of he next Congress and which, il rightly

heaval OF popular protest that will throw

CATTLE PRICES
INCREASING
THIS WEEK !

The ranch business in Gunnison is
looking up. After two years Of
gradually decreasing prices and
pinch in cattle sales, that crimped their
hearts rs well as their pocketbooks,
there is tangible evidence Of an up
ward trend to the markets, that will.
IL continued, put the stock business
back on the pedestal as the ever fore
most and profitable industry Of the
county.
Two sales during the week have
been very satisfactory. Last fall J.
J. Gregg and w. S. Swigart purchased
$50 head of steers and cows to eat up
the large hay tonnage on Dos Rioe
ranch, securing them for cents and
less for steers and below 4 cents for
cows. Saturday they sent to market
1874 head, and received the high price
of S6.S5 for the steers and $4.95 for
cows. These sales as reported in Dem
yer, are given below.
Ben McDonough Of Parlin shipped
three carloads of lambs to the Denver
market this week and got u top prics
of IL for them, which shows an up
lift in sheep prices. Ben not only
doubled the price he paid for tho
lambs but secured profitable market
for lot of Tomichi valley hay.

MASS MEETING.
CALLED BY
MAYOR

Mayor John A. Steele has called q
Mass Meeting Of citizens to be held at
the court house Monday night, in ac-
eordance with the announcement ap-
pearing on this page.
The meeting is for the purpose OF
disrussing the proposed issue Of bonds
for the extension of the Municipal
Light and Water Plant, which is faced
with an emergency.
The plant has for some time been
operating at full capacity, with no
funds for extension Of capacity, and
no provision for possible emergencies.
Many extensions Of the water mains
are considered absolutely essential
during the coming year, and no funds
are available for this purpose. Ir
case Of a breakdown with the present
overtaxed equipment, the town would
be helpless.
A bond issue of some forty thous-
and dollars is proposed, to be acted
upon by the voters at the April cleo
ton. This money would be used to
put another power unit in the plant
and lay additional mains.
The Importance Of the mass meet
ing cannot be exaggerated, as its pur-
pose has TO do with the pocketbook Of
Mr.. John w. Taxpayer-that's you.
