BULL ASSOCIATION
FOR SMALL DA|RYMAN

A bull for beef purposes is worth
just as much as the butcher will
rivee for him. But bull as the head
cf your dary herd Is either worth
more than you can get for him at
the slaughter house or he is worth so
much less that it would be safe 10
say that he Is worth less. than moth
ing.
A bull that sires a daughter that
IL worth less than her mother is a
Loney-losing proposition. One often
hears the remark, my bull isn't
much good, but he is better than
lone at ALL" This remark in itself
shows that the speaker Is either new
at the business or is barely making
ends meet. A man who is making a
success of the dairy business knows
t1at If he wishes to continue his sue
cess he cannot be handicapped by a
scrub bull.
II is time that good pure bred
ball cost more money than grade
ball, and many small dairmen can
not afford to put out the money. but
any group of eight or ten farmers
can get together and form bull as
sociation and thereby get the servi-
ces OF a pure-bred bill al less out
lay Of capital than they can get by
using a grade bull.

Commissioner. Fort Collins, Colo.

REPUBLICANS URGE
EARLY ADOPTION

Several prominent Republicans of
the state, among whom we under
stand is Governor Shupe, have sign
ed a message to Senator Phipps to
favor an early ratification Of the
Peace Treaty and the League OF Ma
tions, however asking for certain
reservations, as follows:
FirstThat where the covenant
provides that a member may with
draw upon two years notice pro-
yided its obligations have been full
filed. the provision should be con-
strued as giving to every member of
the league, and, therefore to the
United States as one OF the mem
bers, the exclusive right to deter
mine whether its own obligations
have been fulfilled
Second-That where the covenant
provides that nothing therein is to
be considered as affecting the Mon
roe Doctrine, the Interpretation is
that the Monroe Doctrine as defined
by the United States is exempt from
the jurisdiction Of, and considera-
tion by the League.
Third-That where the covenant
provides that the League shall not
retain jurisdiction of the domestic
questions of its various members,
and, therefore OF the United States,
the Interpretation should be to the
effect that the domestic questions
are excepted from submission to,
and consideration by the League,
and that immigration, citizenship,
coastwise trade and the tariff are ex-
amples OF what the United States
considers domestic questions.
Fourth-Where the covenant con-
templates that economic boycott or
war may be declared by the members
Of the League against one Of their
number who has offended by violat-
ing the obligations imposed by me
League, the Interpretation should be
to the effect that under our consti-
tuition Congress shall be the sole
judge, when the occasion arises, as
to whether the provisions of the COW
enant,- according to their intent and
meaning, as applied to the circum-
stance OF the occasion, require or do
not require the United States to de-
clare or participate either in an &C.
onomic boycott or in war.

RAILROAD WELL
STANDS TEST

A thirty day test pumping the
railroad we'll has demonstrated that
1t has reasonably strong flow of
water and the quality. since the well
was cleaned out and the well kept
pumped down is as good as any
about and much better than some.
While the flow is not as strong as
we would like, II will meet present
needs OF the town and when that is
'outgrown additional wells Will have
to be provided.
A large amount of refuse was TAX
en- from the we'll, including an old
platform that had rotted and fallen
into 1t and good deal of stuff had
been thrown in from time to time.
1t had been reported that clean
ing the we'll might reveal skeletons
OF men and animals and other grue-
some things. but marry bone was
brought to the surface, though sew
eral days were spent in the work
and every thing was taken out that
had been allowed to fall into the
we'll.
Near the bottom OF the we'll tun-
nels are dug out in each direction
OF the compass, some of them run
hing as much as sixty feet, and
these are in as good condition as the
day they were dug.
With the water supply assured,
there is nothing to hinder going
ahead and getting the contracts for
the erection OF the tower and put
ting In the mains.
Mr.. Rohrbough, an engineer from
Omaha, who has long experience in
such work was here recently and his
method of doing business and his
charges for the same were so salts
fastory to the Council that they
have contracted with him for plans
The difficulty Of obtaining mater
ial will probably delay the matter
some and it seems that the cost may
be higher than to have gone ahead
last spring, but we are of the opin-
ion that better system will result,
well worth the additional cost

