CATTLE MEN
ENCOURAGED
GOOD FEELING PREVAILS IN
BUTTER CREEK.
StOckmen Say That Is Per cent Is
Saved by Using Hay
choppers.

George Vincent, the we'll known
stockman and all round prospe GUS
ranchman, came in from mis- Butter
creek place this week.
Mr.. Vincent states that Butter creek
people are prosperous and all are in ex-
ceptionallv good spirits over the pros
poets of the cattle market which is
prominent factor in the Butter creek
district.
In the past two weeks II carloads of
beef cattle have been shipped to Seat.
tie markets at prices ranging from So 45
for steers and So so for COWS which is
an advance that has caused much good
feeling.
The above prices when compared
with previous conditions are encourag.
ing, especially when the demand is
greater than the supply which is the
case in the Butter creek feeding
grounds.
After the middle of the month and
specially along in the latter part of Jan
uary the feeders expect to have
larger supply to turn off and feel con-
fJent of sti better market.
Owing to decided scarcity of beef
stock among Western growers, a con-
clifton has arisen that is encouraging to
men who are handling cattle.
M. Vincent states that an agreement
between Seattle aud Portland buyers
ha' been in force for the past three
years which has given Portland exclu-
sive privileges over the Butter creek
territory, and these people have been
at the mercy of Portland buyers.
Owing to great scarcity in the
Okanogan country in Washington, in
Idaho and bad shipping prospects in
Montana, Seattle buyers have been
forced to come to Butter creek. The
are that the head buyer
Of Frye.Bruhm & Co., the big Seattle
dealers, have sent a man direct to
Butter creek, which is the direct cause
of the present activity.
It is estimated that 5000 head of beef
cattle will be fed on Butter creek this
season, Mr.. Vincent is feeding 25O
lead.
MIR. Vincent predicts that the new
cutting machines now being introduced
N Butter creek will be a great success.
The machines cut the hay into pieces
III the way from an inch to four inches
q length. giving the stock a better
hance to get it all. thus saving at least
) per cent from being tramped and
wasted. When it is considered that
'utter creek feeders use thousands of
ons each year a saving of Is per cent
not to be overlooked.
The machine belonging to Messrs.
Saylor and Stanfeld is be.
X operated to its uilest capacity and
n outpu. OF 10 tons per day is being
tined out. The owners of this ma
hIne have enough cattle to consume
le entire output OF the machine.
L. ID. Matthews and II. +. Butholo-
lew have purchased new machine
hich will be put in operation at Pine
ity.
Mr.. Vincent predicts that in the near
lture all the Butter creek feeders will
sing choppers.

and 80 cents

A new and improved plant will be put
in by the Union Meat Company. where
ii re destroyed the building and practi-
cal.y all of its contents Tuesday night
This is the statement made by Presi-
dent j. F. O'Shea.
Destruction of the building and plant
threw $50 empoyes ont of work, entail
ing much loss in that manner, as the
payroll was large. With the other
machinery and fixtures was burned the
complete canning plant, which had but
recently been added to the concern,
thisadepartment alone keeping IS men
and women busy. The loss there was
Sis, 5000.
Statement OF losses-President j. F.
O'Shea now estimates the total losses
in the big Union Meat Company's fire
at from Sl50.OOO to 5000, 900. He says
it is impossible to make closer figure,
because much meat may yet be saved
f-om the basement.
