AN INTERNATIONAL FENCE.
WouId End "ReciprocaI RustIng' of
 Cattle on Border.

An international fence along the Mexican border, horse high, bull strong and practically man proof, is the suggestion made by members of the Arizona Live stock Sanitary Board for the purpose of putting a stop to the reciprocal rustling" of cattle that is sicontin ually going on in the border district.
 The cattle rustling situation on the Arizona Mexico border is getting so serious as to require the attention not only of the state livestock board and their inspectors, but the military au- thorities as we'll.
 The Arizona Livestock Board received letter from Colonel Carnahan, of the Twenty fifth Infantry, in charge of the No gales district on the border. call ing attention to the amount of cattle. thievery going on in that district from both sides. and pointing out the possible conse- quences and suggesting means of stopping the practice.
 While Colonel Carnahan is careful to state that it is not a military matter; that he is more than willing to be of any possi ble assistance in devising me- thods of combating the prac- tice, and suggests that represen- tative cattlemen from both sides of the line get together at some border point, with the board and the military authorities, and de- wise means of putting a stop to cattle running.
 From the reports that we have been receiving" said Chair man B. H. Crabb, of the live stock board, it seems apparent be called reciprocal rustling' going on from both sides. A gang of Mexican rustlers come over and run off lot of Amer ican cattle. Then a lot of Amer jeans, who are only looking for an excuse, go over and run off a lot of Mexican cattle to get even. The practice must be stopped in some way, and the board will probably adopt the of Colonel Carnahan for a meeting on the border to look into the matter.
 "The board would like to see a strong, substantial fence along the border, but we have never before said so because it seemed unlikely of accomplishment. Perhaps the matter has by this time gotten into such serious shape that the suggestion for an international fence will be taken up seriously. It would not ab- solutely prevent rustling, but it would help to track and capture both varieties of bandits, be. cause they would have to cut the fence to make a raid. and would be easily tracked from the point where they crossed the line"

NEW YoRk coFrEr MARKET

New York, Aug. 25.-Throughout the
morning session trade interests were
aggressive sellers, their offerings of
fairly good sized blocks driving values
down from the initial figures at II 80
a. M, December having touched ~. O6,
March 1890 and May 1885, or about
20 points below the previous close.
This slump carried December to over
DC below the high point of 24c, reached
on June IL last.
The local spot market was quiet, but
early in the day It was impossible to
correctly quote the market until the
exchange trading had become more set
tied.
While some of the recent prominent
bulls express the opinion that prices are
very low, it is believed unlikely that
they will attempt at the moment to ad-
vance values in the face of such sharp
breaks in the primary markets.

Chicago. Aug. 25.-Buying by com
mission houses and covering by shorts
caused a decided stiffening in prices
for corn today, after they had moved
crratically, with an inclination to weak
ness. Offerings toward the close fell off
sharply and bears were less aggressive.
Except for parts of the southwest,
where moisture has been scarce, weather
and crop news we're favorable. Receipts
were little frcer, but traders expected
little, II any, accumulation during the
remainder of the season.
Reports from the country indicated
that holders were more willing to sell.
fearing competition from Texas. The
car situation was unsatisfactory. A
private dispatch from Buffalo said that
1t was showing there, with a cold wind
blowing across the lakes.
Part of the selling early was due to
rerossons in prices for hogs and the
cash article and sharp loss in wheat
values at Minneapolis, owing to heavy
receipts.
Oats followed the trend of corn. Trade
was confined to local interests gcncr-
ally. The demand from outsiders was
small. Buying by commission houses
was apparent on all breaks.

About all the talking has been done
that is necessary for the big project
Of building the Memorial building.
We all agree that We can build It;
that II Is practical; that we cannot Rf-
ford to be without II, but we have not
individually decided that we would
carry our part Of II. After all, what
we must now do is to dig down and
produce the coin. There is plenty of
money in baxter Springs and the i'm
mediate field to put over this big
building. It's just q matter of home
town pride from this on. Enough
pride will build 1t, and lack Of pride
will kill It.
The plan for raising this money
will be decided by body Of men who
are taken from all walks Of life in
this city. If you believe in your home
town, talk this proposition to your
neighbor and get behind the men who
are behind this thing and put It over.
In addition to about $4,000 to be
spent here this summer in work, this
building will increase property values
az least $50. Can there be need Of
further argument?

PRICE FIXED BY COMMISSION

There is a wide divergence Of legal
opinion on the decision made Tues
day by the U. S. Supeme Court on the
natural gas suit instituted by Kansas,
which also effects Missouri. The de-
cision sets aside the ruling of Judge
Booth of Kansas, in the suit brought
by the Kansas Natural against the
public utilities commission which
sought to enforce a maximum rate Of
20 cents, which the court denied, on
the ground that the commission could
not fix rates.
The pice now will be fixed by the
state utility commission, but when is
uncertain. The increased rates paid
by the public may be recovered by in
dividual legal proceedings when it is
known what the difference in the rate
will be.

cludes what the city had done before
the Empire took the contract together
with $3.50 feet-approximate-
pleted by Mr.. Thompson.
The ditching for the sewer system
shows that in some places the ditch
has to go down twelve to fifteen feet,
while in other places it will run all
the way from four feet to eight and
ten, making an average, perhaps of
eight feet.
The reporters version of the mat
ter is CLEANED from those with whom
he talked, and that is that the Empire
people should be held to the contract
without any quibbling. If the bid was
too low, and no doubt it was, it was
no fault of the city. The city knows,
as we'll as many others, that 81 per
foot for the sewer system was too
low; that the sewer could not be put
in for that amount, but Mr.. Thompson
said it could and he was given the con-
tract.
The Empire agreed to finish up q
little work by noon Wed. and would
then abandon the job.
This leaves the city in bad shape
with the sewer system with hot wealth
er but a little way in the future.
