OREGON Heppner Gazette i per year Washington, D C. Feb. 24 Western state will be compelled to face a range leasing policy in due cource of time, if the present trend of events in regard to public domain continues. No sucb a lav will get through tbe present con Kress, as the leaders of the two houses are not ready to precipitate discussion, but it is apparent to observing men that the time is not distant when such will be the case, and leading stockmen are already preparing tor the issue. Those given to careful research are endeavor ing to get facts for presentation. Texas, in her career of liberal and independent treatment of public lands is a shining example for the range leasers. Wyom ing's experiences are also being ex ploited. The customs of the entire pountry based upon the principles of getting public land into tbe private ownership of the individual, are being offered on the side of those opposed to tbe leasing system. Since the public land commission re ported in f yor of leasing that part of the public domain adapted to range purposes, the policy is regarded as bav ng administration backing. President Roosevelt's reference to the subject in his message was the last endorsement, which was expected to force tbe ques tion this congress. As the first session drawa toward its clofe there seems no room for range-leasing before the sum mer adjournment. The next session will be short, and unless tbe administra tion presses urgently for consideration of toil measure, or pro-leasing interests perform the same service, it is hardly probable that the short term will create the law that is bound to have broad in fluence upon the entire west. In whatever is done, there are sure to be provisions that will facilitate tbe homesteader. Some advocates of leas ing believe that the homestead entry man should have tbe right to enter upon land during the term of even an annual lease, after proving his bona fide home purpose. Others are inclined to think that settlement of the country will be amply safeguarded by providing that the homestead entryman shall be given access to tbe land only after expiration of a range lease. Champions of the small stockman will also insist that an entrrman taking range land, shall be nsured a good range acreage about his homestead, which others cannot lease. The range homestead has been suggest ed as a law that would encourage the cattle industry at least, if not the sheep, and recognize the semiarid condition of the couotry. This suggestion is to let a man take a large rang acreage as a ingle homestead, the limit being such probable yield of forage as the average agricultural homestead yitlds. All of the solutions proposed could not be enumerated in a limited space, but enoutrb have been advanced to prove that when the question must nail? be decided, there will be a wide yereitv of courses offered. Western states should begin a careful study of le situation. They will be most vitally fleeted and unless their rights as states and industrial commonwealths are ably hampioned in the formative hour of awmaking, theories that are utterly m practicable may be forced upon them. There hue been such a stir throughout the east in regard to the public domain, that radical action might be expected if the true status of the west is not made the subject of constant education. Many eastern people regard the acquisi tion of more than 160 acres of public land by one person or company as "land grabbing." They do not realize the necessities of a range country. When informed on the timber acreage required by a large lumber concern before erect ing a mill, they are inclined to style the business precaution a public ontrage. To meet such views as these and have whatever legislation is enacted kept upon a plane permitting the most rapid j and permaoent western development, many western people are alrea.lv antici pating the discussion bv gtbei:ng data.

Prineville, Ore., Feb. 21. Central Oregon's range wars, which have caused the loss of thousands of dollars' worth of live stock during the past few years, are a thing of the past. In view of the interior department's recent ratings re lative to tbe grazing of stock in the forest reserves and the payment of a nominal fee by the stockmen to tbe gov ernment for the range privileges and protection daring tbe grazing season, it is not believed that there will be any more clashes on the public domain brought about, as in the past, by the sheep and cattlemen in their struggle for supremacy in tbe grazing districts. Both the latter interests express no small degree of satisfaction concerning the new rulings of the forestry depart ment, and this year's regulations, which are a radical departure from those in vogue for years pant, have beea receiyed with favor. Stockmen in this section gene-ally look upon the payment of a fee to the government ss the solution of a harass ing problem, which has assumed each year, as tbe ranges become more con gested, a more disagreeable aspect, al though it was not until after tbe appli cations for graz ng allotments bad been made and filed last month, and Forest Supervisor S. C. Bartrum had explained in detail the new methods to be em playei by the government that local stock men came into a lull appreciation of the advantages to be gained through the new rulings. Up to that time a de cided stand had teen taken against the proposition to charge for the grazing privilege. Now there is a reversal of opinion io that respect and Grant county, along with Crook county, has expressed, through its stock associa tions, an indorsement of the govern ment's new policy. Belief is commonly voiced that the forestry officials them selves have practically settled the range difficulties, so far as Central Oregon i9 concerned. SHEEP IN THE EXITED STATES. Number Average, Price and Total Value of Sheep In tbe Country. The Bureau of Statistics of tbe Un ited States Department of Agriculture has completed its estimate of the number and value of sheep in tbe United States on January 1. 1906, by separate states. The totals are shown in the table pub lished herewith. Tbe figures in relation to sheep as reported in the table repre sent, as nearly as are obtainable without an enumeration, tbe department claims, the actual numbers on farms and ranges on January 1, and are not strictly com. parable with similar data published heretotore, the present figures being tbe result of a very careful investigation by correspondents and fields sgnts in every state without exclusive reference to the relation such figures should bear to those of previous years: No. Av. price Tlltslonarles In Danger. ollr of Final tt-roiiiil In th "unty Court of Morrow count of Onvoti In t'e tiiHtter of the estat of Margaret Pun-I en", h'c ;iStl, I Nntno ik herc'iy given tha the nmti'rHunNi i tntiiMiiifctrntor h:i til l his liniil iicooiiiit in liu' i l'-y the amexatioi of a portion of Shoshone county, Id U to Ne. 1'erce oounty, the latter owes the (jriner $'.', i'kU, which the higher c-virts have : i ,1 i 11.1..-.
