulls are lower, with the common and plain kinds hard to> >sell at 50 to 75c lower prices in lots of cases. Veal and killing calves slow and 75-1.5O' lower; top veals $12.5O.
 Stockers and feeders came in freely this week, due to the dry weather in the Southwest and trading was very dull and drag gy. The lack of rain in Mis- souri, Kansas and Nebraska is keeping the buyers and even the best classes of stock cattle are quite a little lawer for the week. Common and plain kinds of stockers and feeders, stock COWS and heifers uneven ly lower and almost unstable at the close.
 Hogs
 Receipts of hogs were mod crate this week and trading slow and uneven. Shippers have taken a few of the choice light weight butchers but it has largely been a packer market. While the packers have shown a good demand for hogs of all weights, especially heavies, all other kinds have been slow sellers at very uneven prices. Pig market slow and closing sharply lower. In summing up our hog market today as com pared with a week ago today, it shows Soc higher on top and 1 5 to soc on bulk sales.
 With 250O hogs here today our market was steady with a top of 1900, which was paid for the best load of hogs that has been here in several days. Bulk sales 14.90 to 1875. Hogs avg. 2OOfb and over sold large Iy from 1850 to 15.75. Lights mostly 15.00 to 15.45. Heavy pigs 1850 to 14.25. Stock pigs 1000 to 11.50.
 We consider the outlook for next week uncertain with the prospects of a light run.
 Yours very truly Cassidy Southwestern Com. Co:

Culver and the county court, and this
evening the county court will submit
what it thinks is fair figure for the
barges and the time put in by Skinner
& Bushnell,
Objection was made by the committed
to the item of 81 200 for the two barges
as it had information that the barges
had been for sale for several months at
$3.50 each and that this was probably
the price they were worth rather than
5000 each.
The committee could not see why $12O
attorneys fees should be considered part
of the cost of the barges and also the
item of $327.25 for labor looked too
large. There was no objection to pay
ing to Skinner & Busnnell $610 salary
for two months they claimed to have
worked on the two barges. And $17S
travelling expenses looked pretty big to
the committee after allowing $610 in
salary for the go days they claimed to
have worked.
The proposition of Skinner & Bushnell
which they claimed to be their actual
outlay in preparing to put in ferry at
Salem is as follows:
."In accordance with the agreement
entered into with committee of your
citizens and the honorable mayor of
your city with the Salem Ferry company
yesterday, we beg to submit the follow
ing proposition based upon our actual
expenditures and liabilities incident to
secmuring, preparing and maintaining
ferry equipment now ready for opera
tion at Salem, Oregon.
"The itemized account attached here
to showing total of $4,40304 is a cor.
rect statement of expenditures and liza
bilities and we are offering today to
surrender all our right, title and inter-
est in and to the said ferry equipment
for the said sum of $4,403.04 plus 25
per cent which you have suggested as a
