LACK OF FEED.
Many Sheep Men Realize That They
Made a Mistake by Being Too Eco
nomical With Their Forage.
Joseph Connolly, the Cold Springs
sheep man, states that many sheep
men are realizing now wherein they
made a mistake through the winter
m being too economical with their
forage. He avers It would have been
much better had they fed more lib
erally during the winter even at the
risk of running short of feed at this
time, for this reason: Thousands of
ewes have reached the lamhlng sea
son so depleted In flesh and vitality
on account of the skimping they ex
lerlenced two and three months ago,
with tho result that many of the
cider ewes are unable to survive the
lambing period. Moreover, thousands
of the lambs from the younger ewes
are deficient in she and vitality for
the same reason. Another disadvan
tage of the situation that confronts
many sheep men is that on having In
most cases gotten a taste of the grass
that Ib just starting, but which is not
yet plentiful enough to support them,
the sheep are utterly refusing to eat
dry feed even though In many In
stances being nearly starved.
TO BUILD STOCK BARN.
Cheney Bros. Are Adding to and Im
proving Their Dairy Farm.
The Cheney Bros, of the dairy farm
below town, will this spring build a
6tock barn that will stand 60 head of
rows all winter and hold 150 to 200
tons of hay and a proportionate
amount of grain.
The structure will hold all the ap
purtenances of a first-class dairy
barn. Including piping for water,
which will come from a splendid
spring on the same farm. The Che
neys have also bought 320 acres of ad
ditional land a mile and a half from
the old place. The new purchase lies
between Birch and McKay creeks.
Two hundred acres of the new land
will he broken this spring and sum
mer fallowed. The remainder, which
has an excellent natural stand of
hunch grass, will be left for range.
The Cheneys are milking 70 head
of cows, which are grade Holstein.
Durham, Hereford and Jersey. Their
Intention is to work into a grade of
Jersey and Durham. Not grades of
those strains upon natives, but a
grade of those two families, believing
that to be the best all-round dairy
animal.

LARGE SHEEP RANCH.
C. C. Cunningham's Fine Sheep The
Owner One of the Pioneer Sheep
raisers of the Inland Empire.
Within the past few days a repre
sentative of the East Oregonlan spent
the day at the sheep ranch of C C
Cunningham, near Pilot Rock. Mr.
Cunningham is one of tho pioneer
sheepmen of Eastern Oregon. "This
has been a hard year on the sheep
men as well as on the sheep," said
Mr. Cunningham. "I have fed 1.500
tons of hay and 7,000 sacks of grain
this winter I do not remember a
winter for many years when we have
had to feed so continuously as this
season. Many of the sheep men are
out of feed and will lose a good many
sheep. Hay is $10 a ton and very
scarce. I have about 20.000 acres and
20,000 sheep, Ramboulilet and De
laines, about half and half. My fleeces
are weighing on nn average about 10
pounds, some run as high as 20 to 25
pounds. They would weigh more
later, not only on account of the In
creased growth of wool, but also he
cause the grease has not worked up
Into the wool as It does later In the
spring. From my 12,500 pure-blood
breeding ewes I will get something
over 10.000 lambs. You would be
surprised at the market for pure-
blood Oregon sheep. I sold a carload
of bucks to Leland Stanford before
his death. Last season I sold 1 800
young bucks In Montana. This
s an old ranch. I bought It 2C
years ago from the heirs of Ross, the
former owner. He was killed by one
of his sheep herders. Ross was an
enterprising man. He imported pure
bred stock from Vermont, when I
bought this property it consisted of
.000 acres and had 2,800 sheen on It.
At that time I had 3,000 acres of land
en Butter Creek and 10,000 fctock
sheep. In shearing so early I get
my shearing done for 7c per fleece,
when I would have to pay 10 or 12
cents later in the season when shear
ers wero In demand. Then, too, in
shearing early the fleeces do not get
much dirt in them. The quality and
cleanness of the fleece enable me to
get top prices for them. I lell each
year to the same firm In Boston und
they have a regular customer for my
vool. My clip last year wns 200.000
pounds, but it will be more this year.
