W. W. "Bill" Brown, probably the best known stockman in Central Oregon, although entering upon his 64th year, of which 31 years he has been king of Central Oregon stock men. Is not done with his plan of expansion. The Brown empire, cov ering In all about 12 or 13 sections of land in rfeschutes. Crook and Harney counties, has been increased in the last two months by 1200 acres. This land annexed lies In Crook county about 12 miles northwest of his Horseshoe Bar ranch near Har- din, on the Twelve Mile Creek. Mr. Brown has broken up about 600 acres of this land which be will sow this week to alfalfa and wilt be irrigated by the waters of Twelve Mile Creek It Is Mr. Brown's Intention to In crease the amqunt of his feed for his 10,000 head of sheep and If necessary for his 5000 head of horses. Mr. Brown has had several pet ranches during his career as a stockman rancher In Central Oregon, and this recent venture will probably be his latest pet. Winter Wan Severe. Not in the 30 years that Mr. Brown has been settled in Central Oregon has he suffered the losses to his stock . that were . experienced last year. Caught without sufficient feed and not anticipating such a prolonged period of snow as was experienced last winter, Mr. Brown says that he lost about 10 per cent of his sheep and heavily in horses. He also states that the wool crop will not be as heavy as last year. However, with these reverses, Mr. Brown is looking forward to an ex ceptional year in 1917. He views the market for horses this year more brightly than last year. The demand for marketable horseflesh for army purposes will be, keener than last year and he expects the prices to range between $80 and $100 per head. According to men In his em ploy, Mr. Brown will have about 700 head of horses that will pass in spection this year. Rumors have been current at the Fife ranch of Mr. Brown that he may retire definitely from the stockrais ing spd farming industry. Although in good health, Mr. Brown has not been as active in his work as in the pas!. It is stated that a deal was under way last fall by whiah he was to have disposed of his entire hold ings in Central Oregon.
