who was in Portland sayt the recent

of the woolgrowers doe not rep
resent the wishes of the member
ship of that organization, but in
stead was inspired by a few sheep
raisers, whose displeasure these
officials were unfortunate enough
to incur by strictly enforcing the
rales of the department regulating
grazing in the forest reserves. The
only opposition to these super

Finding tbey were unable to obtain
special favore from the representa
tives of the forestry department
whom they charge with adminis
tering its policy aa to grazing, it is
now proposed to have these policy-
enforcing agents discharged."
Mr. Colby says he has only an
official acquaintance with the men
charged with improperly perform
ing their duty and resents the
alleged underhanded means being
employed to effect their removal.
He declares he has known Ireland
personally for the last seven years
and has found him to be a fearless
representative of the department,
faithfully enforcing the grazing
rules without fear or favor. Aa
a result, Mr. Colby says the Blue
Mountain reserve has recuperated
wonderfully as a grazing district
and the interests of the smaller
stockmen have been protected.

' SPECIAL CHARACTER OF CHARGES
At a meeting of members of the
State Woolgrowers' Association at
Pendleton, December 11, the re
moval of Schmitz, of the Wenaha
forest reserve, and of Ireland and
Suilens, of the Blue Mountain re
serve, was recommended by the
association to the forestry depart
ment. The supervisors were
charged with improperly and un
fairly making the range allotments,
besides entirely disregarding local
needs and conditions or former
occupancy and ignoring the recom
mendations of the grazing com
mittees who represented the stock
men. It was further charged that
in the allotment of lands, large
tracts remained unused and idle.
"These charges are all without
foundation," continued Mr. Colby.
"When the time arrived this vear
to make the grazing allotments,
Ireland personally visited his
division the west part of the
Wenaha reserve and conferred
with the stockmen with whom he
agreed to arrange the apportion
ment of the crazing land on a
basis that would be satisfactory to
them, and at the same time con
form to the rules prescribed by the
department. Accordingly he left
the matter with the stockmen who
prepared their recommendations
which were closely followed by
Ireland when he apportioned the
grazing permits. So far as ft was
practicable, section lines were
abandoned as the dividing lines of
the several allotments and the
watersheds and divides were sub
stituted, this arrangement being in
the interest of the stockmen, .many
of whom otherwise would have
been without convenient watering
places for their herds.
EVERY AVAILABLE ACRE TJ8ED
"Another of the unsupported
charges against ' the forest reserve
men is that much of the acreage
within. the reserve was unoccupied
this year. It iB a matter of fact
that every foot of a considerable
acreage which was added to the
forest reserve last spring, was
alio ted for grazing purposes to
stockmen who had been accustomed
to using it in years past without
the formality of taking the matter
up with the department. Had
that been done, a disposition of
the matter could not have been
made in time for this acreage to be
used this year. All such land was
granted for the use of stockmen on
a basis that waa satisfactory to
them so that every acre of avail
able range was used this year.
The trouble is that there is not
sufficient grazing land in thia state
and under the rules of the depart
ment stockmen are being com
pelled annually to reduce the size
of their herds."
SCAB ERADICATED
BY H'CLURE
Credit for the eradication of scab
from Oregon flocks- haa been given
to Dr. S. W. McClure, inspector in
charge of the United States bureau
of animal industrr bv the state
wool growers association which
has also thanked the federal
bureau for its aid and assistance
in this work.
It was in answer to the request
contained in a law passed at the
laet session of the legislature at
the instance of the association,
that the federal authorities came
to cooperate with the state author
ities in the work of controlling and
eradicating scab and other con
tagious diseases among the flocks
of this state.
Dr. McClure who had been
placed in charge of the northwest
district, comprising Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho, and Montana, with
headquarters at Pendleton, im
mediately took up the work with
the board of sheep commissioners
and the state sheep inspector. He
placed a large force of competent
inspectors in the field last April
and through his untireing and
ceaseless efforts as well as those of
is assistants has almost com
pletely eradicated scab from Ore
gon flocks.
So complete and so thorough
has been the work that the federal
quarantine which has been hang
ing over the state for ' years and
which has been the bane of sheep
men; has at last been removed. It
now no longer required that
sheep be dipped before they are
shipped out of the state unless the
federal inspection shows they are
diseased. This results in a saving
in time and money hard to esti
mate, since in addition to the great
expense attached to the process of
dipping every animal suffer a loss
of fle6D and vitality and some are
killed.
In the crusade against this most
dreaded of all diseases by wool
growers Dr. McClure and the de
partment have spent large sums of
money and spared no efforts or
time. It has all been done for
the direct benefit of Oregon flock
owners who have not been slow in
expressing their gratitude.
Dr. McClure's administration
was heartily endorsed by the
sheepmen in session at The Dalles
and the department has been
urged to keep him in charge and
to continue its work in this state
along the same lines as have been
done in the past. Pendleton
Tribune.
A Good Showing
A canvass of the students of the
University of Oregon just made
shows that between 60 per cent
and 70 per cent of the men in the
University this year are either
wholly or partially making their
own way through college. The
greater part of the earning is done
of course during the summer. The
canvass shows that, since the va
cation is comparatively short, the
men get employment in the har
vest fields, mills, mines, and labor
of various kinds paying good
wages. It shows also that the en
gineering students find no trouble
in getting work in their line. The
engireering department has a
large number of graduates in the
employ of the Southern Pacific,
O. R. & N., Northern Pacific, and
in the government reclamation
service, and tne majority o! tne
engineering students are engaged
before the session closes in June.
