BIGHT PAGES. DAILY EAST OREGONIAN, PENDLETON, OREGON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1009. FAGS SEYKN. WESTERN BEEF FINDS ABE IN SOUNDER CONDITION THAN OTHERS Present Attractive Appearance on Foot awl Wlicn Dressed Settling of West Reduces Amount of Range National Rorest Ranges KliouIJ be Vlillzcd. Western beef Is coming Into Its owi. Not over a decade ago eastern bsyers purchased range-bred steers oaljr when they were unable to fill their feed pens from other sources, and usually offered a much lower price for this class of stock than they ware willing to pay for that secured from other places. Experience has taught these buy- ers, however, that western range-bred steers are usually in the very best of health. They have a splendid frame upon which to build, are well muscled and boned, and being accustomed to the rigors of the western climate, continue to put on flesh in the eastern feed pens when cattle from other sec tions, being fed under identical con ditlons, are losing flesh on account of the inclement weather conditions. This western steer only demands that he be given plenty of good fresh water and sufficient feed so that he may ' icver be hungry and ho will always give a good account of himself and re. turn many dollars in profits to the feeder when he Is sold for the block In the spring. Are Ready Sellers. These steers shed early under fa vorable conditions, and when they have reached the stockyards they . show an exterior finish that other cattle, lacking the same health and ruggedneBS, fall to show. This makes the western steers ready sellers on the market, and after they have been butchered the percentage of the weight of the dressed carcass over that of other steers under the same conditions Is so perceptible as to Im mediately attract the attention of those keen, far-sighted men who handle the yard end of the business. Range Reduced. The settlement of the -West is rap Idly reduefng the amount of avail able range and ' Is" forcing the cattle to go higher and higher Into the hills In search of forage. This Is greatly Increasing the Importance of freely utilizing the ranges within the Na tlonnl Forests, and every endeavor Is beng made by the Forest Service to open hitherto inaccessible ranges by the construction of trails and bridges, and unused arid ranges by the de velopment of water. In these higher elevations the grass Is usually much finer in quality and more nutritious, while the climate is much more rig orous; both of which conditions re sult In the animals being In better health and having nnre solid flesh when placed on the feeder market In the fall. This fall has seen large numbers of the range-bred steers, most of which come from ranges within National Forests, topping the feeder markets at all joints where feeder steers are sold. Holding Siots Eioliislvcly. So great has become the demand for cattle of the quality mentioned that hundreds of stockmen through out the West are selling their bunches of stock cattle and are beginning to handle steers exclusively. On the old ranges where a few years ago one was accustomed to see large herds 'of cows and calves, you will find today equally large bunches made up en tirely of steers, some of which may perhaps come from Old Mexico, some from Texas, while Arizona and New Mexico usually furnish their quota. These steers are brought into these western ranges at from eighteen months to two years old.' They become acclimated the first year, while In the second and third years they become ufficlently mature so that they may be taken to market. The demand for cattle of this kind Is greater than the supply, and as In II other cases where the demand Is greater than the supply the price re ceived on sale must constantly In crease. That this is true of the steer business, one can easily ascertain through conversation with any one of the western stockmen who make this a business. They will tell you that they have made more money In "the last two or three years In handling steers than they made in ten years In handling strictly stock cattle.

That he expects to stick with James J. Jeffries for at least 12 rounds In the battle for the championship of the world July . 4, Jack Johnson has made known to his friends. "Anyone that says we are going to fake the fight on account of the mov ing pictures Is on the wrong lay; that's all," wus the way the colored champion introduced the subject. "Everybody I have met asked me whether or not the fight will drag out 10 or 12 rounds on account of the pictures. Well, the fight will last that long, but not because It has been fix ed or will be fixod that way. "I am not foolish enough to think that I can knock out Jeffries in the first round or two. I am equally pos itive that he can't do It to me, and that is why I say that the fight won't be over inside 12 rounds." HANKERS RAISED OVER MILLION IN SINGLE DAY Now York.

A cable dispatch from London says James J. Corbett kas sailed for home. He is returning to the United States to train Jim Jef fries for his fight with Jack John son. Speaking of the fight, Corbett said: "If Jeffries can get back to the form he showed when he beat me, he will make short work of Johnson, who, In my opinion, Is lucky to hold the championship. He struck a time when there were no really big men. I am certain he would never have been champion If he had been called upon to meet such fighters as John L. Sullivan, Slavln, Joe Goddard or Fltzsimmons." v ' Broken lenses replaced In a few minutes at Hanscom's Jewel store. We grind any lense. IN POUND.
