Within the past week a number of

Also a few days ago a big boarding

turn away the boarders and roomers
because no fuel could be secured.
The extreme shortage In coal has
created such a demand for wood that
the dealers cannot supply It and were
fuel must be had Immediately, such

Wood dealers are working almost

partment In Time to Forestall tho
Issuance of Leases and Fourthly Se
cure a Revision The Umatilla As
sociation Will Meet January 27 to
Discuss This and Other Proposi
tions. That Washington sheepmen were
given land in Oregon to which they
were not entitled, when the Wenaha
reserve was divided several weks ago.
Is claimed by many sheepmen -of
Umatilla county. When the land was
apportloned at that time the baais of
the division was presumed to be the
former use cf the range and the own
ing of adjoining land. Those who had
land bordering on the reserve or In
the vicinity and had previously used,
the range, were placed In class A.
However, the arranging of the
classes was left largely to a commit
tee of 11, of which the majority were
Washington men, and It Is claimed the
division was not made according to its
merits. According to one sheepman,
class A, as arranged, really consisted
of the committeemen and their friends
rather than those who held adjoining,
land, or had been using the range pre viously.
-" - -
So great Is the dissatisfaction over
the manner In which Umatilla county
men were kept out to the advantage
of Washington growers, that it isr
probable a protest will be sent to the
secretary of the Interior. As the
leases will not be issued until March,
there will be opportunity for such to. -be
done between now and that time. .
On January 27 another meeting of "
the Umatilla county sheepralsers as
sociation will be held in this city, and .
it is said the above matter will furn
ish one of the principal items of bus
iness. Whether or not the associa
tion will decide to make a formal pro
test against the manner in which the
reserve was divided remains to be
seen. However, It is certain that such
would be very pleasing to some mem
bers of the association,
