| cattleraiSer, was seen at the White House
Yesterday. There are about $4,000 head
| of foreign sheep in Beaver and Millard
Counties said Mr.. Bowen. They are
| driven in from Wyoming and other dis
| tant sections, and are driving away the
| cattle. The sheep have eaten out the
summer ranges; they eat everything in
sight, and leave nothing for the cattle If
TINS continues long, the cattlemen will
have 10 sell out and leave the country.
Inc Sheep are very close CHOPPERS; they
leave no heritage, but sweep the coun-
try clean. They will come up to our
FENCES, and even get under the fences,
and eat us out. The sheepmen claim that
they have as much right to the govern
ment ranges as the cattlemen have. but
the sheep are more destructive than the
cattle. for they destroy all growing veg
citation, and soon the country becomes
barren. Furthermore these range sheep
Yield less wool than the ranch-fed sheep.
The ranch-fed sheep yield seven or eight
pounds of WOOL ana 1t seems to me that
the sheepmen would prefer this system to
the range sheep, which average only five
or six pounds. The northern Snesp-rai sers
adopt this plan and find il cheaper to feed
sheep at home than to drive them such
long distances TO the ranges. l expect
will have 10 sell out if this thing con-
tinueS much longer"
Mr.. j. G. Guthrie. a wool-buyer repre-
senting the house of SHverman Bros of
Chicago. is at the Cullen. He has just
made a tour of the state and has shipped
to his house, on consignment, 10000
pounds of wool. He reports the clip of
the state as pretty well exhausted, and
that owners are holding for higher prices
The price now ranges at from II TO ID
cents per pound. The clip, he states. has
been rather large this season. about H.
VV0.oc0 pounds. and the market has been
cleaned up earlier than usual. There is
considerable wool, however, at Price, and
at a few other points. but they seem TO
be holding for greater prices.
Mr. Joseph oborn of Fairview. who
owns little band of 5000 sheep. is located
at the Cullen. Well" he said. Il have
a clip of about $500 pounds of wool. but
am not anxious to sell it unless l get
good price. II the government drives us
of the reservation, we can't raise any
more wool nor sheep. Yet, it seems to
me mat the sheep nave as much right on
the reservations as the cattle have. But,
OF course, We will have to do as the gov
eminent officials say. l presume the
Woolgrowers' association will do some
be bad for the sheepmen. and the price of
wool will go up"
