Cattle Receipts of cattle today, 18,500
head, was the heavift of any day In August
in the history of this market. Fully 90 per
cent of receipts were western range cattle
and there was an insignificant showing of
cornfed stuff. Choloe corn feds were wanted
and sold at not far from steady prices, some
prime 1-500-pound beeves bringing 314. S5,
thtf highest price ever paid here. On tho
western rangers the market was slow and
anywhere from 25o to 60c lower than a week
ago, and the same was true of cows and
heifers.
Business in stockers and feeders was rath
er quiet, steers selling anywhere from 25c
to 50c lower than a week go, while stock
heifers and stock calves were not far from
steady.

CANADIAN VICTORY
ON BLOODY HILL 70
Germans Pay No Attention to
Lives and Send Fresh
Troops Through Ranks
of the Dying.
(By Canadian Press. Limited.)
Canadian Headquarters in France,
Aug. JO. The t'licrccst engagement on
the Canadian front since the begin
ning of the war is gradually coming
to a triumphant end by the exhaus
tion of the enemy. Since the capture
of Hill 70 and St. Laurent on Wednes
day morning the Canadians defending
their newly-won positions have been
compelled to stand by almost without
cessation to meet the counter attacks.
The leaders of the German troops
are utterly regardless of the lives of
their men and as soon as one division
has spent itself in a frantic and futile
effort to recover the lost ground an
other is sent forward to the sacrifice.
Fresh Men Up.
The Fourth guards were cut to
pieces in yesterday's counter attacks
and during the night new division,
the JOth, was brought up. 'Passing
through their own lines without stop
ping, these fresh troops attacked at
4:30 o'clock Sunday morning on the
UOis-rlugo sector, north of Hill 70.
The attack was accompanied by a
projection of enemy liquid tire and
gas. Oi. artillery turned an ertec
tivc barrage upon the Germans,
which caused heavy losses, but they
continued to advance with the utmost
determination. At a dose distance of
only seventy yards from our line the
machine guns were turned upon the
attacking groups and they broke and
ran for cover.
South of St. Laurent the enemy
penetrated our first line trench, but
were driven out again as the result of
a counter attack. In these desperate
struggles there was much use of the
rifle, bayonet and bombs. The pris
oners now number more than 1,100.
One of the most heroic deeds put
on record in the Canadian corps since
the war began is that of a runner of
Colonel Ormondcr's Alberta bat
talion. The company to which he
was attached was hotly engaged near
the chalk pits and he was given a
message to take back to the battalion
headquarters over ground on which
shells wcrrx, falling continuously.
Second Man Killed.
He had not gone far when he was
seen to fall and another runner wis
at once sent out with a duplicate of
the message. The second messenger
was killed midway on his Journey, but
two hours afterward the first one ar
rived at the battalion headquarter
with his left arm blown off near the
shoulder.
His terrible wound had been rough
ly dressed in the held, and the mes
senger, far spent from loss of blood,
had then staggered on to his duty.
He was removed in a dying condition,
but he carried his message to its des
tination. Kansas City live fctork Market.

HERMAN TAKES
v HONORUS TOWN
Produces More Corn and Ships
More Porkers Than Any
Nebraska Town of
Its Size.
By J. T. BELL.
Herman, Neb., Aug. 20. This
thrifty town, of about 800 population,
was named in honor of Samuel Her
man, an old time passenger conductor
on the Omaha & Northwestern rail
road, as the road up this valley was
then called, He died in Chicago a
number of years ago. Mrs. Herman
was a sister of the wife of Vice Presi
dent Hendricks. The town is half a
mile south of the line between Burt
and Washington counties. About fif
teen years ago it was the scene of a
tornado which inflicted much loss on
the citizens, but it was rapidly rebuilt
At otie time it had a distinction that
the better class of its residents was
not proud of and that was its being
the only town in this part of the coun
try that had a saloon. However, with
the adoption of the state prohibition
amendment that one saloon was put
out of commission.
Place Swine Come From.
