FUNsToN KNEW
Told the Government 1t Must Pay Big
Prices for Horses.


Washington, Sept. 2S.-DifHculty is
being experienced by the quartermas-
ter generals department of the army
in obtaining horses and mules. Even
at high prices good cavalry horses are
scarce and nearly impossible to pro
cure. The scarcity is not local. but
extends throughout the country, even
in the stock raising regions of the west
and northwest
A few weeks ago, a contractor in
the state of Washington was awarded
a contract to supply the army with
about 500 cavalry horses at his bid of
S92 a head. He thus far has been I'M
able to fill the contract and it is re-
garded as likely that he may be nearly
financially ruined in his efforts TO meet
his obligation to the government.
A short time before General Funston
was ordered to Cuba he requested au-
thority to purchase, in an emergency,
so cavalry horses at $3.50 head. The
request was refused by the depart
ment. because of the contract which
the government had made for such
horses at S92 & head. On account of
the scarcity of horses, animals suitable
for the cavalry are now worth about
$40 a head. Mules are even scarcer
than horses. Good mules are worth
about $3.50 a head and are difficult to
get at that price on account of the
great foreign demand. Returns from
the bids opened last Tuesday in the
west for cavalry horses and mules
have not been received at tho war de-
partment yet, but It is expected the
prices will be high, particularly as the
specifications require delivery within
Is days of the award of the contracts.
