      SOME ITEMS OF INTEREST

      When the s.s. Minderoo arrived at Carnarvon on Saturday afternoon last it was stated that an elderly passenger named John Jordan had been missing since about 8 o'clock that morning, when the ship had passed Cape Inscription.

      A thorough search of the ship was made but without success. Jordan was a well known resident of the back country, and kept the Boundary Store on the Gascoyne River stock route. Last year he leased his store for 12 months and was returning to take it over again.

  • Notes 
    • NORTH-WEST PASTORAL NEWS STATION PARS.
      During the year ended December 31, 1918, 140,000 travelling sheep and 2200 cattle passed Boundary Store going southwards. [2]
    • NORTH WEST MEAT WORKS
      Another thing, even if there were an assured southern market for our fats, there is the cost of droving, or freight if found possible to secure shipping space, and also the losses and loss of condition which would be practicably eliminated if the sheep were slaughtered in Carnarvon.

      Over 100,000 sheep have passed the Boundary Store on the Gascoyne this season, and it may safely be assumed that not 30 per cent of them have arrived at their destination fat and the balance, as one large stock dealer puts it have been distributed over the southern areas for fattening.

      The sheep sent south, it should be remembered— and no doubt will by most of our stock growers have to be disposed of except in the case of the few men who have country available within touch of the market and unless the sheep are fat owners have to take what they can get.

      This of course, has been the case in the past, but with the increased numbers of stock being raised in the southern (parts of the State, the situation is each year becoming worse for the man who sends his stock south for sale.

      The only remedy is the establishment of an meat works at the different stock centres in the North West and assuredly they would come, but upon the system on which such works are established and carried on will rest the degree of advantage that they will be to the individual stock owners of the district.
