American Navy's Riit Meat Order
The 1'nited SI ;'.r navy department
hns Just ordered 1,175.000 pounds of
canned meats from the Sclnvnrzschiid
& Sulzberger company. This Is the
largest single contract for meat ever
made by the government In time of
peace. It will require the slaughter
of 28,000 bead of cattle and 6000 hogs
to fill the order; the meat, when
packed and ready for delivery will
amount to about 45 carloads.
S HL FEED ST PHOT
That Pilot Rock Is to become a
feeding ground and stock buying cen
ter for the Armour Packing company
Is now almost an assured fact. Op
tions on two or three tracts of ground
adjacent to the town of Pilot Rock
have been secured by the big pack
ing company and this week the deal
will be finally closed for a feeding
ground, It Is believed.
For several months the Armour
company has been searching eastern
Oregon over for a suitable location
for a big feed yard and stock-buying
center and finally Pilot Rock, In the
heart of the Umatilla county livestock
belt, has been selected and If the. deal
goes through, one of the greatest
stock feeding and huylng Industries in
Oregon will be built there.
It Is said the company will buy at
least 40 acres for feeding pens and
Bheds, and will then make a center fori
winter feeding, using the available
hay and barley of the Pilot Rock dis
trict for fattening thousands of bead
of cattle and sheep.
Owing to the shipping facilities ami
to the Immense quantities of hay and
barley produced there and also to the
great cattle and sheep raising districts
adjacent, Pilot Rock has been looked
upon by the company as the best lo
cation In eastern Oregon for a feed
ing ground and stock-buying center.
The people of Pilot Rock are Justly
proud of the fact that their thriving
town has ben selected as the site for
such an Important Industry and every
thing will be done to close the deal for
a good tract of land near the city for
the purposes of the packing com
pany. It will perhaps be known def
initely this week If the company se
cures the land needed for the new Industry.
