There Is a dlvWon of sentiment upon this subject. Pome favor the theory that no chance can better be secured by tak ing "Schedule K" under the wrings of the society and thus unite all faction en-a-aa-ed tn the wool Industry. Other main tain that by standing- for no chance In the tariff on raw wool better results can be secured. tt Is averted that the fight between the carded and the worsted wool manu facturers can end In no other way than disaster to the protected Interests as they now exist. With Edward Molr. of Mar cll us. N. T-. president of the Carded Wool Association of the United States demanding; and Insisting upon a revision of the tariff, so as to rive the carpet men a better chance, and President Whitman, cf Boston, president of the National W ool Manufacturers, equally Insistent that . there be no chance n "Schedule K. the flockmaster Is placed In the predicament that. 1f he chooses sides, be will eel in trouble and suffer in the end. Fingers 3Iay B Burned. "tt looks to me. said Hugh Campbell. f Phoenix. Aria., president of the Arl tona State Woolgrowers' Association, "as If we were asked to pull someone's chest ruts out of the fire. The only thine which I am afraid of is that we will ret our Oncers burned. It Is a very delicate situation. AH of our trouble has come from the fight between the editor of one of our trade papers and Mr. Whitman, the head of the wool manufacturers. Molr. the carded woolman. has jumped Into the arena and the three are fighting It out In the hope of skinning our hides and retting cheap raw material for their factories." The entire question is to be discussed upon the floor of the convention and the debates are expected to be fraught with interest, owing to the unusual features of the situation. The only ray of hope to be found by the flockmaster. accord ing to the view expressed by some of the delegates who arrived during the day. was In the creation of a permanent tariff board. It was felt that in this board some of the newspaper agltat'on could be stopped: that the results attained from an Investigation would lead to a con firmation of their wishes by the retention of the present duty upon raw wool. At the same time. If the board was created they said It would at least give a chance to argue for a report and thus put off the discussion threatened In Congress. Schedule K" Is Topic. During the day wherever two delegates met the discussion Immediately started upon "Schedule K." The eheeprrower. no matter tn what state or district may be found his flock. Is surprisingly well post ed on the tariff question. William Smith, of Arlington. Or., who is the owner of J0."O head of sheep. In speaking of the danger In which the hepman s at the present time, said: "We have got to have protection. We ran t live without It. It costs more to produce a head of sheep than ever It did before. We hare Just gone through the serervst year In the history of the busi ness. Last Winter we had to feed our steep bay to keep them alive and at that we did not get a very rood return from the natural growth of the herd, be cause the loss from the hard Winter was ery heavy v. This Winter It Is different. We have had one of the mildest Win ters In the history of the business, and It looks to me as If we were bound to list a the biggest clip and one of the richest grade that we have ever had. "While the pat look la rosy enough from the Immediate prospect, on tlie other l and, the tariff sltaton Is really dan gerous to the Industry. t'nless me get protection It will not be long before the wool and the mutton business will bo a rar on the market and the sheepman will be forced to close his books for want ef money to continue It." llnrkmaMrr Most Think. Mor.te Gainn. of Malheur County, also heavily Interested in one of the largest sheep ranches of the state. In expressing his 'opinion declared: "It Is time for the fockmaster to think for himself without having his thoughts cast In groves by tlie manufacturer. I am tired myself of this MghbroW figuring for protection of the clothmaker. His Irteresta are solely in getting free wool and the only reason for Ms friendliness to the slieepralser Is that he has not strength alone to command successful attention from the Represent atives In Congress." T. V. Boylan. of Pendleton, also ex preeed bis views on the subject In a t.mi:ir vein. Government Work Told. Among the visitors at tlie National tieadouarters in the Hotel Oregon during the day was Dr. R. A. Ramsey, Associate "bief of the Inspection Division of the B'ireau of Animal Industry, of Washing ton. D. C. He said: Tlie Government Is spending yearly Jl to improve the condition of the livstork in this country and for meat In spection, to protect the consumer. What Is the result of this enormous expendi ture of money? The United States today has the soundest and the most healthful livestock in the world. There baa been an enormous increase In the healthful condition of the herds. Take It In Ore gon. Before the bureau was established it was a common expression among the sheepmen that you could not have aheep without scan. Today the state is prac tically free from