Wild HORSES GONE,
BRONCO BUSTER WILL
GO OUT OF BUSINESS
(By Associated Press)

DENVER, Colo, Feb. 19.-Bronco
Busters Of the northern Rocky Noun
tain states are about to go out of
business, according to reports from Of
ficials of wild west and frontier shows.
The reason is there aren't any wild
horses to bust. At least not around
Wyoming and this part of the coun-
try. +.*. -
4 But down in Arizona they have wild
horses to eat. There are 10000 of
them They belong to the San Carlos
Indians, who have reservation not
far from Globe, but there isn't much
chance Of getting the Arizona ponies
for the bronco busters of Wyoming for
the Indians won't give them up.
Wild Herds Leave Range.
The day Of the wild herds of horses
roaming the plains of Wyoming and
adjacent states has been growing rap
idly shorter, being fenced in, herds of
cattle are reduced or confined and to
make the matter worse for the exist.
ence of the wild steeds, oil drilling
camps have been extended over wide
areas Of Wyoming, northwestern Col
orado and Utah. -
But down on the San Carlos Indian
reservation there are =. 10000 wild
steeds, roaming at will over the fields,
destroying mile after mile of grazing
land which might be put into good
use for cattle, and turning green grass
Of the prairie into a scrawny covering
for their homes which hardly make
even a decent meal for an Indian.
Indians Protect Horses.
The cattlemen have tried to buy
them, but the Indians wouldn't listen.
The government, through A. H. Sym
onds, Indian agent, offered to purchase
them at about Sc a head, invest the
money into cattle and save the meat
from the horses. giving it back to the
Indians for winter food.
But the Indians would have none of
It. The horses are worthless, even for
hides. They cannot be domesticated
and the meat isn't much of a delicacy.
but the Indians insist on their age old
prerogatiVe to have their herds out on
the open prairie even as their fathers
did. The Indians also have about 1000
wild burros which they say they will
keep.
Sometimes in the isolated mountain
canons horses are found running loose.
but while these might be termed wild.
they usually belong to some rancher
who has let them run loose. Wild bur
rOS are frequent in various parts of
Arizona and occasionally are found in
Utah. But the old wild horse herds of
the mountain plateau regions have
gone, probably forever.

MURRAY VAUDEVILLE
Four classy young colored chaps at
tired in full evening dress and known
in high vaudeville circles as The
Dixie Four, will be seen and heard on
the new bill next week at The Murray
opening Monday matinee. These boys
sing all kinds and manner OF songs,
execute few dancing steps in their
own peculiar style, with a goodly por-
ton of real comedy on the side for
extra measure From all advance re-
ports, audiences are 10th to let them
depart, and no doubt local patrons will
keep them from retiring to their dress
ing rooms until they have exhausted
their repertoire.
Then come Schwartz and Clifford, a
man and woman team for more
laughs. This act was the hit of the
bill at McVicker's Theatre, Chicago,
last week, and they are known as the
"show shoppers" which is vaudeville
rarlance for holding up the show so
the succeeding act is unable to ap-
pear. Byrd and Allen, a typical Keith
act with a beautiful setting in Glass,
Songs and Music" and Richard Wally
and Coz in his novelty juggling act,
"The Human Pool Table," will COM
plete the bill.
Frank Holland. who has appeared on
bills with Valentine Vox and Company
in his ventriloquial oddly The Club
man." says Mr.. Vox is one of the most
refined and talented ventriloquists of
the day, and has an act which is one
continual round of laughter presented
in a highly artistic manner. He is
billed TO open Thursday for the last
half.
The stage of late has produced many
rentriloquists, who in their term have
produced wonderful novelties in feats
such as drinking, whistling while
smoking, etc. 1t has been left for Mr..
Vox, however, to cap the climax in
this line as he has accomplished the
seemingly impossible. in his phenomen-
al double voiced singing, in which Mr..
Vox and his manikin can be heard
distinctly and simultaneously.
Another interesting feature will be
Henry B. Toomer and Co., in their
sketch THE Wife Saver" IN this act
the stenographer is a real hit.
This character. essayed by Miss
Esther Day. is the crux of delightful
surprise, Miss Days Interpretation of
the tynist with An aim, is all that
could be wished and then some, of
course everybody will exDect Henry
Toomer to keep the disabilities at top
notch during the action Of the pldylet
and they are not going to be dis
appointed.

