it it il on au that hay costs 20 per ton and grain cents pet pei and ancl in this connection I 1 to say eay that some vernal papers have stated that the vernal people have assisted the settlers on the reservation the only way they have assisted them in return for opening up new markets for them Is in putting on two or three prices for feed when they knew the cattle and sheep of the settlers bottlers were inere starving tha settlers have not asked any chailey and they liae have not received adv charity from vernal although the season has been cold and bac backward kiNard the outlook on oil the re serration ser atlon Nation la Is bright for the coming year concluded representative pope and we are sure to double the lation of the state in the easters valleys before many years elapse As ag to the iho prices charged by the penpit 0 c ernal bernal for the hay and i aap old to bottlers ett lors we will say eay that in the first place a long and geneie winter and deep snow enow acu ecu i I 1 the be banners and stockmen stoc kmen to fc fit i taji alit 11 tock idock since in october ibbs alg condition on altion was as uncontrollable und and vlen N I 1 en stockmen stoc kmen viewed the pros lichts they bought up what hay bay they could for their herds heads and others who generally have considerable to sell had to feed thus a great deal of hay and grain wis ats taken from the open market which other years had been counted upon secondly supply and demand gen orally govern prices it certainly has been the case here last fall liay hay was F sold old for five and six dollars a ton and baled hay at 7 50 and 8 per I 1 ton but as aa soon as thep the h hard ard winter set in ill the prices raised when baled hay was selling in vernal fo for r 15 per ton it was selling at roosevelt for 25 and 30 10 and at theodore at 35 per ton and there was a reason tor for the advance in prices it takes three da days s to load and make a trip to roosevelt and back it takes foar days dabs at leafset to make the trip to theodore and five collais per day is none too much for a four it horse ars e team on those trips so when it la is said that venial people have put on two or prices for feed when hen they knew the cattle and sheep of the set tiers were ere starving the statement is made erroneously and the facts vill aill not support it in fact there la Is no set price in vernal or ashley A alley upon farni farm produce some farmers have sold hay ht at 8 and 10 icci en others sold it at ir 15 per ton it depends upon the farmer and tile the needs of the pui piti chaser por for
