The executive board of the Idaho
Wool Growers association, composed
of Judge C. o. Stockslager Of HALEY,
o. F.. Bacon of Boise, w. H. Phil
brick of American Falls, II. ]. Doug
las of Pocatello and Governor Good
ing, met late yesterday afternoon in
>the United States forest service office
with Forest Supervisor Grandjean for
the purpose of appointing the advi-
sorry boards for the Sawtooth and
Payette national forest reserves, says
the Boise Capital News. The appoint
ments will be made by Judge Stock
slayer, president of the Wool Grow
ers' association, and will be referred
to Mr.. Grandjean for approval and
will then be sent to Washington for
approval there.
The board also agreed with Super
visor Grandjean to put the maximum
limit OF the number of sheep that
any one person or company can Craze
on the reserve at 10000 head. This
number does not affect owners who
last season obtained permits for a
larger number. Supervisor Grand
jean explained that this limit was
made in order that a monopoly could
not be obtained by large owners buy
ing out the small sheepmen, and 1t is
the policy Of the government to en-
courage all small sheepmen in the
national reserve.
Other questions of importance were
discussed and the meeting proved to
be pleasant and profitable.
Governor Gooding stated that some
of the large sheepmen were giving
sheep to small rapchmen on a stock
increase commission, and in that way
were getting more sheep in the re-
serve than the amount allotted to
them.
The matter of making each sheep
man swear that he is the sole owner
of all sheep for which he asks graz.
ing purposes was discussed and will
probably be taken up by the forest
service. which is investigating this
matter.

CHARLES CUNNINGHAM DISCUSSES SHEEP
AND WILD ANIMALS

The fascination of the sheep busi-
ness clings to Charles Cunningham,
the retired sheep king Of this city.
For 25 years he was a leader in the
sheep inductry in Oregon and it is
not remarkable that he becomes en-
thusiastic in talking on that subject.
While in Portland this week, he gave
the following interview to the Orego-
nian:
"The sheep industry of oregon is in
serious danger of being wiped out
within the next five years." said
Charles Cunningham, perhaps the
Oldest and most prominent sheep-rais-
er in the state, at the Portland hotel
yesterday, says the Oregonian. "At
present sheep bring $10,000,000 year
into the state. Sheep in Oregon, In
fact all over the Pacific northwest,

sheep in this part of the country,
and especially in eastern oregon, are
threatened by three very serious dan
gers, the cutting down Of the open
range, the probable lowering of the
tariff on wool and hides and wild an
imals. Let me give you few figures
founded on my own experience COW
.ering 35 years in the sheep industry
in Oregon:
'Thirty-five years ago a man could

IMMIGRATION INTO CANADA.
Proportion of increase Is Greater
Than the United States.

The Chicago Record-Herald re-
views the immigration to Canada in
the following interesting manner:
immigration in to Canada in the
year 1898 was $1,000. During the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1907, the
number of immigrants was 252.03S.
immigration into the United States
increased from 229,299 in the fiscal
year 1878 to 1,295,OOO in the fiscal
year 1906-7.
In Canada there were nearly eight
times as many immigrants In 1907 as
there were in 1898, in the United
States but a trifle over five times as
many, and 1t should be noted that the
American immigration in 1898 was
the lowest in the long series of years
from 1879 to 1907.
This shows that the percentage of
increase has been much greater in
Canada than 1t has been in this
country, even when such small year
for the United States figures in the
comparison. But even more interest
ing Is the consideration of the rela-
tlOIl WIiich tic Jtdiiy ihiihbidtioIi
bears to the population. The popula-
tion of Canada in 1901 was 5,317,315.
The population of the United States
in 1900 was 76,303,3S7.
Though we are now adding more
than a million immigrants to our
population yearly, the huge total of
last year was relatively of much less
Importance than the addition which
Canada made to her population. II
we had quarter of million to every
five millions and quarter of the
population we should be receiving
more than three million immigrants
annually.
The returns by races or nationali-
ties In Canada are not at hand as yet,
but in the recent years of large i'm
migration the immigration from the
United Kingdom has considerably ex-
ceeded that from the United States,
and the immigration from the Unit
ed States has exceeded that from all
other countries. Apparently a large
percentage of the new blood In Can
ada cmes from the old stock, and no
such problem of assimilation is pre-
sented as we have in this country.