There is a shrinkage of about CS per
cent in my wooi. Some wools shrink
ns much ns 80 per cent. We Jo not
depend on buyers coming here to pur
chase our sheep. We establish cen
tral markets or sale depots !n Wyom
ing. Idaho and Montana. We ship
1.200 or 1.500 burks to each sal de-
nut and the buyers from the surround

That the government Is
Putting .In the Echo Sy6tem of Irrl
gation.
The fact that the government's op
erations In tho Irrigation line In this
county have been niircly provisional
and experimental Is a feature that has
been often cmnhasized bv the I'-ast
Oreconlan. nnd thnt view and fact
are now confirmed by John T. Whist
ler, the government expert who hns
had charge of Ihc surveys on the lint
ter Creek reservation.
Further than stating the bare fact
that what has been done so far if in
the nature purely of Investigation,
Mr. Whistler refuses to express him
self ns to tho nature and results of
what has already been done. hen
questioned ho says simply that he Is
not here to express opinions, hnvlng
no authority to do so. He is an exec
utive officer merely and will make
his report to tho government more
as such than as an adviser.
Work May Be Delayed.
What action the government may
or may not take he hns not tho
slightest idea. His report will be
made, referred and then prrhnps a
year will elapse before any action
will be ordered based upon It. Quito
likely from two to four years will
elapse before anything will be done
In the event the government con
cludes to do anything nt nil, which
Mr. Whistler states frankly he has
no means of knowing whether ft will
or not
He definitely and positively re
fuses to commit himself about the
feasibility or non-fenslbillty of any
of the projects mentioned for the
reclamation of arid and semi-arid
land in the Butter Creek-Echo neigh-
lorhood. In the meantime those who
have preconceived opinions are nt lib
erty to express them or keep them to
themselves, about either the govern
mnt's Intentions or those of private
promoters.
As an agent of the government and
not a promoter, or contra-wise, a dis
courager, he refuses to commit him
self about the Butter Creek project
just as he expects to refuse to com
mit himself about the feasibility of
any of the very numerous points of
Irrigation vantage which the govern
ment Is investigating.
Meanness of Boomers.
About only one thing does Mr.
Whistler express himself and that is
the Injustice, the utter contemptible
meanness of irresponsible promoters
and boomsters and sensational papers
spreading broadcast reports that are
to the effect that the government will
beyond question nut In extensive ir
rigation reservoirs and ditches thus
without authority lending the govern
ment's supposed indorsement to pro
jects that are no nearer crystallzation
than are Indicated above.
Again and again he reminds those
who converse with him that from two
to four years must necessarily elapse
before the government actually builds
any reservoirs and attempts to water
any land. Therefore he is emphatic
in his denunciation of attempts to
build any booms on foundations that
nre not yet builtled and which even
lie cannot tell ever will be builded.
Today Mr. Whistler is exploring the
headwaters of Birch Creek nnd M
Kay to determine or at least nartlv
determine the feasibility of busline
reservoirs In thoso neighborhoods for
flood waters. This Is only a part of
the general scheme of investigation
ordered by the government nnd 'n no
wny intimates or Implies abandon
ment of tho Butter Creek projocts.
The convention will be held from tne
uii, n Mm ?Jtli nf Jimp, inclusive.
nnd it Is expected that It will be one I
eV ihn m UlYlrtM )t OVflllls In tllO lllS
lory of the church In the Northwest.
Among the notables of the church
who will be present will be Elder G.
A. Dannlels. a famous foreign mis
sionary. There are three organized
churches of this faith in Umatilla
county. It Is not nenrly so strong
here as In many other localities In
this conferenco ot the three states,
but this place Is chosen for the con
vention on account of Its unrivaled
location and liberality. The Commer
cial Association has appropriated $100
toward defraying the expenses of lo
cating the coming camp hero.
English Not Sensitive.
An Englishman gives his Impres
sions of Boston in the New York In
dependent ,nnd suggests thnt Boston-
inns need never hesitate to display
revolutionary relics to their English
friends from any fear lest those re
minders of national defeats may
awaken pnlnful feelings. He says bis
countrymen are hardened to that sort
of thing for they cannot even cross
the English channel without remem
bering that Calais was a British pos
session for centuries.
