Replace A new and improved plant will be put in by the Union Meat Company, where tire destroyed the building and practi cahy all of its contents Tuesday night This is the statement made by Presi dent J. F. O'Shea. Destruction of the building and pant threw 150 employes out of work, entail ing much loss in that manner, as the payroll was large. With the other machinery and fixtures was burned the complete canning plant, which had but recently been added to the concern, thisldepartment alone keeping IS men and women busy. The loss there was 818,000. Statement of losses President J. F. O'Shea now estimates the total losses in the big Union Meat Company's fire at from 8 150.000 to $200,000. He says it is impossible to make a closer figure, because much meat may yet be saved f om (he basement. The Pacific Count. The Pacific Coast is coming to its own. Ine talisman that is producing this consummation so devoutly to be wished is the splendid Exposition that is to be held in Portland next year The Coast is jus! beginning to awaken to a realisation of the great opportunity that is teing piesented to it. California usual y alive to its opportunity, is con" sidering the expenditure of a quarter of a million dollars on the Lewis and Clark Eaposition. It now remains for Washington and other states to get in o line in the proper manner. This Expo sition, while held in Portland, is going to ne a tremendous factor in the up building of the Pacific Coast. Theees of the world are being turned toward us, and it behooves every one ot us to do his duty toward his state and toward this Coast. Let us cement the pe pie of this great Western regim into a unified ludy. bent upon the upbuilding ' I of our unparalleled land and the ex ploitation of our marvelous resources I nd advantages. We need people. We nepd nothing else. We have it ail. No ; other people in the world are so fortu-j nate as we. J.et us tell t tie world what j i we have; but lft us go forward in an j unbroktn phalanx to triumph and ai permanent and increasing prosperity. From The Pacific Monthly for January.

Hay choppers. George Vinoent, the well known stockman and all 'round prospeious ranchman, came in from his Butter creek place this week. Mr. Vincent states that Butter creek people are prosperous and all are in ex ceptionally good spirits over the pros pects of the cattle market which is a promin;nt factor in the Butter creek district. In the past two weeks 17 carloads of beef cattle have been shipped to Seat tle markets at prices ranging from $3.45 for steers and $2,50 for cows which is an advance that has caused much good feeling. The above prices when compared with previous conditions are encourag iug, especially when the demand is greater than the supply which is the case in the Butter creek feeding grounds. After the middle of the month and specially along in the latter part of Jan uary the feeders expect to have a larger supply to turn off and feel con fident of a sti 1 better market. Owing to a decided scarcity of beef stock among Western growers, a con dition lias arisen that is encouraging to men who are handling cat le. Mr. Vincent states that an agreement between Seattle and Portland buyers ha been in force for the past three years which has given Portland exclu sive privileges over the Butter creek territory, and these people have been at the mercy of Portland buyers. Owing to a great scarcity in the Okanogan country in Washington, in Idaho and bad shipping prospects in Montana, Seattle buyers have been forced to come to Butter creek. The consequences are that the head buyer of Fiye-Bruhm & Co., the big Seattle dealers, have sent a man direct to Butter creek, which is the direct cause of the present activity. It is estimated that 5000 head of beef cattle will be fed on Butter creek this season. Mr. Vincent is feedine 250 head. Mr. Vincent predicts that the new cutting machines now being introduced on Butter creek will be a great success. The machines cut the hay into pieces all the way from an incli to four inches in lngth, giving the stcck a better chance to get it all. thus saving at least 15 per cent from being tramped anil wasted. When it is considered that Butter creek feeders use thousands of tons each year a saving of 15 per cent is not to be overlooked. The mschine belonirnr in M , , ..... Thompson. Haylor and Stantield is be- ing operated to its fullest capacity and an output of 40 tons per day is being tntned out. The owners of this ma chine have enough cattle to consume t'ie entire output of the mac-Line. T D. Matthews and II. E. P.utholo mevv have purchased new machine i : .t .. it i . - . . ... i wnicn win no put in operation at line i City. Mr. Vincent predicts that in the near future all the Butter creek feeders will usin choppers.
