August Schroeder sold a carload of
fine steers Monday to Mr. Larson, buy
er for Frye & Co., of Seattle and the
cattle were shipped to the coast on
Tuesday mornings train. The ship
ment consisted of 22 head of two-year-
old steers and two three -year-o lds. The
cattle were by long odds the best
bunch shipped from the prairie in many
days and the nice price of Sc. 20 a hum
dred pounds was received for them
This price may seem a trifle high to
other stockmen who have been getting
from five to six cents a pound for
their cattle but 1t only goes to show
that when they Lave he right kind of
stuff they can command a price and
get 1t. 1t does not stand to reason
that well bred cattle properly fattened
should bring no more than ordinary
stuff and the sooner the stockmen real
lie this fact and produce high grade
cattle and, put them on the market in
proper condition the sooner will they
reap the reward in better prices. And
the buyers will be glad to pay the
price whenever this time arrives.
