Tha outlook for peaceful rang ing season in the Blue mountains this year is not as encouraging as it was a few days ago. The cattle men have sent in their ultimatum to the Antelope Wool Growers association, clothed in terms that cannot I mistaken. There isj warning contained therein that the most drastic measures will be pursued in keeping from the cattle district all bands of sheep. The cattlemen in their letter to the president of the Wool Growers association also state that they will run no chances of being testi fied against and that the lives of the sheep herders are not alto gether safe It is deplorable indeed that con ditions are such as to call forth a statement of this kind, and yet there seems to be no apparant remedy for the existing evil. The Journal last week reviewed the situation thoroughly and it is believed that the true status of the difficulties between these two industries was laid bare. Condi tions exist which it is impossible to change unless the entire stock district is changed at the same time and just now both the sheep men and the cattlemen are con fronted with trying circumstances. hat tbe outcome will be no one can foretell. Determination on the part of both to carry a point may lead into serious trouble, yet there is a possibility that mat ters may still be adjusted satisfac torily, and it is to be hoped that an amicable arrangement can be made for this year at least. Next season a join meeting of both parties, if it is held, may result in a settlement of the ranging terri tory nd a second crisis, such as the present trouble is, avoided. FOK A FLAT SALARY LAW. If the people of Oregon desire to put an end to the extravagant over-payment of atate officials, they must impress their wish upon the men who are to represent them in the coming session of the legis lature. An insistent public senti ment must be aroused which will accept no excuse and will tolerate no dodging. For years both political parties have been promis ing the people that the abuse should be terminated, but these premises have not been fulfilled. p.1 Iorj The time is ripe and over-rijie penormance. legislators snouia . people now demand a flat salary law, and that it shall be made operative at once, not at some time in the distant future. The Republican machine will doubtless secretly oppose the enactment of such a law. The leading Republican paper of the state has placed itself on record as against the people's interests and in favor of continuing the wa.-le of public moneys. Evidently there fore the enactment of the law will not be accomplished without a contest. But the will of the people will prevail if it is imperatively expressed. Tbe spacious argument is ad vanced by opponents of a flat salary law mat it wouiu be un constitutional and that on . . i changing the constitution can the oi,,; i U(t 1. 1. ; . ! ed or diminished. The Journal has pointed out the absurdity of I this argument and has called at tention to the mass of authority against it. It would not hold watov in tbe courts for an hour. When the last legislature passed a law increasing tbe salaries of the supreme judges from $3,5000 to f-1,5000 per annum, it showed its disregard uf the contention that the change could he made only by constitutional amendment. -Nor do the judges themselves seem to find any legal difficulty in the way of accepting the increased ciiniien satioo which was thus bestowed PUBLISHED BY THE JOURNAL Pl'M.ISItlNU CO.

PAPER OF CROOK COUNTY upon them by mere act of the legislatuiet There is no valid reason why it legislature which has (lie in terest of the people nt heart should not enact a Hat salary law. Portland Journal. Some people are going out of the cattle business now because thev think there is more money in other lines. This is a grave mistake, as there is no other line of business but what will have its tips and downs, and the periods of depres sion in the live stock business are less in number and shorter in duration than in most any other business. We have pointed out many ti.nes that there is no over production ill the live stock business, but certain conditions have had a tendency to lower the price of beef that cannot exi-t any length of time. The country is needing more beef each year and somebody must supply it. The time to stav with a business- is when everybody else is quitting it. Rural Spirit. It is difficult to believe that the j uregonmn wun us innuence atiu;protest to the Interior prestige should be the right bower of the gambling element in Port- laud, and yet the public cannot believe otherwise when it reads the sorrowful tales printed in the Ore gonian of the workingman who now has no place to lose his money and the sportiveson who must part with his money elsewhere than in a gambling house. The Oregonian, in its great age and diminishing eye sight, fails to see what good can come of it all, and where the city has bettered itself, put itself on record as It has j paper ; which favors the support of the I city of Portland from revenue j contains no watershed. Notwith derived from debauchery and the standing, Mr. Pinohot, who is at winnings in the slums, and it the head of the forestry deparl verily believes that the,city is the jment, is not disposed to open the loser wun inese gaming nouses closed, tvulently the reasoning powers of the Oregonian have run amuck, and there is verification of the words of the young orator, who said the editorial columns of the leading newspapers were open to the highest bidders. The Ore- gonian was tripped up in its paid fight against local option, it has now lost again in an effort to bring success to the gamblers. The public at large will watch Und send them to the department, with some little interest its next at the same time showing bv afli move towards moral depravity, j davit that the character of the - hind is agricultural and not suited Here is a small boy's esssv on u f"Tefl r'""'6 l'"f'fps.

The Chicago Chronicle has de serted the democratic party be cause there is too much Byranism in it; the East Oregonian of Pendle ton has quit the party because there is a lack of Bryanism. There are still other papers and : factions which have resigned their friendship for divers reasons. ' presumeu that most of the democrats will ...1 !

Thre aren't very many persons who would object to being as in deiiendent as a "hog on ice" dur ing the present hot days.

'The only line hack in Wash ington we have had to work on," said Mr. Williamson, "is a general protest, in which the entire reserve has been found at fault, mid the people in that district have asked that the reserve be thrown oien again. I am pretty well satisfied that the forestry department is not as familiar with the conditions in that section as it might be and thev do not appreciate the fact that the district is an arid one and reserve to the public, yet he is willing to do anv thing lie can to relieve those who feel thr.t they have been injured by the with drawal. On those grounds then a specific protest should be riinle bv tho-e who wish their lands, if they jare not timber, to lie outside the i Hues.

The proiosition in itself is wrong, mid is only an instigation for persons to take up homesteads for specu lative purposes and in open do fiance of the laws, A homestead entry mady where a lease was in force would in all probability moan that the entry man liail tak on it up lor the solo purpose of selling it to the man using the adjoining range us soon as final proof could Ik- made. "I believe the time is coining, and that not far distant, when Congress will enact a graduated homestead law, similar to the Kiucaid law which was recently passed to upplv to western No-! braska lauds and under whirl hotiiesleadeis wore allowed till) acres each. Sooner or later it law presenting the same phases will be made applicable to this and olhe stales. The remaining public domain will be graduated accord ing to the number of tillable acres in each forty, and a person in consequent'?- will be allowed a tract largo enough to assure him a liv ing. It may be -200 acres or it may lie a section, or it may 1"' more according to the amount of wastcjerritory embraced ill the tiling. I believe that is the only satisfactory solution to the settling of the remaining government tracts, especially ill Oregon and thosttjmiiiediato states where there is more or less arid and non-tillable laud."
