Chief Ranger Schmitz of the wene-

letters to every sheepowner to whom
original permits were issued to Craze
sheep in the Weneha reserve during
the season of 1906, notifying them of
the intention of the forest reserve off,
cials to make. radical reductions in the
number Of sheep to be allowed on the
reserve next season.
Under the new ruling of the forest
reserve officials, greater privileges will
be allowed the small owner than the
big sheepmen who practically monop-
olized the range this season.
The Notice Given.
Ranger Schmitz In his letter to
sneepmen says:
Because Of the crowded condition
Of the range reduction Of is per cent
will be made in the number Of sheep
to be allowed for 1907.

that you may make other arrange
ments relative to breeding for the ex-
cess number so reduced.

Ruef and the supervisors entered into
a conspiracy to remove Langdon from

Ruef appeared in court at O'clock
surrounded by body guard. Heney ap-
peared a few minutes later and was
cheered for 10 minutes.
Before court convened the bar as

Langdon. When this was announced to
the crowd there was more cheering.
The crowd by this time is fully 1000.
The police are literally beating the
excited mob back with clubs.
The greatest excitement prevails
in the vicinity Of Judge Graham's
court room and it is feared before the
proceedings go much further there
will be a riot.
One report is to the effect that Judge
Graham has recognized Ruef as dis
trict attorney, but this cannot be Off

OREGON SHEEP MEN PLAN A NEW LAW
TO SHUT OUT THE WASHINGTON GRAzERS

In the fight being waged to bar the
Washington sheepmen off the Weneha
reserve next year, in what is desig-
mated as Oregon territory, Umatilla
county sheep owners, it is said, are
planning a coup in the shape of a bill
which will be presented to the Oregon
legislature this session compelling
Washington owners to mold their
sheep within one mile of the state
line three months before being per-
mitted to pass over the line onto the
reserve.
The proposed bill, it is said, will be
in the nature of q quarantine law
which will be so rigid, that should 1t
pass, Washington sheepmen would
practically be barred of Oregon terri
tory.
walla walla sheepmen assert the
proposed bill will work a great hard
snip on them, provided it is enforced.
It is doubtful, however, If the forese
officials will permit Oregon sheepmen
to dictate the allotment of the wene-
ha reserve on the grounds that state
has no jurisdiction over government
