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.

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.

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."
