The High Price of Beef

In the June number of the "World' IS
Work. Mr.. G. w. Ogden explains the
causes of the present high price of beef
as follows: 1.-The high price of beef is
due to two causes: First, the scarcity
of feed i'm that section which furnishes
fat cattle for the market during the
winter and spring months, aud second,
to the increased consumption at home
and the ever-growlng export trade as
opposed to the limited expansion of the
live stock industry. The scarcity of
feed in the section indicated is due to
the drought of last summer, which cut
the corn, hay and cotton crops to less
than one-half the regular yield"
Regarding the outlook for the future
he saws: SIT is questionable whether,
under the most favorable circumstan-
ces, beef will ever be as clieap in the
United States again as it was five years
The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1902-06-26

ago. Since that time there has been
a gradual increase in the price of live
cattle, and a corresponding increase in
the dressed meat. Then consider the
Increased consumption at nome and
the growing export trade against the
comparative standstill of the live stock
industry. &
"There are fewer cattle in the United
States today, in relation to the popula-
ton of the country, than ten years ago
this Notwithstanding the government
animal census of 1900, which apparent
ly proves the contrary. Cattle growers
explain the animal census figures by
saying they look big because 1t is the
first correct census ever taken.
"The receipts of cattle at five west,
ern markets for the ten years ending
1891 were 6,5OO,OOO; for the ten, years
ending 1901, 7,l66.S56, or gain of $685..
S56. Compare this slight increase te
the gain in the country's population In
the corresponding length of time, and
add to it an increase of rs per cent in
the export trade, and you have the
primary cause of high-prced beef"

Total, acres. s................ .........3. 3.535.!

In addition to this large area which
has been withheld from settlement for
nearly thirty years, there are some
hundreds of acres in twelve lighthouse
reservations, but as rule these are of
little or no value flor any agricultur-
al purpose. They were wisely selected
for light stations and it is to be hoped
that it may not be many years before
lights will be established upon all of
them. The military reserves, however,
are more numerous and very much
larger than the government is likely
ever to have any use for and the sooner
a large portion of the area they cover is
opened to settlement and Improvement
the better will it be for the interests Of
the county.

MILITARY RESERVES
THEY INCLUDE OVER 3,535 ACRES IN
THIS COUNTY
A Peculiar boundary Question on Shaw
Island--War Department Claims Land
Patented to a Settler and Upon Which
are Most of His Improvements-Light
house Reserves.

Apecular question has arisen affect
ing the boundaries of one of the nice
places on Shaw island, abutting the
long strip of military reserve along the
shore of San Juan channel. 1t appears
that the land was located according to
the war departments provisional sur
vey and that the claim was properly
filed upon In the land Office and In due
course of time patent issued. Now
comes the war department and says
that the final survey of the military
reserve shows that the reserve extends
many rods back of the line of the pro-
visional survey and includes most of
the improvements OH the patented
land in question. The matter would
seem to be one that should be settled
between the war and interior depart
ments, without giving the settler any
reason for concern as to his rights un-
der his patent.
In this connection the ISLANDER de-
sires to again call attention to the large
amount of desirable water front prop
erty on San Jnan, Shaw and Lopez
islands that is held by the government
as military reserves" The reserva-
tions were made many years ago, soon
after the settlement of the boundary
dispute and the award of the islands to
the United States government. Pre-
vious to that time there had been no
means of acquiring land titles and nat
urally there were few improvements
made and settlement was slow. The
large areas reserved from settlement or
sale may have been due to an exagger-
ated idea of the strategic value of the
islands for purposes of military defense.
But whatever may have been the
views Of the war department at that
time, it ought to be apparent now that
not one-tenth of the land now included
in the various large military reserves
is ever likely to be needed by the gov
ernment for any purpose, and that the
Withholding of these areas from settle
ment is considerable check upon the
county's progress. The seven military
reservations are as follows:
