Editor Triiiunb: Persons unacquainted with the facts may imagine that the hog buyers of this citv are taking ad vantage ol the farmers in paying such low prices. Such is not the case. The buyers and shippers of hogs at this point, as a rule, have 1 st money. Baskin&Ci pa'd out nearly $25,000 for hogs and their shipping returns show a profit of about $160, allowing nothing for time and expenses. John Burke & Co. later paid out some $19,000 for that product and got out with a loss of $85, ft 'tiring nothing for time and expenses. Lindsay, Love land & Beer, Mills and others have tried it, some of these having their own scales and yards, and then lost money. It was not the fault of the Stock Yards Co , as its pens are free with plenty of fresh water f r the hogs; neither can the los be attributed to the railroad companv, who give the shipper good service to both Omaha and Denver markets. The trouble is the hogs cjtne to this city at any and all times and buyers olten have to hold tlam from a week to ten days in order to get a car load. This mean -brink in ilesh nnd expense in feeding high priced corn. The remedy is si.i.ple. It is this: Establish certain days, say Monday and Tuesday of each week, as hog market days. The ground just west ol the stockyards can, no doi bt, be secured from the railroad company as a market place, when, if the farmers will bring in their hogs or other live stock they will find competitive buyers at highest market prices. The buyers will be in closer touch with the market and less liable to go broke in the business. John Bratt, We Excell The Eastern Star will hold a ten cent social at the home of Mr, and Mrs. C. S.

A number of tbe cattlemen from tbis vicinity, and those liavinn ranpeB north of the river, met Tuesday to arrange matters for the purpose of organizing a Cattle men's AsHoriation. They held an intormnl meeting and decided to call a meeting May 3, when the reyul ir organization will be effect ed. This is a step in the riu'.it direction and one that has forced itself on the owners of ranches. They find it necessary for the pro tection of their herds. The past year has been otic of considerable loss to the cosv man. There has been more reports of the loss nl cattle by straying or being driven away the last season than ever be fore in the history of cattle ranging in the country north. It is the purpose of the association to take in a scope ol country, commencing on the Keysione pasture on the west, Lena the north and Brady Island the east. Included in this territory will be ranches south of and between the rivers. They ex pect to organize this territory tutu an association tor tnutual protec tion aiaiust cattle rustlers and those who carelessly drive on? stock in herds that pabs through the range. They will employ an ex pert in brands to ride the range and keep tab on the cattle of the members of the association and his services will, doubtless, be found invaluable to the btock men. Their brands will be protected in the stock markets of Omaha and other shipping points where western cattle are marketed. The protec tion of the range from lire is an other feature worthy ot cousidera tion. Sutherlaad Krce Lance.
