Even with feed on {the ground, the transportation prob. lem isa severe one, as the cattle are reported to be too weak to be driven to the roads and transportation to points distant from the railroads is difficult. According to the traveling men, some of whom spent most of last week in the territory, a few dead animals are seen in going through the coun- try but not a large number. Reports to the state officers indi- cate that the most suffering is where the number of cattle is small and the individual farmer failed to make pro- vision for feed because of the usual ability, of that number of animals to “rustlé” for themselves on any farm of considerable proportions. Better feed preparation was made for the largest number of cattle. All reports agree, however, that the j condition is serious.and that action is necessary to prevent ‘future losses from*mounting. high. JAILED FOR BOOTLEGGING Valley. City, N.
