originated from time to time.
Probably the latest is a flexible ball to

"There is a great variety of opinion
among range cattle men as to the con.
dition of the cattle and the extent of
winter and spring losses.
"President G. X. Howard says the
loss on cattle east of the Chyenne river
was very light, while west of that
boundary it was exceedingly large.
"The greatest loss in range cattle
in Suoth Dakota was around Belle
Fourche. Even the double wintered
cattle on the open ranges suffered
severely.
"Losses to small operators who had
shelter and hay we're very
small. Harris Franklin's estimate of
20 to 30 per cent loss is not agreed to
by number of large operators. Mr..
Holcomb, however puts the open range
loss at % per cent, but George Moore
head sticks to his estimate of not
more than Is to 20 per cent"

pose to defend the beef packing inter
