They have made many needed repairs and now have the mill in fltst-class condi- tlou. I'm m a little investlmilioti ot oar own we find that our mills ate making Hour second to none in the valley and house wives are commenc ing to specify the Red Cloud brand in giving their orders for Hour. We are much pleased to learn this condition of alTaiis as we see noienson why Hour cannot bo made hero that will equal or exceed the product of any other locality. In years past when thu little- snow flakes began to decend gently to tlio earth wo were delighted to pick up "Snow Hound" or somo such work and enjoy ourselves but this winter we hnvo continued that practice so long that wo Imvo come to the end of our rope and aro heartily tired of tho wholo subject. Its all right to let the feelings out for a spell but when the Know falls overy day of tho week, and every week of tho month and wo al most said overy month in the year, we confess our utter inability to onjoy such soulful occupation for so pro tracted leugth of time. Wc'ro u bit disappointed. Mr. Fred U. Ashtou has decided to becomo a canilidato again for representative- to Congress. Mr. Ashton is making an excellent record for himself and is eminently fitted for tho important position to which ho aspires. Ho is an ideal people's candidate be ing uncontrolled by any cliquoor boss. He feels strongly the injustice of boss rule and theie is no question of a doubt what.

KANSAS CITY'S BIG YEAR More Moiif.y laid out for Live Stock at H.uihs City in 190!) than In any Previous Year. Cattle receipts at the Stock Yards at Kansas City during the year l!)l)0 weie nearly two hundred thousand head mentor than in 1903, calf and sheep receipts were the heaviest on record, and while hog receipts full on? about six hundred thousand head from ie ceipts of the previous year, it was due to legitimate causes, mid was a moder ate loss when it is considered that tho shortage of hogs at. the Hvo leading markets of the country this year was almost thice million head. Receipts of horses and mules weio larucr in !)(-! than in any year since llKH'. racking operations at Kansas Citv u 11)01 exceeded those of any previous 'ear in cattle, calves and sheep, and were up to the limit of the supply in hogs. A total of more than six mill ion animals were slaughtered in the plants at Kansas City during the year. Order buyers for Eastern slaughterers were unusually active all year, and ,1 !... . . .... uiuiu man mice quarters ot u million head of stock and feeding cattle were bought here and shipped to the farms and pastures of overy state In the corn belt during 1SI0D. As a result of this unprecedented competition for all classes of live stock at Kansas City, prices havo beon most satisfactory to shippers all year, and a good part of the time there has been less stock of fered on the market than the demand called for. Weekly cattle supplies running from olghty to ninety thous and head during September and Oc tober were oleatii-d up in good shape at the close of each week, mid tho market actually advanced from week to week in spite of the big runs. Hogs touched 58 IIT 't in September, SV.li in November and f SX0 in December, high est pi Ices for hogs since the war. with the exception of a short period in lsh-. Prime heef steers sulci at ten ami a qiim ter cents per pound in October, mid at ten and u half in December, highest prices ever paid for live cattle on the open market, and cattle from the range country this tall have netted three to six dollars per head more at Kansas City than ever before. Bheep and lambs havo sold at unprecedented figures all the year, and packer buyers hero had to scramble to getasuiUcient number to decently till their orders, while country buyers wore unable to secure enough feeding and breeding animals at any time during the year. Horses nnd mules sold at highest prices in any recent year, notwith standing strong competition in some of their formpr fields of usefulness in thu way of tho various kinds of motors now in use. The total value of all the Hvo stock marketed at Kansas City in 1000, on the hoof, was more than one hundred mid sixty Hvo millions of dollars, an increase of 1- pur cent above the greatest, previous year, which was loos. During the year l'.iilil eleven acres ()l brick hor-e barns were torn down and removed, and cattle puns built on tho sp ice vacated, making room for .100 additional cur loads of cattle. Thu capacity of the quarantine cattle divis ion was doubled dining the year, and j u now sliMiqi b ti ii was builPi iieeoiiiiuo- uauug i.i.uiu siuep iiimi lauios in audi tion to the former capacity. Other extensive impruvciuuiit.s were made or inaugurated, among them the erection ofu nine story llreproof hiw btouk lixi'hango Itullillng. which will be the tin. si building for this purpose in tho worul, 12 by U.'iU feet in siv.e. contain ing '17 5 olllci-K. w bleb will be completed in October, K'l The Chief $1.50 a year.
