Continued telegraphic pleas to
Imperial Valley asking that a rep
resentative from the Imperial Irri-
cation district be sent to Washing

ing of Mark Rose early this week,
it was intimated today
The Swing bill is about 20 be
taken before the committee, sitting
in executive session, and advocates
of its passage are fearful that many
changes will be recommended and
enacted which will require the at
tention of someone from the valley

situation.

to the situation was received by
Mr.. Rose this morning. 1t was sign
ed by s. c. Evans, mayor of Riv
erside and executive director of
the Boulder Canyon Dam associa-
ton, w. j. Carr and r. A. Painter.
1t reads as follows:
Hearings practically closed and
committee about to take up in ex
ecutive session consideration of bill.
From observing hearings it is clear
changes will be suggested and made.
In view of valleys vital interest we
feel it should be represented here
at this most critical stage of pro-
ceedings. Will be both embarrass-
ing and harmful not to have rep
resentative on ground who can speak
quickly and authoritatively for val
ley. Please wire definitely if you
or some other representative will
come at once. Please urge Coached
la people to keep Yager here. -

THE GRAY STALLION

A puncher riding Solano slope,
With brand new saddle and brand
new rope,
And granted horse with wide
awake eye,
Saw a wild horse band go rocketing
by;
Then the puncher whistled like a
mocking bird,
And he sang little song that you
may have heard,
And the little old song he sang that
day
Was the story of the wild horse, stall
lion gray.
My dam was mustang, white and
My sire was as black as thunder
| was foaled on the mesas, cold and
high,
Where the strong ones live and the
weak ones die,
And the mountain lion steals.
/ knew no foe and knew no fear,
With a milk-white mustang grazing
near;
When the grass grew high in the
summer sun,
| learned to dodge and / learned to
run,
And / learned to use my heels.
Then sleek and strong and a stallion
grown,
followed no pace, but set my own;
| fought for life in the winter storm,
And | fought for pride when the sun
grew warm,
And the mares ran, calling shrill;
So, swift and strong in my young de-
sire,
drove from the band my fighting
sire;
My flanks dripped red, but my crest
was high,
For the young must live and the old
must die.
Over hollow land and hill,
Years have earned me my outlaw $
name,
I'm hard to catch and I'm hard to
tame,
So when you think to down my pride,
Build a right swift loop and build It
wide,
For I'm called Stallion Gray.
The mesa wind blows high and free,
But no wind that blows can outrun
me;
You may sink your rowels out Of
sight,
And auirt your horse till his eye rolls
white,
But I'll be far away.

KANSAS CITY WEEKLY
MARKET REPORT
March 81, 1924.

Trade in the various classes of live
stock was active today. Prices for
cattle and hogs went into a new high
position, and sheep and lambs retain
ed last weeks high level. Moderate
receipts, caused by a heavy storm
Saturday and Sunday was the direct
result Of the strength in the market,
but from now moderate runs will pre-
vail and the general market will
probably remain in strong position.
T0day's Receipts
Receipts today were 10000 cattle,
$4,000 hogs and 5000 sheep, compar-
ed with 10000 cattle, 1000 hogs and
5000 sheep a week ago, and IL ,425
cattle, 21,650 hogs and Hips sheep
a year ago.
Beef Cattle
Fat cattle prices today were strong
to Is cents higher with trade active.
The improvement in the market late
last week together with an advance
today took the market into new high
position for the season. Indications
are that the heavy runs of winter fed
cattle are subsiding and that from
now on only moderate receipts will
prevail. Adverse weather conditions
have restricted shipping in the past
two weeks to some extent, but sup
plies held back can be cleared with
out disturbing market conditions.
