brought to bear on congress in
opposition to the regulating
bills, takes following forms:

FORMER aHAISER BITS
Local sheep shippers are on the un
easy, seat at present owing to a short
age of cars, which is daily becoming
greater. They have been advised by
the railroad that delays are certain in
obtaining cars for Immediate ship
ments and several trainloads of sheep
about to go to the middle west are
likely to be held up. The situation
will not affect small shippers to coast
markets so materially.
8mthe Brothers, who ship exclu-
isively to Chicago, fear that their next
itrainload, due to leave August 27, will
not be sent forward until September
trainloads of sheep sent from ' the
trainloada of shep sent from the
northwest to the middle west In the
last few weeks that all available cars
are in that section and the railroads
which own the cars are diverting them
to their own roads to relieve short
ages In that section. Thus the north
west is being made the sufferer.
Pasture for the sheep in the couht
Is not causing half so much troublt,
as lack of water, the report la today.
Large bands of sheep have been divid
ed In order to provide water for them
in the few remaining springs in the
mountains and the problem of wr.ter
is a growing and serious one. Feed
will hold out, the stockmen believe
and their only hope'ts that they may
find sufficient water to lust until the
fall rains.
