YATES SAYS BECOME ALMOST THE RANGES OF John Day, Ore., July 10. ! Editor East Oregonlan ln my trip through eastern Ore gon I find the cattle Industry ln a deplorable, dilapidated condition. You might call me a pessimist but my let ter to you will contain nothing but cold, undeniable facts. My travel south from Bitter takes me through a vast prairie covered v ith waving untopped bunch grass so high that if you were to rid through it on horseback on a dewy morning you would get your feet wet and not a slnsle head of cattle to be seen where but a few years ago thousands of cattle roamed and made the buy ers' paradise. Phlneus Foggs on his trip around the world In. eighty days in crossing the continent from Frisco to Newj York saw more buffalo than you could see cattle tuday were they all assem bled along the rallrond. They are like the buffalo and the Mohawk In dians, a fast dying and decaying race. In . proof of my assertion I will give statistics taken from the records of the forest reserve which shows two years ago permits were taken out for twoivn thousand head of cattle to rimer., nn thA renprvn wnup nit? ict- ords shows for the same district thlsjfor to make cheap meat for the sol- year onlv about seven hundred head.dprs In the aftermath horse prices The channel between the Increasing populalon and the decreasing number of cattle is widening each year and at the same ratio we will live to see the day when we will only see cattle In parks or r.oologlcal gardens and pay a fee to see them, the same as wo do the buffalo. The shipment of beef from Austral la will be looked upon with favoritism Instead of a menace to the American, erovver of today. My associations with the cattle growers ln my work among them through Oregon places me In a position to ascertain the facts. PRESIDENTS A NARROW ESCAPE '- HIS AUTf1 (CEDJ) LEAVE ROAD WINDSOR.
