Chart Coon, the well known wool au
thority and tailor of Portland a sat aa official
of th National orgatriaattest, la making a very
determined effort to have a saeetnmg called foe
toss cny to fflsnus th reason to tha great
doerao ia the ahara flocks oa th raagee at
the Pacific Northwest.
Mr. Coooey ha axonssit th ootnioa that
the flock could be greatly taereaaed here by
the utilization of logged eft leads providing the
ds using interests of the paetflo jiortawest
would got behind the movement aad help puah
it forward. - .
Ia th eastern state the banking fraternity
ha taken hold of th matter and aa Purchased
many carloads of sheep ia the wet to restock
th farm east of the Rookie.
Mr. Coopey ha called th matter to th
attention of 1C S. Woodcock, president of the
First National bank of Corvallla, who write:
"Tomr son mentioned that yoa were ia Cor-
vallia and handed to me The Journal of the
sixteenth ' "'" your article eatiUed. Ore
goa Mast Increase this SStpply of Sheep oa tb
Farma. 1 am very . aorry, iadeed. that I did
not get to see you,
"1 notice your article doe not aay anything
boat th killing of doe so a to permit what
few- sheap we have to live. It waa only a short
tim ago two dogs agaia attacked my floek aad
killed on nice sheep, brts worrying all of
the remainder. . -
"The only way- te induce farmer to n
sheep i to kill th do."
Mr. Coopey' reply waa:
"I note what yon have to aay regarding the
dog. I quit agree with yon. a th dog are
doing a great a meant of damage. Only today
IX B. McBrid. a Sootchra hare la Porta nd.
was telling m where the doga bad killed 1
Cotawoid for hi.
Now 'if yon will aotloo. Mr. Woodcock, la
my suggestion for a get-together meeting I did
not mention any particular thing that was kill
ing tb sheep industry, thinking that the meeting
would be the place to bring all these condition
before tb public Then tot the public put them
selves oa record with resole, rJ one making suc-
gestien for remedies to euro tb erils we are
now suffer! ag under.
We want to take thla ratter ap aad bring
to th public notice everything that w killing
on of Oregon's great industries. When I get
things into shape for as to hav this meetiai
will tak car to let you know aad ahau osrtaiav
