HLOT KOCK, April 5. (Siwial.)
While the grass la U tter than it has
been at this time of year for upwards of
ton ymrs, and tho protqxicts generally
good for the flockmastors of Umatilla
County, nevertheless their complaints
are many. Douglas Helta, prcsideul ofi
the Woolgrouera' Association, in con
versation with yourcorresK)iidont, said:
"It looks to thi sheepmen very much
aa if there was a conspiracy on foot to
drive them out of the business. I see
by the papers that CoinniisKioner Rich
ards is quoted as having said that the
established rule of the I-and Office with
reference to all laud set aside for a res
ervation was that no sheep would be al
lowed to graze thereon, that all who
owned sheep wrthln the boundaries of a
reservation would have to keep them on
their own lands, and where sheep havo
heretofore been grazing on reserves, the
number has been gradually reduced
year by year, until soon there will tie
no more of this in the United States.
TIicho sentiments were expressed by the
CommisHioiier lu conversation with Con
gresHinan Williamson recently, while
diHcuMsiug tho preseut boundaries of the
l'.lue Mountain raiie. It will thus, be
seen," said Mr. Belts, "that we sheop
men must soon get out of tho business.
It w ill destroy one of the most important
industries in the state, but that is what
the cattlemen want to see, it is what the
members of the gun clubs from our cit
ies Iiohi for, and many of the farmers
will wink at It. Why this prejudice ex
ists against the sheepmen I know not,
but it appears to exist, just tho name.
The fact is, the ranging of sheep in
the mountains does not lessen the ter
ritory to Ik covered by the cattlemen.
Cattle are inclined to seek lowlands,
where they well bo near water at all
times, while sheep are inclined to as
cend to tho highest peaks, and have
been known to go without water for
three months at a time. It may inter
fen with the sportmen, as I am ' in
cited to believe deer, elk and bear are
harder to find. Fires, for the most
part originating through the careless
news of nimrods, aro luld at tho door of
the sheephorder.
"I am mw in receipt of a letter from
Salt Lake, In answer to one written a
few days ago regarding the prim of Bait.
Last February we were offered all the
salt we wanted at 12.50 per ton. In the
letter just received I am told the. price
has Ikhmi advanaed to f 10 per ton. The
railroads have added (1 per ten to tho
freight rate on salt, . and, we are now
looking for a slump In the price of wool.
Combinations are being formed to lowor
the price of everything the sheepman
has for sale, and there are combinations
being formed to advance the price of
everything he must buy. What are the
sheepman going to do about UT H'el-
they will be coinpelle J to get out of the
bushiest.
"I, In common with many others in
thla part of Umatilla County, have been
driving my sheep onto tho proposed
Blue Mountain reserve.-In this county
and into Union and Grant Counties,
and If deprived of tho privilege now, we
will bo couiHjllod to sacrifice everything
we have, and either get out of tho coun
try or eiigago in some other business.
So far the percetitago of lambs this
Spring is reported at HO per cent. All
sheepman agree that the weather condi
tions are most favorable. Tho bright
sunshine and frequent rains during tho
pant two weeks have given the grass a
splendid start, and the prosecta for a
good growth of grass this year are most
encouraging.
Texas Oil Field Ablaze.
Dkacmont, Tex., April 15. A flro on
Sidndlo Top, which started at 1 o'clock
this morning, did damage estimated at
from 100,000. to 11,000,000. Two hun
dred and sixty-five derricks were lost.
Two hundred rigs wero on the produc
ing wells. , The fire started from a lan
tern at the Caldwell Oil Company's well.
The flywheel of tho engine struck the
lantern and Ignited the derrick and. tho
flnmoa spread with tremendous rapidity,
three blocks, Not. 30 37 and 33, being
in ashes by 3 o'clock. No effort was
made to extinguish the fire, for it was
impoKpible to get within a hundred feet
of tho Damon. No one was injured.
It was estimated that" two thirds of
the companies in tho burned district
will be unable to recover from the
damage done by the fire.

The Musicians Union of San Francisco

tia companioa of the state. The com

The Musicals.
The Mental Culture Club gave the
last musicale of the season at the club
rooms last night, to which were bidden
the husbands ol tho club women and a
few fortunate friends. The programme
began promptly at 8 :30 and was ren
dered to a most appreciative and respon
sive audience, who followed each num
ber by long continued applause. It
would be extremely difficult to select
any number or numbers from the pro
gramme for particular mention, as there
was not one which seemed to fall short
of its predecessor in fittingness and ex
cellent execution, and all baa been said
in that the entire programme waa.be
yond criticism, reflecting much credit
upon the musical ability of the organ I
ration as a club and particularly so on
