Though the situation i not regard, ed as serious in Umatilla county at this time the continued snow and cold has been working hardship on cattlemen and sheepmen. The chief trouble arises from excessive expense of feeding high priced hay and grain, but there are also reports of actual losses of sheep and cattle There is an unofficial report from Condon that a sheepman in that sec tion lost 700 head of ewes. Both sheep and cattle are known to be in peril around Spray and around Lone Rock, west of Heppner. ST. ANDREWS CATTLE DYING St Andrew's Mission, on the Uma tilla reservation, haa lost five head of cattle, and it la feared there will be further losses oat of ltO head owned by the mission. The supply of feed at the mission is almost exhausted and the cattle are getting weak. The feed consists of straw and alfalfa. Major Swartx lander has invited the mission peo ple to drive their cattle to the In dian agency where there la a supply of feed. However, this will not be done as It would be too hard upon the cattle. The snow Is three feel deep at St. Andrews and it was still nowing at 11 o'clock Mils morning. The plan Is to feed the cattle as long I as possible and rely upon hauling j feed to them when the storm breaks (Continued on Pace Eight ) ..re nrtllaWT for those years but ttv Walla Walla records show thai dur ing Jaiiuar 1.1SC. the snowfall was !6.J Inches and In February.
