Cars Short in West

Gar shortage IN the northwest,
where there are thousands of cattle
and sheep awaiting shipment, is the
chief worry of the rangemen now.
The crop of sheep to come out of
some sections is largest ever raised,
and there is grave fear among the
owners that many of them will not
be able to ship out. since the roads
are showing ability to deliver only a
portion of the cars ordered. In one
section of the northwest there are
100000 sheep and lambs awaiting
shipment now, and it is doubtful if
half Of them will be shipped during
the next few weeks. The same APP
plies to the cattle-shipping situation.
One of the big Montana shippers
who arrived on the Wednesday mar
ket with train of range steers
stated that about l, 800 cattle rounded
up at his station for shipment to the
Chicago market had to be turned
back onto the range when it was
found that the number of cars allotted
to the shipping point on a certain
date last week fell just seventy short
of the amount ordered
The live stock industry will grant
that some of the roads are doing their
best to get the cars back into the
west, but evidently other lines are
too DESTROYS of carry freight both
ways and are thus not in much of a
hurry to haul the empties back into
the western country.
Thirteen thousand range cattle
were on the market yesterday, largest
receipts for any one day this season,
but there would doubtless have been
u few thousand more had the shippers
been able to get the cars. Sixty
thousand sheep and lambs also az
rived, and it is a certainty that this
run would have been thousands heav-
Ter had there been cars ample to carry
the number the sheepmen were de-
sirous Of marketing.
The sheepmen face some serious
losses now, owing to the shortage of
cars in the west. With them it is a
question Of liquidating the sheep and
lambs in hurry before the first
storms Of winter break over the range
and from present prospects it will re-
quire several weeks more of strenuous
work on the part of the rail managers
in skirmishing for cars to handle the
business which emanates in the range
sheep territory, which the same APP
plies to the range cattle industry.
The closing out of the big cattle
and sheep outfits has simply paved
the way for greater production of
cattle and sheep by the smaller
rangemen, and their great volume of
marketings this year stands as good
evidence OF the growth in production
by the ''little fellows" A lot of
small ranchmen can handle many
more cattle or sheep in the aggregate
than could few Of the "big outfits
OF bygone days, but they must have
the cars when needed. A little more
attention to the range shippers,
Messrs. Railroad Managers, and less
OF the idle boasting of efficiency in
Ill service Eek.

.'There, I've just thrown the hero
over a thousand foot cliff and told the
reader that nothing could prevent the
lad from falling to death on the rocks
below. It is up to you to save the
boy.
Ehe other writer said nothing: but
sat down and wrote furionsIy for an
honr. Then he quietly handed the
manuscript back. glance at the
second chapter showed the funny man
that his friend had completely ignored

"Dan Beard, there is no tonic that

"Ah, but / have such a pleasant sub
