Sheep and cattle men who are Win

greatest loss as a result of today's

estimated that there are 5000 head of
cattle and 10000 head of sheep in the
Hudson bay and Walla Walla districts
that will require extra feeding. Thee
is no scarcity of forage in those dis
tricts and the loss Of livestock will be
nominal, unless prolonged period Of
