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
