upon band Of sheep at night that were

SHIPPED HORSES TO ALBERTA.
Car Shortage Likely to Cause
Heavy Loss TO shippers.

W. R. Penland, of Medicine Hat,
Alberta, shipped from this city Sunday
last, $50 head Of range horses to Med-
cine Hat, Alberta. The horses were all
purchased in Morrow county principally
from Newt Jones. Mike Kenny and Mel
Humphrey. The prices paid for the
horses were $40 for the yeatlings and
800 per head for the grown stock. Mr.
Penland came to Heppner some time
ago and was intending to ship much
sooner, but owing to the car shortage
was held up here waiting for time
when he could load out his stoci,
Owing to change in the schedule in
Canadian tariffs which took effect on
the first of the year in which the duty
on horses was raised IS per head on the
class Of animals that Mr.. Penland was
shipping, he was naturally very anxious
to get his horses through before the
grip of the new law could have effect for
it would mean a clean outlay OF about
$1,000. Ordinary range horses such as
were formerly raised in this county are
fast disappearing, and their places will
be taken with better stock. In fact,
the sooner they are gone the better it is
for the stockmen for poor horse will
eat as much grass as a goo one, conse.
quen'ly the good horse is much more
profitable.
