ENTERPRISING MERCHANTS GREET HERALD READERS THROUGH THE ADVERTISING COLUMNS THIS WEEK -THE LATEST NEWS OF HEREABOUTS TWO SECTIONS,
WITH A TOTAL OF TWENTY PAGES
When The Herald force started out this week they planned to issue a sixteen-page edition, the same size as last week but such was not to be the case, for we find ourselves crowded to the
mragins in twenty pages, two sections. While this has caused a delay of a few hours in getting The Herald in the mails thisweek we know that this issue will be intensely interesting to our read
ers, particularly on account of the MARKET WEEK announcements listed therein. Herald readers will find many advertisements which list bargains of high grade goods at more than reasonable
prices. The program for MARKET WEEK is given on this page. The Herald wishes to extend a cordial invitation to the visitors to visit the office and make it their headquarters while in the
city. A BUREAU OF INFORMATION will be maintained for the convenience of visitors. There will be free telephone service and any other conveniences which can be extended. Our ofllce is
located on the east side of Box Butte Avenue, in the first block north from the depot. Friday and Saturday will be DOLLAR DAYS and The Herald next Thursday will contain offerings of the
merchants who are going to make special dollar inducements on those days. Watch for it and take advantage of the bargains which will be offered. The special Dollar Day edition will "e out
early Thursday morning. It will be noed that there are a few changes in the program, as additional features have been added.

DENVER BREAKS
ITS RECORD
60.0OO Sheep, BO.OOO Cattle and ,-
OOO Hogs Handled in Three Days
at Denver Union Stock Yards
Denver, Colo., Oct. 21 The heav
iest business In Its history Is now be
ing transacted al the Denver stock
yards, according to J. A. Shoemaker,
president of the Denver Union Stock'
yards company.
The first three days of this week
have been the busiest for any similar
period at the yards. In the three
days 60,000 sheep, 20,000 cattle and
6,000 hogs have been handled.
The report for the month and for
the year so far show large Increases
in the numbers of sheep and hogs re
ceived at the yards.
Due to a change in the southern
shipments because of the foot and
mouth disease restrictions In the
spring, the reports on cattle do not
show such an Increase but neverthe
less the trading in local cattle Is
heavier than ever before, Mr. Shoe
maker says.
The demand for feeder cattle is
especially strong. Feeder cattle and
sheep are now being shipped beyond
the Missouri river.
Feeder lambs are bringing the
highest prices they have ever brought
8 cents and 8 V4 cents a pound.
The reports of the receipts of
sheep and. hogs tell their own story
of prosperity and Increased business
for the year.
So far this month there have been
143,372 sheep received at the yards,
taking the figures at the close of bus
iness Tuesday, while during the
same period of October last year 100
352 were received. This makes an
Increase in sheep for the month of
42.020.
The Increane for the year so fax,
however, is 105,696. To date tlue
have been 4 21.749 sheep received in
contrast with 316.053 for the same
period last year.
At the close of trading Tuesday
20,779 hogs had been received at the
yards this month, an increase of 6,
888 over the san e number of days i
October last year.
For the year 260,169 hogs have
been received, an increase of 55,347
over the same period last year when
the registration was 204,8 22.
The cattle receipts for the month'
have been 4 6.187 and for the year,
283.000.
In addition the yards are doing an
extremely heavy borne, business. More
than 25.000 horses have been sold
there to foreign governments this
year.
There are now three .inspection
for horses maintained at the yards,
two by the French government and
one by the British.
The improvements worth $300,000
being made by the Armour company
at its plant at the yards are a direct
result of the steady increase in bus
iness during the last three years.
In turn they are increasing the
business. Hogs now are being re
ceived rrom Idaho and Utah, a signif
icant Indication of the extension of
the business of the Denver yards.
