BEEF CATTLE. 



CCORDING to the 1910 census there are about 425 thousand 

 beef cattle in Oregon. There are no 'exact figures available for 

 the present year but it is well known! by all stockmen that the 

 number is much less than two years ago. It is very probable that 350 

 thousand would be about the correct number at the present time. 

 It will be noted from the map that the cattle are scattered throughout 

 the state, but are particularly numerous through the Blue Mountain
