THE OREGON HUMANE
SOCIETY PLEADS FOR
RANGE STOCK ,
Uniform Laws Urged For Protection
Of Animals In Winter From
Starvation.
The Oregon State Humane Society
has had surveys made of range con
ditions in that state and authorize
the statement that there will be heavy
losses of cattle and sheep this winter
on the ranges from starvation. A
report to the Chicago Drovers Journal
says: "There are bone-dry conditions
over large areas of the western range
states. Livestock is going into win
ter quarters with famine staring it in
the face and prices of hay advancing
rapidly. Credit hs been largely ex
hausted and advances by the war Fin
ance Corporation to banks and cattle
loan companies have relieved the
banking situation but will not save the
stock. Cowmen are mortgaging their
ranches to buy hay. Losses from the
slump in prices of cattle are heavy,
and individual . herders and cattle
firms -will be helpless to save their
stock. Losses of half a million head
in eastern Oregon last winter will
reach into millions if the coming win
ter is not mild and open." Col. Hofer
appeared before the national Humane
convention In St Paul with a plea for
the range stock and advocates state
and national action to save the indus
try from terrible losses, if the coming
winter is a hard one.
What Can Be Done. . .
Asked what could be done to pre?
vent injury and. disaster to live stock
on the ranges he said: "There must
be legislation to make it a crime to
withhold sustenance from live stock
on the ranges just as it is against the
law to starve a domestic animal in
cities under most state laws. Custom
and tradition permit owners of herds
and flocks and managers of cattle and
sheep corporations to live in comfort
in, cities and winter in California and
Florida .while their dumb animals
freeze, starve and die of thirst by mil
lions on the ranges. - A herd may lose
10 to 60 per cent in winter and the
remainder come out skin-and-bones
and nothing done. If the price goes
up they make it back on the survivors.
The last government statistics for the
winter.of .4918-19 show 2,247,000 cattle,
1,606,000 sheep arid a vast number of
lambs- -perished from "sta(4E?9tibn. A
fgw years ago nearly the entire cattle
industry of Montana and Nevada was
wiped out by freezing and starving.
The stock rustle in two to four feet of
snow and break through the ice and
sdroyn tryifcg to get to the waterin
rapidly rushing rivers partly frozen

EXCURSION BUREAU
PROMISED FEATURE
One of the unique features., during
the Oregon 1927 exposition, will be the
organization of a large bureau to spe
cialize in excursions to various sec
tions of the state to show exposition
visitors activities la which they are
particularly interested.
If the state measure authorizing
Portland to tax itself for the exposi
tion is passed in November, Immediate
steps will be taken to organize this
feature. Trained men will be placed
in charge of the excursion headquart
ers to be maintained on the exposition
grounds. .
The plan provided that persons in
terestedJn any special line of agricul
ture, Industry, stock raising, mining
or other activity, will be taken to the
districts where these things may be
seen and studied first hand.
Thus, it is believed that the work
of interesting the exposition visitors in
Oregon can be greatly amplified.
Throughout the exposition every er
fort will be made to present Oregon's
possibilities and opportunities to all
who pass through the gates of the fair.
Arrangements are already com
pleted for the carrying on of an Inter
national publicity campaign, to begin
immediately after the November elec
tion, If the state measure Is approved.
This campaign wll also feature.-Ore

One of the most vigorously contested

ously contested also;
The result on the city hall site was
Hill site. Yes 911, No 697. Downtown
site, Yes 399, No 1091. This means that '
the voters instructed the council to
purchase the Caufield property, corner
of Seventh and John Adams streets.
