TRAILING SHEEP.
How an Immense Flock Is Driven from
Oregon to Market.

/ J. /. Carson, welI-known sheep drover,
is in Portland peparing to start ION the
trail'' with $500 yearIing wethers, pur-
chased in Morrow County. He says he
would like to buy about 5000 more, but
remarked: "They are holding 'em too
high for me. l am willing to pay s.. % a
head for wethers and s2.75 for ewes, but
eastern Oregon sheepmen think they are
worth more. so we can't trade"
Mr.. Carson says he Will start his big
flock just as soon as the sheep have been
shorn. He will probably ship by train
from Heppner to Huntington, and ferry
across the Snake river near the terminus
OF Oregon Railroad and Navigation. lie
has not yet solved the problem as regards
crossing Wyoming, as the new quaran-
tine law Of that state was framed to pre-
vent TRAILING across it's lands. lie is
thinking. therefore, of spending the sum-
mer and fall in the Wood River noun
tains, and will decide in the meantime
how to invade Wyoming.
He thinks this viii be the last band of
sheep ''trailed" across the state of Idaho
as the Snake river plains are now nearly
~~%%AAA-@~- AR@
about all been taken up. In one locality
he viii have twenty-five mile drive be-
/ tween watering places, and as six miles
day is fair day travel the sheep viii
have to go without water for four days on
stretch. He viii drive over this
region in the night time, as the weather
viii be too hot TO enable the animals to
travel without water. The country along
there is sagebrush and sand, and great
care win have TO be exercised in ORDER to
avoid losing sheep. He will provide the
band with twenty bells, he says, and by
counting these and the black sheep occas-
ionally the men viii be- able to miss any
large bunch that might be left behind
TRAILING sheep across Oregon, Idaho
and Wyoming used to be a picnic" Mr..
Carson says, when the country was
open, but now we expect more or less
trouble from people who claim the grass
all along the route. We can hunt and
fish while the sheep are resting during
the heat of the day aud our frequent
change of location creates perpetual
novelty. Once in while some irate
farmer or cattleman gets after us, fear
ing our flocks will eat his grass all up
before We get by, but we have thus far
avoided any serious trouble, and we hope
to pull through without any in this
our last trailing venture across Idaho"
Mr.. Carson has been purchasing Ore
gOn sheep Tor the trail Tor quite
number of years, he says, but never had
to pay as much for them as now. Five
years ago. he said, Il bought all the
yearlings [ wanted at 81 a head in cas-
tern Oregon, and drove them through to
Central City Neb., where / had them
fed on corn that cost s cents a Dushel
and on hay at 50 a ton delivered. And
yet our firm made no money out of the
transaction--just came out even. We
hope to make money now. Portland
