LARGE PROFITS REALIZED !
L . . DURING YEAR: IN LIVESTOCK '
Colfnx, Feb. 1. The year J usl closed
was bad for live stock because of the
low prices, but notwithstanding this
large profits were made either in the
form of margins on larger sales or in
the Increase In the number of head held
over for another season. i
, More than $20,000,000 was realised
during 1903 by the sale of live stock.
hides and wool in the northwest. This
sum exceeds, the proceeds from the
sales in 1902. 'which ,aggregated 'about
$18,000,000. V
From $1 to $1.25 a hundred less was
received by the Inland Empire stock
men for cattle, sheep and hogs than in
1902. The price of cattle ranged from
$3 tto $3.50 a hundred and of sheep
from $2 to $3, while $4 to $5.50 was ob
tained for hogs, the priee for the pack
ers averaging about $4.76.7 'A
, Practically no live stock was shipped
east during 1903, the prices east of the
Rocky mountains being lower than j
those prevailing in the northwest; Tbe
Pacific coast and Alaska, together with
home consumption formed the market,
which consumed nearly all of the Stock
that was slaughtered.' .
About ,12,000 carloads of cattle, 5000
carloads of sheep and 2800 carloads of
hegs were shipped from the Inland Em
pire. Many thousands of carloads of
swlna were imported from the east,
chiefly Ifrom .Ifebraeka, Z Iowa and
Minnesota,
The whole clip is estimated to have
amounted to nearly 30.000,000 pounds,
50 per cent larger than any other year
in 'the history f the northwest.
With all of these shipments there 1
twice as much stock in the northwest
today as there was one year ago. The
state of Washington has probably thre
times as much Mvestock as It had last '

FORAVER EMPLOYE bE GREAT I :
NORTHERN UP FOR STEALING
Seattle, Feb. 1. The case of J. C.
Graves," formerly foreman at Interbay
for the Great Northern, charged with
stealing fifty barrels of cement valued
at $150 from that road In November,
1902, was on trial before Judge Cann
Friday. The case will be continued.
Another information has, been filed
charging Graves with stealing seven
tons of scrap iron, valued at $200, No
vember 1, 1902.
Mr. Graves was arrested about the
same time that , Hermann Remnan,
manager of the Arlington dock and J.
C. Flynn, yard foreman ot me ona-
ern Pacific, were arrested, charged with
stealing a carload of. wheat. f ,-'.';.
Mr. GUman, attorney for the Great
Northern railroad, is advising with the
prosecuting attorney's office 4n hand
ling the case against Graves. (1 ,
The state will attempt to show that
Graves sold Jthe cement to contractors,
ana mat lt.waa w.
street work in this city. To establish
this claim vouchers were put in evi
dence yesterday that'H. Bleekum Bold
147 barrels of cement to the Sparger
Concrete Company, November 29, four
days after the alleged theft was com- '
mltted. Mr. Bleekum failed to state
yesterday from whom he purchased fhe
cement and the state Is endeavoring
to show that fifty barrels of its was ob
tained from Graves. .
. The defense is making a point of the
fact (that other cement from that
owned by the railroad company, was
stored in the sheds at Interbay, and
will deny that Graves sola 50 barrels -or
any. other .amount of cement. The
charge of stealing seven tons of scrap -iron
will be taken up later.
Since the revelations incident to the
arrest of Graves, Relnhart and Flynn,
railroad detectives have been working
