THOUSANDS OF SHEEP NOW GRAZING ON
THE FOREST RESERVE NEAR LEAvENWORTH
This Industry Rapidly Becoming One of the Most Important
In the Upper Wenatdee VaNey-Over 200 Cars Shipped
From This Point Last Year

Within the area of the United
States Forest Reserve in Chelan
county, comprising both the Wenat-
chez forest and the Chelan forest,
as open range, sheep grazing has
become during the last ten years
one of the important industries of
this section. At the present writ
ing, approximately one-quarter of a
million sheep are fattened annual
" on these forest reserves, the
season for grazing them in the re-
serves running from the first of
June until the last of September,
when the animals which are to held
over for the season are driven back
over the mountains to their home
ranches in Kittitas, Yakima and
Benton counties.
This range is excellent for sheep,
the animals finding many sorts of
grasses which make the finest
sheep provender, such as bunch
grass of many kinds, pine grasses,
all sorts of wild peas and beans, or
legumes, as they are scientifically
known, and many weeds which
make good feed A band of sheep
after grazing over a section of the
reserve, leave it swept as clean of
nnderbrush as If it had been gone
over with a vacuum cleaner, and
their aid in this manner in the pre-
vention of forest fires is of inesti-
mable value to the county. They
undoubtedly save in this manner
many thousands of dollars to the
public domain every year.
I Another fact that is not generally
known is that every sheep which
uses the range pays taxes to the
county. They generally are herded
in bands of 1900, under the care
of a herder and packer, and every
sheep is subject to grazing fee of
from five to six and one-half cents
according to the length of the sea-
son. This fee Is for sheep over
six months old. The income to the

United States from this source is
over $4,000 annually. and of this
amount % per cent is paid directly
into the county school and road
funds. Also 10 per cent of this
amount is used by the United States
in making roads in the forest re-
serve, so that in reality, 35 per
cent is the amount which the coun-
ty actually gets the benefit of. Even
though the sheep are not owned
here. they pay this tax to the
county.
The city of Leavenworth bene-
fits directly from this industry in
large degree. Every band of
sheep has its guardians and these
herders. packers, and the like all
buy much of their supplies in this
city, which is the last city they
strike before going onto the range.
1t has been estimated that over
$150,000 per year is spent with the
merchants of Leavenworth by these
sheep men Nor supplies. 1t is a
common sight to see pack trains
containing as many as thirty or
forty animals come to the city with
empty saddle bags, and leave with
every pack saddle bullying with all
sorts of groceries. Not only that,
but the herders are we'll paid men,
getting as high as $50 per month
and all expenses. and they spend
much money with the different
firms in the city.
Leavenworth is becoming known
as meat shipping centre through
the grazing industry as every year
much mutton is sent from this city,
mostly to Puget Sound points, but
also in lesser quantity to eastern
points, Chicago, Omaha and other
packing centres. Last year over
200 carloads were shipped from this
city, and that may be taken as a
fair average for the last five years
About 20 large owners make use
of this free range, most of them

The change from the present location
will be made about the last of this
month when the Office will be located

The office is now located in the

advantage of having these herds
Craze over the reserves vastly out
weighs the drawbacks. These sheep
pay taxes to the county, they make
trails which are of great benefit to
the forests, they are a great factor
in fire prevention, and they are the
medium of bringing much actual
cash into circulation throughout the
county through the supplies used by
their guardians and bought all
through the county.

of TampicO and Vera Cruz in the event
that Huerta refused to make repara-
ton to the United States.

Flood said the approval of congress
for q blockade was not absolutely es-

sanction in the event such steps be-
come necessary.
No Party Lines.
it was stated by members repre-
senting the three house parties that
no partisan atfiliation figured in to-
days meeting of the committee and
