East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1914-01-10

Year ago the condition or the mar |
ket just now is discouraging from the
fact that those who are feeding paid
more for their feeders than they did
n year ago.
Cattlcnncn Here March IL - The
first annual meeting of the Cattle and
Horse Raisers' association of Oregon
has been called by President William
| Pollman to be held in Pendleton the
| third Tuesday in March, the 18th. The
annual election will be held and a
! big attendance is expected.
Paramount in the work of the
meeting will be the consideration OF
a report by committee which is
preparing and drafting proper
brand inspection law. The session
! will then submit it to the legislature.
| 1t Is believed favorable action will
be taken by the state body inasmuch
as there will be no expense to the
state. The cattlemen will under the
terms of the law, themselves pay for
the inspection while it is held the
county will save materially through
| uSCTtdStu Cdttlt anu
decreased prosecutions.
Secretary S. O. Carroll Of Baker,
declares that the livestock meeting
at Portland last month had done
much for the association and that
as result applications for member
ship are pouring in daily. An appli-
, cation has been received from a
southern Oregon cattleman who owns
1890 head of cattle and $50 horses.
3 Secretary Correll is now preparing
, brand book showing every brand
, used by each member of the associa-
, ton. These are left with inspectors
at the livestock yards at Portland
: and every head of cattle sent in there
l is inspected as to brand and thefts
, stopped or traced in this way.

yesterday. He states that the Stan

of letter from a Mr.. Devine, who

Yakima, stating that he will visit the
Furnish project soon with view to

, makes it a desirable location for a
I condensory Such a factory would
\ prove a great benefit to the dairy
men fnasmuch as the milk as well as
