BIG CATTLE DEAL

Cattle, prime beef cattle, have been
one of the staple products Of the
Okanogan country ever since the white
man pushed his presence into this
territory. Within the memory OF
quite a number of us ancient inhabit-
ants cattle constituted about the only
source of income for the residents Of
this north country. The hills and
wales were dotted with the Illuminating
bovine, barbed wire entanglements had
not encrouched upon the public do
main, very, very few of the fertile
acres had ever been multilated by the
edge of the plow, homes were few
and far between, and hence there was
little restriction upon the range. The
few COW men reigned supreme and
even in that early day the beef of
the Okanogan, built up upon the sue
client bunch grass. had won recogni-
| ton in the market and Okanogan
cattle always commanded the highest
going price. Today the Okanogan
beef is still held in high esteem, but
the herds are contracted in size as
compared with those of the old days.
Still much beef is raised every year,
grown upon a superior breed of cattle.
II the beef is no more tOothsome today
than it was score Of years ago, yet
the animal that is marketed carries
more of it and hence is more valu-
able to the man engaged in the in
dustry than in earlier times.
And all this preliminary is called
i forth by the fact that the cattle men
of the Okanogan are now making
| their regular fall clean up, with the
natural consequence that vast sum
county while long string of rare
roast beef on the hoof is slowly oozing
out to the markets of Seattle. The
| latest big sale was consummated Sat-
urday when Jas. A. Jackson, the pio-
neer cattle buyer of the northwest,
swung the deal that brought into his
hands some 900 head of prime cattle.
Mr.. Jackson is buying for the packing
house of Barton & Co., Seattle. The
sellers are the Evans Cattle company,
composed of Stanley Evans of Loom
is, and John w. Graham, Roy Slater
and other Spokane men who deliver
some $50 head, and the Loomis Cattle
company. composed of Geo. H. Ellis,
Jas. e. Forde, Ferris Forde and Dan
England, who make up the residue OF
the purchase. The transaction in
wolves the paying out in the neigh
lborhOOd of $4,000 n Dretty healthy
transaction. The cattle have been
grazing during the summer months
on the National Forest reserve, west
of Loomis, and come in in first-class
condition. The Loomis Cattle COM
pany did not unload all the market
able holdings, but will winter feed
some 10 head for the spring market
