Prominent Owner Tells Why
Pacific Coast Meat Can
v not Supply Orient.
niiiam Rea Jr of Rea Broa Bt
Paul. Minnesota, one of the largest
: sheepmen In the TJnited State, la reg
- ttiWI at the Portland hotel.
"Within the pact month or so our firm
feaa bought aomething like lftu.uou neaa
,.' cf sheep in this state." Mr. Re said
'"" this morning. "This week we ship
' about J8.000 from eastern Oregon to our
ranges in Montana, moony in"" "rl'f.
: V-fn B run about 200.000
hrA In Montana all the time, buying
them here in Oregon, running them on
the northern ranges and selling mostly
in Chicago. The heavies,' ss we call
the very best of the stock, are shipped
direct to England, usually from New
York. Boston tr Baltimore. So a lamb
born onthe banks of the Columbia may.
If he is a very good little lamb, spend
. ; his summers in Montana feasting on the
r green grass In summer, and living on
native hay4 well sheltered from the
deep snows In winter; then take a trip
to Chicago, then to New York, and
finally pans In his checks on the banks
of the Thames in old England. That is.
If the coyotes don't annex him, or a bob
cat doesn't absorb hlra; for tha Interior
" of wild animals is one of the best mut
" ton markets that Oregon has. Only it
Is not very profitable, except for the
-coyote. But the bounty is doing rood
work toward keeping these sneaking
thieves of tha range within bounds. The
coyote alone is the most expensive pet
v Oregon has. - He costs this state alone
at least $1,000,006 a year some say 2,
'00,000.;, 1 ? .
Wool In Xess Demand.
"Sheep this year are cheaper by about
CO cents a head than they have been
for several years. There is just as good
a demand for mutton as ever, but wool
Is lower, and there is not so much ready
rash in sight to nut into live mutton as
last year. The lower, price la due to
. this lack of ready money mora than to
anything else. s r
. There was some talk last year of mut
ton being sold in this market from Aus
tralia, but that is absurd. We are sell-!
ing sheep in London in direct competi
tion with Australian mutton, and that
- Is after we have had to ship the sheep
(.000 miles by land, and then J. 000 miles
- or more by water. So what chance
would the Australian sheen have against
us here in our home market, where we
do not have to pay MOO miles of freight
.-. and where . the South , Sea woolback
- would have to pay duty under our tar
iff laws? There Is nothing in such a
report. It is financially impossible.
' ' Oriental Karkst Closed,
' T!n the markets of Asia, however, we
cannot compete with Australia. J. J.
Hill fitted ut his big boats to carry
frozen meat to China and Japan, but
eeuld riot - meet the prices coming out
of the South- Seas. It Is too far to ship
on the hoof from here, and the frosen
if" : Jjf
meat proposition does not meet with a
kindly reception In slow-going Asia.
China has ways of bar own that It is
almost impossible to change and the
Chinaman likes to do his own killing.
Odd as it may seem, Oregon's foreign
v market - ts across the Atlantic, not
across the Pacific. This whole ques
' tlon of oriental msrkets is something
ft be studied, long and carefully before
" one Jumps to any conclusions about it.
This applies to many other lines besides
' meat t have recently made a long
- trip over there to else up the situa-
- tion. Hut mat is another story;
-. fiheep is onlv a small part of it,. On the
p whole, -the sheep buaness was never In
a. better shape than today, at least for
. those with resources to tide over this
temporary slump. ' e

New York. May 22. Small stock mm.
biers in. Wall street are In despair today
over the news that Governor Hughes
has signed the Caasidy antl-bucketshop
bill, which will close hundreds of places
over the state where margin gambling
baa . provided large Incomes for tha
manipulators for many years. The blt
tr crjr In the "street" la that "It s the
little fellow that always gets stung",
The bucketshop men point out that
the legislature passed blandly over
Governor Hughes recommendation for
a complete Investigation of all stock
gambling in Wall street particularly in
ma iwft vjLuuAuge. AAusi oi me oucket

the greater part of the business was
conducted in uurralo. where at leaat a
dosen large shops will have to go out of
business at once or undertake a danger
ous and expensive legal battle to test
the constitutionality of the law.
The new law Is unique in its manner
of passage. Senator Caasidy, Its author,
voted . against the Hughes anti-racetrack
gambling bill and It 'Is known that
hla purpose- in Introducing tha antl-
cucicetsncp dui was to eonruse and pre

bill was passed and now becomes a law
