Oregon never receiveda strong
er endorsement than the follow
ing from the pen Of Professor
Charles Curtis, Of the Ames,
Iowa, Agricultural College:
There is nowhere on the face
of the globe q land or people So
dominant in the improvement, Of
live stock or so potent IN the pro-
duction of the highest types of
domestic animals as the British
Islands. There is nowhere on
the American continent q region
affording conditions so closely
allied 10 those Of Great Britain
as on the North Pacific Coast of
the United States. The simi.ari-
~ is noticeable, not only is cli-
matte conditions and natural en-
vironment, but also in the genu-
inc enthusiasm and deep-seaJed
faith in the industry possessed
by the tillers of the soil.

There should be some arrange
ments made to get out some ad-
vertising pamphlets describing
the resousces of the Harvey
country, az m early date.
There is q constant demand for
this class of matter and those
printed last spring are about eN-
hausted. The Push Club of This
city secured the last ones and
while they answered the purpose
very well. they lacked iu some
respects. While general in char
acter the matter was rather too
condensed 20 be altogether satis-
factory for general use. An at

would prove very beneficial at
the present time and il is hoped

Dan T. Smythe of this city was
Oregon's committeeman at the
time and while at the capital be-
came familiar with the govern
ment's attitude toward the public
range.
The proposition will again be
brought up" says Mr.. Smythe,
for the eastern people have the
belief that western stockmen are
being given something for no.
thing by the government and
there is n wide demand that
charges be made for using the
range. 1t seems impossible for
the western senators to block the
measure and if SO it is up to the
stockmen to see that the measure
as passed is rs well adapted to
the conditions rs possible.
At The Dalles meeting, which
viii be the official gathering of
the Oregon sheepmen this year
the subject will be discussed and
some line of action probably
agreed upon so that the Oregon
congressional delegation can have
something to go by. Among
other features connected with

question of whether or not

made. leasing prices. etc

has rendered a decision in the

hoped the matter may be exped-
tied at Washington and a final

cred at once.
