gage in the winter fattening OF NUT
ton. There is large and important
field awaiting the development of this
industry Such an industry would
insure the perpetuity of wheat pro-
duction for it would supply an admir-
able means of maintaining the fertil-
ity of the soil. The trainloads OF
oregon stock sheep that annually in
wade the corn sections of the middle
states should be fattened on the
wheat farms of the Columbia river
basin. Many supplemental crops
may be successfully grown in that
section. The field pea. alfalfa, rape
corn, etc, can be grown and these
can all be utilized to splendid advan-
tage in fattening sheep.
"There is an excellent local mar
ket developing for good mutton; this
will be materially augmented by the
recently established modern stock
wards at Portland. Thus the outlook
is indeed very flattering for the
continued prosperity Of sheep hus-
bandry."
This Afternoon.
This afternoon the convention is
listening to number Of addresses by
prominent men from various portions
Of the state q. c. Maris, editor of
the Rural Spirit of Portland, was the
first speaker and discussed the sub
ject of sheep breeding in the VILLAIN
ette valley. At the conclusion Of his
address the convention voted, upon
motion of DR.. S. w. Mcclure, to make
the Rural Spirit the official organ of
the association.
Following Mr.. Maris DR.. James

Ballinger and Pinchot Both Wrong.
The problem which confronts the
nation is too complicated to be ad-
| justed by an alignment with either
Ballinger or Pinchot In some de-
gree both are right Probably in
equally large degree both are wrong.
The problems upon which they diff
fer might better be solved by practi-
cal men who by experience and di-
rect observation know the peculiar
conditions which obtain throughout
the timbered range, the summer pas
ture ground of millions of sheep,
| horses and cattle.
The problems presented are not so
much those of material principles as
OF detail and operation. Forest con-
servation has come to stay. It's op-
Grafton as touching the use of the
range and the utilities touching the
lands within the national forests, is
yet theoretical, and too greatly tine
tured with absolutism. The allot-
ment of the range, the number Of
animals permitted thereon, the char
acter Of lands properly included
therein, are questions in which all the
people are interested, and their ad-
justment should not be left to the
sole determination of the bureauo-
cracy of the government or to the
whim Of any representative I'm the
field. However honest the govern
mental officials may be, however ca
pable, the final determination Of dis
puted questions by one man is hos
tile to the spirit Of our institutions.
There is too much of an inclination
in all the departments of the Wash
ington government to stand by their
representatives regardless of the pro-
tests of the people. This criticism
is not applicable alone to the forest
ry service. 1t is applicable to sub
stantially all the bureaus. There
must be devised some tribunal of last
resort to be composed of disinterested
men in the several states who will
hear both sides of a controversy and
determine it upon its merits.
Without criticism of individuals |
would suggest that this forestry
range and power problem will never
be satisfactorily settled until there
is established by law court of al
lotment in each state where there is
national forest whose duty it shall
be to determine after full hearing the
interests of the government and of
the people who desire to use the for

"The Mutton Side. -


At the afternoon session, DR.
Withycombe, director of the expert
ment station at the Oregon agricul-
tural college, addressed the assembly
on THE Mutton Side of Wool Grow
ing"
sheep husbandry" he said," at
present is one of the most prosper
Gus of our livestock industries. Wool
growers have had their lean and fat
years, but Dame Fortune has GER
tainly bestowed generous gifts to the
industry in the form of financial re-
turns during the past season. 1t is
pleasing to know that sheep husband
ry is coming into its own. The in
dustry has had its vicissitudes through
adverse legislation and unwise de-
partmental regulations, but fortu-
nately it has survived them all until
today it is in an exceedingly prosper
Gus condition. Fortunately for the
industry it has been safe-guarded by
strong organizations and the officers
and members of the Oregon Wool
growers association are entitled to
the congratulations and commenda-
tions of every citizen of the state for
their well-directed energies and tire
less work in behalf of their vocation.
Range sheep husbandry is one of
those industries that creates abso-
lutely new money from material that
could scarcely be utilized in any 9TH
er way. Thus the seven to ten mill
lion dollars that flow annually
through the avenues of trade in this
state is now money virtually derived
from vegetation that would otherwise
largely go to waste were it, not for
the brains and energy of our sheep
men.
Despite the phenomenal prosperity
which surrounds the industry today,
owing largely to the high price of
wool, it is not perhaps for the best
interest Of the industry to depend too |
largely on wool production alone.
There is a splendid field for mutton |
production. Americans are rapidly |
developing a preference for good NUT |
on and the day is not far distant |
when we shall be classed as a NUT |
on consuming people. This is fair
y we'll indicated from the fact that |
10000 Idaho lambs sold in the Chi
ago market the past season for 81 |

