has again ordered tbe price o f its pro

for pot roast to 28 cents fo r porter

Thirty cants w ill be demanded for tbs
latter cuts in a few days, while aver
age beef w ill coet tbe dealer 10%

The high price o f corn and tbe
city o f cattle are the reaeons assigned
by tbe trust for tbs increase in prices.
A s to why settle should be any scarear
now than at any other time no answer
is forthcoming.
Retail butchers explain that tbs
working people are too poor to buy
beef; teat there ia a lessening in tbe
demand and consequently a raising in
tbe price. I t la pointed out that P a t
ton’s corner in wheat has increased the
demand fo r corn as an article o f human
consumption, and that therefore the
price o f that grain bas so increase!
that it is no longer profitable to raise
corn-fed cattle.
Tbe officers o f the beef trust in tbe

When an expression o f opinion was

over by a Portland real estate firm,
which has already made arrangements
to put 1,000 fam ilies on the tract, and
that the » colonisation w ill be complete

This is probably tbs largest tract o f

I t is said that tbs beads o f many o f
