uSHEEP-SHOOTEBS SEND LETTER The following anonymous communication lias been re chived, from the "Crook County v Sheep-slit oters,' Association," with an enclosed report which is, . to say the least, terse and to the point. Just who composed this remarkable organization or whether the communication is genuine is not Known to i ne Oregonian. This is what it. has to a ay regarding the inforcemont of so-called laws in Crook county; Mr. Editor: Seeing that you are giving quite abit of publicity to the sheep-shooters of Crook county, I thought I would lend ! you some assistance by giving; shipment of ammunition that we think will be sufSoient to meot any shortage which might occur on occount of increase of terri tory requiring special protec tion. 'Tn some instauces the wool growers of Eastern Oregon have been so unwise as to olt-r re wnrcB for Hie arrest ana con- j viction of sheep-shooters and i for assaults on herders. Wo j have heretofore warned thm by publication of the danger of surh action, as it might result in our organization having to proceed on the lines that 'dead men tell no tales.' Tins is not to be construed as a threat to commit murder, as we do not B. F. Axikl president, ' Tf'X. IjAtDWIH, CmMu. WillWvkxweilk VlVe l'r. It. IUI.DWIH, AMt. Cwhlor. NO. 3051.

JLruut Mij 1904 Editor Oregonian: I am authorized by this association (the Inland Sheep-shooters) to notify The Oregonian to -dt-sist in the future from publishing matter derogatory to the repu tation of sheep-shooters in Eastern Oregon. We claim to have the banuer county of Ore gon on the progressive lines of sheep-shooting, and it is my pleasure to inform you that we have a little governmt of our own in Crook county, and we would thank The Oregonian and the Governor to attend strictly to their own business and not meddle with the settle ment of the range question in our province. .

If we want more range, we simply fence it in and live up to the maxim of the Golden Rule that possession represents nine points in the law. If fencing is too expensive for the protection of the range, "dead lines" are most effective substitutes and readily manufactured. When sheepmen fail to observe these peaceable obstruciions, we dele gate a committee to notify offenders, sometimes by putting noiices on tent or cabin, and sometimes by publication in one of the leading nespapeis of the county, as follows: " 'You are hereby notified to move this camp within 24 hours, or take the consequences.' (Signed) "'Committee.' "These mild and peaceable ii iiiea.ua iuc uauuuy eiicuLivu, but in cases where they are' not our executive committee takes the matter in hand, and being men of high ideals as well as good shots by moonlight, v they promptly enforce the edicts of the association. "We have recently extended our jurisdiction to cover a large territory on the desert here tofore occupied by sheepmen, and we expect to have to sac rifice a few Hocks of sheep there this winter. Our annnal report shows that we have slaughtered between 8,000 and 10,000 head during the last shooting season, and we are expecting to increase this respectable showing during tho next season, providing the sheep hold out ad the Gov ernor and The Oregonian ob serve the customary laws of -neutrality. We have burned about the uBual number of . camps and corrals this season, aud nave also sunt out quite a number of important warnings,, , which we think .will lmvo' a H salutary effect, ' 'W'r.iuive just recgjve.da at this time, we will not be able to furnish a roll of honor that witl be complimentary to the cause. (Signed) Cor. Secretary 'Crook county Sheep-shooters' Association" of Eastern Ore gon." SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT. "The New Year was duly observed by our brave boys by the slaughter of about 500 head of sheep belonging to a gentle man who had violated our rules or laws. The names of the active participants in this last brilliant action of the asso ciation have not yet been handed in. When they are, wo will take pleasure in recording them on tne roll of honor above men tioned. "The Crook county papers have recently said some uncom plimentary things about our order, which may invite atten tion later on.
