MacArthur's forces of Amer

Although only a small formation

victory was said to mark an i'm

Oranges to Have
Auburn Siockyard
2400 Stockholders
Are in Enterprise
BY CASEY DAWSON

TO serve the cattle industry OF
the entire Northwest, . new CO.
operative stookyard Is currently
being readied at Auburn.
Incorporated for sioo. 900 under
the name OF Grange Livestock
Marketing Association, Inc. the
venture Is sponsored by the IS, 900
members of the state grange. and
oranges of Idaho and Montana.
Some 400 stockholders are fl
nancing the enterprise.
To Start In March
First operations OF the new
stockyard are slated for late In
March. when commission firms
representing Northwestern packers
viii commence their competitive
buying at the new union yard.
A 12-aore tract on the southern
limits Of Auburn has been obtained
and . cattle shed 900 feet long by
30 feet wide Is already in place.
The plant facilities include wa
ter. sewers, electricity. offices. con-
GREETED pens and shipping accom-
modations for two adjacent rail-
roads. The yards will represent an
investment OF more than $50, 900
when complete.
s0-Carload Capacity
Ground floor OF the principal
building is fitted with pens to ac-
commodate so carloads OF cattle;
second floor of the same structure
will be used for storage of hay and
milled feed. Additional pens are
being built outdoors.
As business warrants, according
to spokesmen, the stock facilities
can be expanded inasmuch a. am
pie space is provided by the land
already obtained.
The cooperative venture Is to
be the only such institution nearer
than Spokane on the east and Port
land on the south.
Estimate of the amount of stock
business anticipated by the new
yard may be estimated from the
fact that the dozen major packing
concerns in this immediate vicinity
during the last year bought and
processed $4,000 cattle. $4,000
hogs and 1os. 900 sheep.
Over Wide Area
To obtain that livestock, buyers
were obliged to visit markets scat
tered throughout the four North
western states. Approximately
half the purchases were made at
the private stockyard in Seattle
by Frye & Co., primarily
to serve its own packing plant.

the state grange at Seattle, Ii
