DWINDIING OF SHEEP 90,
is BLAMED TO PINCIOT

Walla Walla, Wash, April "a
Shearing sheep in this county is about
over and the small number shorn
marks the near end of what was once
n great industry here, Five years
ago over one-fifth of million sheep
were pastured in Walla Walla county.
This year but 10000 are to he found
in the numerous bands that have been
collected for shearing.
This remarkable decrease is charg-
ed by some sheepmen to the Pinchot
conservation policy, which. they
claim. has robbed them of their free
ranges. The rapid decline in sheep
raising, they argue. began with the
enforcement of Pinchots policies.
Most of the sheep are now in the
Snake river and Touchet light land
sections.

gray-haired father broke down and
threw his arms about his sons
shoulder and wept silently az the
stern-faced Jurors filed from the
stuffy little courtroom.
