Beef Cattle Estimates

Beef of attractive quality will find
a high market during the approaching
holiday season. There is an obvious
dearth of it. Choice steers are now
selling at holiday prices. During the
fore part of December, 1905, plenty
of cattle of Christmas quality sold at
$6@6.50 per cwt., which are present
quotations on steers thar are only of
medium quality. 1t is a safe predic-
ton that holiday trade will be on a
basis of 10 cents to 81 higher than
year ago. There is talk of sS cattle,
but that forecast is greeted with the
same skepticism that marked 81 sug-
gestions a few weeks ago.
Quite bunch of fine beef has gone
through Merrill the past week bound
for market. The Mitchell boys took
something over 1000 head out, Swans
ton took out about 200, the Grohs,
Shook and Langell valley cattle of
over 600 also went out. j. Hotchkiss
will be in from Lake tomorrow with
a big bunch.
A great many cattle are being fed
in the valley for the holiday market.
Frank Bloomingcamp has 42S head
at the Carroll ranch and others are
feeding big bunches in other places.

filings on the upper Mckenzie river,
both in Lane and Linn counties and
on the Santiam for alleged purposes
Of developing electric power, has now
filed on the waters Of Waldo lake, in
the extreme eastern end of Lane
county, for the same purpose, the pa
pers being filed with the county clerk
Saturday afternoon.
Three filings were made, one for
10000 miners inches of water flow
ing out of the lake and down the
north fork Of the Willamette river,
another for the same amount down
the same stream, and the third for
10000 inches down Salt creek. The
first canal, known as Waldo canal, Is
to be six miles long and the others,
known as Salmon canal and Diamond
canal respectively, eight miles each.
Little Is known of Curtis plans, or
who he represents but 1t is certain
that he is securing some very valua-
BILE power sites. Whether anything
comes out of these numerous filings
remains to be seen. Last summer a
party of surveyors, under Curtis di-
rectlon, worked about two months on
the headwaters of the Mckenzie, but
they gave out no information.

ACTION AGAINST sHANGHAING.
Vicious Custom Made the Basis for
Virtual Slavery.

New York, Nov An employ
ment agent named Sigmund s
Schwartz, who runs an employment
agency at 2S3 Bowery, Is at present
awaiting trial, the grand jury in this
city having returned true bill
In the meantime License Commission
er John n. Rogers has revoked the
employment agency Incense of
Schwartz.
Schwartz daily advertises for labor
ers, promising them high rate of
wage and transportation expenses
The grand jury had evidence adduced
TO show Schwartz sent n batch of
Italian and Irish laborers to Mayton
and Buffalo Bluff, in Florida. They
were put on board a ship sailing from
here and were landed at Jackson
vile. They were then forced to work
in the turpentine swamps, and any
time a man tried to escape from this
humiliating degradation, he was
caught by colored overseers and
brought back at the point of a pistol.
1t has been stated that Schwartz
hns for years traded in human blood.
\ confrere of his, a man who calls
himself Harry Hertz, is also in prison
charged with sending women to pri-
vate families as servants without in
vestigating their characters.

BOISE NEEDS COAL.
Situation i'm Idaho's Capital is Not
Improving.


Dealers claim the coal situation in
Boise is growing worse ,ather than
improving, says the Boise Statesman.
The supply of the local dealers is
gradually dwindling and now you will
be lucky If you get even a sackful, in
which measure the demand has been
partly supplied for several weeks past.
Dealers who have had enough to sup
ply their customers with an OCCASION
al sackful, thus giving all some re-
lief now have no coal at ALL and while
there is no actual suffering from want
of coal, the situation presents a grave
necessity for immediate relief.
Every day coal dealers are asked
when they will have some coal in but
they cannot answer the question as
there are no returns in sight from
their orders. Only six cars of coal
were received by the several Boise
dealers last week, according to the
statement of one of them.
To get anything like relief, at least
one carload should be received in
Boise every day for 80 days, one deal
er says.

Britain for the 1907 season will be
from 100000 to 10000 cases. They
go in cold storage at temperature Of
32 degrees to 40 degrees, and a
freight rate Of Sc cents per case was
charged on the 1906 crop, for the H.
900 miles covered. Had the sh p
ments been larger the rates would
likely have been slightly rover. BY
a cooperative plant the fruit is sent
in gradual shipments in order to yield
the highest prices.
Apple orchards in full bearing in
Tasmania are valued at $4Sj to $3.50
per acre, as much as s1192 per acre
having been paid for orchards 20
miles from Hobart. With fair crops,
as in 1905, the average return is 400
bushels per acre, though 500 to 1900
bushels have been produced. A fair
return is figured at As to 54 cents per
bushel on the trees. II is feared that
the rapidly increasing orcnards will
shortly produce a big surplus above
the natural demand.
