NATIONAL FORESTS
Resolutions Adopted by
Oregon Woolgrowers.

Tne following resolutions in re-
la:ioa to National Forests were
adopted at the recent meeting of
the Oregon Woolgrowers Associa-
tion:
WHEREAS, the interest OF the Wool
Growers and the symmetrical develop.
ment of the vast unsettled West are at
stake and are entitled to the attention
of the administration of the National
Forests by the general Government !;
the problems presented for solution
touch indirectly every other industry OF
the STATES wherein the forest areas have
been set apart; We believe that the
existing situation requires considerate
attention by all thinking men who are
interested in added wealth. increased
population and general prosperity, who
look into the ultimate future and not
alone at the present; just criticism
exists of the present methods OF ad-
miuistering the forest reserves;
We endorse the policy of the Govern.
ment in protecting the forests OF the
United States for future generations;
and we feel that for the benefit of our
posterity we have as deep an interest in
this question as any other citizen; and
as far as the forestry policy goes toward
tie preservation of our forests We are in
hearty accord. We believe that certain
evils exist in the administration OF the
forest reserves relative to the grazing of
livestock thereon which should be cor
rected.
But there is an honest difference of
Heppner gazette. [volume] (Heppner, Morrow County, Or.) 1892-1912, 1909-12-30

opinion among sheep men and the For
estrY ofhclals as TO the number OF ami
mails which may properly be grazed on
the several forest reserves, and in the
method and manner in handling the
fincks thereon. We. therefore. protest
against the continual reduction of focks
allowed within res .rves until full
hearing before some compe ent tribunal
can be had, and in this connection we
protest that by the methods now pur-
sued investments are being jeopardizsd
and fockmasters in many instances are
being gradually driven out of business,
thus producing q condition which BODIES
i'll not only of the future of the wool
growing industry, but to the prosperity
of the West where yet many decades
must elapse before the livestock status
OF the Old World and Eastern States
can obtain.
We believe that advisory boards are
Of some assistance in the administration
of reserves, yet in certain instances
their recommendations and reports have
been totally disregarded. owing to the
fact that advisory boards are not clothed
with sufficient power.
We recommend that instead of these
advisory boa ds Congress be urged to
pass law providing for the crea ton OF
a court in each state where the National
Forests are situated with power to hear
and settle the many questions which
arise between the forest officials and
citizens who desire to use the reserves
TOR home making, power purposes,
mining, timber cutting, range and graz
ng purposes, and all other uses to which
hese mighty segregated areas of the
country can properly be put, and that
his court be separate and apart from
he Forest Service officials who adr1nis.

DOUBLE
TRAGEDY
OLLIE SNYDER KILLS
ARTHUR GREENE
AND is MOBBED.
Many Reports Concerning
the Unfortunate
Affair.

Many stories and rumors are
afloat in relation to the double
tragedy in Grant county in which
Ollie Snyder shot and killed Ar
thur Greene and later Snyder was
taken away from Deputy Sheriff
Joe Cassidy and was shot to death
by mob.
The first report was: Ollie Sny-
der who is an old time sheep herd
er and an eccentric character, who
was herding sheep for VIM. Bey-
mer, and was camped at the Ben

Greene's body drove to Hamito,
on Saturday and there put up fo

Cassidy in charge of Snyder lef
Hamilton at o'clock Sunday
morning for Canyon City. Wher
only about two miles out from
Hamilton, a mob of armed mer
wearing masks stepped out from
behind trees and commanding the
officer to stop, took Snyder from
the buggy and riddled his body
with bullets.
From a Morrow county citizen
who came 10 from Monument
Monday, and who personally in
terviewed DR.. Norris, the Monu-
ment physician who acted as cor
oner in the case, more Information
has been learned.
DR.. Norris held an inquest over
Greene's body and from the rec
ord of his written testimony, per-
sona]ly stated that the evidence SO
far collected would indicate that
Snyder killed Greene in self de-
fense.
At the inquest, Snyder testified
that Greene and Beymer came to
his camp in highly intoxicated
condition and started the row.
That Greene attacked Snyder with
a knife, and in order to save his
life, grabbed the rifle, not having
time to a;e aim but shooting from
the hip the fatal shot.
When Greene's body was picked
up his knife was found lying under
him while Snvder's watch chain
had been severed with knife and |
his clothing was cut.
Snyder's body showed eight gun
shot wounds and the surroundings
would indicate that he was given
no show whatever for his life.

