By a petition drafted this forenoon
by the executive committee of the
Oregon Woolgrowers' association, the
forestry bureau is asked to forego
milking any cut in the number of
sheep 0 be allowed upon Oregon re
serves nl summer ana some good
reasons are set forth why the request
should be granted.
In brief the sheepmen hold that
owing to the present state of the
sheep market it would be Injurious to
the woolgrowers to have to sell off
any of their bands this spring and
they ask the government to omit the
cut unless the market Improves It
has been the intention of the forestry
people to make a cut of from 10 to
30 per cent In the number of sheep
that were allowed on the ranges Inst
summer. If this stand Is adhered to
approximately 104),'000 sheep will 'be
forced onto the market for the rea
son tnai there will be no summer
range for them.
According to the petition of the
executive committee which Is most
courteously w-orded, the reserve ran
ges sufficed for all of the sheep last
summer and they will again If the
forestry hureau will bat allow the
sheep to go -upon them.
The executive committee has been
in session today in the office of Dan
P. Smrfhe, secretary of the state
sheep commission and of the state
woolgrowers association. Aside from
the above proposition It has also been
considering other subjects. Among
them Is the question of foot rot and
action wns taken toward having the
sheep commission take up the fight
against that disease.
Tlie Advisory Hoard.
Another sheep meeting of Import
ance on here today Is the conference
between Henry Ireland, supervisor of
the eastern division of the Blue
mountain reserve, and the members
of the sheepmen's advlstory board for
that division. The consultation has
been on since morning. Mr. Ireland
having arrived last night, and various
problems connected with the adminis
tration of the reserve have been gone
over. One of the topics for consid
eration has been that of barring from
the reserve some stockmen who are
said to have no rights thereon.
All members of the advlstory board
are here and the personnel of that
