Wayaiaa Notes by One who Attend
ed the Montauu meeting.
Editor Gazette :
On Sunday, the 12th day of January,
the debates from Oregon selected to
KO td the National Woolg rowers' Con
vention at Helena, Montana, met at
Pendleton, and with streaming banners
attached to a special Poilman, a special
ageut and porter to accompany them,
with rousinir cheers and waviug of hand
kerchiefs from the ladies of Pendleton,
sUrted on their two days journey and
after a pleasant and uneventful trip over
the O. R. & N. road to Spokane and
from there ov ir the Great Northern, the
bunch arrived without the lies of one,
owing to the great care exercised by the
agent sent In charge. If toe two com
peting roads had an object in view they
certainly deserve to obtain it (if consis
tent) tor the royfcl way they treated this
delegation in p oviding for its welfare
and comfort.
On arriving at Helena we helped to
enlarge one of the largest gatherings of
sheep nren it has ever been my good for
tune to mix jup with.
Dr. Wilson, of Wyoming, (the Doc.
we all know) acted as president and
opened up with a good speech. He in
troduced some a arming statistics on
woof and mutton products, the value of
the same, and also the increased con
sumption and the increa'e n population
for the last 40 years, a part of which I
will endeavor to give in this letter.
Other speeches followed. One by
Thomas J. Walsh, and one by Governor
Brooks of Wyoming, which for oratory
and good language would be very hard
to beat. It went to show how antagonist
mc the people of those states are to the
present policy uf the forest reserve.
This, however, is only to be expee'ed as
the states of Montana and Wyoming are
only now passing through the same per
iod that the eastern part nf Oifgon and
Washington passed through 25 years
ago, wiien the farmer and small stock
rancher invaded this country and broke
up to a certain extent the reign of many
of the nomadic bands of cattle and sheep
'hat used to roam at large, and that
even'ually must come, in a measure, to
the rest of the Western states.
The majority of stockmen of Oregon
are not ouposed to the creation of forest
reserves for the protection of timber for
future posterity, but it is the rulings
laid down in regard to the grazing of
thes( forests and . managed, or rather
mismanaged, by preconceived notions
of underpaid men who are partial to one
man's interests and prejudiced againgt
another that will eventual y, if allowed
to continue, cripple and destroy indus
trie that have tak -n a li'etime of hard
work and strict a tentiou to business to
build up, which is just as essential to
future posterity as the pruteition of
trees for timber.
The first dav of the meeting was de
voted to speech making and the reading
of papers, and Wednesday afternoon tin
tU legates visited the Mid-Winter Sheep
Show, which, by the way, exhibited
some excellent typps of sheep, mostly
of the coarse or mutton breeds ; and on
Thursday the real business began.
The delegates f'om Oregon selected a
committee to draft a set of resolutions
to be handed in tolhe national commit
tee on resolution - and succeeded in get
ting quite a few embodied in the nation
al resolutions. But some were discard
ed on account of being too local a nature.
Dan P. Smvthe, of Pendleton, was se
lected as one on the nati onal committee
C. O. Huelat
on resolutions and did good work to
Oregon, and if the convention couir have
prevailed upon Dr. Wilson to accept the
nomination for president, our delegation
would have landed the vice-president's
place hands down.
$10,0)0 was than raised by individual
subscription for the purpose of reore
sen Ing the livestock interests at Wash
Ington. In this the delegation from
Oregon came to the front to the amount
of about f 900.
After a short meeting of tbe executive
committee, on which one of the dele
gates from Morrow county was appoint
ed, to bond the treasurer and attend to
a few other matters, the convention ad
journed to meet again at Pocatella, Ida'
ho, next year.
Helena is a beautiful city, built as it
i at the foot of Mt. S. Helens, and
commands a grand panoramic view of
the Kocky Mountains with their spires
and domes, and if one could forget for a
moment that be was io the new world,
it would not take a very great stretch of
the imaginxtion for him to think thathe
was ' eholding a city in Europe of an
cient castles. But, however, about the
only oa ties the average American builds
is usually in the air. We have no time
for others.
Dr. Wilson in his speech said that
there had not been auy practical increase
in sheep for the past 40 years, yet the
inoreased consumption of mutton for
tbe past 16 years has been over 400 per
cent. And today, according to govern
ment statistics, there a-e 36 per cent of
all the sheep flocks of the United States
needed for mutton. If the Increase
keeps up we shall not have mutton
enough in the whole country in ten
yeare to supply the demand. The in
crease in sheep the pant 40 years has
been 29 8 per cent; the inc esse in pop
ulation, 176 4 per cent, and the increase
n tbe consumption of mutton, 400 per
cent. Be further stated that the value
of the entire wool clip b'th pulled and
fleece in the. United Stales for the year
1907 was 37S -03.165, and the value of
mutton for the same period was 8(!4,
165,795, making a grand total of $142.-
42Sk).
So. if we keep on plowing up our land
for wheat, increasing our popn.ation,
incieasiug our demand for mutton, in
creasing our forest reserves, and cutting
down the number of sfTeep every year
at the sme rate we have b en, the
wo'ld wil wake up some day iu the not
far distant future to the fact ttiat it has
plenty of bread, plenty of timber, and
i ther .r aterial from mother eafth for
buildiug purposes, but is short, terribly
short, of that most .essential of all fab
ics, wool. Then it will be that no one
but the very rich will he able to wear
woolen clothes. Tbe man of moderate
means may perhaps be able to wear cot
ton and shoddy clothes cast off" from our
more fortunate brother, but pity the
poor devil that has to go back to sack
cloth or fig leaves no matter how well he
m v he fed.
So I say to the sheep ra:ser, hold on
t your s-heep, hold on to your sheep
'ange, make the best ter ms possible with
Uucle Sam tor his range, for it will not
he very long in place or putting a boun
ty on sheep scalps, and also sheepmen's
scalps, he will be offering a premium to
any man owning an acre of laud if be
will raise a sheep on it.
After laying over at Great Fall and
Spokane long enough to take in those
cities, the delegates arrived in Pendle
ton. There with many handshakes and
promises to meet again next year at
Pocatella, we parted, each one for Lis
respective district. x
