SENATOR FULTON OBJECTS.
Senator Fulton is still making it
lively for th forest service at
Washington about the matter of
charging a fee per head for live
stock eraxing in the forest re
serves. The Umatilla County
Woolgrowers' Association issued a
protect charging discrimination in
allotment of privileges in the
Weneha reserve, a part of which is
in Oregon and a part in Washing
ton. The petition was presented
to the department by Senator Ful
ton last Friday and it alleged that
Washington sheepmen had leen
given range in the Oregon ortion
to the exclusion of Oregon sUxk.
Mr. Fulton was informed that no
privileges had been granted to I
anyone in this reserve as yet.
Senator Fulton is decidely op
posed to the graning fee, maintain
ing that the ranges should be free
to all and he intends to submit a
formal protest against this charge.
He believes there is ne authority
for the tax and he and other wes
tern senators will probably make a
. live issue of the matter during the
present season.
Senator Fulton evidently is not
in closest touch-with the stock in
terests of the state. It is appar
ent that he is to be governed in
the grazing fee matter entirely by
the differences of opinion and
squabble for. range territory pre
dominating at the present time in
the reserve spoken of. Elsewhere
in the biate there has been little it"
i .1 i
any oojecuon ti ine charge
head fur the gracing privilege.
Throughout Crook county and
Central Oregon, which supports
an enormous number of head
of livestock, the new ruling
of the department is looked upon
with favor. Stock growers feel that
the small fee charged insures
them protection in manv ways,
gives them an individual right to(
use certain allotments which the i
governmeut will protect for them
ana asiae irom being the main
factor in securing for them
longer term of years of usage of
the grasses in the reserve will
smother completely the range wars
and struggle for supremacy lie
tween cattle and sheepmen in the
grazing districts. In short, the
nominal fee charged will lie the
means of simply ting matters which,
owing to their complications here
tofore, have led into serious dis
turbance.
Senator Fulton is working to
gain the ends which he thinks will
be oi the best interest to the state
at large. But their is a hit of
information relative to the grazing
privileges and the charges at
tached thereto, which he might
gain by broader inquiry in other
districts besides that of the Weneha
reserve where selfish interests are
struggling to gain the upper hand.
tion dt'iends the answer to yours.
In conclusion will mention that
we have SO acres of splendid land
worth much more than it has cost
us, and capable of yielding suffici
ent revenue to support an annual
fair when well set in alfalfa and
managed properly. Will the peo
ple provide funds to put this enter
prise in shape?

MORE ABOUT THE FAIR.
Editor Journal: In an editorial
of a recent issue vou ask: "Will
we have a fair this fall?"
1 answer yes it the people want
one and will give the necessary
financial support. The money
already subscribed is nearly suffi
cient for all purposes if the sub
scnbers will only pay up. The
management lias so far refrained
from forcible collection, not wish
ing to arouse bad feeling against
the enterprise sure to follow litiga
tion. The grounds are fenced in a
uitable manner. A camp ground
several acres in extent has been
provided just outside the exhibi
tion grounds for those who wish to
. camp during the holding of fairs.
A mile race track has been laid
off and fenced and only needs a
little more work. Seven or eight
acres have been set in alfalfa mid
50 acres more are ready to seed
this spring. But we need a grand
stand, a suitable pavilion and

money. Will the people provide ' in Prineville a
