OREGON SHEEP
REPORTED CLEAN
INVESTIGATION FOLLOWS
EXCLUSION BY OTHER STATES
Reported That Oregon Sheep Are
Affected With Diseases and They
Are Excluded From Montana and
Wyoming-Inspector Lytlc Says
Sheep of the State Are Clean.

BY a resolution adopted at a meet
ing of the Oregon state board OF
sheep commissioners held in Port
land Monday afternoon the states OF
Montana and Wyoming are to be ask
ed to modify the rigid laws which
they have passed in an effort to ex-
clude Oregon sheep from their
boundaries, The laws were passed by
the legislatures of the states named
because it was claimed by the grow
ers that a certain venereal disease
prevalent throughout the flocks of
woolbearers in Wyoming, especially,
had been introduced by sheep ship
ped from oregon.
Following the receipt of complaints
from Wyoming sheepmen, Dan p.
Smythe of Pendleton, A. l.. Mackin-
tosh of Paulina and Charles Cleve-
land Of Gresham, who constitute the
board of sheep commissioners from
Oregon, inaugurated a rigid and thor
ough inspection of all the wool grow
ing districts of the state, says the
Portland Journal. Oregon has been
raked by a corps of inspectors under
the direction of DR.. W. II. Lytle, state
sheep inspector, and S. w, Mcclure,
chief of the government bureau of
animal industry for oregon, Washing
ton and Idaho
Oregon sheep Are Clean.
From the reports made TO the sheep
commission, that body declared yes
terday that Oregon sheep are abso-
lutely fee fom contagion of all kinds.
and II is hoped that, with the assur
rance of the officials who have con-
Quoted the minute inspection of the
flocks for the past six months, the
authorities of other states will make
It easier for Oregon woolgrowers to
ship their product to outside ranges.
"The rumor that the disease found
in the Wyoming herds came from
Oregon has been shown to be base
less" said Commissioner Smythe yes
terday, "and we want the unjust
quarantine laws and other bars of
our exporting business disestablished.

If disease has ravaged the Wyoming
and Montana herds it came from some
other source than our state.
"A slight outbreak of scabies in
Harvey county was detected in the
early stages, but the scab was exter-
minated by the prompt action of our
inspectors in having the afflicted
herds dipped.
Willamette valley sheep are now
absolutely free from contagious dis
eases, although a year or two ago
scab was prevalent to some extent

Want Coyote Scalps.

Another thing the sheep commits
sioners did yesterday was to, order the
distribution of pamphlets explaining
to hunters the coyote bounty law
passed at the last session of the state
legislature. To guard against frauds
the bounty law makes explicit re-
qulrements in taking the scalps of
slain coyotes, To explain how to meet
these requirements will be the pur-
pose of the pamphlet. The bounty
for each coyote is $3.50 and in many
instances sheepmen have added to
this by paying additional rewards for
the good effect and has been instru-
mental in saving thousands of dol
lars to the growers of sheep.

Sheep Industry Prosperous.

Ihe prospects at this time were
never better for the sheep industry.
1t is almost a certain prediction that
the wool sales next spring will mark
n record price. The wool crop will be
of better quality than ever before.
owing to the strict inspection we have
instituted and to the education OF
growers
owing to the appropriation of
large parcels of the ranges for agri-
cultural purposes and to the restrc-
tions made by the federal govern
ment on the forest reserves the num-
ber of sheep is not quite so large as
in former years. and with the grad
ual disappearance of the open range
before the march of the homesteader
the number of sheep raised may be
expected to decrease, but in the Will
lamette valley growth has been
marked. More sheep are being rails
valley rams are being shipped to all
parts of the United Staes. Climatic
and other conditions have made Ore
gon the ideal sheep breeding station
and our products are in great de-
mand for stock purposes on alien
ranges The government statistics
show that Oregon sheep bear a heav-
ier percentage of wool than those of
any other state in the union.
"The ranges of the state this year
are extraordinarily good and the
herds are in fine condition. Wool
growers are optimistic over the out
look, Prosperity is everywhere the
prevailing tone"

TUNNEL IN sULPHIDE ORE, con-
FIRMiNG EXPECTATIONS OF
ENGINEER-NEWS CONSIDER
ED BEST HAD FROM PROPERTY

What undoubtedly will prove to be
the greatest and most important
strike ever made in the Yerington
possessions of the Mason Valley Co.
has just been registered in the find
ing of rich copper sulphides in the
lower tunnel level, the copper con-
tents of which assay 10 per cent,
says the Salt Lake Tribune. The
first intimation that such strike had
been made was a message from the
mine management to General Man
ager George e. Gum. received Satur-
day morning.
1t is the best message | ever re-
eeived from the management, said
Mr. Gum. Il believe it is the best
vein ore body which We have devel-
oped on the upper levels. The strike
Is decidedly important and pleasing"
In view of the proverbial con-
servatism of Mr.. Gum on any mining
proposition. the Importance of this
statement from him will be appreci-
ated by the local stockholders. The
value of the ore is such that little
doubt remains of this being the west
vein ore body. Ii will be recalled
that on the level above the manage
ment has opened this ore body for
over 900 feet, and there is no indi-
cation yet that this will be the real
length of the resource. The ore
ranges from 80 to 40 feet in width,
and is straight smelling product.
The lower tunnel for a eonsidera-
BILE time has been poking its way into
an ore shoot called the Replace
ment" body, to distinguish it from
the west vein ore. The former body
Is mainly of commercial grade, and
while the developments have been
important. the officials were waiting
for the find which was made Friday
evening. for this demonstrates be-
yond all question the continuity of
the smelling ores with depth. Less
than a week ago, Consulting Engi-
neer Lew HUMPHREYS stated to the
Tribune that the lower tunnel should
tap this ore at any shot, and he pre-
dicted that below the tunnel level
the largest and richest ore body SO
far found would be opened.

Winchester this connection is with
New college. Oxford. while at Elton it
is with Christ church. This peculiar
relation, however, Is not inf1exible, and
nan go out from these schools to en-
bridge.
There are many Englishmen to
whom the final test of a public school
Is found in its contrast to private" or
proprietary schools. And there are
many Of the latter that give most ex-
cellent drill, n have standards as
high as h best of the schools we are
considering. But by no stretch of the
British imagination are they looked
upon as permanent. The public
schools, on the contrary, in the eyes
of the law and in the thought Of the
nation, are immortal. A school with
less than 100 boys in attendance would
never be termed a public school. It
may have more than the requisite num-
Der and still be only a private tnstitu-
ton.
Although the scholarship Of the pub
lie hoo is OF a high order and the
lever boy receives special attention, a
certain amount Of freedom Is granted
which a smaller or different school
would not permit. Indeed, in some OF
the older schools, the rules and regu-
lations are reduced to their lowest,
terms. The discipline IS largely in,
trusted to the boys themselves, and so.
strong is the element of tradition and
the inherited sentiment of the student
body that. it is claimed, a far better re-;
suit is obtained by this method in the
character of the boy. His larger liber-I
ty makes him free from certain ordi-I
nary requirements Of a boarding;
school; but his restrictions are in the
school body itself, and seldom does one
have the hardwood to break through
its unwritten laws.
