I'nuUUIa Men Will Meet Arll 21.
In a 'phone message to Dan P.
Hmythe, secretary of the Woolgrow
ers' association, J. M. Hchmltz, forest
ranker, aaJd this morning that the en
tire Wenaha reserve la to be reallot
ted at the meeting to be held In Walla
Walla, April 27. He was questioned
closely upon the subject by Mr.
Smyth, as the Jocal sheepmen were
In doubt as to the real nature of the
coming meeting. His answer set all
doubts at rest, as he declared the en
tire reserve would be redivided.
Stockmen wishing- to secure range
may either make new applications, or
use those presented when the original
allotment was made.
Won Ity Hard light.
The dews that there will be a com
plete redlvislon is received with Joy by
the sheepmen of this county. Foi
weeks the officers of the association
have worked earnestly to secure at re
dlvlHlon. Through Secretary Sraythe
both Senator Fulton and Oearln have
been enlisted In Xhe fight, and it is
doubtless through their Influence at
Washington that the reallotment was
ordered. Also, the influence of Gar
ernor Chamberlain wits brought to
bear In the matter.
Now that a redlvlslun Is to be made
the Oregon men are preparing to see
that thair rights anc respected and
are confident that a more Just division
will be made this time.
Why They Contplnhied.
Briefly stated the onmplulnt of the
Oregon sheepmen Is that they were
not given their share of the reserve
when It was divided. Though over
half the reserve and the most desira
ble part is in Oregon, only 20,74
Oregon sheep were admitted, whereas
174,260 Washington sheep were al
lowed. Of the latter number 37,23
were allowed on the Oregon part of
he reserve, itlhus placing 02,000 more
Washington sheep In Oregon than
there were Oregon sheep for the en
tire reserve. Not a single Oregon
sheepman was allotted land in Wash
ington. By dv unjust division 33.726
Oregon sheep whlrh bad jirevlously
ranged In the reserve were denied
summer pastare. much to tke Injury
of the pwners. Few several years past
Charies Cunningham had been rang
ing 71)00 head of sheep on the reserve.
This j ear Mr. Buret ss and associates,
who now own the Cauningham prop
erty, were allowed range for bnt 1680
head.
As the matter of snmmer range Is
a vital one to sheepmen, the Oregon
men were hard hit by the unjust al
lotment, and It Is but natural they
should rife In their wrath and demand
Justice. However, for a time It
seemed doubtful If they would get It,
and had they not worked hard and
persistently, giving arguments that
could not be answered. It Is probable
the allotment would have stood as It
was originally made.
Will Meet April 81.
On April 21 the Umatilla county
sheepmen will meet here for the pur
pose of discussing subjects relating to
the Wenaha reserve. This meeting
was decided upon at an informal
meeting held this morning In Secre
tary Fmythe's office. President Perry
Gould wos not present, but was com
municated with by 'phone. It is de
sired that all sheepmen of the county
be present at the coming meeting,
whether they be Interested In the re
serve or not.
Praise" for Sinytlic.
This morning J. N. Burgess, man
ager of the Cunnliighnm Sheep &
Land company, was In tho city and
expressed satisfaction over the out
come of the fight for a redlvislon of
the reserve.

our rights, and the work was all done
by Smythe. He has written dozens
of letters and worked earnestly to se
cure a reallotment. He Is entitled to
great credit for what has been accom
plished."
Mr. Burgess Is confident that the re
allotment means that the Oregon men
will be given more range, or else the
work would not be done over again.
His company will apply for range for
the number of sheep that were run
on the reserve lent year.

Chicago, April S. The municipal
