Marketing Beef
-- By An: Expert

On January 26 this paper car-
ried a story about the market for
beef and what kind of beef the
market wanted and who was sup-
posed to produce the kind of beef
that would sell. We heard some

local adverse criticism which this
paper did not and does not con-
sider wai justified. It wasa case
of the crities not reading the
article. Since then we have re-
ceived the following letter from
an expert beef man who js not in
this district and’ who is only
interested in trying to get’ the
beef farmers to produce what is
wanted and when it is wanted,
We publish part of the letter for
the benefit of those who are in
the beef business, because we are
interested in their success possi-
bly as much as they are interested
in their own success,

Our correspondent says:

“Your article, ‘Market There,
but Beef Must be Got Ready,’ is
one of the best I have yet seen.
The last paragraph strikes right
at the seat of the trouble with the
range stock business. ©

"'The range cattleman is too apt
to lose sight of the fact that the}:
big operations of his business
take place on the open range,
The ealyes are generally bern
there. The cows are bred there.
The beef makes its biggest, and
usually all of its growth there,
And yet the cattle are turned
loose to graze without supervision.
They overgraze areas of -choice
feed and do not use about nine-
tenths of the range. This results
in a damaged range, a low calf
crop and a heavy joss in growth
in beef.
“Tt is strange that the average
range cattleman expects to reap
a profit when he opens his back
gate in the spring and turns thou-
sands of dollars worth of beef
cattle loose on the open range to
shift for themselves until fall.
IT CAN’T BE DONE.”

Dave Stenstrom Manager

Old timers of New Hazelton
will be greatly pleased to learn
that Dave G. Stenstrom, formerly
with Foley, Welch & Stewart,
and latterly with Pacific Mills,
has been appointed manager of
Pacific Mill with headquarters at
Ocean Falls. Dave was one of
the brightest men with the rail-
way contractors and after he
joined the paper company his
rise was rapid. Fo. several
years he nas been-chief account-
ant of Pacific Mills and had his|
headquarters in Spokane. ‘ Dave
has the. valuable combination of
being brilliant:and‘a plugger. —

Hurricane -- No
Place Like Home

The first of the week Prince
Rupert, along with all the rest
of the Pacific coast, suffered se-
verely from the cold. The ther-

im most places and the cold was
accompanied by a high wind that
penetrated even the toughest
hides as well as every building
in the city. No matter where
one went there was a call for
the plumber to fix up the frozen
Pipes. But besides the incon-
venience’ of busted pipes the
people suffered from the cold
and the only warm spot the
writer found in the city was T,
McClymont’s office, and he was
burning Telkwa coal. - All along
the Skeena river. there was a
very high wind accompanying
the cold so that there was little
pleasure anywhere. The ships
that entered the harbor were
covered with ice, both from the
north and the south,

But the greatest suffering ex-
perienced by the coast people
was when they read about the
drop in temperature from New
Hazelton eastward starting with
20 below and getting down te 50
as you went south and east. . The
coast folk felt very sorry for we
interiorites, but there was great
rejoicing on the part of ‘several
interiorites when it came. time to
get away from the terrible cold
of the coast into areal country
where one can live in comfort
and with pleasure.

of rivalry for honors, and the
evening passed all too quickly.
The yocal offerings of the girls
were well received, while the

have every reason to congratulate
themselves upon. the success of

Rawiey Beecher had gone to no
end of pains to make the hall
attractive and in this he had the
ready assistance of the members
of the Ladies’ Auxiliary; and the
result was most satisfactory.

R. Beecher acted as floor man-
ager for the first half of the
event, and Fred Bishop took over
the duties at that stage. Admir-
able music was provided by Mrs.
Attwood and her orchestra, and
a well-laden refreshment. stall
was presided over by Mrs. Ames-
bury, Mrs. Bishop, Mrs. Macin-
tyre, Mrs. Powers and Mrs, Sher-
wood, with Mrs. R. Braun acting’
as secretary,

Judging of the costumes was
made by Mrs. Hewson, Dr. Bleec
ker and Mr. Halliwell,. the win-
ners being:

Most Prettily-dressed Lady—

Another matter to be taken up
affects nearly every district in the
province. It pertains to bridges
over navigable streams. The con-
struction of needed bridges in
many places has heen held up,
owing to the high cost of includ-
ing draw spans. According to
the present statutes, draw-spans
have to be inciuded in bridging
navigable streams, but many so-
called navigable streams are no
longer navigated, and to comply
with the law it would be neces-
sary to spend tens of thousands
of dollars uselessly.

Bridges over the Skeena River
at Terrace and over the North
Thompson River are planned and
probably will be proceeded with
as soon as the necessary changes
A
marked example of extra expen-

diture in bridge construction is

that of the big railway bridge

over the Fraser River at Prince

George. -There is an expensive

draw span included, but since the
completion of the structure the  —~

bridge has seen no steamers pass.
