Cattle Smuggling Racket Hard To Stop
A situation apparently .beyond imediate legal redress is developing in reported cattle smuggling across the border from British Columbia’s Fraser valley into the state of Washington. Unbranded cattle apparently are collected in the valley and shipped by truck into the United States by unfrequented and unpatroll-d routes. Beef brings a considerably higher price in Washington than in British Columbia, which accounts for the smuggling. Officials of the provincial department of livestock point out that Fraser valley cattle are free from the Stock Brands’ Act which applies to herds in other parts of the province. Hence, it is almost impossible to establish ownership or origin of the stock once it is shipped.
