BEEF CATTLE CONTRACT.
There was only one tender for beef
cattle for the Settlement, to weigh not
less than 900 pounds dressed and be de-
livered in lots averaging 90 head a
month. 1t was from the Parker Ranch
by A. w. Carter, agent, and the price
III cents more than the past years.
Mr.. Carter, answering a question by
DR.. Cooper said the reason for the raise
was that the Board had got its beef too
cheap before Fat beef cattle were worth
9 IA cents dressed weight today.
Mr.. McVeigh said the conditions of
the new contract were much more fav-
orable to the Board than those of the
old one. The contractor takes all the
risk of losing cattle on the voyage or
| in the landing operations. Mr.. Garter
mentioned that II head were lost on a
recent trip.