EXCESS OF PRICE
DECLINES NOTED
Recessions in Wholesale Quo
tations Above Advances
For Lengthy Run.

Despite the many consecutive
weeks during which declines in
wholesale commodity quotations
have predominsted. the downward
readjustment of prices continues
strongly defined, recessions last
week numbering ffty-eight and ad-
vances twenty-one. The previous
week. out of a total of eighty-nine
changes, seventy one reductions
were witnessed. while there were
fifty-three advances and twenty-fiv
declines in this week OF 1920.
Irregularity again characterized
the movement of wheat prices, an
early rise being followed by a sharp
reaction on favorable crop reports
and larger offerings. The under
tone in oats and rye was easy, but
a good cash demand and moderate
arrivals gave some support to corn.
Receipts of live meats were not ex-
cessive. and, under the influence of
n
feeling developed in hogs and sheep.
The market for provisions was va
riable, but. in the main, moved
toward a lower level. In dairy
products, butter was conspicuous
for its strength, large increase in
consumption, comparatively light
offerings, and smaller imports from
Denmark causing buoyant prices.
With buyers eager to secure sup
plies quotations on the better
grades were bid up. A somewhat
easier tone appeared in cheese,
whereas eggs at times displayed
some firmness, due largely 20 pur-
chasing for storage.
Rumors of impending price reduc-
tions by leading producing interests
were heard in iron and steel circles,
and some further downward revi-
sions were made during the week
by independents, with additional
concessions of 81 to 50 a ton in pig
iron. In the absence of important
demand, however, the market is
largely in a nominal position. The
minor metals, as a rule, were steady,
and lead was somewhat firmer
Yielding of cotton goods prices has
been extended, and this is also true

revival of business is noted.

Hemp in Quiet Demand.

Extremely quiet conditions in the
rope and cordage trade have re-
stricted the demand for hemp to
very moderate proportions. While
adVices from Manila indicate
stronger conditions in that market,
manufacturers here are not inclined
to operate in advance of current re-
quirements, which at present are
light. However. spot supplies are
not very heavy and. with the ab-
sense of any pressure on the part
of importers to dispose of their
holdings, and a favorable statistical
position, the undertone of the local
market appears to be growing
firmer.
The Washington herald., 1921-04-11
+ Egg Prices Hold Steady,

Consumption of eggs continues
very large, but receipts are so
large that dealers experience no
trouble in meeting all requirements,
especially as most of the arrivals
are of good average quality. Re-
cent severe declines have caused
spectators to operate with a good
deal of conservatism and not much
support comes from that source, but
liberal quantities are going into
storage and this helps to sustain
prices. Buyers are particular in
their selections, and eggs showing
much defect in size or appearance
are difficult to move, except at con-
cessions. The more desirable Offer
ings. however, are being steadily
absorbed, and prices display a
stronger tendency.
The Washington herald., 1921-04-11
Argentine Situation.

An important factor in Argcn-
tina's present situation is the fact
that a bountiful harvest is being
realized. Wheat, linseed and oats
are being threshed. and the official
estimates of the yield are as fol-
lows: Wheat, 5,015.000 tons; lin
seed, 1.0S2.000 tons; oats, 6sl. 200
tons. These figures are well above
the average annual yields and as
sure the country of a large export
able surplus. While no official fg-
ures for ,the corn crop have yet
been made public, reports from all
sections Of the country indicate a
satisfactory harvest In the grain
markets wheat, linseed. oats and
corn are all quoted higher today
than at the same time last year.

Dried Fruits

There was a fairly active demand
last week for raisins and some buy
ing of California and Oregon
prunes. Generally speaking. how
ever, trading was confined to small
lots for immediate needs, and sg-
gregated only a moderate total.
Apricots met with a fair inquiry.
but very little interest was shown
in the peaches or pears. Figs of
good quality were wanted and cur
rents were in fair request, but very
little was done in dates or cherries.
