THE Tribune of Saturday has an item
which, coming after an article in the
BANNER last week, gives further infor-
nation about the rapid transit of becves
from the west, in which several Ben
nington capitalists are interested "The
train of 10 carloads of cattle from Soda
Springs, Idaho, reached the stock yards
at Jersey City late Wednesday, but they
were not put on the market until TODAY.
They were shipped in palace cars and
came through direct to New York with
no detention except the brief time re-
qulred for renewing the bedding, which
was done at Chicago. The cattle were
as fresh as daises and lively as crickets
when they were unloaded, and the five
and a half days consumed on the trip
seemed TO have been pleasant pastime.
MIR. William +. Hawks, president ofthe
Soda Springs Land and Cattle Company,
was at the yards, and appeared Justly |
proud of this fine herd of graded Dur |
hams and Short Horns, as he denomi-
mated them. To the inexperienced eve
there appeared to be the least streak of
Colorado blood in them. This is the
fist through shipment from the far
west, and doubtless Chicago looked |
with a jealous eye upon this train pass
ing along without paying yard tolls and |
iced bills, but the Big Four, although |
hey glanced wistfully at the bovines,
couldn't tempt Mr.. Hawks to slow up, |
and he has successfully inaugurated a
new departure in the cattle transit sys-
EN-, as it affects the Western ranges.
Whether the cattle will prove to be as
good as Mr.. Hawks predicted can be
better determined later, but for steers
ed on nothing but grass, and wintered
IN the ranges with no artificial protec-
ion from the weather, they were re-
narkably likely looking drove, and show
he wisdom of the management pursued
~ this company in not overstocking
heir ranches, and giving the cattle the
,est of care. Mr. Hawks estimates the
hrinkage per head not to exceed so
pounds"
