KANSAS CITY WEEKLY
MARKET REPORT
February 5th, 1928

~0A A~sA CSAA3 AS-C
A general improvement was shown
in the livestock market today Cat
tie We're strong to 25 cents higher,
hogs were up 5 to 10 cents, and
sheep and lambs firm. Demand for
all classes was large and the bulk of
the offerings were over the scales
before noon. Steers were in moderate
supply and quality remained plain.
Demand for stockers and feeders was
active and late winter is expected to
increase the outlet. Some heavy
lambs at $14 were higher.
TOday's Recaipts
Receipts today were $4,000 cattle,
$4,000 hogs and 5000 sheep, compared
with $4,000 cattle, 10000 hogs and
5000 sheep week ago, and 14,500
cattle, 15,675 hogs and 6,200 sheep
q year ago.
Beef Cattle
Cattle receipts were the smallest
of any Monday this year and the
moderate run stimulated demand. In
most cases prices were 10 to- Is cents
higher, extreme range strong TO 25
cents higher. Quality of the offer
ings was about the same as for some
time past, though choice steers were
lacking. Most sales were at 1925 to
1925, Some half fat steers brought
$7.25 up. There was fairly good ship
ping demand for the commoner
classes of steers. Cows and heifers
showed an equal advance with steers.
Most of the cows sold at $4.25 to
$3.50 Gamers brought $2.65 to So.
Fairly good heifers sold at $3.50 to
S7.25. Veal calves were steady.
Practically all the choice light weight
veals sold at $40 to S11.
Stockers and Feeders
Prices for stockers and feeders
were Is to rs cents higher. This adj
vance included the common as well
as the better classes. Demand was
much better than week ago, and in
dications are that the call from now
on will be large.
Hogs Higher
Though hog, receipts were consider
ably larger than week ago and
year ago, there there was active de-
mand from both shippers and packers
and prices were to 10 cents higher
than last weeks close, and only 25
cents below the high point last week.
The top price was $8.35, and the bulk
of the offerings sold at $50 to S8.25.
Packing sows sold at $7.25 to S7.4O,
and pigs brought $3.50 to $7.85.
Sheep and Lambs
Some SO pound lambs that sold at
S14 were quoted 10 to Is cents higher.
Medium and light weight lambs sold
at $11.25 to $14.50, clipped lambs,
SIP, yearlings $12.75, ewes $8, and
clipped wethers $7.25. They were
quoted steady. Receipts are falling.
below expectations.
Horses and Mules
Trade in horses and mules continued
fairly active, with no quotable change
in prices. There is better demand
for mules than for horses.

essary for storage of 100,000,0O0 or
4 150,0O0,000 gallons respectively. We
would not consider it at all safe to
/ figure on using this lake without lin
ing the bottom and side slopes. Not
only would such a lining seem to be
necessary in order to hold the water
and prevent leakage, but also to pre-
serve the quality.
The few springs on the west slope
are very small except during the sur.
face run-off season and main depen--
dence must be put on the run-off for
the supply. Water must then be stor-
ed nearly a year until the next rainy
season and weed and algae growths
would be liable to cause trouble, CIV
ing tastes and odors to the water.
I'm any case, q filter plant would
be necessary TO make the water suit
able for domestic use. Such a plant
could be located at the present reser-
voirs for convenience in operation and
deliver filtered water into the present
reservoir
''The elevation of Crater lake is
about 5000 feet and that of the pres
ent reservoir is 7,140 feet, leaving
LOGO feet effective head The length
of pipeline required will be approx
imately ten miles, which means an
average grade of two per cent. We
would consider it advisable to use
pipeline having capacity of at least
100000 gallons day, which would
require a 10-inch pipe.
"The following are estimated costs
of the Crater lake project:
Improvements to collecting
system ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 10000
Lining of Crater lake .....-...... 250,0O0
Pipeline from Crater lake
to reservoirs ..............-. 10000
Filtration plant ................. 25,000
"Total 1856, 900
"In addition to the above cost of
improvements, would be the cost of
purchasing the Crater lake water
rights and property from the San
Francisco Mountain company. The
company has indicated its readiness to
consider sale at what they consider
their cost including all costs inciden-
tai to the work.
"If the Crater lake project were
adopted in the manner above Indicated
it would be merely an auxiliary sup
ply to the present one. Comparing
the Crater lake project with the fur
ther development of the present
spring supply, the cost of the Crater
lake project with storage for 100,-
100000 gallons and a pipeline with
a capacity of 100000 gallons per
day and filter plant with capacity of
/ 100000 gallons a day but without /
any new, distributing reservoir be-
sides the present ones) would be as
much or more than the project to fur
ther develop the present source with
development works and pipe line
with capacity of 100000 gallons a
day and new distributing reservoir
with capacity of 50,0O0,000 gallons.)
The Crater lake project would not be
nearly so satisfactory as to quality of
water, quantity available for quick
use, and cost of operation

close to the section line between Sec
tons 81 and 36 and about one-third
mile south of the northeast corner of
section SO. This site is three miles
west and nearly four miles north of
the center of town. The dam would
run north and south with an extreme
length of 270 feet and an extreme
height of 182 feet. This site is ap-
parently a very favorable one for a
dam with malpais outcropping on both
sides and probably bedrock across the
stream channel; the demand at this
point is narrow and deep SO that the
cost of a dam would not be great.
The lake formed by dam 1914 feet
high would back up just to the road
along the west side of Section 25 and
would cover 79 acres and have an av-

