WHERE is THE BEEF TRUST7

WNENE lS lIlE DLET lHOSl L |!
A little over what seems to be a
short l2.month ago, Western people
were doing considerable language us
ing on the subject Of the beef trust.
We could see, ut that time, total
eclipse OF the beef producing indus
try Of this county. Cattlemen won
dered what they were going to do.
and stringent measures were sug
gested.
Coming on the heels of all this
agitation, came cattle feeding sea
sou, the like Of which has not been
known in Is years, as far as profits to
the feeder are concerned. Was it the
agitation that caused 1t, or did we do
lot of talking for nothing? We
secretly believe that the boiling-Over
rage OF the Western cattleman had
something to do with the good prices
enjoyed for fat cattle, this winter.
We may be wrong Ia this but hot fire
built close to one who is in the way
usually produces the desired results.
Anyway, whether the people have
done something or only think they
have, there is nc hurt In keeping
right on with the trust scorching.

CALIFORNIA RAIsINs

The unprecedented demand for CALI
fornia raisins in the last few months
has resulted in cleaning out all the
supply in this State with the exception
of 1000 tons and these are practically
all in the hands of two firms, the J. K.
Armsby Company and the California
Fruit Gamers Association. A few rails
ins are reported to be in the hands Of
smaller outside packers, but not in any
appreciable quantity.
The rush to buy the Fresno product
has added great profits. The apprecia-
ton in price, taking all sorts and con-
ditions of raisins, is estimated at nearly
100 per cent. A complete cleanup will
be made without question and there
will be no crop to carry over, either in
the hands of the growers or the pack
ers. The business will start next sea-
son under exceptionally favorable cir
cunstances.
deal is reported by which the ]
K Armsby Company has purchased all
the raisin output that was controlled
by the Pacific Coast Seeded Raisin Com
pany.

pushad off from shore, only to discover
