by
C. A. MAMOKY, MUr
BOWLES LIVE STOCK COM. CO.,
Omaha, Nebraska.
I'nion Stockyards,
Omaha, Neb., July 31.
With loyalty and patriotism sec
ond oaly to our great country and
cause, for which we are all fighting,
we salute the rer.ders of the Alii:. nee
Herald, and all other live stock peo-
We congratulate the producers,
feeders and shippers upon the pres
ent and prospective good prices, and
the entire world upon the wonderful
response that our ranchmen and
farmers have made in increased pro
duction. It is, and always will be,
our aim to furnish the readers of this
paper with the latest, most reliable
and helpful information possible, and
follow this up with successful and
satisfactory celling and filling serv
ice. The range season has fairly opened
with very liberal receipts for July
from Nebraska, Wyoming, South Da
kota, Montana and Idaho. The con
dition of the aged cattle is remark
ably Rood so early, and we have sold
1100 to 1300-lb Wyoming and Mon-j
tana steers from $15.50 to $16.50.
' 1 . 1 I I I I i I I ' I . VIVI U V VI fcj UUl'l
at $12.00. The packers and shippers
are active buyers for fat steers,
weighing 100 lb-;, and upwards, and
prices have held up to the record
marks throughout "the month, clos
ing strong at outside figures. Light
beifers and thin cows have been
very slow sale and prices have de
clined 50c to $1.00 on these grades
.and also on common to fair cows and
steers not good enougii f jr feeders or
heavy and fat enough for beef.
We have had a good many sand
hill and other Nebraska giacs cattle)
this month, and the good to choice
Cat steers, average 1100 to 1300 lbs.,
are selling from $14.50 to $16.00:
good to choice 1000 to 1150 lbs. sell
ing at $13.00 to $15.00; fair to good
steers, these weights, sell 50c to $1
tinder these prices.
Good to choice fat Nebraska cows
and heifers, $8.50 10.50.
Fair to good fat Nebraska cows
and heifers, $7.75 8.50.
Canners and cutters, $6.50 7.50.
We understand there is good grass
in most set-tions, and until we know
more about the corn crop we advise
holding back all light and thin stock,
especially when it lacks quality. Our
reports from every range state, ex
cept Montana, are quite, favorable,
and we expert a fair incre; se in re
ceipts compared with last year, but
the demand for beef cal'.le will only
me limited by the capacities of the
stock yards, packing houses and rail
roads to handle the business, both in
and out. Even though the war
should end suddenly, or this year, the
demand for me t will be large and
fully equal to the supply, : nd we.
therefore, congratulate -the ranch
men upon the gcod prospects.
Stock and feeding cattle of good
quality and weight are selling better,
and with such a wide range in prices,
we believe ranch men and farmers
will do well to keen their supply up
to a safe point all of the time.
Good to choice feeders, av. 900
to 1100 lbs $10.50 to $13.00
Fair to good feeders, av. 900 to
110 lbs $9.50 to $10.50
Good to cht ice stock cattle,
av. 700 to 900 lbs. $9.50 to $10.00
Fair to good stock cittle, av.
700 to 900 lbs $8.50 to $9.50
Yearlings $8.00 to $9 25
Selected wh'tefaces or Angus
would sell 25 to 75c higher.
Light heifers and -thin cows. . .
$6.50 to 7.25
Good to choice stock heifers and
cows $7.25 to $7.50
Stock calves $7.50 to $8.50
Bologna bulls $8.00 to $8.75
Fat bulls $8.75 to $10.50
Veal calves $11.00 to $13 50
Cornfed cattle are very scarce, and
will be shorter than usual during the
fall, leaving the field to the range or
grass caKle. The railroad conditions
are considerably better, and W9 ! -lleve
they will show much improe
ment compared with last year, but
there will probably be times when
cars will be short and delays neces
sary. We believe it good judgment to
ship fat stock just as soon and Just
as fast as it will do to ship and can
be handled properly.
We ask, as apersonal favor, that
any time our readers fail to rccHve
this paper on time every week, or do
not receive the Daily Journal-Stockman
and want it. that they write us
promptly so we can get after the
publishers. It is always a pleasure
to receive letters from our friends re
garding their business, and how we
can serve them best, and when they
have any fat stock to ship, If they
will consign it to BOWLES LIVE
STOCK COM. CO.. at Omaha, they
will receive the benefit of three ex
perienced range cattle salesmen, or
any who wish to purchase cattle will
be properly cared for by two expert
feeder buyers. Present prices are
high by comparison, and although we
have confidence In a good market all
of the season, we believe it wise to
ship fat stock whenever it is in prop
er condition to stand shipment.
The hog trade continues to fluctu
ate considerably, but the bulk are
selling from $18.25 to $18.50, and
will sell high for some time.
Sheep and lambs are moving free
ly, and are In good condition. Fat
lambs selling from $17.50 to $17.25;
feeding lambs $17.00 to $17.40.
Aged sheep Brarce and prives good.
Receipts will be much larger during
the balance of the season, and prices
may work a little lower, but we
think everything will hold up to com
paratively high levels during the en
tire year.
Just a line about the BOWLES
outfit. The writer, Manager of the
Oiuahn house, has had more than 30
years active experience on a large
scale, and the organization is made
up of skilled traders who have had
from 5 to 15 years successful experi
ence. We have central pen locations
and give our personal attention to
the filling, as well as the selling of
each consignment and are always
ready and glad to render any assist
ance possible, both in market infor
mation and selling service.

BOOZE WAS CAUGHT
IN DARK NIGHT HOURS
Booze is often found in queer re
ceptacles. This morning at 2 o'clock
the officers of the law found a wood
en box with twelve quarts in a Ford
auto- the Ford belonged to a well
known llemingford citizen Law
rence (Shorty) Khomer, who was ar
rested along with the booze and the
Ford and lodged In the city jail.
Two other men the one who
brought the booze in the box' from
the Casper train to the Ford, and one
other neither of whom are known,
got away. Shorty gave the officers
so much to look after that the others
took flight and got away.
Before police magistrate Roberts
this morning Rhomer was fined $100
and costs. Rhomer vows he will go
thirsty before he'll pay another fine
espcially since the booze was re
tained by the law.
mended that immediate action be
taken by the circulation of petitions
to secure the rural delivery of mail
along the ruote. There are 23 houses
which can be served between Alliance
and Hffland and this Is a sufficient
number.
Tuesday afternoon Mr. Campen
took trip with J. M. Miller and
Lloyd Thomas over roads In this dis
trict which have been surfaced with
magnesia and found them in excel
lent condition. After thorough In
vestigation as to the deposits and
their accessability he recommended
that the magnesia be seriously con
sidered as the surfacing material for
the Potash highway.
Final action cannot be taken until
the mall route petitions have been
circulated, signed and presented to
the postofflce department.
