Interesting statistics Gathered o.

County Assessor Boone this week
placed in our hands some figures Of
interest in relation to the stock In.
dustry of Whitman county. These
figures are compiled from the assess
ment records In his possession, and
are fresh and reliable. Some OF
these figures are "a surprise In the
smallness of the aggregate which
they foot up; and they all 60 to
show that the stock industry Of
Whitman county Is on the decline,
giving way before the rapid advance
of agricultural pursuits. The fig.
ures for the leading varieties OF stock
are as follows: Number of cattle,
26,30s; horses, 26,656; sheep, 80, ,2SS;
swine, 4,0i6.
These are the numbers actually
assessed. They include nothing un-
der yearlings, and considerable
number are doubtless overlooked in
the work of assessing. Assessor
Boone gives 1t rs his opinion that
the above figure are not more than
10 per cent. Of the actual number Of
cattle, horses and sheep in the count
try and less than half the number o.
sw inc. On this basis of computa
ton then, II is a safe estimate OF the
amount of stock in the country to
place In round numbe ~ cattle, 3d.
100; horses, $500; sheep, 40, 400;
hogs, 5000. These figures are fair
and reasonably accurate.
Furthermore. cattle will average
in value sl2 per head. This makes
the 30, 100 head of cattle in the coun.
ty worth S42l 200. Horses will aver
age $50 per head, making the worth
of 30, 800 horses In this county reach
$4,000. Sheep are worth 81 per
head, making n total value of s40,-
400. Swine are worth $3.50, making
a total value Of $l3,500. The result
of our study, If tabulated. would be:
