Hay
Creek Ranch
Will be Cut Up.
lOrt'gntilaii.
The (among Hay Cret-k sheep
ranch, located in Ktiitern Oit'Ron
and one ol the largest and bent
known luep ranches in the United
Stated, has hoen forced out ot busi
ness on account o! the Forestry
Uureau'i policy ol conserving the
forest renervog. J. O. Kd wards,
owner ot the famous ranch of
27,000 acre, laid that ho had been
forced to the wall by the Govern
ment's policy and ho had decided
to out up the big ranch and full it.
Several years ago Mr. Edwards
came to Oregon from Wyoming,
where he had a range with 100,000
sheep, the largest in the country,
lie selected Hay Cteck as ideal
for a hecp country, sold his
Wyoming interests and started the
big business in Eastern Oregon.
In lflOfi he had 40.000 head of
linnn. which he wintered .on his
27 ,000-acre ranch and and which!
he kept on tho range in the
Government forest resorve in the
summer months.
That year the Forestry Bureau,
in its policy ol conservation, cut
Edwards' allowance of range to a
territory sutlicient fpr onlv 24,000
sheep. Mr. Edwards sold a large
number of sheep and continued.
In 1908 cume another order for a
40 per cont cut, but this whs
fought hard by Mr. Edwards, who
had it modified to 25 per cent, and
he waB permitted to continue with
17,000 head of sheep on the range.
A fow drtys ago he received notice
of another reduction of 30 per cent
in his range allotment and now
that he can givo range to only
12,250 head of sheep he has decided
to retire from the bwsincss, assert
ing that unless the sheep business
is carried on a gigantic scale it can
not be a success.
"It is the Government's policy
right through which has forced me
out of the game," said Mr
." Edwards, at the Portland Hotel.
"I cannot continue in business
with this small bunch of sheep on
the big ranch, and now all I can
do is to sell out."
Mr. Edwards believes that the
Forestry Ilureau policy Is bad, not
only for him but for the state and
country at-large. It could have
no other effect, he said, than to
drive great industries, such as he
had built up in Eastern Oregon,
out of existence. He had created
a ranch which had become famous
the country over, was a model in
every detail and one of the great
producers of the state. There waB
no expense to which he would not
go to build up his line of sheep he
said, and he imported rams costing
thousands of dollars '
and V by
systematic breeding produced a
sheep which had wool from its nose
to its hoofs, the only sheep of its
kind in existence. '
Recently, in anticipation of the
death of his business in Eastern
Oregon, Mr. Edwards has been in
vesting heavily in Portland real
estate and in the last few months
has made three purchases, aggre
gating (145,000. One of these
purchases he made last week,
when he bought a quarter block
on the corner of Grand avenue and
Belmont street, for 135,000.
