Alba News Notes.

Alba, Sept. 4.-Weather for the
past week has been cloudy and rainy
and many ranchers were caught with
large quantity of hay down. Some
of it is in the swath, some in the
windrow, and some in the shock, but
all of it is soaking wet from the hard
rain that came Sunday. If the rain
does not stop there will be much hay
spoiled. .',"
At the present time there is nothing
doing; all are waiting for the weather
to settle.
The beef market is good here this
fall, and after harvest there will be
large crop of beef ready for the
market.
]. S. Mcleod and family, who have
spent the summer on the Dixie ranch
have returned home to Pendleton.
Mrs. H. T. Connell has taken a trip
to Pendleton by stage.
This so far has been the coolest
summer ever known in the Blue
mountains. All have left the springs
earlier than usual on account of cool
weather.
The hucklebeffy Season is about
over. The crop was good this year,
and many pleasant parties were or

Eatal Cattle Disease.

Ranchmen in this vicinity are feel
ing some apprehension over the In
roads of a mysterious disease which
death among their cattle herds, says
a Landers, Wyo., letter. One of the
principal ranchers to suffer is I. N.
Bard of Little Bear, who says that
the disease generally attacks first one
eye, then both, the eyeball sometimes
bursting. The loss is estimated by
Mr.. Bard at about five per cent and
as the disease is evidently contagious
some alarm is felt. The matter will
be called to the attention of the state
veterinarian for advice as to the cure
of the disease and the prevention OF
further spread.

Sale of Famons sheeb Ranch.

The sale of the Sagebrush Sheep
compans's lands in the Judith cuun-
try, Mont, has been consummated,
says the Rocky Mountain Husband
man of Great Falls. The Great
Northern Railroad company took an
option on the $4,000 acres OF land
owned by the company for $40 an
acre, and has taken the property.
The Great Northern wants the land
for the coal that underlays it. This
is one of the old time sheep ranches
of the state, and has long had a repu-
tation of being the best winter ranch
in all Montana. 1t is owned princi-
pally by L. H. Hamilton of this city,
and Rev. Jacob Mills of Bozeman.
The property has yielded these gen.
tlemen handsome competency, and
still they have 10000 sheep to dispose
of. 1t is proposed by the company to
retire from business.

ditional profit of $35.S30 a month be-
ing made on this 5000 tons of coal,
or total of $429,96O a year, after the
legitimate profit of 40 cents a ton
has been paid to the mine operator.
This is only one instance of the
profits that are being made from the
high prices that are being paid for
coal in Seattle. According to the
statement of Mr.. Haswell the demand
has been heavy all summer and still
continues, Forewarned by the short
age Of last winter, people have been
filling their bins since last May and
If the prices that are now asked can
be taken as evidence, mine operators
and sales agents are taking advantage
of the unusually heavy demand to in
crease profits.
Since the Announcement was made
several weeks ago that coal would be

have refused to take orders for coal,
except for September delivery. thus
taking advantage of the increase In
prices before the increase really be-
came effective.

ENORMOUS PROFITS ON IFUEL iCOAL

Who is making the profits on coal?
says the Seattle News.
Taking the best figures obtainable
on the cost of production, profits of
mine operators, cost of transportation
and all the other incidental expenses
necessary to the trade and deducting
the same from the prices now being
asked for coal in Seattle an enormous
profit remains to be accounted for
without any legitimate item to which
it can be charged.
According to the last reports of the
state inspector of coal mines the av-
erage cost of production of coal min
ed in the state of Washington is 50
per ton. This Is the actual cost to
the mine operator and includes every
possible item that may be figured in
cost of production, In great many
eases the cost of production Is con-
siderably less than the figure named,
but the inspector places 81 as an av-
erage on domestic coal,
Taking the Carbon Hill Coal COM
pany for an example, as the cost of
production at this mine is figured at
a triflo less than the average, and the
freight rate is about the highest of
any coal that is now shipped to the
| seattle market, some startling deduc-
| tions may be drawn.
All of the coal of this company that
is sold on the local market is handled
by Haswell & company under con-
tract which the local company has
held for several years. According to
the statement of Mr.. Haswell, the
head of the company, only about g.
900 tons a month of the output OF
this mine is sold in Seattle. At the
yards of Haswell & company this coal
is quoted at 81 a ton.
Placing the cost of production at
| SO ton, which, according to the re-
port of the mining inspector, Is con-
servative estimate, loaded on cars and
ready for shipment, allowing IS cents
a ton for cost of transportation and
s cents a ton for switching charges
makes a total first cost of $2.73
ton laid down in Seattle. The differ
ence between this cost and the SELL
ing price Of 81 ton leaves s4'27
ton profit to be accounted for between
the mine operators and the sales
company, or total profit of s3S,4SC
| a month.
When It is considered that the o.
| 900 tons sold by this company is
merely a small drop in the bucket OF
the coal consumed for domestic pur-
poses in Seattle, and only small pro-
| portion Of the output of the Carbon
Hill company's mine. some idea OF
the profits on domestic coal sold in
Seattle at the prevailing prices may
be obtained.
According to. the statements OF
mine owners profit Of 40 cents a
ton is good profit for the operation
of a coal mine. Placing the profit OF
the Carbon Hill company on this ba-
sis the mine is making on this con-
tract alone a profit Of $1,000 month
or $4,000 a year.
