PAPER MAKES MISTAKES
Sheep Are Not Perishing on Baker

Mountains

Sheep Are Not Perishing on Baker
County Rnges and No Attempt Is
Being Made to Change Name Of
Mountains.
DR.. S. W. Mcclure, head of the
federal quarantine work, Indignantly
repudiates an interview which appear
ed in the Tribune yesterday morning
and which was credited to Federal
Inspector Young" In substance the
interview stated that 100000 Baker
county sheep were dying from
drought.
1--WE have no inspector named
Young and never did have any man
by that name" declared DIR. Mcclure
to the East Oregonian this morning.
"Our man who has been working in
Baker county reports that the ranges
there are somewhat dry, but that no
serious conditions prevail. During
the last three weeks more than 3O,-
coo head Of sheep have heen shipped
from this section into Baker county
and Baker county buyers are now at
Heppner buying sheep to place on
Baker ranges. This they certainly
would not be doing If there was no
feed for sheep on the ranges of that
county"
Another Journalistic Blunfler.
In this mornings issue of the morn
ing paper appeared another startling
error in the form of story concern
ing the alleged changing Of the name
OF the Blue mountains by the forestry
bureau. According to the morning
papers story Clifford Pinchot, chief
forester, has taken upon himself to
abolish the time honored name Of the
range that runs diagonally through
eastern oregon.
But instead of tampering with the
name of the Blue mountains the for
estry bureau has merely changed the
designations OF the forest reserve. In
the past the Blue Mountains have been
divided into the eastern and western
divisions of the Blue mountain re-
serves, the Heppner reserve and the
Wenaha reserves. By the order just
promulgated the eastern division will
henceforth be classed as the Whitman
/ reserve, while the name Umatilla will
be applied to the Blue mountain re-
serve. By the change the official
titles of the reserves will be greatly
shortened and no serious harm should
result therefrom. No attempt is made
to change the name of the mountain
range.
