PLENTY OF HAY AT
TOPPENISH, SAYS
SETH JONES. $40
TON, PRICE ASKED
Stock Must Be Moved from
Idaho County to Feeding
Grounds in Lower Country
Heavy Shows and Early Win
ter Weather Find Shortage
of Feed in River Sections

Thousands of head of range cattle
in the Salmon and Snake river sec
tions of Idaho county must be NOV
ed from the range country to feed
in lower attitudes, because of heavy
SHOWS and severe winter weather
which has prevailed on the rivers for
almost three weeks.
Although temperatures in the Sal
mon river country, as well as on
Camas Prairie, have moderated during
the last week, it is felt that fur
Their severe weather will be experience
ed before spring, and stockmen are ar
ranging to move a large number
of their cattle.
SHORTAGE DUE TO DROUTH
The severe cold spell during the
early part of December, coming who'll
ly unexpected, found many stock
men unprepared to face a long win
ter, and, with shortage of the range
due to the great drouth of last sum
mer, they are obliged to take time
by the forelock and ship their cat
tie to feeding grounds, before fur
Their cold weather sets in.
The already short grass covered by
deep blanket of snow, early in De-
cember, required stockmen to feed
hay. There is far from enough hay
in the river country to last dur
ing tire winter, stockmen point out.
Reduced freight rates for shipment
of livestock from Grangeville to feed
ing grounds in Washington, has been
practically assured by railroad Of
ficials following receipt of a petition
from idaho county stockmen and the
Grangevile Commercial club, asking
for a reduction. II is said that
stoekmen will be obliged to pay
regular freight rate ON cattle from
Grangeville to the feeding grounds,
but rate of one-third fare is
expected to be granted on return ship
ments Stock cattle shipped out will
be returned to Idaho county, while
beef cattle will be shipped from win
ter feed to market.
HAY AT TOPPENISH
Hon. Seth d. Jones, who has just
arrived in Grangeville from Toppenish,
Wn., where many cattle are being
fed, said alfalfa hay may be had in
large quantities at Toppenish, at 500
a ton, and he advises Idaho county
stockmen who may be in need of feed
for their cattle, to communicate
with men at Toppenish. Mr.. Jones
on Tuesday addressed the Lewiston
Commercial club on the cattle situa-
tion.
Nineteen carloads of cattle were
shipped from Grangeville this week to
the lower country.
