Phenix offers a spledid opening for
some energetic capitalist in the business
of butchering and shipping beef by the
cold storage process. This meat finds a
ready market in all the great commercial
centers of Union, and adjacent alfalfa
fields would furnish the finest quality of
fat beef for this purpose.
In Kansas, Texas, Missouri and various
other states there are many such estab
lishments. Yet the cost of obtaining
suitable beef for the purpose in each of
the states above named is enormous.
With the vast cattle ranges of the sur
rounding mountains to draw from the
fertile fields of this valley as a feeding
ground, such an establishment would
have an unlimited supply of the best and
finest beef cattle, and could send forward
a quality of beef that would quickly com
mend the best prices and would hold the
market.
The United States is increasing in
population in a remarkable degree of
beef supply houses in the w’estern ranges
are sure'y disappearing forever, and in
a 1 probability seen its last range cattle;
that is, cattle cannot now be taken from
the ranges and shipped to the markets in
prime killing condition; but alfaiti fields
will hereafter be the source from which
su' h de-irable beef must come.
The great cities of our country are
rapidly increasing in population and their
demands are daily increasing with their
growth. The market for the food of the
land’s production is one that will never
diminish, and any new euterpiise of this
kind will find no difficulty in disposing
of its product.
The western catt'emen have this pro
blem to confront them; th t it is notin
any sense a difficult matter to breed
cat le; but. when it comes to preparing
them for the markets a new and difficult
problem confronts them. It is certainly
one which they must master, as no cor
poration or individual can raise cattle
without finding a market for their beeves,
and no market can be found for range
fed cittle —Gazette.
When cattle were at an abnormallyhigh
price, so that they could not possibly go
higher, and of necessity must depreciate,
men “went their length,” and so far be
yond as borrow' ai d mortgage would per
mit of, in buying caitle. Now that the
prices are below the bottom, and by the
laws of trade, supply and demand, and in
the nature of things they must just as
certainly come up again, we seem crazed
with a desire to give them away. The
man who stays now will be “in luck,”
and cold judgment might now take all the
chances that mad excitement courted in
1883-4 . That state of things is not desi
rable nor expected; but the very long
lane has its point of turning, and it
is not far ahead. For those to whom the
cattle business is “good enough,” there is
a brighter day in the near future.—N. W.
