Union Stock Yards, South Omaha,
Neb., June G, 1910. The week opened
with a fairly liberal run of cattle, 204
loads or about 6,400 head. Frlces
eemed to be lower for everything
but the strictly good to choice heavy
beeves. Owing to the advices from
other markets being of a bearish na
ture, and although the local dressed
beef men and shipping buyers had
pretty good orders to fill, they want
ed the cattle lower, their bids belug
10015c lower. Real choice heavy
beeves brought $10.60'(J10.65, and
Tery good cattle brought JlO.lBf?
10.35. The fair to good 1,000 to 1.250
pound beeves sold largely at $9.50
10.00. The supply of she stock was
small, and went at about steady
prices, the range being from $4.75 to
$8.25, bulk of the fair to good butcher
and beef stock going at a spread of
$6 5007.50.
Quotations on cattle: Good to
choice beeves, $10.20fff 10.C5; fair to
good beeves, $9.r0ffi 10.10; common to
fair beeves, $8.25 (ff 9.40; good to
choice heifers, $8.00(i 8.75; good to

cows, $6.75(fI7.75; canners and cut
ters, $4.&06..r0; veal calves, $9.00
12.00; bulls, stags, etc., $6.50Q8.00.
With the exception of a few sales,
Monday's hog market was about lOo
lower. One or two of the packers
needed a few hogs early, and paid
prices that were not much more than
5 10c lower, however, there were
only a few scattered loads sold this
way. Shippers had some orders, but
they were not urgent, and were filled
at about a 10c reduction after the
packers got started. Most of the offer
ings moved at $9.20j9.30, the top
reaching $9.40.
The supply of sheep and lambs for
Monday was liberal, some 21 cars, or
about 5,300 head. The break at Chi
cago on last wwk s close seemed to
have a tendency to lower prices here,
and as the packers have been protest
ui iur sutnc 'line that pricto were far
too high, they promised to get them
down to a working basis at the first
opportunity. That today was the
chance thy have been looking for
was eident right from the start. Buy-
ers came out at about the usual time,
but refused to make a single bid, con
fining themselves to the prediction that
prices would be lower than at last
week's close.

Keren! Activity of liiirliiigtoii Sur
veying Parties at Angora In
dicate; Cutoff on South Line
Kecently The Herald mentioned
the activity, of llurlinglon surveying
paiiii-s at Angora, south of Alliance
in surveying new lines from Angora
w .:.it'd toward S.-f . v-h'u.'f J' i
Scotlfcbluff Semi-Weekly Republican
'i its issue or last frriiiay, nau me
following to say regarding the worl.
1 tii'-se men :
This paper lias always contended
i;:t when the final hncB were com
pleted the main line of the Iturling-
1111 would be via Alliance. Instead of
dui Keirney to P.ri Igeport , and
'loin thM activity now shown, It
would seem that our contention was
he right one. Last week three cars
.if surveyors with their paraphernal
.a were sidetracked at Angora and
.he party, which consists of a full
.iurveying corps, are at work between
1 his place and Angora. This line
;ias been surveyed twice before and
we lake it that when they finish this
lime it will be final and that by the
i . e the new depot is built in Scotts
bluff next year, through trains will
be running from Omaha to Casper
Wyo.. via Alliance and Scottsbluff
over the "Angora cut-off."
There has never been a doubt in
our mind for the past fifteen years
that the "Angora cut-off" was the
proper solution of the water grade
line of the llurlinglon to the east
and we believe the officials have de
cided on that route as being the best
one through the state.
The Great Northern people are de
sirous of extending their route front
O'Nell to Denver and, should the An
gora cut-off be built, we look for the
Great Northern to extend' its O'Neil
branch on to Thedford. where they
would connect with the Burlington
the river and run west to Horse Creek
and thence south and west to Denver.
The above has been seriously con
sidered by the officials of the two
roads for a number of years and as
they are practically owned by the
same stockholders It Is figured as one !
of the prime objects of the Hill lines, i
it the time of the Hurlmgton pur- '
chase, as it would give the Northern!
a direct line from Duluth, Minn., to!
Denver. !
It is estimated that the, building I
of this line as outlined would save
the Hill interests about two hundred
miles as compared with the distance I
now covered In getting either freight '
or passengers to the northeast, be- !
"ides a great ravine in getting coal
from the Wyoming coal fields to the!
different roads now operated bv the-
Mill and llurlinglon systems. '

An action has been brought in the

j iiiihinuifl to compel State Treasurer

iince that time Treasurer Hall has
received no deposits from the food
and oil commission, but still has a
large sum on hand previously turned

mandamus suit has put a new phase
1 a question in the matter of cash
fuad appropriations in which hereto
tore the state has bet-n the plaintiff
uut Is now forced to act In the capa
city of defendant.
Deputy Attorney General Dexter T
ilarrett appeared before Judge Cor
oran at Hastings on May 29, in sup
port of a brief contending that Jude
Corcoran had jurisdiction to hear
nil determine, an action brought on
behalf of the state of Nebraska to
wuiel title to the real estate, consist
ing of two 160-acre farms in Adams
. ounly and certain business bloc Kb in
Hastings belonging to the estate of
lohn O'Connor, deceased. The case
was tried iu January and the court
:uuud against the 158 defendants
. nd in favor of the state, but reserv
iiis Judgement upon the legal ques
tion of jurisdiction until the attor
neys of both sides could file briefs
upon the question. After reading
;he briefs the court decided in favor
f the state and against all the de
fendants both upon the evidence and
ihe law. Probably no case of this
kind in recent years has attracted so
much attention, both in and outside
thn legal profession, and the court's
finding marks a new precedent in le
gal annals of Nebraska. The fight
began in 1913, and in 1915 when MY.
Barrett became deputy attorney gen
eral he was put in charge of the case
by Attorney General Willis E. Reed.
Both this and the vill case will be
appealed to the supreme court, but as
no particular ground exiBts for a re
versal of the lower court's decision
the state's attorneys are confident of
final victory.
