MILD WINTER
SAVES MUCH HAY
SHEEP HAVE BEEN FED
BUT VERY LITTLE so FAR
All the Herds of the County Are
Keeping Fat on the Open Range
Staple of the Wool Is Excellent
and the Umatilla County Clip VIII
Average at Lease Nine Pounds
Good Prospect for Coming Year.

That large quantities of hay will
be held over in Umatilla county this
season is now the guest of all the
sheepmen who have fed but little so
far. The open winter has made it
possible to run sheep on the range
during the entire winter season so
far with the result that hay has been
saved and sheep are in better condi-
ton than ever before in the history
of the county.
There has been no sudden change
in the weather to break the texture
of the wool and the clip promises to
be heavy and of excellent quality this
spring, according to all the sheep
men. Even a spell of cold weather
this late in the year could not dam
age the staple of the wool, it is said.
That the average weight of the
flece for Umatilla county will go nine
pounds or better is the opinion Of
those who have made estimates of
the clip and that the prices will be
higher than usual is also believed
and from every standpoint the outlook
for the sheep industry in Umatilla
county is excellent.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE preser.
walton Of the entity of China by being
in a position to emphatically protest
against any proposed Japanese ag-
gressions In Manchuria, 1t is stated
is the real underlying cause Of the
Pacific fleets around the world jour-
ney.
Several months ago 1t was stated
rather obscurely, that the real sig
nificance of the fleets tour was based
on affairs within the flowery king
dom rather than any fear of the even
Qualities growing out Of the immigra-
tion question with Japan.
AS time goes on it is apparent that
the immigration question will never
become the basis for a crisis in the
American-Japanese relations. Ja-
pans almost avowed intention to
make Manchuria her own, however,
may soon give Baron Takahira, the
new ambassador, plenty to do.
The position of the United States
on bis question is plain. The late
Secretary Hays famous note of July,
1900, settled the policy Of America in
relation to China for many years to
come.
In a circular note he stated that
the efforts of the United States
would always be devoted to the So
luton of Chinese affairs which may
bring about permanent peace and
preserve the Chinese territorial and
administrative entity and safeguard
TO all the world equal and impartial
trade with all parts of the Chinese
empire. This is still the attitude o,
the government.
Japan's increasingly arrogant atti-
tude toward the empire and her ap-
parent disregard for all treaty stipu-
lations in relation to railroad tele-
graph and trade and her refusal to
reduce and retire the armed force in
the province, If continued, may bring
about situation in which the pres
ence of large American fleet close
at hand will do much towards
strengthening our hands when the
time of sharp protest arrives.

Salem, Ore. Feb. 17.--In a letter
to the Capitol Journal, Senator
Bourne again reiterated the belief that
Roosevelt would be the republican
nominee at Chicago.
Senator Fulton declared his belief
that Taft would be the man. although
sentiment In the south for Knox
might land the prize for the Penn
sylvanian.
Bourne said: Taft will not be
nominated. In my judgment Roose-
welt will be nominated. Too many
favorlte sons are opposed TO Taft,
who is not popular in his own right.
Public p'nlon will stampede the con-
vention for Roosevelt"
Fulton said: THE Taft sentiment
is growing in the east. 1t looks as II
his nomination was certain. There is
quite a sentiment for Knox in the
south and he may be the nominee.
Knox is a good man."
