Wealthy Indian, at Queets
Was Unfounded

HOQUIAM, Dec. 22-Billy Mason.
the younger, heir-apparent to the
chiefdom of the Quiniault tribe, came
to town yesterday and set at rest
the conflicting reports as to the
death of Charlie Shale when the Sea
Otter was swamped at the mouth of
the Queets river.
Charlie is very much alive" said
the chief, with the rest of the crew.
They got good wetting and scare
when the boat turned some fancy
fip-fops, but that was all.
Charlie has been laughing over
the tales of his death that somebody
started around Clear Water. He is
still on earth. all right, and is pre-
pairing for a big Christmas celebra-
ton at his house"

tana Has Marked Effect on
Shipments.

Miles City.-ACcording to the an
n'lal report of tho state board of
stock commissioners for Montana,
mere was a great falling off in the
shipment OF cattle to outside markets
O me year 1911. as compared with
1910.
In 1911. 2O5.S73 head of cattle were
sent TO Chicago and other markets. A
decrease of 10000 owe expectations OF
1910.
Shipments west. however,, showed
an increase Owe 1910. being 1862 as
against only 1000 for that year. 1t
has been but a few years, since any
stock at all was shipped to the Pacific
coast, but it is expected that the
demand will increase each season,
unul that market will become il de-
cld'd contender with Chicago. which
heretofore has had almost a monop-
OILY OF Montana raised beef.
IN the opinion of the secretary OF
the board. shipments will continue to
grow less each season for three or
four years. when a reimbursement of
conditions will gradually bring the
output to a much greater volume.
Ihe advent OF the hOmeSceker is
the direct cause of the fallin. off in
shipments. as the ranges are being
taken up. SO thai the large herds OF
the carly days are being slowly elimi-
mated but when the small farmers be-
gin to raise stock, the cattle industry
Will become what it is in Iowa. and
other thickly settled western states.
