Firemen and spectators had no trouble
finding this fire in a trash pile north of
town on First Street last Sunday, July 29.
The fire was quickly controlled by fire
men.
For the spectators, however, the search
wasn’t as rewarding as they thought it would
he.
Police officers at the scene took the
names and license numbers of everyone
parked near the blaze. No citations were
issued for being there, but anyone who shows
up on lists taken at future fires can expect
to be cited, according to police officers at
the scene.
Black Market B««f Forecast
Owyhee Cattlemen's Asso<
Annual Summer Meeting In Silver City
Silver City. Idaho - "Due to
government
Interference
price ceilings and other res
trictions, American consumers
are facing "black market" beef
for the first time since World
War 11. It has recently come
to our attention that some meat
wholesalers are resorting to
'under-the-table' deals in beef
purchasing. This has come
about due to a
tremendous
beef shortage in the Northwest
and throughout the nation,** so
stated the Executive Vice-
President of the Oregon Cattle
men's Association, Donald Os-
tensoe. He was speaking to Idaho
business leaders and cattlemen
at the annual summer meeting
of the
Owyhee Cattlemen's
Association, Saturday noon. Sil
ver City, Idaho (July 28. 1973).
Oslense* continued, "Consu
mers
in the Northwest and
throughout the nation should be
planning on beefless meals in
the immediate future, because
in a week or ten days there
will probably not be any beef
at the retail markets. The only
way this situation could pos
sibly be helped is for 'he Cost
of Living Council to remove
price ceilings on beef imme
diately, rather than to continue
them until September 12, as
previously announced. Beef is
the only food commodity which
the Administration andCLC has
singled out for price ce'lmgs.
This is a disgrace to cattle
feeders and producers through
out the nation. It Is quite ap
parent that the beef industry
has become the ‘whlppi'-g boy'
of the administration ana the
CLC.”
"Last Thursday beef indus
try leaders, representatives of
major
packing houses and
retailers, met with the Cost of
Living Council and represen
tatives of the Nixon’s Adminis
tration. They informed them of
the dire consequences of beef
shortages and black market
manipulation if the price ceil
ings on beef were not lifted im
mediately.
Their presented
case was to no avail, as the
request was denied.*’ Ostensoe
further
stated, "The cattle
feeders and producers have
been put in a financial
and
psychological
straight-jacket
and meat packers have their
choice of closing their doors,
buying on the black market or
stay in business and continue
to lose money. Here are some
of the industry’s proUems-feed
costs are more than double to
day than they were a year ago;
removal of DES (diethylsti-
bestrol)
has added 10^¡ to
cattle production costs Presi
dent Nixon has lifted all res
trictions on imported foreign
beef, increased costs for cattle
to graze on public lands, in
creased pressures from the en
vironmental protection agen
cies, plus a host of other res
trictive regulations.'*
