REGISTERING PURE-BRED STOCK Redmond, Oregon. Editor Crook County Journal, Some time ago I found a man with the idea that registering pure-bred stock was a local matter taken care of at the county seat the same as registering brands. Not know ing how widespread this idea may be I take this opportunity of giv ing a few facts concerning the registering of pure-bred stock. Each bred of stock has its own registry association and some of them more than one. The fact that some breeds have more than one association seems to be an un desirable condition and one which may be done away with in time. Each association of course, has its own officers and headquarters. Jersey cattle are registered in New York City by J. J. Heming way, secretary of the American Jersey Cattle Club. Holeteins or IIolstein-Fresians are registered in Brattleboro, Vermont, by F. L. Houghtea, secretary of the Hol-stein-Fresian Association of Amer ica. Contrary to an idea that I find has a little acceptance in this neighborhood these are one and the same identical breeds with absolutety no difference whatever. The American Aberdeen-Angus breeders, the Red Polled Cattle breeders, the American Short-horn Breeders' Associations and others have their headquarters in Chicago. In boss there are at least two Duroc Jersey breeders associations, the American and the National, and three Poland China, the American and the National which is a combination of the Ohio and the Central. With very few minor exceptions any animal that is eligible to regis try in any one of these records is eligible for any of the others, the one main point of eligibility, being that both the sire and dam are already registered. There is thus no provision for registering grades no matter how high they may be. Although it is different with racing horses. Five crosses with pure bred stock entitling to reg stry (seven in England). There is also no provision for barring occasional inferior pure-bred animals from registry except the breeder's con science, the buyer's choosing, com petition and such natural condi tions. As & matter of tact many thousands of animals entitled to registry are never entered. In the Isle of Jersey more than pure blood is necessary as a condi tion to registry. The animal, if a female, must show a certain per formance before being admitted. She is admitted with honor, simply admitted, or she is rejected. This makes two grades of those ad mitted. This has its counterpart in this country in the Advanced Registry of Jerseys and some other breeds A test is carried on for a longer or shorter time, generally under the direction of some member of one of the state experiment staff and is certified to. If the test comes up to a certain standard, if the cow gives so much milk and it contains a certain amount of butter fat, she is admitted to the Advanced Reg istry. E. C. Park. Land Office Overrun With Work WILL MEET AT PRINEV1LLE Prineville, Ore., Pec. 24, 1907. The following circular is being sent to sheep and cattlemen by Forest Supervisor Ireland: Dear Sir The area formerly known as the Blue Mountains (West) National Forest has been divided into two administrative unita. The territory lying east of the south fork of the John Day river, and east of the Emigrant and Silver Creek divide will be designated as the Malheur National Forest with headquarters at John Day, Oregon; while the territory lying west of this line will retain for the present ita former designa tion Blue Mountains (west) Na tional Forest with headquarters at Prineville, Oregon. In view of this change of admin istration, and the further fact that some new territory was added to this forest by the President's Proc lamation of March 2, it is thought best to hold a meeting of the stock men interested in ranee on the Blue Mountains west for the pur pose of dividing the new territory between cattle and sheep and cor recting any mistakes that might have been made at the meeting held at Canyon City last fall. Since it is believed that by a cooperation of the stockmen and the forest officers a more satis factory division of the range can oe maae, you are earnestly re quested to attend the meeting which will be held at Prineville, Oregon, January 29, 30 and 31, 1908. Applications for grazing permits for the season of 1908 may be filed at this meeting. In view of the fact that there was some dissatisfaction in the manner in which the sheep ranges were allotted for the past season com mittees of the sheep owners graz ing their herds within each district will be appointed to assist the forest officers in making specific allotments, and the allotments made must be strictly adhered to during the next grazing season. Also at this meeting a system of driveways will be recommended which if approved by the forester must be enforced. No doubt you are very much in terested in the grazing of this forest and are cordially invited to attend the meeting. Officials at the U. S. Land Office in The Dalles are nearly snowed under by the vast number of patents to be issued and proofs to be heard, which work has been tied up to a considerable extent on account of the late flurry in money affairs. Applicants for patents have made proof but on account of the flurry were unable to pay publication and other fees, thus preventing the issuance of patents. These applicants had been granted thirty days' grace in which to pay the fees, and since the banks are open the work is coming into the land office rapidly. H. T. Jones, special land agent, is in the city assisting the local officials. The Dalles Chronicle. Crook County Journal, county official paper, $1.50 a year.

MORE RAILROAD RUMBLES (Portland Orvgvniiau ) Confirmation of the story printed some time ago that the Mount Hood Railroad A Power Company will build a standard gauge railroad across the state that will connect with the Moffat road from Denver, giving Portland an other transcontinental line, is found in the purchase of the town site of Laidlaw, in the Deschutes Valley, by the Mount Hood poo pie. It has been known for some time that options on Crook county property had been secured by the Mount Hood interests,, but this transaction is the first of any con siderable size in that part of the slate to be made public. General Manager C. V. Miller is not yet ready to announce the purchase of the Laidlaw townsite, although he admits his company has run surveys through that dis trict. However, as deeds are now being made at Prineville transfer ring the townsite to the Mount Hood Railroad & Power Company, denials by the officials of the com pany are not taken seriously. Ideal sites are found both above and below Laidlaw to furnish splendid water power for genera tion of electricity to operate the road. As projected, this new line across the state is an electric road throughout. When you want a pleasant laxa tive take Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablet. For sale by D. P. Adanmou. Democratic National Convention Chairman Taggart, of the Demo cratic National Convention on December 23, issued a formal call for the National Convention. The announcement says: "The Democratic National Com mittee has appointed Tuesday, the 7th day of July, 1908, as the time and chosen Denver, Colo., as the place for holding the Democratic National Convention. "Each state is entitled to repre sentation therein equal to double the number of its senators and representatives in the Congress of the United States and each terri tory; Alaska, District of Columbia, Hawaii and Porto Rico shall have six delegates. All Democratic citizens of the United States, irre spective of past political associa tions and differences, who can unite with us in the effort for a pure, economical, constitutional government, are cordially invited to join us in sending delegates to the convention."

Stray Cattle Taken Up $3,000,000,000 IN OREGON TIMBER Standing timber in Oregon amounts to 8,000,000.000 feet ac cording to Charles K. Fields, of Portland, says the Telegram, who has been consulting United States Government reports on the matter. "This timber, at the present rate of consumption, not allowing tor the growth it will make, will last 150 years," Mr, Fields says. "Of course, the rate of denuding will increase as the years go by, but even then the value of standing timber in Oregon is so vast that there is not money enough in the whole United States to buy it at present prices, based on $12 a thousand feet." "The timber of the state is worth 13,000,000,000, or about the sum total of the National debt at the close of our Civil War. Very few of us stop to think about this, and it is only by hunting the govern ment figures that a correct esti mate can he made. "But we have other things be sides timber that run into dollars pretty fast. There was a time when we thought clover could not be raised in the Willamette Valley at all. Last harvest we raised 1,500,000 pounds, which at 11 cents a pound, would run up to flt5,000. Yet clover is only an incidental source of revenue. I am not figuring today on livestock, dairy products, grain or gold." 85 I Will Clo$e Out Wood Yard C. D.
