]. H. French informs the Pendle-
ton Tribune that the outlook for stock
men in Umatilla county is worse than
it has ever been at any time during
the past 36 years. There is no grass
on the ranges, and hay is scarce. So

hay left over from past years. and are
generally pretty well prepared to care
for their animals, no matter what kind
of weather may come.
