Prices Seem Certain

mouth disease shall not gain entrance
here.
As the state has been a great i'm
porter, this cannot but result in high
er prices, and the following article
from Los Angeles newspaper will
be read with interest:
Los Angeles and California as q
whole may be paying considerably
higher prices for poultry and meat
in the near future if the law that has
just gone into effect remains opera
tive for any length of time.
THE bill was an emergency meas
ure, passed in hurry to prevent the
shipment of cattle and poultry from
any eastern points, Mexico or Can
ada. State Veterinarian King Of Sac
ramento declared the law absolutely
essential 70 keep the dreadful foot and
month disease from finding its way
here.
a. addition to keeping out all cat
tie, sheep. pigs and poultry, it forbids
the introduction of anti-cholera hog
serum or virus, which is declared u
have been an agent in the spread of
the. disease. As a result of the law
California must be largely dependent
on its own meat resources.
"On affidavit of shipper, railroad
company and receiver that the cattle
are for immediate slaughter on ar
rival here, it is possible to obtain some
stock from Arizona, Nevada, Texas,
Utah, Oregon, New Mexico, Idaho and
Colorado. The embargo applies to al
other states and foreign countries, and
the only possible way to bring in cat
tie from these places is through spe-
board, which will restrict such ship
ments LARGELY to absolutely essential
cattle for breeding purposes.
According to General Manager
Nrurer Of the Pacific Coast Beef and
Provision Company, the danger of
high prices is not immediate, but is
real in the future.
3 "'The new law will cut off the sun
ply of feeders, or lean and uncondj-
toned cattle. that are shipped to Cali
fornia for fattening and which form
the chief basis of the local supply Of
fresh meat he said. Undoubtedly
as soon as the disease which has raw
aged the East has been wiped out. or
a sure preventive and cure have hecn
established, the law will be repealed.
This is another opportunity for the
California farmer to increase home
production of cattle and stock par
ticularly with the very plentiful and
almost overabundant supply Of hay
available

HAD TO ADMIT "DRAwBAcKs''
Doubtful, However, II Auctioneer's
"candor" lnterfered With the
Sale Of the Estate.

A certain London auctiOneer, in ad-
dition to fine personal appearance
and splendid evolutionary talents. is
possessed of considerable culture and
knowledge of human nature
At book sale this gentleman would
read with exquisite taste passages
from the books he vas selling. with
brief biographies and criticisms OF
their authors. reciting hexameters
from Greek and Roman classics. and
rendering passages from humorous
writer's with a tone and air so lu.
dicrous as to set the room in a roar
OF laughter. Thus he often won higher
prices for books than those got at the
shops.
An amusing example of his clever.
ness in extolling an estate is the Ian.
guage with which he once closed a
highly.colored description of the prop.
erty he was selling. For few mo.
ments he paused. and then said:
"And now. gentlemen, having given
a truthful description of this magnifl.
cent estate, candor compels me to ad.
init that 1t has two drawbacks-the lit.
ter Of the rose leaves and the noise OF
the nightingales."
