Jackass, Mule, Donkey, Burro and Horse Meat May Now Be Sold in Portland.
Portland, Ore.-Jackass, mule, donkey, burro and horse meat may now be sold in Portland meat markets. The city council has adopted an ordinance providing for the inspection of these meats and for the regulation of their sale.
The meat must be plainly labeled with letters at least one inch high and must be inspected by the regular meat inspectors of the city.
As adopted the ordinance says Dobbin and Billy and Maud, before being sold to the housewife, must undergo thorough inspection and be labeled "horse," "mule," "goat" or "jackass," as the case may be.
The first horse-meat market has been opened and the first shipment of 22 wild-range mustangs, rounded up by Indians in eastern Oregon, has been received, with more to follow if the demand is sufficient. The butcher says he is able to cut meat prices in two and his quotations for horse flesh range from 4 cents a pound for soup cuts to 20 cents for T-bone steaks.
