BEEF FAMINE
ON THE SOUND
Unprecedented Shortage Is
Because of Dearth In the
Entire Northwest.
PRESAGED BY SHORTAGE IN t
THIS COUNTY WEEKS AGO.
Situation to Be Relieved by the Im
portation of Cattle From Texas
Most Remarkable Cattle Shortage
in the History of the Coast.
Tacoma, Wash., May 14, Tacoma
was on the verge of a meat famine
yesterday morning, and that one was
not experienced was due to tho Paci
fic Cold Storage Company, which
came to tho rescue of tho wholesale
markets of the city. As a matter of
tact, the concern just mentioned Is
the only concern in the city having on
hand a supply of meat or cattle. The
meat the company Is willing to dis
pose of. The cattle they will not sell,
for the animals were bought some
time ago for the Alaskan trade, and
are to be sent to Nome on the first
vessels to leave for the North.
Both tho Frye-Bruhn Company and
the Pacific Meat Company have cat
tle coming here from Texas, and It Is
hoped that somo of this stock will
reach here by tomorrow at the least.
Otherwise there will be another scarc
ity of beef, for by that time the sup
plies that are now held by the cold
storage company will have been dis
posed of, and then there is no way
to turn for relief. Beef cattle are
scarce in the state of Washington,
and have been for some time. In
speaking of the matter a representa
tive of the cold storage company
said:
"We have the only beef cattle In
the state of Washington, and I am
sorry to say that we cannot sell them.
We bought up our herd during the
winter months, when cattle were
plentiful, and we picked the kind of
beef tve wanted to ship to Alaska. At
Toppenlsh we have a herd of 270 head
of magnificent steers that wo could
leadliy dispose of to butchers at fan
cy prices, but we would find great
difficulty in getting others to take
their places. We must have the ani
mals to ship North on May 2fi, to fill
our government contracts."
The scarcity of cattle was felt here
some time ago, and It Is not long
since beef was advanced a cent a
pound. It Is not unlikely that there
will be another rise In prlcea should
the scarcity continue.

San Francisco, v..u., May 14. In ac
cordance with program the third and
last day of President Roosevelt's stay
In this vicinity Is given over largely
to a visit across the bay. At 10
o'clock this morning tho president
presided at the ceremonies attending
the dedication of tho naval monument
in Union Square, anil immediately
after tho conclusion of the exercises
he embarked on a special ferry for
Berkeley and Oakland. This after
noon the president Is to bo the guest
of honor at the commencement exer
cises nt the University of California.
This is in response to nn invitation
extended by President Benjamin Ide
Wheeler, for whom Mr. Roosevelt en
tertains a high regard. After the
visit to Berkeley Is concluded there
will be a drive through Oakland and
possibly a brief speech before the
party returns to San Francisco. Hero,
as a gand finale to the presuient's
visit, there will oo an elaborate ban
quet under the auspices of the Union
League Club.
Advocates a Strong Navy.
At the dedication of the Dewey Vic
torian monument this morning, Presi
dent Roosevelt said that In no branch
of our government are tho people so
Interested as In the navy, not merely
the people In the seaport cities, but
citizens everywhere feel a thrill of
emotion at the erection of this monu
ment commemorating tho naval vic
tory of Dewey, which added a new
page to the honorary roll of American
achievements. This dedication would
be a foolish thing if we abandoned
our national policy or building up the
navy. It Is not safe to impoverish
the navy, but it must bo built up in
times of peace. The war at sea was
two-thirds settled In advance by the
victory at Manila because the ship
builders In congress for 15 years be
fore had been preparing for such a
possible struggle. Our fleet wns suc
cessful In 1898 because under both
political parties had been the resolu
tion to build an adequate fleet. It
will bo three years before tho effect
or the present navy appropriation will
be seen. Tho shots that count In
battle aro tho shots that hit, and our
marksman'3hlp is ill right. Ho con
cluded by congratulating tho navy,
officers and men.