the disease." Moat of the delegates from the Kast. whose chief Interest lies in the holding of the National convention, are expected to arrive today. President Gooding, of Shoshone, Idaho, who baa declared that under no circumstances would he be a candidate for re-election, has caused some Inquiry as to a possible successor. J. M. Wilson, of Douglass, Wyo.. who Is frequently mentioned ss the "daddy of the woolgrower." is suggested as a candi date, it Is understood that It Is against Mr. Wilson's wishes that his name Is be ing mentioned. He will arrive this morn ing at 11:30. Others suggested for the position are Secretary Walker and Dan I Smythe, of Pendelton. It Is more than likely that some man from Califor nia will be in the field, according to the views of some. Work at the Armory proceeded rapidly and today the establishing of the exhibits on the ground floor for the mld-Wlnter show will be completed. Sheep to the number of 0 will be brought from the Union Siockyards this morning and driven up Tenth street from the railway tracks, permission having been received from Mayor Simon. The show will open at the same hour as the National conven tion and It Is expected when all the ex hibits have been placed In the pens pro vided that there will be 600 sheep. 300 goats and about SO dogs of the Scotch collie breed. The programme of the National asso ciation provides for a four days' session, with addresses upon every phase of the questions which are agitating the sheep raiser. One whole day Is given over to the tariff question, while the forest ran ger, the Bureau of Animal Industry, the wool warehouse and the perfection of an organisation to protect the flockmaater's Interests are given their share of the printed programme. IDAnO DEMANDS PRESIDENCY Large Delegation Coming to Nation al Convention. BOTSR. Idaho, Jan. t. (Special.) The Idaho State Woolgrowera Associa tion. In session here today, pledged to transport Its entire membership to Portland tomorrow afternoon to lay before the National Woolgrowers As sociation its assertion that Idaho should control the convention by virtue of the fact it Is the largest wool state In the Union, and should for that rea son dictate the next president of the National association. In support of this resolution, the Idaho association pledged to support A. J. Knollln. of Chicago, and Frank Hegenbarth. of Spencer. Idaho, for Na tional president. Frank R. Gooding. ex-Governor, de clared class legislation la being used against the woolmen because they have to bear the expense- of exterminating predatory animals. The association passed a resolution declaring Its opposition to the tariff-on-wool question being made a politi cal football, and favored appointment of an unpartisan tariff commission.

On every train from the South and East, the Oregon sheepraisers are ar riving with tariff arguments to at tend the annual gathering of the Ore gon State Woolgrowers' Association, which will open at 9 o'clock this morn ing at the Armory. President George McKnlght, of Vale. Or., and Vice-President Jay H. Dobbin, of Joseph, Or., made their appearance in the after noon In the headquarters of the asso ciation at the Imperial Hotel. "There was no storm when I left Eastern Oregon," said President Mc Knlght. "Reports received tonight in dicate that the weather la very agree able and that the sheepowners will come on the early trains In the morn ing. I expect a very large attendance. We have only one theme the tariff. We have all forgotten the troubles with the Forestry Service, the battle with 'sheep scab and the many, troubles of the flockmaster with his wool clip. All because Ida Tarbell, the Nemesis of John D. Rockefeller, has rushed Into print and given a scream on the tariff. Just what we will do I do not know, for I have not had a chance to con sult with my associates, but we will no doubt have something to say on the tariff." The real beginning of the woolgrow ers' meetings was at 7:30 last night when Fred Lockley, manager of .the Pacific Monthly, appeared at the head of the Business Men's special commit tee at the Imperial to welcome the officials of the Oregon State Asso ciation to Portland. In a few words he told President McKnlght that Port land is glad to have the sheepgrowers here. Following this came a reply and general handshaking. Vice-President Jay Dobbin, of Joseph, expressed his views of the deep appreciation which was felt with regard to Port land for providing such an excellent programme of entertainment during the week. "This large sum of money," said Mr. Smythe, "Is distributed yearly within the borders of the state' and adds ma terially to the prosperity. I do not know of any other Industry which gives 2500 owners such good returns. There are larger Industries where more capital Is interested and where more money Is received, but usually It Is spread among a greater number of people." There were speeches of welcome from Dr. J. R. Wetherbee, D. O. Lively and C. S. Jackson. Today's programme opens at o'clock In the morning at the Armory with an invocation by Rev. Luther K. Dyott, pastor of the First Congrega tional Church.
