Cattle on the upper Salmon river
and between that stream and the
Snake river are said to be dying
rapidly for lack of feed and by roll
ling down the steep canyon sides.
Very few of the cattle men have
iced enough to keep their cattle up
and the stock on the range cannot
get through the deep snow to the
grass beneath. Because of the cold
weather the cattle gather in
lunches on the hillsides to &c,
away from the wind and slip on
the icy ground and roll to the bot.
toms Of the canyons. Should the
snow lay on the ground much
longer the loss to the cattlemen in
that country will be very heavy.
The cattle down on Salmon river
west OF this place are also said to
be getting pretty thin from short.
age of feed and considerable loss is
expected as the cattle will be &C
weak when spring opens that they
will hardly be able to stand the
muddy condition Of the range until
dry weather appears. Cottonwood

Rulings on Rates.

A common carrier may establish at a
given point an especially low rate, but it
does not follow that all like traffic NOV
ing through that point must have the
benefit of that rate. This decision of
the interstate commerce commission was
announced by Commissioner Clark yes
terday in the eleven cases of Kansas
City stockmen against the Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas railway and other car
riers. The commission holds that the spe-
cific through rate is the lawful rate,
though lower rate may be made by
some combination.
In the case of the Southwestern Kansas
Farmers and Business Mems League
against the Atchison. Topeka and Santa
Fe Railway Company and other car
riers, the commission decided that the
coal rates from Colorado to Kansas were
unreasonable, and ordered them to be
reduced.
