LIVE STOCK LOSES
Cold Weather in Salmon River Country
Taking It's Toll

That the stockmen of Salmon river
country win lose thousands of dollars
in valuable live stock should the pres
ent seige of severe weather continue
Tor very long, is the concensus of
opinion We gather from several of the
leading cattle men who profess to be
grealy alarmed over the prolonged cold
SPELL The ground along the Salmon
river Is not only frozen to a great depth
making it impossible for cattle to rustic
on the slopes, but the bunch grass is
submerged by heavy layers of snow
which prevents the cattle from grazing
However, it is not the frozen ground
cattle men dread so much, nor the ice
and snow which puts skies on the cows
hoofsI and sends her into the canyons
depths--dead BEFORE she hits the bot
tom, it is the dire prospect of a "'feed
famine which furnishes the real
bugaboo. There is simply no hay to
be had in the Salmon river country.
Not one stoekman out of dozen puts
up enough hay to feed his herd for a
straight month should emergency de-
mand it. The ground is here alright,
and the cattle men are thrifty enough,
but they imagine it won't be needed.
Messers.. Holt & Rhoads of Pollock,
two of the largest stock owners of This
section frankly admit that had they
not succeeded in buying several hun
dred tons of alfalfa hay from LYDIA
Brothers the present cold snap would
have put them up against it. The
losses sustained by them would doubt
less have threbled the expense of plant
ing and harvesting large hay crop.
The higgins section is practically
without enough feed to last the stock
of that section another ten days. The
sheepmen have fed up every spear of
salable hay and are importing timothy
from Meadows at cost of $25 per ton.
'This BLIZZARD said charley Holt,
" should teach the stockmen valuable
lesQn; it should put them ON their
guard against similar emergency
next year. Another practical brt ed
err remarked to us that the stock men
were rapidly learning that starving
cattle in the winter time is sure to tell
in deeimated weights when the steer is
put on the scales the following fall. ~

PROGRESSIVE RANCHER.

Charley Durham, who resides on a
picturesque little homestead couple of
miles north of White Bird has the dis
tinction in our Judgment of being the
most practical rancher and cattle man
of this entire country. This of course
seems to be saying good Deal, but an
inspection of DR.. Durham s live stock
by critical observer would authenti-
cate our view point. In the first place
everything around Mr. Durham IS ranch
has the appearance of neatness. The
buildings, fences and shrubbery are in
dustriously kept up and farming is
done scientifically. Strangers coming
into White Bird invariably make favor
able comment upon Mr.. Durham IS ele-
CANT farmstead. In connection with
this Charley is an ideal stockman. His
cattle and horses are fat and sleek
both summer and winter and give evil
dence of generous feeding. Nearly all
of Charles cattle and hogs are
thoroughbred stuff, crosses and mon
grels finding small room in Charlie IS
lunches. Last week M Durham sold
a bunch of Poland China hogs to the
city meat market year old with an
average of 1926 pounds per head The
gentleman who brought those hogs re
marked that nothing like them had
ever been produced in Salmon river
country. A visit to Mr.. Dunhams
would be pleasure to any man, and
would convince him beyond doubt that
the Salmon river is the greatest stock
country in the west.

London, May l3.-An interesting dis
cussion on finance after the war was
raised in the House Of Commons to-day
by William A. S. Hewins, Unionist mem
Der for Herford, a representative Of
tie tariff interests. Mr.. Hewins
pointed to the tremendous growth OF
direct. as compared with indirect, taxa
ton and warned the country against
Understanding Germany's economic
strength. He urged that it was an
imperative necessity for the govern
ment to state it's attitude toward the
economic conference in Paris and take
steps in the direction Of trade prefer
ence within the empire and prefer
entail arrangement with the Allies.
J. Austen Chamberlain, Secretary for
India, in replying made a significant
speech which seemed 10 foreshadow
some kind of an economic agreement
among the different parties in the
House. Like Mr.. Hewins, he warned
that il would be unwise to count upon
the rapid economic exhaustion of Ger
many and declared that it would be
much better for Great Britain to build
on her own strength than on Ger
many's weakness.
Great Brtain's tremendous financial
resources as compared with Germany's
were worth remarking, however. added
