SHEEPMEN COMPLAIN
OF RAILROAD SERVICE

Salt Lake, Dec. 1S-That the blum
ders or carelessness Of the railroads
Of the country cost the shcepmen Of
the west thousands OF dollars loss an
nually IL the allegation OF the sheep
owners Of the state who use the trains
for the transportation OF the sheep
from one grazing country to another.
and from the grazing land to the cast
ern markets. The proposition, 1t Is
said, Will find its way into the discus
sion OF the National Wool GrowerB'
association In Ogden next month.
An incident which Is an example Of
what the sheepmen complain of oc-
CURED. 1t is said. a short time ago
when a local sbeepman sent several
cars Of sheep 10 Kansas City. The
market at that time was strong and
promised to continue SO. The railroad
delayed the shipment In transit and
by mistake sent the sheep to Council
Bluffs and finally to Chicago. They
were taken from there to Kansas City,
arriving about two weeks later.
The market price of the animals
had dropped and the sheepman lost
more than $1,000 by the delay.
Recently 1t is related a flock Of
sheep was shipped from Wanship to
alt Lake City. 1t required four days
TO cover the distance which should
have required lees than one day. The
sheep were kept on sidetracl1s and
much expense was incurred IN unload
Ing and feeding the sheep every thir-
ty'six hours along the road
The roads, II Is stated. often leave
the sheep on sidetracks waiting for
late trains until the losses run into
the hundreds Of dollars to the sheep
owners.
In conjunction with the sheepmens S
demands for better transportation IA
cilities, the Humane society OF the
United States has taken the matter
up and will give support TO the plans
for getting better railroad service for
the animals, Better conditions arc eX-
pected to result.
