but fifty per cent of its normal crop, and
yet we will have enough for our own

Whilu they are very scarce in this sec
tion, and Mio whole crop for export in
Hood Iiivor will not be more than 4,000

any such exorbitant price as $3 a box.

Common Ntnso Talk on the Iteeerve
Qui-Ktlon 1y One Who Knows.
Tygii Valley, Ore., Sept. 18.
Editoii Ciikonicle :
In accordance with my promise, I will
write von a few lines about tho Cascade
Forest Iieeerye. Now, in the firEt place,
I would like to notice the interview
given to tho Oregonian by Mr. Wilson,
secretary of agriculture. It may be pre
sumption on my part to offer sugges
tions to so august a person as the Hon.
Secretary of Agriculture, but I submit
that any ordinary citizen ought to be
able to see as much in twenty-four
years' actual occupancy of the forest re
serve aa the Hon. Secretary could potsi
bly see in two daya from the spacious
windows of the Hotel Portland, or from
the less pretentious windows of the
palace car in which be crossed the state
Now, the Hon. Secretary says sheep
grazing should be prohibited in the
forest reserve, as tho sheep eat and
trample down the young timber. Now
if such is tho fact. I agree that sheep
should bo excluded. But before this
Btep be taken I think it ia due to tho
people interested in this great industry,
to take some pains to ascertain if it be a
fact that sheep really do destroy the
growtlupf young timber. And on the
determination of this questiun tho gov
eminent should rest itB case.
Between tho owners of bheep and the
owners of cattle the old question of
range is ever present; and has been drag
ged into tho forest reserve controversy
Owners of cattle say : "Yes, sheep de
stroy tho timber;" and as!: the depart
meut to exclude them from the summer
ranges, in order to give more room to
cattle. And now the cattlemen come
forward with a petition to tho depart
ment, signed largely by persons who
really care nothing for it either way, to
Increase tho area of tho forest reserve to
still further curtail tho pasturage for
sheep. And I will say light hero that I
believe I have a speaking acquaintance
with ninety per cent of tho voters of
Wasco county, and many in Crook
county, and 1 know their individual
opinions well ; and I will make the sug
gestion that if tho government should
come out with a proposition to exclude
all stock from the forest reterve, a howl
would go up that would astonish some
people. Iain personally interested in
raising both cattle and sheep, and If I
could believe what most of the cattle
men lay down as facts, I should not
personally object to sheep being ex
cluded, for my business friends could as
well Increase their holdings of cattle aa
to hold sheep.
I reported officially last fall 140,000
sheep In Wasco county in November. I
do not expect to find owned in tho
county ou tho samo date this full, over
100,000 sheep, and the decrease in num
bers is not duo to the losses of a hard
winter, as 1 expect to hear someone say,
but entirely to the annoyance and sus
pense attending the agitation of this
summer range question; and if the de
partment carries out its threats to ex-

elude sheep froai the mountains, one
year hence Wasco county will not own
50,000 sheep. Sheep cannot exist on
the ranges of Wasco county without ac
cess to the mountains.
Now, I would like to ask the citizens
of Wasco county if the taxable wealth
of the county will not be greatly re
duced. Cattle cannot increase to take
their places, and much of the county is
totally unfit for any other purposes un
less the pasturing of worthless cayuse
horses can be called an industry.
But to get back where I left off on the
timber question, I want to eay, that in
twenty-four years' observation, I have
never yet seen one little timber tree
bitten off by a sheep. Nor have I ever
eeen sheep trample down any timber no
matter how small. Sheep would die of
starvation long before they would injure
much timber. Sheep do not eat fir,
pine, larch or hemlock. And, again,
I have bad occasion to travel this sum
mer for more than thirty miles alone
tho eastern boundry of the Cascade
Forett Reserve, over a country where
tho grazing is free to all kinds of stock
at all seasons of the year, and the
ground ia everywhere growing up to
timber, trees of all ages. Many thickets
have opened up within the last few
years. No section of Oregon haB been
more persistently and continuously
pastured than tho timber lands lying
back of Kingeley, in Wasco county. And
yet the timber ia getting ontinua'ly
thicker year by year. Any one who
will go there can ceo for himself. If
tho Hon. Secretary would take the
trouble to go there he could see it too.
All over Oregon it is the same, except
as the growth is kept dowu by hres,
timber ia all tho time increaaiug. What
farmer in tho Willamette Jalley would
ever think of trying to keep tho young
firs from encroaching on hie prairie lands
by pasturing with sheep. And yet we
aro tola mat pernaps less man two
dozen sheep to the section of land, for
one-four'th of the you ut most, ore ruin
ing the Cascade mountains, denuding
them of their timber and drying up tho
streams. A. A. Bonney,
Stock Inspector for Wasco County.
