TWENTY THOUSAND SHEEP LOST It is conservatively estimated by Uma tilla county sheepmen that at least 20,000 head of sheep perished during the recent high water and heavy snows in the mount ains in Umatilla and Morrow counties. While the individual losses have not al been listed, enough have been reported to bring the approximate loss up to this num ber in the two counties. Almost every sheepman in the two counties lost from 1 00 to 500 head, and as there are about 55 sheepmen in the two counties, it it easily seen that a total of 20,000; at the average loss reported, would be a conser vative estimate. While the aggregate loss in the two counties is heavy, yet the individual losses are so light tint they will not be noticed in he volume of business of the year. At least one-half of the number which perished was lambs, the other being newly sheared sheep which were caught in th high monntains soon aft r shearing. As all the sheep men in both counties en joyed a large peisentage of lambs this year they are not complaining. The loss by the cold weather is but little more than would have been occasioned by a week's cold weather buring lambing seas son. East Oregoman. .
