Judge Baker Barnes, of the Thomp-
sin neighborhood. in speaking about
the 20 head of 1850 10. steers that he
sold in st. Louis last week at $12.S5.
tells the Centralia Courier that he
purchased them last fall and fed
since December 18th. Most Of the corn
fed was of his own raising and the
remainder purchased at so cents
bushel. On this basis the Judge
said his cattle made money but that
it is certainly an expensive PROPOSE
ton to feed cattle now as 60 head OF
steers in his lot eat up $500 every
day. With corn now at $3.50 it is
even worse from the feeders stand
point and the high cattle prices are
not really so high after all.

stated that $3.50 had been raised in
Jarbidge to improve the Crippen

a short time. Chairman o. e. Carlson
of the board of county commissioners
said that the work of fixing the road
at Devil creek had already been let
to H. p. Craig. who would soon get at
it. The letter from Jarbidge said that
the supply of flour was low and that
all the salt, milk and a dozen other
articles had been consumed, but added
that a dozen wagons were on the way
