Mr.. Motion Frewen, of the Frewen
Cattle company, Powder river, Mon
tana, a resident of England, elucidates
a scheme for shipment of range beef
direct to Europe on the hoof, the points
of which are given in our St. Paul
correspondence. 1t is in effect to
carry cattle from the ranges by the
Northern Pacific, the great lakes and
through Canada to the seaboard.
This he claims would give England
the benefit of healthy cattle, the pro
posed route avoiding the infected dis
tricts in the eastern states. Mr.. Frewen
insists that this plan is practicable and
he will probably give it a fair test.
His company is one of the strongest
in the Powder river country. This is
a blow direct at the dressed beef in
dustry now in the processes of rapid
development, and the DeMores and
Frewen companies may yet measure
lances. The views of stock-growers
and dressed beef men reported to-day
may shed some light on the subject
