DESTROYING SHEEP.

The killing of four thousand
head of sheep By sheepshooters
last spring in the Silver Lake
country followed soon after by
the murd er of Creed Conn, the Sill
yer Lake merchant, whose knowl-
edge of the shooting of the sheep
the criminals feared would bring
them to justice, is brought vivid
ly to mind when the news of a
similar occurrence is chronicled
in Central Oregon. Recent news
from Prineville states that six
thousand head of sheep slaugh-
tered, of an approximate value
of $1,000, without a single in
dictment by the grand jury, is

in all our experience where a cough
or cold resulted in pneumonia or con-
sumption when Foley's Honey & Tar had
been taken. 1t cures coughs and colds
perfectly, so do not take chances with
some unknown preparation which may
contain opiates, which cause constipa-

from cold. Ask for Foley's Honey and

The CORVALLIS GAZETTE
CORPORATIONS.

sage to congress shows his even
temper of mind and clear dis
crimination in pointing out the
way to regulate the great cor
porations of the present day so
as to make them useful to the
people and supervise their opera
tions as to eliminate the harmful
results to the public which may
occur where there is no regula-
ton. An occasional enthusiast
construes the presidents earnest
recommendations as pointing to-
ward an implied threat to favor
government ownership, while the
public utterances of the Presi-
dent before and since his election
has pointed against government
ownership and in favor of strict
supervision and regulation. Gov
ernment ownership of corpora
tions means that all the great en-
terprises of the country shall be
carried on and operated by the
government thus eliminating all
private ownership in any of the
great business enterprises OF the
country where they become too
large and require more capital to
operate, than inviduals can asso-
ciate together, under ownership
not corporate.
One with vivid imagination
insists that the government
should own and operate the great
railroad and transportation en-
terprises, another finds that an
other class of work should be
carried on by the government,
and by the time that we satisfy
all of the peculiar ideas found in
the minds of different men, we
would have all of the business OF
the country owned and operated
by Uncle Sam, and we would all
have to work for our dear old
uncle on a salary.
There is no reason why every
corporation cannot be supervised
and regulated under proper laws
so as to be of vast benefit to the
public and still guard against
and eliminate the disturbance to
the public good when the alb
sence of proper supervision un-
der just laws is found wanting.
1t was the theory carried out
by law under the rule of kings
that the government should own
and control all mines. In the
United States among the great
industries are the mining inter-
ests owned by individuals and
the larger enterprises of the kind
are carried on by associating
large aggregates of capital from
small owners and organizing
them. into corporations in the
conduct of these great mining
enterprises which have proven so
beneficial and produced so much
wealth to our country. Like
many enterprises the industry
cannot be handled by individuals
for lack of sufficient capital.
Corporations are good or bad
as are the individuals who own
and operate them, the same as
all other classes. If the owners
or operators are good or bad so
will be the corporation. To
guard against the evil results
from the bad owners the recon-
mendation of the President for
laws requiring strict supervision
and frequent examination into
their affairs by competent men
and the most thorough reports
making public the results to the
people as recommended by him
RE the safeguards for the people.

The same authority states that,
''The first organized bands of
sheepshooters were for the ex-
press purpose of protecting the
range from so-called outside
sheep, their efforts have never
been directed at anything but the
apparent determination of home
sheep, that all public range could
thus be conserved for the indi-
vidual use of the cattleman to
exclusion Of all other kinds of
stock. "
Is it possible that such condi-
tions of wanton destruction of
property and murder, can con-
tinue in any part Of a civilized
country like the United States?
If it were in some countries pos
sibly not so free as ours, detec-
tives would be put on the trail
of the criminals and they would
be placed in the penltentiary
where they belong. Mr.. Conn
met his death because he was
supposed to have definite knowl-
edge Of the parties who did the
killing of sheep. In the locality
where the last 5000 sheep were
wantonly killed, law abiding
citizens are no doubt fearful of
losing their lives if they should
make any move to punish the Or
ganized bands Of criminals in
killing the sheep industry, be-
cause it is claimed the cattle
kings are the leaders of these
organized bands Of outlaws. If
such is the case it follows that
the citizens of other parts of the
state should organize plans
which will result in hunting
down and Furnishing these crimi-
nails. These occurrences are a
disgrace to the fair name Of Ore
gon. The law officers Of the
state should take immediate steps
to purge Oregon Of this disgrace.
1t may be said that the officers
and law abiding citizens Of the
counties where these offenses are
committed shall take the initiato-
rystep, which under ordinary cir
cumstances would be proper.
But the organized bands of Grim
inals under the guidance of cat
tlemen are largely in the ascen-
dency and bent on driving out
and exterminating the sheep in
dustry and if necessary shoot
every sheep on the range to carry
out their plans. The law abid-
ing citizens in the respective To-
calities are powerless to combat
this criminal element. Large
sums of money and much time is
spent in the laudable undertake
ing to attract strangers from
other states to settle in Oregon.
Some of this energy should be
spent in detecting and bringing
to justice the criminals named.

there Is some probability the organizatio

1347 Pennsylvania avenue, formerly the
home of the Calumet Club, and, prior to
that, of the Iroquois Club. The associa ton
has long felt the need of more spacious ac-

change is accomplished the Business Mems
Association will have a well-apponted club,

submitted formally to the members of the
association, it is understood the majority of
them at least are in favor of the new