In these days a more worthy prom
inence is given Herman by reason of
its being a shipping point for hogs to
an extent not equaled by any other
Nebraska town of its sizc W. T.
Meader is the shipper and he gave
me the following Hst of prices he has
paid during three years on August 1
of each year: 1915. $6.40; 1916. $8.70: '
1917, $14.50. Last Friday's sjuotations
on the South Omaha market were
$18.25. Mr. Meader said that if he
had delayed his last shipment five
davs he would have made a profit of
$150 more than he got on a carload.
Corn is another product of this re
gion that brings much wealth to the
farmers and the prospects this year
are excellent, in all parts of Wash
ington county. Wheat and oats are
are also staple crops in this coun
ty. Here are some comparisons of
prices furnished by Leo Hugleman,
the local agent for the elevator com
pany, said prices being of date on
January 1, 1915: Wheat, per bushel,
8J cents; oats, 33; corn, 51; 191o,
wheat, $1.45: oats, 40 cents; corn, 70;
1917, wheat, $2.55; oats, 70 cents, corn,
$2.25.
Farm Lands High.
Farm lands are held at from $150
to-$200 per acre. The farms located
in the Missouri valley bottom are the
most productive, but occasional over
flows interfere to some extent in those
years with work. About thirty years
ago an extensive drainage system was
inaugurated to carry off the excess of
water and that improvement has been
carried on to some extent ever since
with satisfactory results. The chang
ing of the river bed a habit the
Missouri acquired years and years ago
is another factor that must be taken
into, consideration by farmers who lo
cate on the bottom lands. Last year,
for example, the river mo.' west
ward near Herman to the extent of
half a mile or so and Robert Peter
son saw his fine farm of about 200
acres wiped out. Possibly some por
tion of it was swept out into the Gulf
of Mexico through the Eads jetties.
1 Many Activities There.
Herman has two banks and a week
ly newspaper, the Record, of which
Paul E. Hubbell is the editor. In
these clays of the jumping skyward of
the price of print paper country edi
tors are stiffening up their subscrip
tion rates. It was in this neat fashion
that the Record editor announced his .
advance in rate: "We have come to a
parting of the ways, dear old dollar
rate. For many years you have been
our companion. Jn the good old days
before flour and pork chop and shoes
and paper and dollar watches and two
bit hair cuts joined that innumerable.
caravan which moved to that mys
terious realm beyond the ken of mor
tal man you filled every requirement.
But now you haven't the necessary '
elasticity to meet the demands of the
present. One of us will have to go.
If you stay we'll both have to go. So
it's up to you. After September 1 the
subscription price of the Record will
be $1.50 a year m advance.
Private McAvoy
Drowns in Lake
As Boat Upsets
The body of William McAvoy of
Chappel, Neb., private in Company B,
Fourth Nebraska, who was drowned
late Sunday night in Carter lake, was
found at 5:55 0 clock Monday morning
by a searching party headed by Dep
uty Sheriff Lindsay.
McAvoy evidently gave up his fight
for life within fifty feet of the East
Omaha shore, for the body was re
covered, tangled in weeds, in only
four feet of water. County Attorney
Magney, ex officio coroner, will hold
an inquest.
McAvoy, who was 23 years old, Mas
drowned when a boat in which he
and two companions were riding up
set. Arthur O'Leary, 1122 North Twenty-sixth
street, and James Stipe, 122
South Twenty-seventh street, were
saved.
The three men took a boat from
Lakeview park for a row on Carter
lake and it is said that O'Leary
started to rock the boat, causing all
three to fall out. McAvoy could not
swim and sank immediately. O'Leary
could not swim but he clung to the
upturned boat, while Stipe swam
ashore and brought a boat to the
rescue.
The accident occurred at the ex
treme east end of the lake, five blocks
north of the lead works and not far
from Kerrigan's landing.
McAvoy was stationed with the
Guardsmen east of the Union Pacific
bridge on the Iowa side of the Mis
souri and was absent on leave for a
night's outing.
