ESTIMATED LOSS Of STOCK
LOST IN THE RECENT STORMS
The Extreme Northwest Suffers Least
California Suffers From Drouth-A
Heavy Loss Through Texas, New Mex
leo and Indian Territory.

Denver, Colo, March S--From reports
which have been coming to the headquar-
tiers of the National Live Stock Associa-
ton for the past month, the officers OF the
association estimate the losses from the
recent storms to cattlemen who have herds
on the open ranges at q per cent of the
entire amount. This, in round numbers,
would amount to over three quarters of a
million head.
The reports have been received from
leading stockmen and are considered ac-
curate as far as they go. Oregon, Wash
ington and Arizona suffered very little and
will have only nominal losses. California
is still suffering from drouth and the out
look there is bad. The losses in Wyoin-
ing, Colorado and the Dakotas as yet have
not averaged A per cent
In northern and Western Texas and
northeastern New Mexico and southern
Oklahoma and Indian Territory the heav-
lest losses have been with so-caled
Through CATTLE" that is, cattle being
moved north from the south, reaching III
some sections as high as 20 per cent.
Further Loss Expected.
Taking the range sections as a whole, to
the present time, the losses will average 4
per cent. With the most favorable condi-
tions that can be expected additional loss
may be looked for before spring, and
should the weather continue bad through
March, a heavy loss will certainly result.
In Utah, Wyoming and some parts OF
Oregon heavy sheep losses are reported.
1t is feared that there will also be heavy
sheep losses in Montana Wyoming re-
ports some instances OF losses reaching as
high as 80 per cent, and some claim that
if March furnishes much bad weather the
sheep losses in that state may reach %
per cent.
