to the Republican of the resources of
Navajo county, gives the numbers OF
livestock as follows: Horses assessed
at 2,l76; cattle, 9,529; sheep. 30o,-

THE SHORTAGE OF CATTLE

On the Pacific coast; says Tom
Keogh in the Salt Lake City Tribune,
there is almost panic for enough
cattle to supply the local market, and
indications are that before Christmas
the dressed beef men from this side
of the mountains will be shipping
cattle to California. Prices are ad-
vancing at an alarming rate, and even
the high prices are not drawing out
many cattle, FOR the simple reason
that they are not in the country.
Take it on the Pacific coast now,
I know that around the Reno distric
in Nevada, whence California has
drawn Its great supply for wears, there
are OILY 5000 or 1000 head left. and
there were nearly 10000 last spring,
The good prices in ihe east have in
duced eastern buyers to enter the dis
trict and buy. and the Californians
did not awake to the situation until
they saw the cattle being shipped
out.
In the same way eastern buyers
have cleaned out Arizona, Oregon,
Washington, Nevada, Idaho, Colora-
L. ~.~oo2 oE TIkoL
For several years cattlemen have
spayed their heifers and fattened
them and two-year-olds for market,
until the ranges are absolutely barren.
The great bulk of the cattle of this
country are now concentrated in
Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa and Missouri
where they can get corn. They will
come to market next year and there
will be no shortage then, for the av-
erage farmer thinks as long as he can
see so many cattle around him that
the world must be full of them.
