VIEW OF CATTLEMEN
Texas Ranch Owners Say the
Farmers Are to Blame
For the Boycott.
ASSIGN THEIR REASONS

San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 27.-Local
cattlemen are of the opinion that the
present high price of beef is largely
due to a considerable increase in the
price of feedstuffs and to a gradual
decline in the stock industry. Ike
T. Pryor, up to few months ago
president of the Texas Cattle Raisers
association, when interviewed on the
question said:
There are several conditions that
have led up to the present prices.
Taking all of them into consideration
it would appear to me that the cost
of meat is normal. In the first place
the consumer is no longer content
with low, or even average grades OF
meat. What he wants is the best. In
view of the fact that the choice cuts
on a beef, for instance, are few, this
alone would have tendency to force
Up the price. Feeding steers has be-
come a very expensive undertaking
during recent years. Formerly one OF
them could be put in fine condition
| for the market for about $40 and
sometimes even So, today it costs
about $25 to fatten the animal up.
| The ranges recently have been poor
and the price of corn has been con-
stantly going up.
Another factor entering strongly in
| to the question is the Capitalization
of the people of this country in the
cities and the resulting abandonment
Of farms For some time past every
body has been rushing into the factory
and farming has been neglected. The
| price for cattle on the ranch has not
| advanced appreciably, though I am not
now prepared to say definitely what
| it's relation to the present prices OF
| beef are. According to all indications
it is the price of feed that is respon-
sible for the conditions that have led
to the meat boycott in the North and
East
]. T. Gibbons. manager OF the HOus-
ton Packing company, expressed SINH
lar opinions. He assigned the scarcity
of hogs as one of the causes of the
high price Of meat The hog market,
he said. had been SO poor for some
time that Chicago packers had been
obliged to pay 9 cents and over per
live pound. Mr.. Gibbons's attitude to-
wards the boycott was one OF indif'
ference. He said:

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan 27.-After
being sentenced to twenty years in
San Quentin prison for highway rob-
berry, Frederick Hoffman, who now
has completed two years of his long
sentence, has perfected a machine
which promises to effectual1y prevent
the raising and forging of checks and
false identifications.
Not content with the routine of pri-
son life, the man whose inventive gen.
Jus has astounded the world, put in
every hour in bordering over plans
for his machine. Every night when
supper had been served and the con-
victs returned to their cells to pass a
few hours as suited their tastes, Hoff-
man labored on his anti-forgery ma
chine.
A fellow convict. skilled in wood
turning and carving, aided Hoffman,
and a wooden model finally was con.
structed. Crude as it was, every per-
son who saw the model pronounced
It one of the most wonderful inven.
tions of the age. Permission easily
was obtained from Warden Hoyle to
apply for a patent, and by means OF
outside capital a full-sized machine
was constructed. Hoffman hopes, and
many believe he will be successful
to obtain his pardon through the in
vention and to make a fortune after
his release.
