Editor Gazette : On Sunday, the 12th day of January, the debates from Oregon selected to KO td the National Woolg rowers' Con vention at Helena, Montana, met at Pendleton, and with streaming banners attached to a special Poilman, a special ageut and porter to accompany them, with rousinir cheers and waviug of hand kerchiefs from the ladies of Pendleton, sUrted on their two days journey and after a pleasant and uneventful trip over the O. R. & N. road to Spokane and from there ov ir the Great Northern, the bunch arrived without the lies of one, owing to the great care exercised by the agent sent In charge. If toe two com peting roads had an object in view they certainly deserve to obtain it (if consis tent) tor the royfcl way they treated this delegation in p oviding for its welfare and comfort. On arriving at Helena we helped to enlarge one of the largest gatherings of sheep nren it has ever been my good for tune to mix jup with. Dr. Wilson, of Wyoming, (the Doc. we all know) acted as president and opened up with a good speech. He in troduced some a arming statistics on woof and mutton products, the value of the same, and also the increased con sumption and the increa'e n population for the last 40 years, a part of which I will endeavor to give in this letter. Other speeches followed. One by Thomas J. Walsh, and one by Governor Brooks of Wyoming, which for oratory and good language would be very hard to beat. It went to show how antagonist mc the people of those states are to the present policy uf the forest reserve. This, however, is only to be expee'ed as the states of Montana and Wyoming are only now passing through the same per iod that the eastern part nf Oifgon and Washington passed through 25 years ago, wiien the farmer and small stock rancher invaded this country and broke up to a certain extent the reign of many of the nomadic bands of cattle and sheep 'hat used to roam at large, and that even'ually must come, in a measure, to the rest of the Western states. The majority of stockmen of Oregon are not ouposed to the creation of forest reserves for the protection of timber for future posterity, but it is the rulings laid down in regard to the grazing of thes( forests and . managed, or rather mismanaged, by preconceived notions of underpaid men who are partial to one man's interests and prejudiced againgt another that will eventual y, if allowed to continue, cripple and destroy indus trie that have tak -n a li'etime of hard work and strict a tentiou to business to build up, which is just as essential to future posterity as the pruteition of trees for timber. The first dav of the meeting was de voted to speech making and the reading of papers, and Wednesday afternoon tin tU legates visited the Mid-Winter Sheep Show, which, by the way, exhibited some excellent typps of sheep, mostly of the coarse or mutton breeds ; and on Thursday the real business began. The delegates f'om Oregon selected a committee to draft a set of resolutions to be handed in tolhe national commit tee on resolution - and succeeded in get ting quite a few embodied in the nation al resolutions. But some were discard ed on account of being too local a nature. Dan P. Smvthe, of Pendleton, was se lected as one on the nati onal committee C. O. Huelat on resolutions and did good work to Oregon, and if the convention couir have prevailed upon Dr. Wilson to accept the nomination for president, our delegation would have landed the vice-president's place hands down. $10,0)0 was than raised by individual subscription for the purpose of reore sen Ing the livestock interests at Wash Ington. In this the delegation from Oregon came to the front to the amount of about f 900. After a short meeting of tbe executive committee, on which one of the dele gates from Morrow county was appoint ed, to bond the treasurer and attend to a few other matters, the convention ad journed to meet again at Pocatella, Ida' ho, next year. Helena is a beautiful city, built as it i at the foot of Mt. S. Helens, and commands a grand panoramic view of the Kocky Mountains with their spires and domes, and if one could forget for a moment that be was io the new world, it would not take a very great stretch of the imaginxtion for him to think thathe was ' eholding a city in Europe of an cient castles. But, however, about the only oa ties the average American builds is usually in the air. We have no time for others. Dr. Wilson in his speech said that there had not been auy practical increase in sheep for the past 40 years, yet the inoreased consumption of mutton for tbe past 16 years has been over 400 per cent. And today, according to govern ment statistics, there a-e 36 per cent of all the sheep flocks of the United States needed for mutton. If the Increase keeps up we shall not have mutton enough in the whole country in ten yeare to supply the demand. The in crease in sheep the pant 40 years has been 29 8 per cent; the inc esse in pop ulation, 176 4 per cent, and the increase n tbe consumption of mutton, 400 per cent. Be further stated that the value of the entire wool clip b'th pulled and fleece in the. United Stales for the year 1907 was 37S -03.165, and the value of mutton for the same period was 8(!4, 165,795, making a grand total of $142.- 42Sk). So. if we keep on plowing up our land for wheat, increasing our popn.ation, incieasiug our demand for mutton, in creasing our forest reserves, and cutting down the number of sfTeep every year at the sme rate we have b en, the wo'ld wil wake up some day iu the not far distant future to the fact ttiat it has plenty of bread, plenty of timber, and i ther .r aterial from mother eafth for buildiug purposes, but is short, terribly short, of that most .essential of all fab ics, wool. Then it will be that no one but the very rich will he able to wear woolen clothes. Tbe man of moderate means may perhaps be able to wear cot ton and shoddy clothes cast off" from our more fortunate brother, but pity the poor devil that has to go back to sack cloth or fig leaves no matter how well he m v he fed. So I say to the sheep ra:ser, hold on t your s-heep, hold on to your sheep 'ange, make the best ter ms possible with Uucle Sam tor his range, for it will not he very long in place or putting a boun ty on sheep scalps, and also sheepmen's scalps, he will be offering a premium to any man owning an acre of laud if be will raise a sheep on it. After laying over at Great Fall and Spokane long enough to take in those cities, the delegates arrived in Pendle ton. There with many handshakes and promises to meet again next year at Pocatella, we parted, each one for Lis respective district. x W. B. B. Timber Land,. Act June 8, U78. NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION.