what he is worth as a beef animal. No
one can determine his value but the
men In the pens,-the commission men
and the buyers.
Buyers Represent Many Firms
Many think that these cattle are all
purchased by the big packers. which
Is far from being the case. Besides
the buyers for the big packers there
are always In the Chicago yards from
a hundred to hundred and fifty other
buyers on the scene, many Of them
representing firms that are not located
near the stock yards or even in the
same city. All told, the large pack.
ers do only "A per cent Of the meat
animal slaughtering Of the entire COM
try.
The penalty which awaits the buyer
who will not bid up to true values Is
that the other buyers take the cattle
away from him and his firm will be
without Its requirements. On the 9TH
e. hand the commission men cannot
stick It out for an exorbitant price; !;
for the buyers would cut down on the
amounts Of their purchases. There
are some people who will buy meat
a. any price, but the majority of peo-
pie reduce their meat purchases pre-
clsely as the prices mount upward.
The buyers in the stock yards reflect
this attitude Of the general public al
most as accurately as thermometer
indicates the temperature.
The Arena Of Supply and Demand.
In other words, the stock yards are
the meeting places Of two tremendous
powers Of the economic world,-Sup-
ply and Demand. Any one who WIS.,
its one Of these places, even as the
most casual observer, and watches
what occurs there, will give up any
Illusion he may have about monopoly
or control. Too many buyers and sell
ers are involved, and judging the
value Of an individual steer or a pen
full Of steers is altogether too compli-
Gated matter to cover by any sort
Of agreement In advance.
The Kenyon bill would make 1t ille-
gal for any packers to have financial
holdings In stock yards corporations.
Common sense rightly asks, 'WhyT
How such holdings which, where they
exist, are nothing more than financial
backing OF worthy enterprise, can
control the men In the pens who are
hired to use their judgment, is too
deep to be seen at a glance. The ad-
vocates Of the bill should be forced to
explain. And how lack of such hold
ings would prevent control or monop-
oily, ifsuch things were possible, is an
other thing which the proponents Of
the bill should be able to eIucidate.

SMALL PACKERS OPPOSE LICENSE

Cincinnati meat packers In drawing
resolutions against the licensing Of
all packers doing interstate business,
brought attention to the fact that the
proposed legislation embodied In the
Kenyon and Kendrick bills, IL enacted,
would have tendency to drive hun
dreds Of small packing firms out of the
field Of interstate operations. This
would be the preference forced upon
them as against operating under a Il.
censlng system which would be con.
tinued menace of interference.

This will be one Of the questions

II these big markets, where millions
upon millions Of dollars change hands,
have any sort of a strangle-hold on
our food resources, few there would
be who would not say, rout them. Yet
equally few. perhaps, could give you
any sort Of a vivid word-picture Of
what takes place In these markets
through which flows much Of our farm
wealth.
Separate From Packing Plants,
The "stock yards" are synonymous
In the minds Of many people with all
packingdom. This Is error number
one. They are operated as corpora.
tlons wholly distinct from the packing
plant companies that cluster around
them.
The stock yards perform two func-
tions: they are unloading, feeding
and resting stations for live stock and
markets for buying and selling. As
buying and selling places, they are
among the most interesting spots In
the workplaces where one may see
a nation at Its bartering. Huge auc-
tlon stations where a fraction Of a
point counts. and counts big.
The Chicago stock yards. as the
most notable example. will receive In
day anywhere from 10000 to 10000
cattle, not to mention hogs and sheep.
These would represent shipments by
many farmers. Each farmer puts his
cattle into the hands Of a commission
firm who acts as his agent. The "stock
In trade" Of the commission firm Is a
satisfied clientele among the farmers
the better bargainers they are for
long price, the more the farmer is dis.
posed to patronize them.
A Game for Experts.
It Is titanic game, and one for ex-
perts. On the one side are arrayed
the commission men, and on the other
the buyers representing packing con-
Germs, brokers and others. Both sides
know their business, which is to say
that they know full well what the re.
ceipts Of the day are and their rela-
tion to the requirements. and they
know cattle.
The big auction begins. Not from
a block, but an auction for all that
Buyers, mounted on ponies, scurry
hither and thither. making bid on
one lot here and on another lot there.
The commission man will hold the bid
In allegiance, dickering for few points
higher price and awaiting the arrival
Of another man on pony who may
make him better offer. Every COM
mission man is competitor of all the
other commission men and every buy
er is competitor Of all the other buy
ers.
We say that all Of these men know
cattle. A steer is not a standardized
commodity. Nature makes him what
he is. The contour of his launches,
the build Of his body and his makeup

 Governor Thomas Riggs, Jr.. in his recent annual report to Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane, rec commended the establishment of fed eral police organization.
 Secretary Lane. in his yearly re port. included the following para graph regarding police protection in Alaska:
 Outside of the incorporated towns there is but little police protection except as afforded by various wardens and special employees for the suppress sion of the liquor traffic among the natives.