TELLS OF OREGON
CORNELL PROFESSOR
WRITES OF RESOURCES
Industrial History by Prof. Thomas
Hunt Gives Valuable Statistics of
Northwest States-Rcsourccs Are
Recounted and Opportunities Re
viewed In Graphic Manner.

The following extracts relative to
the resources Of the northwest are
taken from the late work of Profess
sor Thomas Hunt, one OF the instruc-
tors of Cornell university:
This region is characterized by its
immense forest resources, its fishing
industries and the high production of
wheat by dry farming In the eatern
part of Washington and along the
Colombia river in Oregon, writes
Professor Hunt of Oregon, Washing
ton and Idaho. One-third of the
area is covered by forests of immense
commercial Importance, while at
least one-fifth more is covered by
trees of at least Importance. In
western Oregon and Washington are
to be found millions of acres of the
densest forest. with coniferous trees
of great height and large diameters,
of which the Douglas fir and the red
cedar are perhaps the most import
ant. 1t is not uncommon for five
acres of land to cut a million feet of
lumber.
Wheat and Hay.
Wheat and hay constitute about
one-third of the value of all crops.
While general farming is somewhat
more developed than in the Rocky
mountain states, the grazing of live
stock is still one of the principal in
dustries. Certain acres in Oregon,
"a I,f, ,gcl,
ideal conditions of soil and climate
for the production of hops. These
three states produce two-thirds of the
products of the United States.
The Cascade mountains divide this
region, climatically and agricultural
ly, into two parts. Between the Cas-
cade mountains and the Coast range
are fertile, wellwatered valleys, al
ready thickly populated. Upon the
western coast, owing to the Japan
current the temperature is the most
equitable in North America. The cli-
mate is more like England than that
of any other part of the United States.
Still Plenty of Land Available.
The soils are mostly of a volcanic
origin and are unusually fertile and
enduring. The parties consist of ex-
panses of rolling hills. The layout
of the farms and general aspect of
the improvements are similar to those
in the newer portion portions of the
North Central states. The people are
mostly native born Americans from
the older settled states. There is a
general air of hopefulness and pros
perity among them. &
There are still 30,000,00p acres of
unappropriated and undeserved pub
lie lands ready for entry in this re-
gion. While some of this is forest
land and some of this arid this re-
gion probably contains the largest
body of public land yet opened for
settlement in the United States.
Oregon, Washington and Idaho are
credited with about 10000 farms. The
area in farms is 25,O00,O0O acres,
the improved area being about g.
100000 acres for the three states,
The average size of the farms is a
trifle over $50 acres, and the average
size of the improved farms is nearly
100 acres. The state of Oregon alone
has about 100000 acres of land

mated to be worth about S13 per

rather killed by the wild animals
Coyotes and wolves are much thicker
today than they ever were when Ore
gon was practically wilderness.
With so much to eat that can be kill
ed so easily the wolves, and especial
, ly the coyotes, breed fast and live
long. When Oregon had 80 boun-
ty on coyotes 1t cost the state $780,
900 year; that is, about 100000
scalps were brought in during the two
years the bounty was offered.
"The effect was at once seen on the
range. Our losses dropped off to a
mere fraction of what they had been
or are today. But Portland and Multi
nomah county objected to paying
bounty, so it was taken off, and the
wolves turned loose on the flocks
again because this city and county
had the votes, and did not see the inn
mediate effect of the bounty. The
result is that while Oregon saves
100000 a year on bounties it loses
$1,000,000 on sheep alone. And of
this loss Portland and Multnomah
county pay the bulk, for we sheep
men have to raise the price of NUT
ton to cover the loss or quit business.
'The loss by wild animals today in
sheep alone is 10 per cent of the in
vested capital every year. 1 figured
up what the wild annals have cost
me in the past 35 years, and it adds
up, without counting interest at COM
mon rates to over 100000. II add
interest at the usual rates the total
amount is over $1,000,000 That is a
fine meat bill for one sheepman to
have to pay just to feed coyotes, is 1t
not?
What Oregon Must Do.
ITO sum the whole thing up in a
few words, 1t is simply this: Oregon
must expect the government range to
be cut down two-thirds within the
next year or two; must not expect to
ship manufactured sheep products to
the orient under any circumstances,
and not to the east or middle west
under the present freight rates; must
expect to see all flocsks cut down to
not over 1000, and those fed in pens;
and above all, the bounty on wild ami
mails must be restored. Portland has
not shadow of right to kick about
higher milk prices, or rises in the

He fought to . standstill with first
