Sheepmen Must Awake.

THE sheepmen seem to have lost
interest in the situation and should
awake and write letters to Senators
Bourne and Chamberlain, explaining
their views on the tariff question
Wool growing is one Of the leading in
dustries of the state, one upon which
thousands of people are dependent,
and therefore schedule K should re-
ceive the solid endorsement of the
Oregon delegation. I hope that the
sheepmen, merchants, bankers and
all interested in the welfare of the
industry will write asking that the
wool tariff be referred to the tariff
commission. Woolgrowers have moth
entire people If the facts are made
known.
Smythe Is Optimistic.
"If the matter is gone at slowly.
conservatively and wisely, the wool
and sheep business should come back
to its old stability, but the expense
of running sheep is now so much
higher, that any monkey business
will mean utter ruin to the industry.
I take an optimistic view, however.
and believe that the woolgrowers will
get fair price this spring"
In speaking of the wool sales dates
which have been in vogue for several
years, he stated that the buyers are
making no effort to fix the dates and
that the growers would probably do
it themselves. He predicted that
much of the 1911 clip will be sold at
private sale.

Attorney Lane in Minneapolis Ex-

Minneapolis, Oct. 12-Freeman P
Lane, one of the attorneys for DR.
Dumas, who was convicted Monday
of an attempt to commit arson, is
confident the supreme court will dis
miss the case. Mr.. Lane declares
there is no possibility for DR.. Dumas
conviction being sustained in the SUI
preme court .s.ssz
There seems to be a misunder-
standing about the status of the
case He said there has been no
appeal
The court is simply certifying the
case to the supreme court. After the
evidence for the state was submit
ted, we asked for dismissal, basing
our motion on the proposition that
there was absolutely no testimony
tending to show that Dr. Dumas, Mar
tin Behan, Mike Davis, or anybody
else ever attempted to set fire to the
store in Puposky DR.. Dumas was
charged with attempting to burn
The judge declared he ought to
grant the motion and that he was
convinced the point. was well taken,
but that owing to expense involved
and the unusual character of the
case, he had decided to let the trial
proceed and certify the case to the
supreme court for decision on mo-
ton for dismissal"
