NEVADA LODGE CELEBRATES.
Modern Woodmen Organized Twenty
Years Ago—Good Program.
v. Special to Tiines-Republican.
Nevada, Jan.
31.—-Frontier
Camp, No.
296, Modern Woodmen of America, cel
ebrated the twentieth anniversary of
.the organization of the order In this
city, at their hall, Tuesday evening.
About sixty members of the local lodge
were present at a "smoker." A splen
did program was carried out, and one
of the most interesting numbers was a
history of the lodge by Dr. H. D.
Chamberlain, who has been camp clerk
practically continuously since the in
stitution of the lodge.
There were twenty-one charter mem
bers of the camp, all but six of whom
are still on the rolls. There are now
1S2 members in good standing, out of
ithe 316 names which have been on the
caiQp roster since its organization. The
balance have dropped out, been trans
ferred, passed to the great'beyond, or
been rejected. For over ten years in
the early history of the lodge, the
meetings were held but semi-annually,
and" not until 1899 did the camp show
any signs of life, since which time it
•has enjoyed a rapid and healthy
growth.

More Fish for Iowa City.
Special to Times-Republican.
Iowa City. Jan. 31.—The fish ways in
the new dams constructed in this sieo
tion. of -.he Iowa river meet with the
approval of state fish inspector George
Lincoln, and a carload of bass, pick
erel and crappies wili be placed in tlie
river as soon as possible.
The market for feeders was steady
but lacked keen tone, outside demand
being only moderate, while there was
no very urgent call from tfce local order
buyers. Strictly good feeders were
again scarce and sold most readily, tho
there was fair tone to the trade for
medium classes. Light grades, on the
other hand, were slow sellers, the coun
try buyers being inclined to pass up
such classes, while dealers had a liberal
supply of these in their pens, and they
took the fresh offerings indifferently.
Dealers have accumulated a liberal
number of medium steers since the
opening this week and yesterday they
were cautious operators in the fresh
stock, beiAg desirous of avoiding a con
gested market later this week. The
country demand is not broadening out
very satisfactorily and unless there is
a considerable increase in the buying
in later days this week prospects do
not favor a very close clearance.
Hogs.
Indications were that all would be
bought up at 5@10c higher.
Packers made a frantic effort today
to protect themselves from further ad
vance on the relatively high scale of
prices. The main props of the market,
as far as packing demand, was con
cerned. were out all the forenoon, al
lowing prices to sag 5c from the range
at which most of Tuesday's trading
was done. The packers were evidently 1
intent on dealing out fierce punishment
to speculators, and the big fellows held
out of the market until the noon hour,
tho the provision market on 'change
was absolutely running away with it
self, making the biggest bulge in
weeks. Later the big buyers for pack
ers carrie in and showed hunger for the
hogs that were still in the hands of
commission men, paying $6.80@6.87to
for the bulk and as high as $6.90 for the
extra sm90th lots, tho evading the hogs
held by speculators wherever they
could detect them or passing them
with bids considerably below the above
range.
Sheep.
Sheep were strong and 10@15c high
er/ Fat lambs sold all the way from
5.70@7.75. Other lambs, poorer stuff,
sold down from 4.85 up.
The half-week supply is 16,000 less
than last week and 7,000 less than a
year ago, while weather conditions
have been favorable for consumption
of mutton, but the adverse influence
of last week's h&s.vy run is still felt,
and the mutton market down east is in
anything but healthy condition. Buffa
lo, Pittsburg, Cleveland, and other
points down east have been filled with
native and fed western stuff, practic
ally closing the shipping outlet here.
Salesmen who turned to shippers in
their delemma found them out of the
bidding, as eastern points were rela
tively much lower than Chicago. To
make matters worse, Missouri river
markets are filled up and trade there
badly demoralized.
Yfon^f^mMiaw, I««a. ?auuarg 31 1907
Speculators However, Found
Prices Would Not Stand So
Much Raise As Expected
HOG MARKET ALSO HIGHER
The Indications Were That Offerings
Would Bring Five to Ten More Than
Yesterday's Prices, and That Ali
Would Be Bought Up—Sheep
Strong and Higher.
Chicago, Jan. 31.—Cattle prices were
steady to 10 higher nothing choice ar
rived, and even short fed steers were,
readily taken. Fat cows and heifers
were in good demand. Thirteen thou
sand and six hundred were carried over
from yesterday in the hands of specu
lators, who found, however, that prices
would not stand so much raise as fig
ured on.
The half week's marketing of 53,400
stands against 62,500 a week ago and
51,044 a year ago. This material de
crease in the run -from last week is
I helping the situation but little, owing
to the narrow consumptive demand for
the bulk of the beef now being offered
by killers. Quality of the supply has
been too plain to enthuse the buyers (5f
cattle and likewise the beef men. The
public wants good cuts, and they are
scarce. That's the reason for the
strength in the market for fat heavy
steers this week and the rather slow
trade and unsteady undertone to the
situation in other classes.

Chicago Stockyards Notes.
Good feeding cattle scarce and steady
sale.
Moderately good export demand for
heavy steers.
Supplies of bulls small and general
demand good.
Rather liberal supply of Kansas
steers sold above $6 today.
Cow trade has good tone, bulk of
sales ranging steady to firmer. Any
thing fat in the cow or heifer line,
however, sold freely all day yesterday,
and at firm prices. There were not
many lots of heifers good enough to
go above $4.73. but a prime kind was
worth and higher. Most of the
good to choice heifers sold at $4@4.50,
and the medium to good heifer stock
at $3@3.65. Some prime cows made
$4.75, and bulk of fat grades, $3.75@
4.35. while medium cows went mostly
I at $3.10@3.50.
I Shipping demand for hogs compara
tively light.
Hog shipments have fallen off this
week.
1 Buyers claim that the local houses
still have a liberal supply of beef from
light killing steers, and naturally they
'are not keen bidders for such kinds to
day.
Hog receipts thus far this week show
an increase of about 33,000 compared
with same period last week, and 12.000
compared with corresponding time last
year.

