Kditor Crook County Journal.
Ii:a it Hue:
Recognizing that every business
in this county; its success or its
failure depend upon the wicccsi
or failure of the ?ariou stink in
Uresis of the county. I was ha-
iy to assist in organizing the
Crook County Stock Association
wherein the men engaged in the
various industries of producing
sheep, cattlemen and horiemen
w.nild meet together aUtatcd in-
fcrv.il and consult as to each
other's interest.
I noticed in the Journul of April
lfith, I'M an item of tho fact that
there hall heeu another sheep kill
ing ill thin county. You mention
ed the fact that at the meeting of
the Crook County Cottle Associ
ntioii, ii committee hail hern ap
pointed to confer with a like com
mittee of sheepmen to amicably
settle our anil all disputes arising
between individuals in relation to
range interests. 1 was celecttil as
one of that committee anil accept
ed the trust with tho announce
ment that my whole soul was with
the people of Crook county's Block
interests, anil that I believe if we
were able to holil Crook county
ranges for Crook county stock
there was iiniple for all and that I
would stand for Crook county
stock men's interest at all times as
against the invader. Hy the ap-
iint of the committee of which
you make mention that the Cattle
association recognized the fact
that them is an inherent weeklies
in human nature where the
article is to be had for the taking,
that there would lie cattlemen as
well as sheepmen who would claim
more than was their due shaiu of
ranging privilege nnd looking up
on their claim with the light shed
upon it from a bruin actuated with
self interest alone.
There was a necessity of eonie
jiersons ns a go between to recon
cile differences upon a reasonable
basis and as reasonable men pre
vent lawless action upon the part
of oiiy who might feel agrieved,
and thus prevent crime and pre
serve tlie fair reputation of the
people of this comity for fair deal
ing. 1 assisted in getting the Cas
cade Reserve opened for ranging
purposrs for the purpose of widen
ing the oportunity of sheepmen
more especially for summer rang
ing, thus bettering their condition
and incidentally leaving the foot
hills and plains in a better con
dition for the cattle industry. In
my visit to Antelopo last spring I
assisted in getting privileges for
some who neglected to even make
application. My object was to get
(or them what I knew they would
need later on, and by so doing in
one or two cases gave them an op
portunity to get away from disput
ed territory and prevent a tragedy
that might involve Crook county
in expensive criminal litigation.
At the meeting of the Crook Coun
ty Stoik Association the matter of
conllicting interests being spoken of
t Ho leading sheepmen of the county
headed by Mr. Thomas Lafollett
spoke oi tho ineompatability of
ranging cattle and sheep together
and was recognized that a fair ad
justment of ranging priveleges was
the only reasonable way to settle
the differences that might arise.
I did not attend the last meet
ing of the Crook County Stock As
sociation for the reason that I
deemed it more of a meeting of
sheepmen alone than a meeting of
all as I was informed that the
meeting was more for the allot
ment of ranges for sheep in the
cascade reserve than for other and
general purposes and would be a
sheepmen's meeting. I was in
hopes that some action would be
taken and a committee selected to
assist the committee from the cat
tle association to adjust rango dis
putes upon a reasonable basis, and
prevent the occurrence if possible

of either the Crook County Stock
Association or the Crook County,
Cattle Association; but is relying
Usin the law of sympathy that the
higher state of civilization will
not award. I have written person
ally in this article because I wish
the people of this county to know
just why I have done some things,
and that I am writting to assist in
bringing about a condition of har
mony of interest and prosperity to
every laudible effort in every busi
ness in which any and all may
lawfully engage. In the range
difficulties the wrong may be all
on one "tide or both may be wrong,
and stubomly refuse to concede
anything reasonable to the other.

they will be like the killing cats,

was nothing left but their tails ton)0Ves the cause the people always
waive defiance at each other. It
more than foolish. If they cannot
come together in open day and set
tle their troubles like men, call on
some one who will make adjust
ments for them. Call themselves
fools and abide by the jndgment
of others and he content to do fair
ly well and remember that this
world was not made in a day or a
year, and that patient endeavor
and the saving of the range will
hit their measure full and over
flowing. Come let us reason
getlier.

