stead of counting two lambs as ono
sheep as was done this year.
In the eastern division of the Blue
mountain reserve a band will be con-
sidered as consisting of 1900 and per-
mits for one band will be issued with
out reduction. A grower having less
than one band may secure a permit
increasing his number to 1900, pro.
vided the increase is not greater than
20 per cent.
With growers having from 1900 to
1000 sheep in the reserve this year a
cut of 20 per cent will be made, pro-
vided such a cut will not reduce the
number to less than 1900.
Growers having 1000 to 1000 sheep
this year will be reduced 80 per cent
provided such will not make the num-
Der less than 1000.
Those having 1000 or more sheep
in the reserve this year will be cut
40 per cent, provided such a cut will
not make the average cut for the en-
tire division greater than % per cent.
Should a lower cut be possible and
still maintain the 25 per cent average,
it will be made.
In the western division of the Blue
mountain reserve the same plan will
be followed as in the eastern though
the general cut will be 20 per cent.
In the Weneha reserve 100 sheep
will constitute a band, and growers
having 900 or less may increase their
number 20 per cent. Permits for one
band will be received without reduc-
ton while those having between HOO
and 24OO this year will be cut 10 per
cent and those having more than 24OO
at present will be cut 20 per cent,
provided such a cut will not make the

GObbuNG Up SMALL LINES
Pacific States Company Following
Its Usual Policy.
AGENTS GET ACTIVE IN DOUGLASS
NOW SEEKING CONNECTION
WITH NEW LINE LATELY
CONSTRUCTED.
AGENTS GET ACTIVE IN DOUGLASS

The Pacific States Telephone and
Telegraph company is steadily follow
ing it's policy in central Washington
of getting control of all Independent
telephone lines. AS was predicted a
few weeks ago, when the Entiat Tele-
phone & Telegraph company was in
corporated, connection has now been
made with the Pacific States line at
Entiat. With the promised connec-
ton of the Chelan company, as soon
as it's wires are strung to Chelan
Falls and up the Columbia, this will
give the big company control of the
north central part of the state.
In the southern part of Douglas
county the agents of the Bell company
are especially active, states a report,
and a representative was in Wilson
Creek a few days ago seeking to con-
meet that line This representative
said that he was confident that the
Wilson Creek-Krupp-O Odessa lines
would soon discard their old receivers
and transmitters and use those sup
piled by the Bell company.
This business in the southern part
of the county il of great Importance,
and the Pacific States company is
making tempting offers to the farmer
lines. It is offering to supply trans
mitters and receivers to patrons of the
farmer lines for 81 per year, the same
price it is now making in the Wenat-
chez valley in the war of extermina-
ton carried on against the Farmers
Telephone company there, the latter
company now controlling all but about
40 telephones in the city of Wenat-
| chez and valley. The farmer lines
across the state have been considering
ways and means of getting together
in forming a line to carry their bust
ness across the state, Independent of
the Bell company, and these appar-
emily cheap rates offered now by the
Pacific States people are thought to
be an effort to forestall any further
advancement of the idea.
