Depredations of Past Few M011U19
Indicate Concerted Movement by
Organized Band Convictions
May Clieck Operations.
SHANIKO. Or., May 15. Facts have
Just come to light here indicating that
there exists ill Southeastern and Cen
tral Oregon an association of cattle
men who have declared war upon wire
ftncoe, no matter by whom they are
owned cattlemen, sheepmen or horse
man. This association is alleged to have
begun operations in early Spring, when
seven miles of wire fence belonging
to th oorsemao, Russell, in Harney
County, was cut in every panel. A
little later a mile of fence belonging
to the Mackintosh Livestock Company,
near Faulina, Crook County, was treat
ed in a like manuer, and finally a mile,
af wire surrounding land leased by-J.
N. W!lliamn shared a similar fate.
The alleged perpetrators of the last
depredation were " caught, convicted
and sentenced to four years in the
Penitentiary. 1
This association is alleged to be
composed for tne most part of men who
are comparatively honest, but they are
Infinitely more to be dreaded than
mere stock thieves or highwaymen.
They strike at night generally, under
cover of darkness and in rains, so that
their tracks will not show from
whence they come or whither' they go,
and leave a trail of destruction In their
wake.
Contribute to Expense Fund.
Many cattlemen of Eastern Crook,
Southeastern Grant and Northwestern
Harney Counties are said to be banded
together for the purpose of doing away
with the obnoxious wire fence around
rar ge lands which are owned or leased.
Every man connected with this or
ganization has to contribute something
toward iis expenses, in a horse, or sad
dle, or money to furnish-means for
some selected member to "trim" a
more fortunate stockman. who . has
leased and fenced his range. It makes
no difference what the stockman oper
ates, whether sheep, cattle or a horse
ranch, he is liable at any time to meet
with disaster to his property and is
powerless to help hiriiself or to get
redress. .
The wire fence has become the ob
ject of the association's attacks, for
the reason that the cattlemen want the
range left open, free for all, a condi
tion that will never exist again in Ore
gon east of the. mountains. They do
not take kindly to the Idea of leasing
their ranges, nor do they want any
one else to do so; hence the trouble.
The cities of these counties are peo
pled with decent, law-abiding citizen
who look upon the outlaws as being but
little better than common robbers. They
realize that there Is np law or property
that the band will respect so long am it
interferes with the cattle business, are
' helpless and hopeless about bringing the
depredations to an end. yet are patiently
longing for the time when the associa
tion shall either have died out or have
yielded to the proper sense of justice and
ceased to regard the earth as belonging
to it alone. This solution seems to be
afar off.
Convictions Are Salutary.
The recent conviction in Crook County,
H is thought, will serve as a check on
these acts lawlessness, for some time
at least. One man in the penitentiary
and another at its gates Is the net result
of the last wire-cutting, house-burning
and poisoning in Crook County, wherein,
the authorities say. such things must
cease at once and forever.

The County of Washington will have a

Sentiment on Prohibition Said to
Have Changed Business Condi
tions Show Improvement in
Dry Counties ' and Cities.
McMINNVILLE. Or., May 15. (Spe
cial.) The "wets" have filed with the
County Clerk a petition calling for a
vote this' June to determine whether
or not saloons will be allowed in
Yamhill County during the, next two
years. The vote- is to be taken on the
county as a whole. Yamhill has been
in the dry column during the past
two years, and, if public sentiment as
expressed by the mercantile and busi
ness interests generally, is any criteri
on, the drouth will become much deep
er rooted this year than ever before.
Four years ago the local, option
question was voted on for the first
time. The county went dry by 12 ma
jority, but upon a technicality the
County Court decided that the saloon
interests had won. ' Two years ago
there was a decisive and unmistaken
majority of 237 for prohibition, in the
entire county. . -
Considering the fact that the busi
ness Interests in many of the incor
porated towns were pretty generally
arrayed against prohibition at the
time for what, they believed to be
good business reasons, and considering
also that the conditions at present are
not ,as fearful as the theories were
then, it is conceded generally that the
move of the saloon interests to again
submit the question to a vote was ill
advised. It is true that the 11 incorporated
towns of the county have been forced
to levy , a small tax for public main
tenance in lieu of the saloon revenue.
Itr is true, on the other hand, that mer
chants report increased cash - sales
from the time the saloons went out -of
existence, and it Is true, in McMinnville
at least, that there is not a? vacant
store building in the place, ana scarce
ly an empty dwelling, with some newly-arrived
families living In . tents.
Every town in the county has pros
pered and made substantial Improve
ment during the past two years, and
the country districts iiave kept pace
with the procession.
SENTIMENT SHOWS CHANGE
Vote of Two Years Ago Not Consid-
ered as Criterion in Eugene.
EUGENE, Or, May 15. (Special.)
The citizens of Lane County will vote
again on county prohibition. This will
be brought about by a petition circu
lated by the liquor interests.
Eugene and Springfield two years
ago both voted wet, but went dry
when the complete .count from Lane
County was in. Eugene gave a ma
jority of 39 against prohibition, ' while
Springfield gave a majority of 9. The
total majority in the county for pro
hibition was 228.
According to the local option la,w
it will be necessary to have the county
go wet. before even those precincts
voting wet can go back to "the saloon.
The fact that Springfield and Eugene
went against prohibition two years
ago is not an indication that these
towns will do so this year. In Eugene
especially there is a considerable ques
tion as to what the outcome will be.
A great many voters in this city op
posed prohibition two years ago be
cause of the adverse effect they con
sidered it would have upon business.
At that time there were 12 saloons in
the town, . all occupying good build
ings. 'The fact that -within less than
a year all the buildings occupied by
saloons had been re-rented, in most
cases at an advance rate, and In no
case less than formerly charged, and
the fact that busintss conditions were
better than they had been for years
and th,at every available room in 3u
gene is. at present occupied by some
business concern with a constant de
mand for more these facts have
changed the attitude of some men who
are now outspoken for continuation
of the prohibition which they formerly
opposed.
On the other hand those who op
pose prohibition and who consider it
is ' better for the moral and business
interests to have saloons, will be active
toward securing a reversal of condi
tions in the whole county.

HOPE TO MAKE COUNTS "DRY"
Prohibitionists in Washington Begin
. Active Campaign.
HILLS BORO, Or., May 16. (Special.)
Three prohibition petitions have been
filed in this countyone for an entire
county vote, one embracing West Butte,
South Tualatin and the two Hillsboro
precincts, including the incorporated1
county seat, and one embracing the in
corporated village of Cornelius and South
Forest Grove.
South Forest Grove is a dry precinct.
or at least so considered, and the hope
of the Prohibitionists is that its vote
will overcome the wet vote of Cornelius,
where two saloons are conducted and
which has always voted wet. Cornelius
precinct has a strong German vote, and
this is especiaiy true in the country. This
vote is not as a rule prohibition, and the
dry people, therefore, linked South For
est Grove with It.
. Hillsboro has four saloons, which pay
a license of 600 each.
At the last Presidential election the
Prohibitionists tailed a counlycampalgn
and. owing to the strong German ele
ment, it was beaten nearly 1000 votes.
While the Prohibition people do not feel
enthusiastic as to the county going dry,
they believe they stand a good show to
carry the subdivision contests.

SEATTLE, Wash., May 15. (Special.)
Worry over an anonymous letter is
responsible for- the commitment of
Fred Carr to the insane asylum, says a

they appear for the claimants. Some of
the best known representative men of

the law.