'4.25 per head. A large shipment

ambs sold in the same market for
$3.50 per cwt, thus netting the own

indicate the trend of de-
nand for mutton.

lave Merino blood. This is indis-
to meet the peculiar en-
ronment. No other breed will take
he place of the Merno for strictly
ange conditions. They keep health
er and herd much better than any
ther breed. There are. however.
lany instances where they may be
rossed with the mutton breeds with
cry profitable results to the owner.
'rices of mutton are less liable to
Iuctuate than are those of wool
ence the production of mutton will
prove the more stable. In
rossing, however, pure bred sires
hould be used. There are alto
ether too many grade sires Of the
mutton breeds finding their way into

MONETARY MATTERS
 TALKED AT BEVERLY ALDRlcH AND POSTAL SAVINGS
 BANK. Senator Not Opposed, but Thinks Time
 Has Not Come.

Beverly, Aug. 26.-The president had two-and- la half hours talk this afternoon with MT. Aldrich and Secre- tary MacVeagh. MT. Aldrich is about to take up the adjustment of the coun- try's monetary system, and it was in this connection that he was called in conference by the president. MT. Taft was anxious to ascertain whether the monetary commission would be ready to report this winter. It was under stood that no definite answer was given, but the chances are that the commission will not be able to place it's conclusion before congress for sev- eral months. There has been talk of calling congress in extra session in the fall of 1910 to begin the considera- ton of legislation looking to the enactment of such changes in the monetary system as the commission may deem expedient. MT. Aldrich will sail for Europe on Saturday to study the financial systems of leading Euro- pean countries.
 Mir. Aldrich would not discuss the subject of postal savings banks. It is not believed that he is altogether opppStu lO tile iueds put ne ITdHkly told the president that he thought the question. should await the enactment of monetary legislation.
 The question of the bond issues authorized in the new tariff bill was considered at the conference. Secre- tary MacVeagh said he had not pro- gressed much further than when he last saw the president with reference to selecting members of the new tariff commission.
 John Hays Hammond called on President Taft this afternoon. Mir Hammond will leave Monday for Arizona on business. He was invited to accompany the president through out his two-mOnths' trip, but he will join the party at Salt Lake City iii September.

Benzoete of Soda Officially
 Pronounced Harmless BY PURE FOOD DELEGATES
The Sentiment Was by No Means Unanimous - Pro posal to Leave Mooted wv h t I s w h i s k y !" Question to Washington.

Denver, Colo, Aug. 26.-President Roosevelt's famous Remsen referee board of consulting experts" was in dorsed by the convention of the As sociations of State and National Food and Dairy Departments today. After fight in which the term "medicated garbage" was used. the association approved of the use of benzoate of soda as a food preservative. The resolution of approval was adopted by a vote of 57 to 42. Secretary of Agri- culture Wilson was an attentive spec tator but was not a delegate.
 Voicing the sentiment of other op- posing states, Dr. J. s. Crumbine of Kansas said the time had not come when the people should accept as final the statement that benZoate of soda is a harmless preservatiye. He believed the resolution offered should be made more conservative and thus allow a further study of the subject. A committee appointed to 'investi- gate" the Remsen board, previously reported adversely to the boards find ings, declaring that benzoate promoted the practice of concealing unsanitary methods" and calling upon the presi- dent to. institute another investiga- tion on broader lines"
 The resolution adopted urges that more drastic laws relative to the la beling of oleomargerine be passed by congress; that congress be asked not to reduce the tax on colOred oleomar- gerine; that every state be urged to work in harmony in regard to the ma tional pure food laws; that the gov ernment institute further investiga- tions leading to purer foods; that the association eliminate from it's program any discussion of What is whisky" pending a settlement of that question at Washington; that President Taft, ex-President Roosevelt. the secretaries of agriculture, of commerce and labor and of the treasury be commended for their efforts to perfect the federal pure food laws.

SAYS HE WAS 4 PEON
 THE FIRST WITNESS
Opening Testimony Against Pressed
 Steel Car Company Officials.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 26.-The first testimony offered in the federal gov ernment investigation into the charges of peonage against officials of the Pressed Steel Car company in Schoen- vile, whose $500 employees are on strike, in which it is alleged force was used to compel imported laborers to work, developed late today.
 Alexander Friedman, a Hungarian, of New York said he was brought here fifteen days ago with 100 other men from New York under false i'm pressiOns. He said the workmen were given to understand that there was no strike at the works of the Pressed Steel Car cOmpany's works. Fried man stated that he had been at work in the plant a few days when he was asked if he did not want to make some overtime money, and when he replied affirmatively he was taken to the kitchen of the cOmmissary of the car plant and told to work there.
 Friedman said he refused and after so doing, he stated, he was roughly handled by the wOrkmen guards, who took him to the box car jail. The constabulary officers refused to lock him up, he testified.
