In line with what owner have reported is the assertion of O. K. Shoemaker of Mitchell, who waa in the North Portland yard this week with supplies bt ought in by way of Condon. "There is pot so much cattle on feed in the interior," says Mr. Shoemaker, "because of the fear of stockmen that they would have another hard winter and, therefore, would not have - sufficient hay." Cattlemen say that if there wa a greater uppiy 01 stock than a year ago h extreme price that have recently been in effect would never have been reached.
