EASTERNERS WOULD LIKE
HIDES OF "THOUSANDS OF
WILD, WORTHLESS PONIES'
The thouaanda of wild ponies
that roam over the dewrt stretch
es of Oregon, may yet be turned
to some commercial end. . A com
pany in Chicago, ITnlted States of
America, which dealt in ftid.'H
and furs, haw heard of these in
numerable ponies and 1h seeking
information regarding the obtain
ing of their hides.
A letter forwarded to the com
mercial association today from the
state chamber of commerce, con
tains the startling information
that there are such herds of ani
mals in the state, utterly worth
less except for their hides. The
Chicagoans would like to know
how they can get a stock of these
animals, how much it would cost
for transportation of the hides
and what prospects there are for
raising ponies for '.lie hides.
Secretary Cranston will answer
the letter and set the benighted
Easterners right, ho said today.
