waters of tho river. Had the cen.
ter of the river been held to be the
State line as Texas claimed, the oil
wells in operation would have been
thrown into Texas.
While the decision settles a ques
tion in controversy, the fixture of
the boundary line by no means ends
litigation regarding Red River pro
perty, for hundreds of separate cases
are expected to be tiled in United
States Courts.
The next Issue in the litigation to
determine Just where the bed of the
river wus in 1819. Texas contends
that It was where it is now. Okla
homa claims that in 1819 the bed of
the river was some place south 6f
the present bed or against what Is
now known as "The Bluffs." The
Federal Government, shares Oklaho
ma's contention. Should this issue
be decided in favor of Oklahomn,
this State will gain a little new ter
ritory south of what Is now the river
channel.
KANSAS CITY LIVE STOCK
MARKET
A further decline ot 25 to 35 cents
In hogs took the market Into a new
low position for the year and the
lowest since January 1916. At the
decline the top price was $8.60 and
bulk $7.50 to $8.50. Sharp declines
were leported at more eastern mar
kets. The demand from small pask
ers and butchers for light weight
hogs in Chicago and St. Louis has fal.
len off materially cattle prices were
strong to 25 rents higher than Mon
day with a firm undertone In the
trade. Sheep and lambs were quoted
steady.
Following Monday's slow trade and
decline In prices the cattle market
today showed a material improv
ment In tone with prices throng to
25 cents higher. Receipts for the
two days included a smaller per.
cent of fat cattle, and a larger per
cent or stockers and feeders than In
proceeding weeks and killers are not
finding the runs burdensome. It is
also evident that the low prices Mon
day will cut down receipts late this
week and early next week. Good to
choice steers sold at $8.25 to $8.75
and fair to good kinds $7.50 up.
Cows and heifers sold readily at
strong prices. Veal calves stronger.
Demand for stockers and feeders
was fairly active with prices steady.
Receipts were liberal. Most ot the
demand was for suitable for grazing.
Some fleshy feeders sold at $7.85 to
$8.25. and most ot the stockers
brought $6.75 to $7.50.
Weakness continued in the hog
market and with another 35 to 50
cent decline In Chicago prices here
