Down Go the Prices Again ! !
The time is drawing near and we must close out regardless of price.
We have decided on another cut of 1 5 per cent, making a total re
duction of 60 per cent. Don't stop to ponder. It is the chance of your
lifetime. Dont listen to the bark of competitors.
They Can't Touch Us On Values.
Don't be like the man who had the habit of riding backwards. He
never saw anything 'till it got by him. The greatest money saving
event of the age is knocking at your very door. Hundreds have taken
advantage of it and still you hesitate. You'll have to hurry as the time
is growing short Don't fail to bring in the family, we can fit them all.
Rivet your eyes on a few of the sterling values we are offering, and

pushed ahead as fast as possible.
The engine and stone cusher are in

riage and car are hung and in
working order and work will be
rushed to completion at the earliest
possible date. Inasmuch as this

seventh highest in the world, it
makes it doubly interesting to
watch this work as it progresses
from day to day.
The work on the roadbed of the

been broken up and now the only
unfinished work left in this vicin

REPORT
I.
We, the wool men of Oregon,
view with alarm the threatened
onslaught by Congress on the
wool tariff, knowing as we do brush; a
that the reduction of the tariff ceded by the Forest Department,
will of necessity cripple, and and that in his way he has saved
perhaps destroy our industry, i millions of dollars to the nation.
beef or pork, seeing that the
sheep never suffer from diseas
es communicable to tho human
family.
3. Incidentally, the absence
of this mutton from the market
would naturally raise the prices
of beef and pork to the people.
4. The land of the United
States would 6uffer from the loss
of the fertilizing properties of
sheep, which are so valuable an
agricultural asset as to be hard
to estimate, and would also suf
fer by the absence of the sheep
in their capacity as weed de
stroyers.
5. Lastly, we claim for sheep
among all bis other merits, that
he is a great protection against
forest fires, eating out and stam
ping out as he does the under
fact that is now con
The idea expressed by many peo
ple that sheepmen are making a
large profit is very erroneous.
The large expenses incurred,
which have from year to year in
creased, have brought the expen
diture and income very close to
gether, leaving a very small mar
gin of profit. This fact we have
every confidence will be reported
by the tariff commission. We
therefore welcome the tariff com
mission without reservation. We
point out, as we have pointed out
before, that the cost of wool in an
all-woo! suit of clothes amounts
to less than 3.00, and that there
fore the reduction of the tariff
would not necessarily cheapen
the cost of clothing to the con
sumer. That the taking of the
tariff from the wool would inev
itably drive the flocks from the
ranges and farms as quickly as
they could be got rid of on the
market, is our conviction. That
this would be nothing short of a
national calamity, every right-
thinking person must admit. We
would, however, detail the direct
and incidental damages the coun
try would sustain:
1. An industry that employs
a large number of men at very
high wages would be lost to the
country.
2. The American people wonld
be deprived of the home mutton
supply, a class of meat' the most
wholesome on the market, a class
that is never condemned as is
II.
We are informed that there is
now pending before the congress
of the United .States a bill pro
viding for the creation of a De
partment of Public Health. We
feel that this is a matter of vital
interest to the entire animal in
dustry of this nation, and we op
pose most vigorously the trans
fer of the Bureau of Animal In
dustry, or any part thereof away
from the Department of Agri
culture. The greater success of
the Bureau of Animal Industry
in the suppression of animal dis
eases, and in the inspection of
meats, has come, we believe, as
a result of the close association
maintained by this bureau with
the agricultural and livestock in
terests of the entire nation, and
the removal of this bureau to the
Department of Public Health
would tend to destroy confidence
in its ruling and would result in
confusion. We therefore most
earnestly urge upon our senators
and representatives in the con
gress of the United States that
thgy use every effort to prevent
the transfer of the Bureau of
Animal Industry, or any part
thereof, away from the United
States Department of Agricul
ture.
III.
We the Oregon Wool Growers,
are strongly opposed to that sec
tion of the House Bill 28213,
which empowers the President
to create additional Forest Res
imals, and resettling the depleted
ranges.
V.
Uosclved: Iu order that ship
pers may secure the long desired
relief., from tho present unsat
isfactory and inhuman condit
ions of transportation of live
stock to their place of destination
by the railroads, we respect
fully request that our Represen
tatives and Seustors in Congress
urge' the enactment of House of
Representative's Bill 2713l. as
agreed upon by the American
Humane Society, the National
Wool Growers, and Allied Live
Stock Associations.
VI.
We would respectfully urgo
upou the Legislature of this
state the necessity of passing, at
the coming session, a ininiuum
speed limit law, covering the
shipment of livestock between
points in this state.
VII.
We believe that the law known
as the Scalp Bounty Law, passed
by the Legislature, has been of
great benefit, not only to the
Wool Growers, but to evory
stock raiser and poultry grower
in the state; but we think, owing
to the great sizo of some of the
counties in Eastern Oregon the
necessity of the killer of a coyote
personally appearing before the
County Clerk of a county tends
to detract from our receiving its
full benefit. We would therefore
instruct the legislative committee
of this Association to draw up
and endeavor to have passed,
such necessary amendments to
the present law, so that a person
legitimately entitled to collect a
bounty can do so without entail
ing upon him a greater expend
iture than tht benefit he should
receive.
VIII.
Whereas, The Centennial cele-
cebration of the settlement of
Astoria, by Jacob Astor in 1811,
to be held in that city next Aug
ust, will commemorate an event
of national significance, as well as
of great Ira portance to the entire
Northwest,
Resolved, That the Oregon
Wool Growers' Association hear
tily endorse the holding of said
Centennial celebration, and be
speak for it the enthusiastic
support of every American
citizen.
IX.
It is with great pleasure that
we endorse the work of the
United States Bureau of Animal
Industry in this state, and we
desire to extend our thanks to
the Honorable Secretary of
Agriculture, and to Dr. A D.
Melvin for the great assistance
the Bureau of Animal Industry
has rendered to the livestock in
terests of this state. We most
heartily endorse the work of the
local officials, more especially
that of Dr. S. W. McClure, of this
great Bureau, and would espect
fully ask their continued assist
ance and co-operation to the end
that all diseases of sheep may
ultimately be eradicated.
X.
We endorse the work of the
Oregon State Sheep Commission,
and thank each member of this
Board for the personal interest
he has taken in the welfare of
the sheep industry.
We heartily endorse the work
of Dr. W. H. Lytlo as State
Sheep Inspector, and urge the
necessity of retaining his ser
vices. XI.
Inasmuch as the supervisors
of the several Forests have stat
ed that there will be no reduc
tion in the number of sheep
which were grazed during the
season of 1910, and satisfactory
advisory boards having been ap
pointed to adjust differences that
may arise between the users and
supervisors, it appears that the
woolgrowers' business, from a
grazing standpoint, is to be plac
ed on a more stable basis, and
the disagreeable task of read jus
ting allotments will to a great
extent be eliminated. .
XII.
Wo recommend that as fur as
possible, when tire guards and
others In the Servico aro promo
tod to the oftice of ranger, prac
tical stockmen bo given prefer
eiu'O for this position.
XIII.
Wo heartily commend tho Dis
trict Forester for the explora
tion of tho ungraxml Forests of
Northern Washington, and the
efforts made toward securing a
reasonuhlo freight rato in tho
transportation of sheep to tho
same. '