Wheiikas, In view of the loss
we have sustained by the decease
of our esteemed brother and associ-
ate, Charles E. McDowell, and to
the still heavier loss sustained by
those who were nearest and dear
est to him, therefore lie it;
Rksolvkd, That it is but a justj
tribute to the memory of the de
parted to say that in regretting his
removal from our midst we mourn
for one who 'was in every way
worthy of our respect an active
member of this lodge) a friend and
companion who was near and dear
to us; a citizen whose upright and
noble life won for him the esteem
and good will of all who knew
him; as a husband he was ever
kind and true. His exalted
virtue as a man, a citizen and a
friend still live in the the hearts
left behind to cheer, to guide and
to illuminate our pathway. His
example still lives.
Rksolvkd; That the heartfelt
sympathy of this temple be extend
ed to his wife in her affliction.
Rksolvkd; That the charter he
draped in mourning for a period of
thirty days, and that a copy of
these resolutions be spread upon
tho records of this lodge and one
be transmitted to the wife of the
deceased brother, and one to each
of the City newspapers for publi
cation.

.Southern newspapers arc outvy

the United States Weather Bureau.
Not only has the Bureau rendered
service in giving warnings of
frost, worth millions of dollars to
the sugar growers, say these edi
tors, but in the recent disastcrous
floods the timely warnings actually
minimized the injury done.
The Government has determined
upon an irrigation project on the
Salt River in Arizona which will
cost 12,500,000 and will, according
to the estimates, irrigate 200,000
acres of land from a reservoir
which will constitute the largest

Mr. Carnegie's generous offer, to
contribute the entire relief fund
for the Cornell students who have
suffered from an epidemic of ty
phoid fever, will be the means of
increasing still further the respect

Carnegie's philanthropy the most

An incident that occurred in the

every approach to the president is
guarded. An employe of the Yel

company was discovered by a
member of the Third cavalry five
miles from where the president
had made his camp. The man
probably was there on business,
but tho soldier asked no questions
and would listen to no explana

post headquarters at the point of a
pistol. There the man disclosed
his identity and was released. .

UeTlctr.
Dkar Sir:
Y'our article, "A foolish idea,"
seems rather uncalled for unless
for the purpose of creating a sen
sation and gaining for yourself
cheap popularity. If you had
wanted to turn down such senti
ment, why did you not turn the
piece down when it came to you in
the hands of the writer, instead of
accepting it and saying to him "It
is all right." The writer asked
your opinisn on it when he gave it
to you and your verdict was to the
above effect.
Now the writer of the article,
Give them Christian burial," is of
the same opinion that he was
when he wrote the article, and
feels that you have misrepresented
bis sentiments by exaggeration
and uncharitable distortion. We
advocated as a major proposition
"a christian burial." You have
made much out of the incidental
suggestion 'hat the sick be per
mitted the ministrations of the
pastor if so desired, even though
they have a contageous disease.
And I do not go back on that sug
gestion either. Having studied
medicine as thoroughly as some
practicing physicians, I am pre
pared to say that the pastor who
goes under the proper precautions
and directions of a good physician
can go and minister with no
danger to his family or his flock.
I would not of course advocate
such a course under any but the
most extreme necessity and prop
erly disinfected conditions. But if
any dying man or woman calls for
me, regardless of their disease or
sinful condition, it is my duty to
go ii possible and give them the
consolations of the Word. And
woe be unto the man or law that
would prevent it! "It were better
that a mill stone were tied about
bis neck and he cast into the sea."
Our Lord Jesus Christ has said
that they who neglected to "minis
ter unto one of the least of these
had done it not unto him." And
'whosoever had done it unto them
had so done unto him." In fact,
he lays the hole criterion of
judgement at the last great day
upon these omissions or commis
sions. See Matthew 25:41-46.
And again he has said that he who
would save his life should loose
it,' but he that should loose his
life for his sake and the gospel's
the same should save it. I am
not in a hurry to become a martyr
nor am I careless as to the inter
ests and health of others, but
think myself as loyal and law
abiding as yourself or any other
man; nor do I consider that any
tiling which my Lord and Master
advocated, "silly;" but I do con
sider that to follow his footsteps
and seek to minister to the needy
and the suffering and sorrowing,
is the wisdom, which the worldly
wise may not understand, but
which he esteems highly.
Sincerely,
That Pastor.
