Sheep Industry Declining

A prominent sheep raiser of Yaki-
ma county, which has the largest
focks in the state, is quoted as say
ing that 'the sheep industry in the
Yakima valley will be a thing of the
past within very few years. There
are now less than LOG, ,0OOin the coun-
ty, as against quarter of million
at this time Of the year FIVE years
ago. The destruction of the range
and the crowding-of policy of the de
partment of the interior in connec-
tion with it's conduct Of the forest re-
serve has brought about this condi-
tion. In very few years more the
focks in this valley can be counted
on ones fingers, and there will be no
large bands.
I'm the last five years ten exten-
-sive sheep growers have gone out Of
the business. Under the present con-
ditions they cannot carry on the
business proftably. This cutting
down of the focks has been proper
tionate all over the United States,
and is the cause Of the advance in
the price of wool. .

pealed at the last session of the
Washington legislature and new
law substituted. The new law pro-
vides for state board of fire COM
missioners consisting of five members,
one of whom is the state land COM
missioner, and the other four are ap-
pointed by the governor; all to serve
without compensation. The state
board of fire commissioners has abso-
Lutte control of all fire wardens and
the general policy of carrying into
effect the law. The state fire war
den is to be appointed by the com
mission, and a deputy fire warden in
each of the timbered counties, the

ing locomotives without suitable

frayed by the county and the remain
ing tWo-thirds by the state. The law

The ISLANDERS position on the in
corporation question is well known,
locally at least. 1t believes that there
is no reasonable excuse for town as
large as this, the county seat of a
thriving county, being subject to the
absolute control of the county COM
missioners, sheriff and prosecuting
attorney in all matters of local gov
ernment We are large enough to
control our own affairs and we ought
to have independence and public
spirit enough to do so. Such public
or semi-public utilities as electric
lights and water works, essential ad-
iuncts of the modern town, we will
never get until the place is incorpor-
ated, for men will not invest capital
in enterprises of this kind without
the protection Of reasonable fran
chises. Fire protection and lower
rates of insurance in the business dis
trict and many little improvements
which would add much to the value of
property and to the advantages of
the town as place of residence will
come only. through Incorporation.
The ISLANDER believes that it would
be impossible to elect five councilmer
here who could not be fully relied upon
to properly safeguard the interests
of property holders in all financial
matters. From our point of view the
benefits which would almost immedi-
ately accrue as result of incorpora-
tion would very greatly outweigh the
cost, which, as we have already
shown, cou.d not be excessive, under
the tax limitation of the law.

DENOUNCE PRIZE CONTEST

"A SUCKER" EXPLAINS SCHEME
OF THE EXPRESS
Repetition of "Mysterious Mr.. Hyde"
Farce Feared by Reader of "Way

serts One Who Entered Contest

An afternoon paper known as the
Express recently offered a prize to the
person capturing 1.-THE Mysterious Mr..
Hyde" After the scheme had been
worked" a sufficient length of time,
Mr.. Hyde was found" but not, how
ever, until several persons had discov7
cred the mysterious one, claimed the
prize money and were refused payment
by the Express.
Another scheme was worked" last
week by the Express, and that the few
readers of that paper are not pleased
is evident by the following letter re-
ceived by The Herald yesterday
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 25-To the

week: DO you know why you did not
get prizes? You got all the freight

had, but the prize winners were for-

a physical impossibility for you to win.

EXCESSIVE WAGE BOOMERANG

labor situation noted in New York is of general
interest because of it's correatve bearing Certain large
manufacturing to be prosecuted by the
United States district attorney the charge of having
violated the contract labor law.
1t seems that in August of last year the wages of
skilled tile layers forced up high that an assoc
alton of employers advertised in English and German
newspapers for workmen in that line to to New
York. where they would receive 5 day for eight hours
work Responses to the advertisement said to have
been in violation of the contract labor law
The point of general interest to which that incident
relates is the mistake which American skilled work
men make when they force the wage SCALE above a
reasonable standard. Abnormaly high wages in this
country are just attract workers from Europe
as is water to flow down hill It is not necessary except
in emergencies for employers to advertise specially in
Europe for to accept such abnormay high wages.
Newspapers friends in this country quickly apprse
foreigners of such opportunities.
The contract labor law cannot interpose to prevent
Europeans from coming the United States in droves
to accept the places of Americans provided there
nothing in the sembance of contract to induce their
coming without any special inducement, foreigners
are coming at the rate of million year to com
pete with American labor by offerings of the "drt
cheap" European kind of labor
Every movement toward the forcing of excessively
high wage schedule the United States is an induce.
for horde of foreign workers in the line to
strike out for this country.

THE CHRONICLES FAUX PAS

The San Francisco falsehood about Engineer Lippn-
colts connection with the Owens valley water project
has been fttngy stamped spurious at the point Of
it's issuance.
Last Saturday Mr. Lippncott made explicit state
by the Chronicles literary proege, feminine fiction
writer of nyo county That charge as noticed by The
Herald at the time effect that MI Lippncott,
while engaged in the government reclamation service
worked in the interest of Los Angeles to the detr
ment of the reclamation project
Mr. Lppincot nails the San Francisco story by show
ing in single sentence that it has substantial basis
whatever. He says: "The department has never, di-
recty or indirectly agreed to construct project in the
Owens valley, and it's construction has been
commended" So much for the invention that the gov
ernment had planned reclamation operations in the
valley which Mr. Lippincott had "hed up" in the in
terest of Los Angeles.
regard his personal connection with the matter,
Mr. Lippincot declares that he presentation of data
to the city of Angeles concerning the Owens valley
authorized by my superior officers at the time it
was given" 1t directly from the department Of
the interior at Washington not from Mr. Lippincott,
that the Los Angeles officials obtained their Owens
valley data.
AS resident of Los Angeles Mr.. Lippncott like all
other citizens feels deep interest in the citys greater
water project. AS he states, he prominently
nected for term of years, with the requirement of
plant by municipality" But that he says explc-
itly was prior to the time of my connection with the
reclamation service"
The Chronicle and its feminine fiction weaver have
made what the French call faux pas.
