WNDLETON,, Aug. .-Tha Pendleton

"Ths withdrawal of 600 square mllea
In the Blua Mountains and thelf adjacent
range ; to this state from settlement in
Order to create a forest reserve, new
f which lias just spread over the state,
Is reported to be causing considerable
anxiety among sheep men who have been
In the habit of grazing their sheep over
the territory now taken from the publlo
domains, and the question of whether
r not they will be allowed to continue
running their sheep over these grounds is
.agitating their minds.
'. "Should It be found that fears "Jong
this llbe are well founded, protest upon
protest will be poured Into Washington,
as the withdrawal of such a great area
of country from the use of sheep men
at one time would seriously affect the
woolgrowlng 'Industry throughout the
astern portion of the state.
HOPE IN RffiSERIVB CREATION.
"it the reserve were ultimately cre
ated, and grasing permitted, then, as in
the ease of other forest reserves In
Wasfcingtoa and Oregon, grasing would
be permitted by special allotment of
range, and overcrowding would be a
thing of the past. A great many sheep
now ranging on this great area would
be forced Into other fields, but every
sheep man hopes te be the lucky one,
and anything, stock men think. Is bet
ter than the condition which Involves
shooting' of whole bands of sheep and
threatening men's lives. If gracing Is
permitted, the creation of the reserve
will be welcomed. If grazing is not to
be allowed, a hard fight from Eastern
Oregon will be made against the propo
sition. OTHER QUESTIONS INVOLVED.
"Iaasmuoh as the proposed reserve is
designed for the preservation of naturul
watersheds and the advancement of lr
rlgatlon Interests, chances for sheep men
getting in on the new arrangement are
thought to be pretty slim. Sheep are
accused of destroying the sources of
water, Ttoe watersheds, of John Pay are
within the area marked off, and there
has been long discontent because the im
mense volume of the John Day's forks,
now three streams as useless as any to
be found anywhere, was not stored in
reservoirs and used for Irrigation on
the innumerable small valleys and the
sagebrush land scattered within reach.
"Details are anxiously waited in all the
large Howns contiguous to the . country
affected. The Interest of cattle men,
sheepmen, residents, as opposed to out
siders and small stock men, are so hope
lessly interwoven that people are won
dering how the Department will get
them straightened out. Meanwhile the
siieep man worries most of all."

little wheat te the warehouses.

County CJerk's office at The Dalles, ar
ticles 'of incorporation were filed for a
company to build a railroad between The
Dalles and Biggs, Sherman . County,
which is the terminus of the Columbia
Southern. The capital stock Is $500,000,
and the Incorporators are Walter H.
Moore, of Moro E. M. Williams and
Joseph T. Peters, of this place. This
new road may be made to serve two
purposes, first as a connection between
the terminus the Columbia Southern
and the navigable waters of the Colum
bia River below Tho Dalles, and sec
ondly as a portage-road around the un
navlgable portion of the river1,, It is
evident from this that, the O. R. tt N.
Co. will no longer be able to command
the traffic of the Columbia Southern
and may bring about active competition
between, the two roads.
