Every day in the year save one she

20 years before that she had driven
Henry Fraser from her by bit of

Reserve Affair.

Dan P. Smythe, secretary of the
sheepmen's association, has received
letter from Governor Chamberlain
bearing upon the reappointment Of
the Wenaha reserve. A letter from
Clifford Pinchot head of the forest
reserve bureau, was inclosed. In the
letter Mr.. Pinchot admits that the
allotment made some time ago was
not equitable but disputes the figures
given by the Umatilla sheepmen. Ac-
cording to his statement, there are
to be more sheep from both oregon
and Washington than the local men
have supposed. However, the pro-
portion of Washington sheep over
those of Oregon is still maintained.
Among the Umatilla sheepmen the
principal theme at present is the COM
ing reallotment of the Wenaha re-
serve, which will take place at Walla
