THE RESERVE QUESTION AGAIN
91.
.T. Amlt-muii Answer Mr. Iliintiiy
uuil l'ro'enM the Other Side or
tlio Qucntloii.
Editok Chuoniclk :
While understanding the position you
'have taken regarding the closing of the
Cascade Fo-cst .Reserve to sheep, yet
bttlievinv t ha C a reply to a communica
tion should be printed, if rjossible, in
the same paper as the original com
munication, I would ask space.
As a repn B.'iitative of over one thous
and residents of the foothills of Wasco
county, who have signed t lie petition
(referred to Uy A. A. Bonney in yi ur
issue of Sept L'Gtl.) as!;itig that six miles
more be added to the reserve on the
east slo e from White river to Moeier,
and leHt his communication should mis
lead some of your readers, I would
explain the .situation.
. Iu the first pluiie these 1000 fool farin
as are not the disinterested individuals
Mr. Uonuey would have people believe;
and i:i the eecond place they are not
fighting the great ''cheep interests" of
the state.
The situation is about this: Not more
than ten Bhec-nowners are interested in
securing pasiuraue in the territory
mentioned, and Mr. Bonney is one ot
the ten. The swamps and slopes about
the headwaters of the numerous small
etreams have long been a favorite eum
mer range tor sheep; for a number of
years there lias been a noticeable de
crease in the water supply, and each
year u louder growl coming from those
located along the streams about sheep
causing the decrease. The complaint
reaching the proper officials in Wash
ington a year ago, a special examination
was made, (not to inquire as to whether
ebeep were injurious to forests, but to
eee if on account of heavy rainfall this
country was an exception to all others;
and this portion of the reserve at once
was orderod closed.
The closing lor one year-and the pro
tection of the young growth from sheep,
compared with the destruction wtonght
on adjoining Bi'ctions upon which sheep
were pastured, convinced every m-n
who investigated that sheep must go
from about the headwaters of the
streams upon which the agricultural
sections are dependent. The eight or
ten men interested in preventing the
cloiitK; of the sis miles asked for dure
not request the department to send an
unprejudiced sptcial agent to exainice
the condition of the protected and un
protected land on 6-Mile, Ramsey, and
15-Mile creeks, and rest their case on
his report.
It doetn't take a "forestry crank" to
dttcide whether sheep are doing nn in
jury to the streams, foreats and farms
uling this particular portion of the
mountains; in fact no man would think
of disputing it unless he had been, like
Mr. Bonney, twenty-four years in Ihe
sheep busineia and acquainted with
ninety per cent of the people, So his
(natives being known, hU understand
ing would not be questioned.
Though this anti sheep fight is hitter,
and almost every man from Moeier to
Wauile, who is not ditcctly interested
In sheep, has asked for an extension of
the line of the reserve, yet there is no
light against the pasturing of sheep on
the reserve further couth where there ii
'no chance of conflictinit with agricultural
Interests, and whorotlie pasture id woi th
much more than the umber cn ever be
The few sheepmen who have been
scouting along the foothills are largely
to blame for much of the agitation, and
as Mr. Bonney lias gone into print I
will just mention his portion of It as a
sample: Only n week or two before lie
wrote the communication to the CmtoN
ici.k, he moved a band of sheep from
Tygh to Five-Mile (through the heavy
fir timber about Kingsley) and drove
thc-m twice through n farm fenced with
n four-wire barbed-wire fence, pasturing
them in the field on each occasion. At
another place on the line of ills drive,
where a farmer was absent from homo
with a threshing machine, ho returned
to find his rail-fence had been taken
down, the band of sheep deliberately
let into the enclosure and pastured, and
the fence afterward replaced. The first
mentioned victim notified Mr. Bonney
and received personal apologies and
promises. The second victim is etill
measuring foot-prints and sheep-tracks,
and hunting evidence to go intocouit
with.
Such things as tlio above are of very
frequent occurence; probably half the
farmers along the timber edge have had
similar or worse experiences, and Mr.
Bonney has the satisfaction of knowing
he is no worse nor better than his eight
or ten associates, and it is only fear of
taking too much Epace that prevents
mention of a few more cases.
Hoping that the woolgrowers will
make some effort to have Mr. Bonney
and his associates draw their shoep away
from the vicinity of the farm lands, and
thus allow an agitation to ceaEe which,
if continued, will cause great loss to the
sheepmen of the wliolu state, I am
Youif,
M. J. AxuEUSOS,
Sec'y W. C. Forest Protective Ass'n.

There is more Catarrh in th:3 Bection
of the country than all othe diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science ha? proven catarrh
tobe a constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.

TROOPS ARE
UNPREPARED
British Esjtct Early Reverses in
Sontb Africa.
GOVERNMENT
IS BLAMED
Boers Gathering on Border Eighty
Men of the Oranuc Free State
Artillery Have Arrived and Taken
Their Positiono at Volksrust Point,
Close to the Natal Border.
London, Oct. 5. The general drift of
news indicates that the position of the
British troaps in South Africa is critical,
owing to the delay iu sending reinforce
ments, and in the event of hostilities
early reverses are retarded us probable.
Ttie latest advices show that the Trant
vaal mobilization has been rapid and
comprehensive. Many Boers, it is said,
did not wait to be commanded, but pro
ceeded to the border spontaneously. It
is calculated that the Orange Free State
already has 7000 men on tho border.
Artillery at Volksrust.
London, Oct. 2. Advices from Cape
Town says dispatches received there to
day from Charleston-!, Natal, announces
that eighty members of the Orange Free
State artillery, with six guns, have ar
tived ut Volksruat Point, in the Trans
vaal close to the Natal border.
Officials at Charlestown has received a
telegram from the colonial secretary in
answer to the inquiry instructing them
to remain absolutely still and offer no
resistance.
Absence of News.
London, Oct. 2. Tho announced in
tention of the Britisli cabinet to meet to
morrow has apparently been recon
sidered. It is now said that the meeting
depends largely upon the developments
in the Transvaal.
The date for summoning parliament
has not been definitely settled, ulthough
it is said to be October 19. The queen
will hold a private council at Balmoral
at an early date, when the necessary
proclamation will be signed. The remark
able absence of news from South Africa
this morning leads to the belief that
there has been a widespread cutting ol
telegraph wires or that an txtra censor
ship has been established. Thare is no
Transvaal news yet todav, so there is
nothing to soften the excitement and
bellicosity caused by yesterday's die
patches; neither is there anything to
indicate tint t the authorities at Pretoria
have the slightest desire to come to terms
peacefully with Great Britain.
Uriton vs. Yankee.
Nkw Yoiik, Oct. 2. The Columbia
and Shamrock will meet in their first
race for the American cup, at about 11
o'clock tomorrow morning. Experts
expect that the race will prove a contest
as earnest and as interesting as any that
has preceded it for a international yacht
ing trophy, wiit-re skill nnd judgment
will play as important a part as the
speed of the respective boats.
