as the worlds supply of cattle is at low ebbe and that there will be no considerable relief hntil there is a revival of the cattle raising industry.
 The supply on the farms of the United States has been decreas- ing. But with all the falling off that has been recorded we are far in the lead as a meat export ing and producing nation. The total value of meat entering into international trade is approxi- mately s45O,O0O, ,O00 year and 'one-third of it comes from the United States.
 The total of our exports of meat for the fiscal year ending with this month will be about Sl50,00O,OO0, while the 1912 to- tai for Argentina was s67, 7,000,- 900, for Australia ill 1911, S3i, ,- OOO, O,OOO, for New Zealand, $2l,- 900, ,O0O, for Canada, $l 1000, ,O0O, and for Uruguay, ll,00O,000. Those six countries arc the great meat-exporting nations. It will be noticed that our total exceeds the sum of all the other five. The total number of food animals in the United States is approximate ly l69,OOO,OOO and exceeds by a large margin the number in any other country! While we have been permitting our beef supply to dwindle there has been only slight decreases ill our exports of pork products.
 A study of the situation would indicate that a shortage of sup ply in this country such as will further and seriously curtail our export trade would be felt abroad to such an extent as would be likely to produce increased prices there. If a third of the worlds available supply were to be elim- mated it is plain to see what would happen to the cost of meat from Australia, Argentina, New Zealand and other producing countries. They are nations we would have to depend on, too, to make up our own shortage and they would offer little Opportun- ity for cheap meats to the Amer ican consumer. It therefore be- hOOves us to supply ourselves.

PROTECTS THE BIRDS BUT
 NOT THE FISH.

strong protest against the wan- ton destruction of food fish which is made by fishermen ev- cry year and raps the govern ment for maintaining men to protect useless birds but makes no attempt to protect the valu- able food product of the sea:
 "Forresler island is a small rocky island on the west coast of Dall island and twenty-tiv miles from shore. It is the nat ural feeding ground of herring, king salmon and echoes in great quantities. The herring are after a small bug in the water, the king salmon and echoes are af- ter the herring and the trollers arc after the king salmon. In tho spring and until about July the fish caught there are very small and poor, but after the tenth of July the large fish com- mence to be caught and the small ones all disappear. These later fish are all large and fat and are worth a great deal more to the mild cur4 men than the early catch.
 Now the mild cure men nor the canncries will neither one buy echoes that are caught by the trollers early in the season. They evade the law by claiming that these tirsh are hybrids, but men who have been handling fish for the last fifteen or twenty years all say they are echoes that have not fully matured and are not ready to spawn. These fish, if left alone until after July, would increase in size and hard en up so that they could be used by the canncries, but they are at the present time killed and thrown ovcrbuard in great uuan- titles.
 ''Men who have been trolling on the island this past summer say that ten echoes per day per man for hand trullings is very conservative estimate. The DOW er boats which fish with three lines and cover more territory will easily average forty fish per day. Thus, il is easy tO see that with four hundred hand trollers and fifty power boats working there is an average of six thou sand fish per day wasted. These fish, if sold at the prevailing price for echoes, are worth $500 per day. If these fish were left alone until after the first of July they could De used and would not have to De killed uselessly. If they were allowed to reach the streams and mature they would mater ially increase the salmon run in future years and much good would result.
 ''The United States government keeps a man on the island every summer to protect the birds that have absolutely no value as a food product, but fish that are good to eat and are of great value as food are absolutely uncared for. The mild cure men should be compelled to buy and use these fish or else the island should be closed to trOllers until such a time as the fish were of a size to be of value. It is the opinion of great many men who have trolIed for years that if the is land were clpsed to- them. albe-' gether the fish would have a chance to feed unhIolesttd and would increase in size and could still be caught at places which are not natural feeding grounds. The trollers would thus make as much in the long run and this waste of food product would be

side of his head crushed in and brains
oozing from his temple. Charles B
dition at the Presbyterian hospital as
a result of being dubbed on the head
with shot gun welded by Thomss S
A. Virts. railway restaurant keeper.
The deadly assault took place three
miles up the Cedar river at about day
light yesterday. and followed an alter
cation over boat which Palmer had
borrowed.
At an early hour Palmer and DIR.
Haffa decided to go up river to hunt.
They went north from the Fish cross
ing on the west bank of the Cedar
about three miles up river from Wat
erloo, where they spied snow-coV-
cred skiff lying bottom up on the
bank. Deciding to borrow the craft
they launched it and commenced to
cross the stream, when they were
hailed by Virts. who was accompanied
by b. L. Bowden. Palmer and Haffa
retraced the course and
landed a few feet from where Writ
was standing. According to DR.. Haffa.
Writ acw into towering rage as soon
as they, the borrowers, set foot on the
bank.
This is fine thing to do" grit:cd
Writ as Haffa and Palmer disembarked.
Then grasping the barrel of his shot
gun in both hands the enraged Virts
crashed the butt down and across Pal
mer's left temple.

Of Atlantic Railroad.
Council Bluffs, March 22.-The resale
Of the Atlantic Northern & Southern
railroad here yesterday took an inter-
esting turn after Receiver r. S. Har-
Ian announced that II any of the bid
ders wanted to raise their bids before
the sale was declared closed they
could do SO.
The sale thereupon became an auc-
ding, resulting. as has been the case
in all previous sales, in the Leslie M.
Shaw syndicate being the highest bid
der.
Fifteen bids In all were made for all
or part of the line, but the bids which
will figure in the final action are but
three in number. They are: The Berk-
dale company. by Leslie NJ. Shaw. for
the entire line, s293,SOo: J. c. Peterson.
for the north end Of the railroad. $119.-
600: and Robert Abels, for the south
end, $174.oOO.
Curiously. the sum OF the two single
bids Is the same as that of the Shaw
sydnicate. f. B. Shaw made bid OF
S392,OOO, but accompanied 1t with a
check for only $4,000. The other bids
all had the per cent cash penalty.
about $4,000. accompanying them.
On April the court will pass on the
bids.
