WOOLGROWERS'
CONVENTION
The annual session of the Ore
gon Woolgrowers' Association at
The Dalles has passed on several
of the vital questions that engaged
the minds of the woolgrowers of
the atate for many months.
WANT WOOL TARIFF UI'HKI.D
1. Resolved, That we are un
qualified in our indorsement of
the present import tariff duties on
wool, woolen fabrics, hides, meat
and animals and oppose emphati
cally any legislation which shall
tend to decrease or disturb the
present prosperous conditions of
the wool and live stock industry
of the United States.
2. Whereas, wo the people of
the United States are being bun
coed daily by shoddy and cotton
goods, misrepresented as wool,
and,
Whereas, the United States
government does protect the peo
ple by means of pure food laws
and meat inspection laws from
food adulteration, and,
Whereas, it is right and just in
the abstract that the government
protect the people from frauds and
counterfeits and adulterations;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That we have govern
ment inspection to protect us from
shoddy and cotton counterfeits of
wool and we hereby request our
Congressmen and United States
Senators to introduce, work and
vote tor an act requiring manu
facturers of goods and clothing to
brand their products designating
the percentages of wool, cotton,
shoddy or any other material con
tained in said clothing and goods;
and, be it
Resolved, That the President
of the United States be made
acquainted with the wish of the
people of the United States so that
he may recommend, if ho deems
proper, to Congress tho nececsary
remedial legislation.
3. Whereas, much complaint
has reached members of this as
sociation as to the management of
the Weiiaha forest reserve and to
the western division of the Bine
Mountain reserve; and,
Whereas, much discrimination
has been shown against Oregon
woolgrowers by the recent super
visor; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by this association,
That the Forestry Department be
requested to remove the present
supervisor; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by this association,
That tho Forestry Department be
requested to remove tho present
supervisor of those reserves and
replace him by some oilicial less
prejudiced against the woolgrow
ers' interests of Eastern Oregon.
Further, the convention went on
record against the leasing of pub
lio domain or placing it under the
control of the Forestry Depart
ment, believing that such legisla
tion would prove detrimental to
the livestock interests, and would
greatly retard the settlement and
development of the country.
It was the sense of the meeting
also that the forestry service
should increase the salaries of its
oflicers "to the end that compe
tent meu may be more easily
obtained."
The action of the forest service
in sending moneys derived from
Oregon reserves out of the state
while the management of Oregon
reserves is lacking both in num
bers and personnel, was con
demned. Relative to the amendment to
the interstate commerce law, the
resolution says:
Resolved, by the Oregon Wool
growers' Association, whose mem
bers are deeply interested in the
upbuilding of the wool industry of
the Pacific Northwest That at
the coming session of our National
congress an amendment shall be
presented providing in effect that
when any railroad company or
corporation attempts to advance
or lower any interstate freight
rate or to make any changes in
classification it must give ample
notice and receive the approval of
the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion before such rates or changes
in classification shall become a
law.
Relative to the alarming in
crease in the number of predatory
wild animals, particularly the coy
ote, the state woolgrowers, in a
resolution, petitioned the chief for
ester of the United States "that he
cause to be sent to the National
reserves of Oregon special agents
to accomplish the destruction of
predatory wild animals," assign
ing for a reason that "within the
borders of the National forests are
great and natural breeding grounds
for such animals."
The action and work of the
United States Bureau of Animal
Industry, in its effort to eradicate
scab from the Oregon flocks during
the last nine months was heartily
indorsed, and an earnest desire
was expressed that the bureau con
tinue its work in the state along
lines followed in the past.
A resolution asked for the re
moval of the ranger in the eastern
division of the Blue Mountain Na
tional Forest Reserve, because he
"has proven his incompetency
during the season of 1907 by being
arbitrary and unreasonable."
It was further resolved "that the
cattlemen be confined to their own
range until such time that the
sheepmen can arrive at their re
spective allotments with their
sheep."
The convention indorsed the
movement of Western stockmen
for the establishment at some cen
tral point in the range states a
field pathological station equipped
with the necessary laboratory for
the purpose of studying diseases
among sheep and cattle, and
urged on the Department of Agri
culture the necessity of such a
bureau.
Remember the Poor.
Prof. C. B. Dinwiddie, Prine
ville, Ore.
Dear Sir: As Thanksgiving Day
is again drawing near, I beg to
solicit your co-operation with the
teachers and pupils of the schools
under your care for a contribution
for the benefit of this society. The
great good that has been accom
plished along these lines has been
felt by the management and has
enabled us to give our children
many little luxuries that they
otherwise could not have received.
We feel that in asking the aid of
the pupils of the publio schools
throughout the state that we are at
once assisting the children under
our care and leaching the pupils
of the public schools a valuable
object lesson in charity.
The railroad companies have
already signified their willingness
to carry all freight sent to us dur
ing Thanksgiving time free so long
as it is plainly marked "Boys' &
Girls' Aid Society, Portland, Ore."
We siucerely trust that you will
not fail to co-operate with us in
this most worthy cause, and
remain. Respectfully yours,
Boys' & Girl's Aid Society of Ore.
