RANCHERS COMPLAIN
OF LOW BEEF PRICES

General complaint is heard among
| the ranchers and stockmen OF east
| ern Nevada over the crisis in the mar
ket for beef. With one of the best
| seasons known in many years for fat
| tening on the range, cattle still be-
! ing sleek and fat from their sum-
| mer's grazing on grass that never
turned dry, a critter can hardly be
| given away and fat one are slow
sale at any price. Never since the
| beef slump came in the spring OF
1920 has the market been so utterly
lifeless.
Ranchers bringing to
town report receiving 8 cents a pound
for them. This is far lower than
last year. Prices quoted then ranged
from IL to 10 cents, but forequar-
tiers were a drug and sold in Ely as
low as z cents.
The tendency Of ranchers under
such circumstances is to peddle their
meat at the houses, which has a
demoralizing effect all around. 1t de.
stroys the market for themselves and
that it does the same for dealers goes
| without saying. Peddling results in
frequent sacrifices of the portions OF
the carcass that sell the slowest, this
having the effect of starting rumor9
that the standard price is that charg-
ed for the leavings of a carcass that
had to be sold or cause the rancheI
to stay over a day or longer under
expense and loss of time. Buyers
never forget these things and do no;
lose the opportunity to use them as
arguments when the rancher comes
back with a new load or another
shows up with meat Tor sale.
Peddling sometimes proves a fine
thing for consumers, mostly isolated
ones, but is ruinous to the theory
that good prices to the ranchers ar
the mainstay of the country.

LEO CANAAN FOUND
IN OAzED CONDITION

Leo Cannan, a Goldfield young
man, who has visited three sisters
in Ely several times three years or
more ago, has been found after be-
ing missing for about a month. He
appeared at the home of a woman
at Wilmington, a few miles south of
Los Angeles, and asked for food. The
woman had read in the Los Angeles
papers of his disappearance and
recognized him by a description of
some false teeth he wears. She said
he was in ar apparently dazed condi-
ton and reported his discovery to
his sister, Mrs. Con Frederichson,
at Redondo Beach.
Canaan had been to Fort Douglas,
Utah, where he sought enlistment in
the army, but was rejected because
of being under weight. He is said to
| have started for Los Angeles with
800 on him. and was given a ride
in a car by another young man who
had been rejected for the same reas-
on. They were last heard from at
Barstow.
Particulars Of what became OF
the other fellow or the 500 have not

that Cannan when found had been
beating his way toward Redondo
Beach.

Irma and Frances, were employed
here about three years ago as sales
ladies for the ] C. Penney Co. Mel

OGDEN SHIPPER MAKES
LOSING ON PEACHES

The Ely district has proved to be
too small a market for a straight car
load of peaches this week, when
Charles Busco shipped in such a cal
from Ogden and attempted to sell its
contents in a hurry and yet make
a profit thereon. Indications are that
the shipper dropped at least 5000 ir
the venture.
Experienced shippers to this mar
ket never send in a straight car of
one variety of fruit. They mix it
and sell to the trade just what it will
stand of each item and then finish
out with other things that it also
will stand. Last year a carload of
straight apples was shipped hither
at the close of the season and the
shipper had to sacrifice them to pay
the freight. The freight en- a car
load of fruit from Ogden to Ely is
about $3.50, or in round numbers
$500, making it amount to so cents
a bushel. The cost of peaches {. o. b.
in Utah fruit regions is approximately
$1.45 a bushel. This includes %
cents for the baskets and an allow
ance for transportation from orchard:
TO cars and loading, which help mus
be paid for. 1t may be slightly mora
than that this year, AS the eastern
market has enhanced the markei
price of Utah fruit. which was no
the case last year, when the f. o. b
cost was $1.45.
Busco came here a couple of week:
ago with a truck shipment of frui
and with fairly good sales r,asone6
it out in his own mind that he coulC
sell a carload at a profit. He iounC
out after arriving that there was
limit to what the market would alb
sorb, and soon his jobbing price il
Ely and McGill dropped from $2.2.
to $1.75. At this end he had to pa.
a license for sales in Ely, amountin,
TO $50, and for a few days paid 81
demurrage on the freight car. There
were various other expenses and i
the possibly broke even on the cost O
the fruit laid down. which is no
likely, he at least lost a couple o
hundred on his expenses in comins
here and attending to the sales ant
distribution. Besides, there ar
rumors that he did not sell it all, bu
finally dumped a lot of the peache
rather than to suffer further losse
when the trade positively baked Of
receiving more.
Every year some new person al
tempts to get rich quickly by shipping
carloads of fruit to such markets a
Ely. Several considerable losing
were made at the Utah mines las
year in the same manner. If it wer
something that were not SO perishabl
it might be worked by mixing TIL
varieties. hut it being the work o
novices it is seldom thought of unit
it is too late to do other than sal
wage the load and get what can b.
secured for it under forced sale con
ditions.

Will Trade Fruit for
White RiUer Potatoes

Potatoes are so scarce in the Cur
ran creek region that some of the
residents will have to secure them
from White river. The crop is a
rear failure and there are said to be
one for sale.
On the other hand, White river
will have something of q surplus o.
potatoes t O exchange with their
neighbors in the valley to the west
of them. Since the early days it has
been the custom of Nevada ranchers
to thus exchange products, and this
year it will be practiced as usual,

short of potatoes trading fruit to

tubers they need to put them owe

WHITE RIVER HAY IS
MOVING TO MARKET

A great deal of hay is being hauled
into Ely by both truck and team
from the White river country. The
most of it is first crop alfalfa with
quite a lot of second.
1t is a long and difficult haul for
hay and the expenses and conditions
of its production are unusual. Upon
sale after storing here it brings the
growers $24 4 ton. They are com.
planning of this price being too low
under the conditions and say it
should be $26. 1t was $24 last win.
ter throughout the long snow block
ade and otherwise, but after the
spring breakup it went to S26 for a
time, the supply coming from rail
way shipping points in northern Ne
vada.
Over in Washoe county the price
of loose hay in the stack has been sci
by the growers at sic, which is vir
tually the same as the White river
price after the cost of baling and
hauling have been deducted. In
Douglas county the price is fixed a
IS.
The tendency OF the time is &c
count upon few purchases by sheep
men for the purpose of feeding theil
tlocks.. In recent years most of the
sheep were grazed on the desert cas-
| and southwest of here, but last win
