OREGON SHEEP
ALL INSPECTED
Reports on Work Com
pleted July l.

July l, the federal stock IN
spectors; working in Oregon un
der the direction OF DR.. s. W. Nc
Clure, completed the inspection o
the sheep of this state and the re-
turns that have been received a.
the Pendieton bureau of snima
industry Office show some very in
teresting things, says the East
Oregonian. The efficiency of the
present state sheep law and the
benefit that the state receives from
the work done by the government
are two things that are very evil
dent.
A year ago when the sheep OF
Oregon were inspected by the fed
eral men it was disclosed that
16 4 5 per cent of the sheep of the
state were affected with scabies.
Under the provisions of the sheep
law every sheep in the state was
dipped, the work being done be-
tween April and September.
This year the federal inspectors
commenced an inspection February
l and all the sheep of the state.
were inspected between that time
and July1. Reports received from
his men by Mr.. Mcclure show that
out of the 2,245,055 sheep in the
state only 2 53-100 per cent were
found to be scabby. These sheep
were all dipped twice under the
supervision of a federal inspector
and all exposed sheep were dipped
once.
On September l another inspec-
tion of all the sheep IN the state
will be started and it will require
three months to complete the work.
At that time all scabby sheep, if
any, will be dipped.
The inspection just closed shows
that the following counties we're
absolutely free from scab: Baker,
Wa!lowa, Grant Wheeler, Crook,
Sherman, Wasco, Gillian, Morrow
and Harney.
This year Umatilla county had
1900 scabby sheep, whereas a year
ago it had $4,000. The 1900
scabby sheep found this year were
dipped in May and when inspected
again June 20 were found free
from disease. There is now no
scab in Umatilla county.
Nearly sll of the scab now exist
ing is found in Lake and Malheur
counties. Most of the scab is a
mong bands in southern MalEeur
and owned by Spaninrds. These
men were slow to dip last year.
The .scab in Lake county was
by a band of bucks.
In the Willamette valley there
IS now no scab excepting among
Few small bands in Douglas county,

Pass Laws Upheld.

Lincoln, Sept 1.-THE supreme
court OF Nebraska, in decisions rem.
dered last evening, sustained the
validity of what IS known as the King
antidisCrimination law and the anti.
pass law. Both are enactments of the
last Legislature. In the anti.disCrim
lnation opinion the court holds that
in the case OF a lumber dealer con.
trolling yards in two towns he must
not, III order to meet competition or
destroy competition, sell at lower
price in one town than in the other.
In the anti-pass decision the rul.
ing is not SO direct. Complaint was
made against Union Pacific surgeon,
whose salary from the railroad was
but $25 a month. that he was fur.
nished an annual pass contrary to the
law, which provides that to be an EN-.
ploye of the railroad and entitled to
free transportation the holder must
give the major part of his time to the
service of the company. The surgeon
was acquitted in the lower court and
the supreme court finds the ruling
faulty, but permits of a rehearing.
