which put an entirely new face on pre-
vaillng conditions. Some of this was
for the smelters and little for tho
south. but the bulk OF the shipments
WAS for Salt Lake. The Utah Fuel
company continues to ship In heavily,
so taken all in all, the situation Is not
over strenuous. Up TO Saturday, the
weather was such in Wyoming that
getting through coal on anything like
schedule time was impossible. But now
that IL Is moderating. and easier going
conditions prevail. coal shipments can
be forwarded with greater facility
Some dealers are ono and tw0 days

select disintercsted person and the two
thcn select a third, the three to con-
stitute q board OF arbitration. both
sides to abide by the agreement OF the

In the expense
The matter was taken under ndvise-
ment until this morning when COM
mitteo OF journeymen plumbers mado
answer to the offer and fatty refused
1t. Now, the strike is still on. and tho
solution of the trouble Is no nearer
than 1t was several months ago.
The master plumbers declare they
will bother with the matter no longer
and are planning now to import more
men from other states.
Many of the master plumbers have
been In communication With their fell
low craftsmen of other cities and II is
expected that within few days a big
force of men will arrive here to take
the place OF the strikers, 1t is said the
Journeymen do not take kindly to the

HAY CREEK RANCH
FORCED TO QUIT
Effect OF Conservation Policy In Re-
duclng Range Is Held
Out as Cause.
Especial TO The NewsO

| Portland. or. Jan e.-America's IS

Gus Hay Creek ranch. Crook county
Or. is going to stop business as a &C.
suit of the conservation policy OF the
United States forestry department. All
of the hocks. numbering over 2o.oOo
high bred sheep. are to be sold and the
ranch closed down.
The Hay Creek ranch formerly had
no less than 10000 sheep on It's ranges.
In summer the sheep would be srazed
on the forest reserves OF the Blue
mountains. this being allowed by the
government under certain restrictions
The grazing area has been reduced
from time to time and notice has just
been received of further reductions.
In 1906 tho Hay Creek company had
Its maximum of stock on the forest re-
serves when the focks numbered 10000.
Notice of restrictions in grazing area
werc received and the flock cut to 10
per cent. In 1909 another cut of 40
per cent was made in available graz
ing territory A vigorous protest was
made and the cut reduced to % per
cent. For the coming year notice was
given of reduction In grazing lands
of 30 per cent.
The grazing area In the forest re-
serve has been reduced now to a point
where II Is no longer possible to run
the Hay Creek ranch profitably,'
said j. G. Edwards. manager and
principal owner of the ranch. THE last
reduction made by the department cuts
us down to about 1900 sheep which
practically puts us out OF business |
mean no criticism of the government
but these are the facts. In IL months l
expect to have our entire sheep hold
ings sold out
The Hay Creek ranch has exported
annually about 1000 fancy rams. For
years the company has owned the only
pure bred French Rambouilet flock In
this country and has jealously guarded
1t from competition. Decided lands of
the ranch comprise about 27.000 acros.
Because of the big output of wool of
the Hay Creek ranch Shaniko, Or,
the nearest railroad station, has long
been the largest point OF origin of wool
shipments In the Pacific northwest.

THE FARMERS SIDE
OF the Butter and Milk Question

or the Butter and Milk Question.
Editor News
A recent correspondent In his effort
to satisfy the consumers OF butter and
milk In Salt Lake. says that the farn-
ers are the cnes who get the money. I
feel sure that II the people were fully
conyersant with the facts the writer
would have to put up a different story
We know of hundreds of farmers who
started to sell their cream to the
creamerieS because they were told by
the butter trust that they could mako
moro money by selling their cream than
they could by making butter for the
market
Tho farmers that tried II were very
much dissatisfied with tho outcome
Their testimonies can be had that there
Is more money In making butter for 20
and % cents per pound than selling
their cream to the largo creameries. or
course there are some who would rather
sell their cream than TO bother about
buttor making regardless OF the profit.
Now let's see by figures IL the farmers
are responsible for the unreasonable
prices OF tho dairy product as tho
correspondent claims. We have told
you what hundreds of farmers have to
say about selling cream to the COM
blnc. and the writer can be counted
among the number. The farmers that
live within driving distance OF Salt
Lake get IL and II cents per gallon for
their milk; while those living at moro
remote points, get from 6 to s cents
per gallon.
We want the consumer to know that
the milk as the farmers ship 1t, has
tho richness of the genuine article.
The people OF Salt Lake are paying
from 20 to S3k cents per gallon for
II H. .t.t- l. -
times as much as the farmers arc got

people got the money, his statements
