South st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. s.
S~easonally cold weather as well as
the observance of the New Years Holt
day were influential factors in the
curtailment of cattle receipts at this
market, during the past week, result
ing in uneven upturns in live values.
Fat steer and yearling values are
unevenly 25c higher for the period.
Practically no good or choice steers
were offered here this week, the best
offerings being of a medium grade
and selling at 1915 with other short
fed offerings turning within a price
range Of $7.25@8.5O, a few of the COM
monest kinds on down to $3.50.
Fat she stock supplies carried q
meager showing of the better grades
and sold at prices of 5.50@7.OO while
the bulk of fat COWS and heifers went
over the scales within a range of
$3.75@6.O0. Gamers were diverted
into packer channels at $2.25@2.50,
with cutters on up to $500. Bologna
bulls sold on a strong brisk market
the entire week, making uneven adj
vances of 25O50c for the week with
bulk prices at the close at S3.75@4.50.
Veal calves jumped q full dollar ir

THAT George II. Webster, chief OF
Il the dairy division of the Montana
department of agriculture, will enforce
the state dairy law and regulations is
taken from a statement he has issued.
Complaint has been that some cream
cries have been putting butter on the
markets that do not comply with the
regulations rs TO correct weights and
moisture content. In such cases he
said there not only will be prOSecu-
tiOnS in the courts. but creamery Ii
censes will be revoked.
Commissioners Webster says that
since the first of October OF the pres
ent year. several reports have come
to his office from Great Falls that but
ter was being sold on the market in
that city that was both short in weight
and 100 high in moisture content. Two
letters were received from n cream
cry in that city asking what they could
do to be relieved Of the unfair com
petition which they had to meet in
consequence of this short weight and
illegal moisture content. One other
creamery in that city sent a formal
complaint TO Congressman Scott
Leavitt and asked him to invoke tn,

from Mr.. Carter, in response to petit

have any right of way provision in

and old Birmingham as the eastern end
Of the western loop.
The East Lake division would come
in over the Avenue G line, touch the
western loop at Nineteenth street, and
go back out over the Avondale line.
1t is pointed out that this change
will remove from the present Tidewater
tracks los grade crossings where the
line now goes over steam railroad
tracks, which crossings must be en-
tirely maintained by the Tidewater at
an enormous . annual expense. The
grade crossings would be eliminated,
saving minimum of $4,000 year.
Indications Thursday were that the
city commission will take up the mat
ter of revamping the Tidewater fran
chise to permit the dual division sys-
TEN, thus saving the Tidewater from
oblivion; postponement Of the receivers
sale and an opening of the way to bids
on the property, which property, other
wise, it is estimated, would only con-
tinue in service few more months be-
fore being discontinued because Of un-
warranted financial loss.
