While Not as Serious as Reported at
First, Still the Deaths in Sheep
Bands are Worst in Years.
COMPLETE LIST NOT LEARNED
Most Serious Loss So Fur as Known Isl
That Of Joseph Menesse, 1000 Of
Whose Ewes Are Dead-Stanfield
Brothers May Exceed This-LOsses
Confined to Shorn Ewes.

The providential aid that is suppos-
ed to shelter the shorn lamb was not
in evidence in Umatilla county yes
terday and as a result some heavy
losses were inflicted upon sheepmen.
particularly in the Echo country.
These losses while not as serious as
given by wild rumors in circulation
are the worst in years.
After a careful inquiry among the
sheepmen of the west end country the
East Oregonian's Echo correspondent
reported by telephone this afternoon
as follows:
The most serious loss actually re-
ported is by Joseph Menesse who gives
his loss at 1000 ewes.
The stanfield brothers loss will
probably exceed this but definite
statement as to the loss was not OBJ.
tainable. 1t Is feared the Stanfield
loss will be in the thousands. as they
run many sheep.
Will Pedro gives his loss at from
400 to 500 hfef
The losses are confined almost en-
tirely to the shorn ewes.
Reports received in Pendleton TO-
day state that the ]. E. Smith COM
panys loss will be between $50 and
400 head.
1t is reported that the loss on the
William Slusher ranch will exceed 200
unless the owners are very fortunate
Apparently the heavy losses are al
In the lower country and not among
the sheep closer to the foothills. This
is partly due to the fact shearing was
done earlier in the lower country. II
is said the Smith company have had
no losses at their Pilot Rock ranch.
The loss at the Cunningham COM
panys ranch near Pilot Rock is given
as very light.
