Traffic Officials Say That Shippers
' Are to Blame I oV Not Ordering in

Iiaker City, Or., Nov. It. Thousands
of dollars have been lost by Baker
county stockmen during the present aea
e6r Utfa tf gBT1H mm gr-CTrosed- by-dels y
In shipping. Upon whoss shoulders
rests the blame for this shrinkage is
a question which la agitating local ship
ping circles now, th -stockmen claim
ing thst they hav been unable to get
cars when promised by th railroad,
and the oflclals of th latter declaring
that the shippers fall to notify thsm
of their proposed shipments until it Is
JLoo lat to get them cars.
- It is estimated by local shippers that
approximately 1,000 head Of cattle are
shipped out of this city every month
of th shipping seaaon. Th stockman
dnclar that In every Instance they ar
forced to hold up their shipments from
two to 14 days, while awaiting th ar
rival of cars. This delay causes a loss,
they ay, of t!0 a dsy on every 1,000
head, sa they ar forced to feed hay,
coating 110 ' a ton, and shrinkage
amount. to 22 cents a head a day.
If thsir . estimates srs . correct and
th average time they are forced
to wait la flv day on each
shipment, th lo.a haa been' $1,100 a
month, a total of nearly 15,000 loss for
the sesaon. . . . , .
