of
For the second time this summer
committees of cattlemen and sheep
men have met to adjust the range
lines in the Blue mountains and to
prevent, so far as possible, the con
flicts between the two great indus
tries. The outlook for amicable
relations during the summer
months is encouraging, yet there is
always room for doubt and the
slightest enroachment of the sheep
men on the cattlemen's territory is
likely to cause serious results. It
is to be hoped that the range war
which had its beginning in Lalje
county a short time ago, ended
there so far as Central Oregon is
concerned, hut the fact remains
paramount that the same condi
tions which led to the wanton
slaughter of stock in the county on
the south, exist in even greater
proportions in the immediate dis
trict of the Blue mountains.
To the public at' large aud the
newspapers throughout the state
there seems to be no reason why
friendly relations should not exist
between the cattle growers and the
sheepmen. They can find no ex
cuse for a brutal killing of inno
cent sheep and are quick to con
demn when the lirst reports are
brought to light. Perhaps no man
or men are justified in killing in
nocent animals. The transgress
ion, if such it be, of wandering
onto forbidden territory, is not
theirs, nor are they to blame in
any way for being in a district
where they are driven. If there is
a misdemeanor in the act at all, it
belongs at the doors of the owner
of the flocks, and the killing of his
stock is only a measure of revenge
and warning one which has prov
en effective in most instances dur
ing the recent difficulties.
Yet when the root of the evil is
considered it is found that the
trouble does not altogether lie with
the sheep owner, but that it i8
traceable to existing conditions.
Conditions which the wisest are
wont to shirk when it comes to a
matter of changing or improving
them. Conditions which have
grown out of the country's progress,
development and settlement and
the consequent crowding together
of the Btock interests. Conditions
which have changed as the coun
ty changed, and which are con
stantly becoming more stringent,
and which will in the future be
come more menacing as both in
dustries tend to become larger and
the stock grows in number.
Here in Crook couuty the
trouble is not among the resident
owners of stock, nor was the
trouble in Lake county instigated
by conflicting local interests. It
is probable that if no other than
home herds browsed the hills in
these two counties, a range war
possibility would be far removed.
But it was the outside sheep in
Lake county that created the
disturbance. Nomadic herds that
were eating the li'e and substance
out of the country and leaving
in their wiike a desolated territory
that neither home sheep nor cattle
could thrive upon. They belong
ed elsewhere. The taxes upon
them were paid in other parts and
the benefit from three taxes ac
crued to a district entirely foreign built.

Il is not probable, however, that - -
Crook county will experience any
costly difficulties during the rang
ing seamn this year. Both the
stock interests have made concess
ions and if a strict observance of
these lilies is maintained there can
be no dash of conflicting territory.
But the same conditions which
have brought about these concess
ions are going on apace, and the
years to come must necessarily
witness still greater demands on
Crook County's public domain.