MEAT PRODUCERS' HEARING.
Important Meeting of Railroad Com
mission to be Held February 7.
An important meeting of the rail
road commission of Iowa will be held
at Des Moines
011
February 7, when
the commission will hear the Iowa Corn
Belt Meat Producers' Association's re
quest for a lower railroad rate to
points within the state. The associa
tion considers that the rate on live
stock is too high, and will attempt a
showing that it should be reduced. The
Marshall county association is much
interested in the movement, and it is
likely that officers of the local associa
tion will attend.
Chairman N. S. Ketchum, of th-i
commission, returned home Wednesday
evening from Cedar Rapids, where he
has been in attendance at a meeting of
the interstate commerce commission
relative to a joint interstate rate with
the Cedar Rapids and Iowa City electric
lino.
Six Thousand Head, Suffering
For Food, Invade McLeod,
Alberta
HELPLESS ANIMALS DYING FAST
Railroads Reaping Reward of Delay—
Thousands of Cars Tied Up in Min
neapolis Waiting to Be Moved
Consigned to Northwest Points—Hill
Says Storms Are Unparalleled.
MacLeod, Alberta, Jan. 31.—This
town was invaded Tuesday night by
fully 6,000 head of half famished range
cattle, and a host of mounted men are
now endeavoring to drive the animals
outside the town limits. Range cattle
are in exceedingly bad shape and the
losses will run high. As the result of
walking thru the crusted snow, the
legs of many of the animals are raw
and bleeding. Many of them can hard
ly stand, and every night many die
from exposure and weakness.
The chinook wind which visited this
part last week was warm but of brief
duration. While it lasted the prairie in
many places was covered with water
and sloppy snow. Ten minutes after
the chinook dropped the prairie was
one sheet of ice, and before morning
the drifts could be crossed on horse
back.
It 1st impossible for cattle to reach
feed, and they are bunched together
and ceaselessly move about. This is
reducing them in flesh very fast.
The winter is the coldest experienced
in twenty years. All outside work has
been stopped by the cold, which has
prevailed almost without break since
November.
Railroads Reap Reward of Delay.
Minneapolis, Jan. 31.—Two thousand
cars of freight in the hands of the
Great Northern railroad are stalled in
Minneapolis or at the Minnesota Trans,
fer waiting for lines to be cleared and
for engines to move them. Elevator
firms interested in the movement ^of
cars who have been doing some quiet
investigating to see where all the cars
are and what is actually doing, say that
2.000 is a safe estimate of the number
of stalled cars in and about the city.
All are loaded with merchandise con
signedvto points all over the northwest.
In the delayed cars are thousands of
dollars worth of Christmas lines that
have not arrived yet and may not ar
rive until next Christmas. Tho the
roads have not been receiving perisha
ble goods for points in the northwest
for some time, some of fhe delayed
shipments are of this class and will be
worthless when they arrive.
Roberts last week showed a large
number of Northern Pacific" cars ti-ad
up In the same manner. In addition
to the cars stalled in and about the
city, are many other cars stalled at
points all along the lines. It is charged
that owing to the policy of moving
only capacity loads when the lines
were open, hundreds of cars were
dropped off at intermediate points
when breaks, bad weather and cold cut
down the hauling capacity of engines.
These cars theoretically It is said,
were to have been gathered up later,
but the blockade has made it impos
sible.
The Soo line running west is not
without its troubles, too. A shipper
returning from a tour of investigation
thru the west reports that he saw
twenty dead locomotives scattered
along the Soo line between Minneap
olis and Carrington, N. D. In most
cases the trains they were trying to
haul are stalled with them. One en
gineer who was ordered to take out
thirty cars protested that he coeldn't
get thru with them. He started, but
"died," as he expected.
Every stalled car on the three sys
tems must be -shoveled out before it
can be moved. The dry, drifting snow
of the prairies packs about them as
hard as sand. Tho not necessarily
deep, the packed snow, once it has a
chance to pack between the wheels
and the rails, prevents any movement
by sheer force, and the shoveling crew
is necessary. 0
New York, Jan. 31.—James J. Hill,
president of the Great Northern, rail
way, arrived In New York, late yes
iterday from out of the northwest,
where 700 miles of his road are buried'
under snow drifts and the worst bliz
zard in its history is raging. Speaking
of the storms, Mr. Hill said:
"The storms raging from Larimore,
N. D., to the foot of the Rockies are
almost unparalleled in the history of
that country.. Out of seventy-three
winter days, we have had sixty days
of storm. But we don't expect any
disastrous effects if the weather mod
erates soon.
"Notwithstanding the severity of the
winter, a wrong impression prevails in
the east regarding the sufferings of
our western citizens. That idea has
been fostered out there by the little
politicians who have been sending tel
egrams to Washington.
"Why, out in Devil's Lake, which is
in the heart of the storm center, they
are giving balls and dances. They
were very indignant to learn that the
east believed they were starving and
freezing. Grand Forks, which is a
supply station, sent word in every di
rection to learn where there was any
want or suffering. They heard from
one man who was In need of tobacco,
while another said his supply of crack
ers had run short."
ANOTHER GOOD RUN.
Steady Prices Bring 700 Hogs to Local

With prices holding steady, and
$6.45 as the top for fanner hogs, an
