George Spotton, local member, was
one of the members who appealed to
the Government to aid the farmers
who lost in this shipment. The Rich-
eireatt deal is well known in these
parts and the loss sustained by those
who shipped cattle was about $40,000.
This company was subsidized by the
Dominion to the amount of $13,000,
The Governinent, however, felt they
cared not accept the responsibility for
these losses.;