Watkins place about Is miles from
Hamilton, came in last Friday
evening with his sheep. He was
in an ugly mood, caused by trouble
that he had had in managing the
sheep dogs. AT the Watkins
camp, Arthur Greene who was
herding horses for A. L. Ayers,
and Chas. Beymer were also stop
ping. Snyder claimed that he
was going to kill one of the dogs
which belonged to Beymer and the
two men got into trouble. When
Greene started to act as peace
maker to stop the row, Snyder
grabbed up 25.35 Winchester re-
posting rifle and shot Greene
through the breast killing him in
stantly.
Beymer who was threatened
ran away III the darkness and
made his way to Oscar Schafer's
place, 5 miles away.
Saturday morning, posse went
to the Watkins place to arrest
Snyder and finding the fugitive on

has been provided for the librar,
books. The literary society meets
every Saturday evening, but every
alternate meeting is devoted to 6
spelling match. 1t is to be hoped
that other communities will arouse
lively interest IN spelling.
Tho following day, 1 drove from
Mr.. J. S. Young's ranch, where I
visited over night, to the school in
District No. 49. This school Is
taught by Miss Mary Gray. There
were thirteen pupils present. The
pupils are interested in their work
and are making excellent progress.
The door of the school house opens
outward; the windows are provided
with neat curtains; the black board
is fair, but there should be more
of it. The library books are we'll
kept. The school has an encyclo.
pedia, but no dictionary. The
walls are decorated tastily. A new
flag has been procured, but no ar
rangements have been made as vet
for displaying it outside. The
school board is planning to make a
number of improvements in the
building.
Several entertainments have
been given by the schools recently.
One - the Blackhorse schoolhouse
netted s51.0O; one at Fairview,
$4,000; and one at Liberty, $500.
The Fairview school mas purchased
two new flags, after paying for the
organ mentioned in my former
notes. The Blackhorse school paid

of their entertainment. The Lib.

LOOKING FOR FLAWS
Don't look for the flaws you go on through
life.
And even when you find them,
1t is wise and kind to be somewhat blind
Aud look for the virtue behind Il EN-;
For the cloudiest night has a amt scf light
Somewhere in the shadows hidi ng;
1t is better by far TO look for star
Than the spot on the sun abiding
The current of life runs ever ny
To the bosom Of Gods great .ean;
Don's set your force 'gainst the rivers course
And think to alter its motor.
Don't waste a curse on the uni serse-
Don't shrink at the trials be lore you;
Don't butt at the storm W fth your puny
form,
But bend and let it go DER IRON.
The world will never adjust Itself
To suit your whims TO the letter,
Some things mus 20 wron.E yonr whole life
long,
And the sooner you know It the better.
II is folly 10 fght with the infinite.
And GO ander at last in she wrestle,
The wisest man shapes into Gods plan
AS the water shapes into n vessel.

emphasize the fact that large part
of the power Of Christian Endeavor is
expended In preventing the necessity
Of helping people in lator life by max
ing them good citizens and good Chris
tians from the start. An important
part of the work of Christian Endeav-
or is preventive. II is more farreach7s

be. for the salvation OF the boy or the

The church needs to hold her own in
the struggle, and there is no crganiza-
ton better fitted than the Christian
Endeavor society to help her to do so.
1t takes hold where the Sunday school
