Cattle Industry Moyes Apace
There have been volumes written
about the advantages of organized
effort. It requires direct example,
however, for the people to fully
realize the value of organizations.
The Cattle and Horse Raisers'
Association of the state which met
in Prineville a little over month
ago are getting direct results in
the interests of their industry.
The stock branding law which
was put through the state legisla
ture at the request of this associa
tion, is a good one and provides for
two important things. First, the
recording of all brands with the
state veterinarian, and second, for
a uniform inspection law which will
prevent stock being shipped without
first being examined by a county
inspector to determine whether
they are legally owned.
It also provides that the governor
shall appoint a stock inspector in
each county of the state, and such
inspectors must be experienced
stockmen recommended by the
Cattle and Horse Raisers' Associa
tion of Oregon. The inspectors
shall be appointed for a term of
two years, which shall start June 1,
1915, and biennially thereafter
The inspectors shall have authority
to appoint deputy inspectors in
various parts of their respective
counties.
The duties of the inspectors are
to inspect all shipments of horses
and cattle and satisfy themselves
before permitting such shipments,
that the animals are in the lawful
possession of the person desiring to
ship them.
The inspectors are to be paid 10
cents per head for the first 25 head
or less number included in any lot
inspected, and the sum of three
cents per head for all over and
.above 2o head, and in addition, 10
-cents per mile one way for the dis
tance he must travel in order to
make such inspection.
Every owner or shipper of cattle
or horse3 shall furnish the common
carrier over which it is proposed to
ship the animals, a certificate in
duplicate, fully describing them
and certify that he is the owner
and entitled to their possession.

delivered to any duly authorized

destination.
The recording law will prevent
the confusion of owners in adjoin

which is true in many instances at
present- All brands must be differ
ent and the one state official will
pass on the matter before a brand
is recorded.
Another and equally important
bill was passed after the meeting
here last month, and was recom
mended by this meeting.I which
shows how quickly ."results are ob
tained if they are asked for by a
recognized organization.
This law provides that anyone
having cattle on the open ranges of
the eastern part of the state shall
provide at least one pure bred male
of the beef breed for each fifty or
fraction thereof of female cattle
owned on the same ranges.? RThis
will remove the complaint Jthat
some of the less responsible cattle
growers impose uixm their neigh
bors by allowing said neighbors to
buy all the expensive bulls for the
use of their less scrupulous fellow
cattle raisers. Both are good laws
and by their enactment on May 22,
the cattle industry of the state
moves apace.
Wool Market Strong
While all lines of industry prac
tically in the United States will ex
perience an improved demand this
year, and in most instances a
marked advance in price, the wool
market promises to be the highest
that it has been for years. Com
menting on the outlook an author
ity write3 as follows:
Shearing is now under way in the
Yakima Valley and a number of
sales have been made, which are
the first transactions in shorn wools
this season in the Pacific North
west. About 150,000 pounds of
wool were disposed of, and in
cluded in the sale was the clip of
the Yakima Sheep Company, of
some 125,000 pounds. The prices
paid ranged from 19 to 20 cents for
fine and 23 to 26 cents for coarse
wool. Last year these wools
brought 12 to 18 cents.
The samples received here indi
cate . that the early Washington
wools will be better than last year's
and very good for that territory
Buyers will be in the Yakima sec
tion next week. Other sheep out
fits are shearing there and the
wools will, no doubt, sell as fast as
shorn.
No contracting has been reported
in Oregon or Western Idaho of
recent date. Dealers stand ready
to take on business, but growers
refuse to sell ahead at the prices
offered.
Throughout the West contracting
is less active than a fortnight ago,
but the scattered transactions re
ported show no loss of strength in
the market Some business has
been done at Dillon, Mont., at 26$
cents and further buying in Utah
at 25 cents is reported. From
Nevada comes the announcement of
the sale of the Taylor clip at 22 i
cents. No additional selling is re
ported from Arizona, where shear
ing is in full swing. Texas sends a
rumor that an Italian buyer has
takpn a Wrap mmnHrv nf wool in
-- ,- -
the Kio Grande country, but no
Pnces are Klven
The foreign wool markjts con
tinue very firm and the strength is
reflected in the domestic markets
in the East.