Announcement to the medical pro-
fession:
Our 18th annual clinic and 5th an
nual meeting Of the John A. Andrew
Clinical Society will be held April I'd

activities Of this Clinical Society are
SO well known that it is hardly neces-
sary for us to give extensive infor-
nation at this time. We are arrang-
ing program Of papers, lectures and
clinical demonstrations both medical
and surgical, which we believe will
leave little to be desired BY those who
attend.
AT this time we are pleased to
name as special attractions, DR.. r. Fl.
Miller of the surgical staff, Massa-
chusetts General Hospital, Boston,
and DR.. Vim. B. Breed Of the staff
of internal medicine. Others viii be

We extend a cordial invitation to
you to visit and cooperate with us
in connection with this program.

be worked out in day. 1t recognizes,
in the language Of George Madden
Martin, that prejudices are stubborn,
and that to overcome them is not a
task for limited sympathies and petty
natures; that it is not a task that can
be done by machinery or mere or
ganization; that it is a spiritual task, a
task to be carried out in the spirit
and according to the ethics of the
Man Of Galilee. These principles en-
phasize first the truth that contact is
necessary in the. solut ion of any
human problem. Differences are at
first minimized, then they disappear
In order that the movement should
be motivated by Christian principles,
the leaders perfected a duly organized
commission with membership repre-
senting thirteen states and headquar-
tiers in Atlanta. In addition to this
commission, each of the thirteen
states has a commission directing the
work in that state. Some eight hun
dred of the twelve hundred counties
in the southern states have organized
local committees of representative
white and colored people
In thirty-seven years, from 1885 to
1921, there were 437 lynchings in
Georgia and only one indictment. In
1922 alone, with eight lynchings,
twenty-five persons were indicted, Of
whom four have been convicted and
sent to the penitentiary and fifteen are
still to be tried. The evidence in
these cases was collected largely by
the. interracial secretary and commit
tees in Georgia. This is one illustra-
ton among many Of the effectiveness
of the movement
What the Commission needs more
than anything else is the confidence
of the community, white and colored.
It seeks the sympathy and coopera-
ton Of the members Of the churches
and social organizations, to the end
that this greatest problem confronting
the American people today may be
settled by the principles of justice and
fair play, and according to the teach
ings of Jesus.

THE INTERRACIAL MOVE
MENT IN THE SOUTH

Interracial Commission

DR.. James Bond, Secretary Kentucky
Interracial Commission
Like most movements Of its kind,
the Inter-racial Movement had its
birth in a great crisis. During the
war the white and colored people Of
the South had, in very remarkable
way, forgotten their differences and
united in a supreme effort to win the
war. Promises of better things were
made to all of our boys, black and
white. The Negro soldier accepted
these promises at face value. He
played we'll his part in the war. When
upon his return to his homeland these
promises were not realized, his heart
was filed with bitterness. The lines
were more tightly drawn and barriers
to his progress seemed more stub
born and relentless than ever.
AS race riots broke out and fear Of
a general race conflict gripped the
country, a group of white men, conf

ton secured between the races during
the war could be perpetuated, called
into conference a number Of represen-
tative colored men in the spirit OF
prayer and supplication, and adopted
platform upon which all could stand
The planks of this platform included
justice Before the law, the prevention
Of lynching, and the correction OF
other injustices to the Negro. Some
of the most widely-known people Of
the South accepted places on the Com
mission, among whom were ministers,
college presidents, bishops and cap
italists. AS later development, many
Of the South's leading women have
become associated with the move
ment.
The Commission does not pretend
to have discovered a short cut to the
millennium or to have brought into
existence a perfect organization. nor
does it believe that it has found a
solution to the race problem that can

JUDGE HENRY M. WALKER
CONTINUES TO MAKE A
SPLENDID RECORD ON
THE MUNICIPAL COURT
BENCH

In 1920, Hon. Henry NJ Walker
was elected one Of the judges Of the
Municipal Court of Chicago, and he
was assigned to the small claims
court, which was at that time two or
three thousand untried cases behind
and Judge Walker pitched in and by
working hard early and late, day and
night, that within sixty days from
that time he had his docket all cleaned
up.
For short time past Judge Walker
has been sitting at the East Chicago
Avenue branch Of the Municipal
Court, where he very successfully
measures out justice with an even
hand. He has no sympathy for men
and women who are slaves to drink
ing moonshine, nor for members OF
the Ku Klux Khan, neither has he
any patience with men who are brutal
in their treatment of their wives and
children.
Judge Walker always has heavy
fines in store for them or place
reserved for them in the bridewell. Il
must be said to the credit of Judge
Walker that he is fair in his treat
ment Of colored people and all other:
who violate the laws for the frs
time, but the second time he may be
more severe in deaHng out justice tc

few lines this week, / am shedding
tears out of one eye and laughing
with the other. laughing the laugh of
JOY and happiness over what | now
behold, shedding tears over the de-
parture OF great man like Senator
Ben Tillman, who left this world and
left no address where he could be
reached by letter, Geographic, wire
less Or radio message.
His glory was in abusing some Of
his citizens in public in order to let
the world know that he was really
living. He fumed and spouted out his
venom and has passed on without any
particular reference and the man who
he abused is going right on praying
like did the Christ, Father, forgive
him. If this prayer has not been
answered then the devil has got some
good stuff feasting on it today. But
let US hope that before his departure
from this world he made it all right
with the all-forgiving God, and he is
now on the inside looking down, and
that. his spirit is somewhere near the
city where the laws are made and
heard, the modern Governor, the man
who boasts Of being a Christian, who
addressed the men of brain, the man
Of culture, the leaders of the race he
abused, and declared that he was proud
to do so. / think Senator Tillman
turned over in his grave and said \:
Look here, Governor t. @. Mcleod,
are you crazy, or what in the hen
feathers has happened to you? Can
you get away from the old tradition
and denounce that which l consid-
cred right, lynching black men? Can
you stand before a body Of Negroes
and say to them that no man who is
