CATTLE MARKET

MARKET" said a local cattle man
the fore part of this week on his
return from Miles City. while
in town I was approached by
half a dozen cattle buyers. They
offered me $50 head but /
declined to sell at that figure,
holding the price on my cattle
at $S5 head. l am confident
that within a short time range
cattle will bring this price and
perhaps better. 1nasmuch as we
have no late cattle market quo
tations we are from one to two
weeks behind the times in this
respect and have been relying on
belated letters and newspapers
for this information. We are
therefore not posted as to the
very latest market quotations
and are liable to be victimized
by buyers who are aware Of con-
tions.

The Powder River Country Exam
iner hereafter will endeavor to pre-
sent to the stockmen of this county
market quotations only one day old.
We will have this information tele-
graphed to us, relaying the message
from Miles City via POwderville.
This service will be at some outlay
of expense to us but we believe 1t
will prove worth while, giving valua-
ble information to stockmen and that
shey will appreciate our efforts. We
are instituting this service to prove
our theory that newspapers should
be of some pecuniary benefit to its
readers, giving them information
by which they will profit.
The Examiner also in a day or so
will install bulletin board at its Of
fee, to post cattle quotations and
other notices of public Importance.
