Bringing Nearly Twice as LIuch as

This Time, Says Report.
Reports from the "est indicate
that sheep feeders are prying prac
tically twice 'as much as they were
paying one year ag'o for feeding stock
.nd that there is a. strong
demand.
A large number of sheep are being
shinned into the beet sugar districts
for feeding end the demands for j
transportation from th:-- sour'-e are'
nbout all the railroads can supply.
The movement of range eattle is also
strong. Burlington ordvrs for cars
from the northwest district for the
past week having totalled more than
1.20O errs. Some of this movement
is being delayed by the lack of equip
ment but the railroads are handling
a let of stock.
Range sheepmen are sr.id to have
done well with their stock this year
and the heavy demand f;r feeders has
brought them a fine profit. The lamb
crop was fairly larga rnd the prices
are so good that the range men have
done well.
Railroad business in this territory I
has grown to such proportions

it is handled with cUmculty. ire
Union Pacific is said tj be swamped

With the light rain at noon came

the application of heavier clothing by

weather is what is generally called
squaw winter and will soon be passed
by for the more pleasant weather,

FIXED ON COAL IN
SMOKELESS FIELD
Rate of $6 a Ton on all Lunp Fuel
of Domestic Sizes at Mines is
Announced by Spens.
Washington, Oct. lG.By agreement
with the operators of bituminous coal
mines in the "smokeless fields of
West Virginia, it was announced.
Federal Fuel Distributor Spens has
fixed a maximum price of ?6 a ton
to apply to all the lump coal for do
mestic sizes, at the mines there. The
agreement is said to be preliminary
to an attempt at similar negotiations
fixing the price on coal, particularly
of types intended for domestic use,
in all the 1C districts east of the
Mississippi in which coal is mined.
The West Virginia "smokeless"
coal produced in the Pocahontas.
New River. Winding Gulf and Tug
River mining sections, are used in
great measure to supply domestic
consumers for heating purposes. Pres
ent prices charged for the lump out
put, the distributor's statement said,
have rcnged up to J9.45 a ton at
the mines.
A large number of the individual
operators in the fields named have
participated in the conferences which
ended with the price fixing agree
ment and it was estimated that SO
per cent of the production in the
territory was represented.
