BEEF CATTLE SUPPLY is
SHORT AROUND DAYTON

DAYTON, Wash, Feb 4.-(Spec-
ial)-COlunbia cOunty's supply of
beef cattle is practiC ally exhausted.
According to local shippers and stock
men, it is almost impossible to buy a
range steer at any figure. Cattle now
being slaughtered to supply local de-
mands are fed cattle. The shortage
is explained by the fact that in 1907
and 1908 when cattle prices commence
ed to strengthen, hundreds of beeves
were shipped to Spokane and the
coast markets, nearly depicting the
TukanOn and Blue mountain ranges.
Not a beef has been shipped from
Dayton or other points in this county
for months, despite an active demand
at top prices.
Market proprietors are now facing
the problem of shipping beef cattle
into Dayton. This is the first time
since this part Of the country was
first settled that such a step has been
necessitated. Figures of leading
stockmen place the total number of
range cattle in the county at less than
200, and these are being reserved for
the purpose of restocking the ranges.
Efforts are being made to recuperate
the cattle raising industry. At one
time it was one of the most profitable
sources of revenue to the Dayton
country.

NEW YORK. Feb. Speculative
today as an after effect of the violent

Ct There was no resumption of the
heavy liquidation which broke the
market yesterday and this left the
way open to some recovery. The bear
interest left uncovered after such
spasm as occurred this week insures
u potential demand for stocks suffi-
cient to carry prices away from the

The rapidity and the extent of the
decline which has occurred point to
a elimination of an ordinary market

proved diSconcerting to all but the
most highly speculative element in the
market and the recovery eliminated
some of the substantial buying which
was perceived at the lower prices.
The bears rallied their force when any
signs of that sort appeared and made
fresh attacks. These attacks were
most effective in the copper group
and especially American Smelling. The
position of the proposed merger as well
as the recent statement of annual
earnings of the company were assigned

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.--For the sec
ond time in two years the medical
supply department Of the United
States army was burned out of its
headquarters today, this time with a
loss estimated at $1,000000 There
was no loss of life, but frequent eX-
blossoms from 1000 cases of gasoline
1000 cases Of benzine, 500 gallons OF
turpentine and large quantities OF al
eohol made the work of the firemen
highly perilous.
Major Edwin p. Wolfe, in command
was badly singed in one explosion
and but for the timely arrival of a
hook and ladder company, he would
have been burned to death.
A consignment of medical supplies
to the Panama canal zone, valued al
$4,000, packed and ready for ship
ment, was destroyed. The only other
similar supply depot is at st. Louis
and it is feared there will be a short

sure water service worked sad havoc
in adjacent property. One stream
momentarily detected, tore through a
dwelling house window and almost
drowned Mrs. Mary Kass.
When the firemen below saw Major
Wolfe at a window, his escape was
being cut off. They ran up an extern
sion ladder. He and his 80 odd en-
ployes and assistants were all gotten
saftly to the street.
