INTERESTING
MEETING
Matters of Interest . Dis
cussed by Wool-growers.
Executive Committee an New
Officer Appointed Wool
Kalea und Salt Question
Talked.
The meeting of the Heppner
Woolgrowers' Association at the
court houso in this city last Satur.
day afternoon was important and
interesting.
The meeting was called to order
by President Geo. Perry.
Secretary's. W. Spencer read
the minutes of previous meetings.
Business started off by President
Perry stating tlrat the wool buyers
had written to Phili Cohn of the
Ilcppuer warehouse asking for
three days wool sales instead of
two, as heretofore.
The president stated that the
local organization bad recommend
ed two davs, the date? being fixed
for the oth and 25tb of June.
mt a. .
ine matter was lett as it now
stands and will be taken up later
a'ter conferring with the buyers
and the executive committee of the
state association.
The matter of does and assess
ments was the occasion of much
discussion. The matter was brought
to decided action by a motion by
R. F. Hynd which was carried and
was to the effect that do member
would be considered in good stand
ing unless all arrears were paid in
advance for the year.
This settled a lot of wrangling.
The numbers got busy sight away
with check books and purses and
the secretary 'a desk soon looked
like a Xew York bank on a busy
day.
I). O. Justus stated thatifagree
able he would present a list of sev
en names to be voted upon to con
stitute the executive committee of
the local association.
The names read were:
Wm. Barratt, S. W. Spencer, R.
F. Iljnd, Geo. Perry, John Kil
kenny, Emmett Cochran, Geo. Our
rin. The names as read were ac
cepted without change and were
elected by acclamation.
Win. Barratt in a short speech
took up the question of the pur
chase of salt and also freight rates.
lie said that the sheepmen of
Idaho owned 51 per cent of the
stock in a salt mine in Utah. That
effort was being made to induce
sheepowners in other places to take
the balance of the stock in order to
get salt at actual cost of mining
and cost of transportation. In or
der to do this it was necessary for
the growers here to raise $500, and
that a part of this sum had already
been subscribed.
Mr. Barratt read a letter that
had been prepared which would be
sent to the railroad officials asking
not only for a reduction in rate on
salt, but also for a uniform rate on
salt as low for the branch lines as
on the main lines to Umatilla.
As the matter now stands after
reaching Umatilla, the rate on salt
almost doubles when shipped to
nearby points on any of the branch
lines.
The object was to try aud break
this prohibitive rate and unjust
discrimination.
Ii. F. Hynd spoke of the advan
tages that had already been gained
and the advantages to be gained
by organizhtion.
lie pointed as' an illustration
the dipping law and said that this
alone was worth more to each wool-
grower than all the money that had
been paid oat by the local organization.
The question of a sheep trail be
tween the Heppner and Blue Moun
tain National forests was intro
duced by E. F. Smith.
Mr. Smith stated that the fact
that sheepmen were compelled to
drive around about 20 miles in or
der to cross a stretch of conntry
only six miles in width was both
expensive and annoying. The
trouble is caused by private par
ties owning the laud refusing to
let the sheepmen drive over their
claims.
This being a matter of consider
able interest to all sheep owners
from this county who raDge in the
Blue Mountain Is ational forest, the
matter was ijiven considerable attention.
A committee consisting of F. F.
Smith, EJw. Xeil and Frank El
der, was appointed to confer with
the individual laud owners and tiy
and eliminate the objectionable
features.
By motion it was ordered that
the secretary be allowed $50 per
year for his services.
After adjournment there was a
meeting of the executive commit
tee and the following officers were
elected;
President, George Cnrrin; Vice
president. V. B. Barratt; Secretary
treasurer, S. W. Spencer.
The following interesting letter
was read by the secretary, from
John Buseick, of Hamilton:
Wool Growers of Heppner :
It is impossible for me to attend
the meeting at Heppner on the 15tb.
But I U!1 want to remain a member.
I am in' favor of poisoning coyotes, I
have lost 42 sheep by the coyotes this
winter. I have found 11 dead coyotes
that I poisoned, and am certain that I
have killed that many more.
My way of putting out poison is to
kill a worthless Jiorse and put strychnine
in the heart berore the blood stops run
ning, and put small b:ts of beef or mut
ton about two inches square that have
been poisoned, around tbe carcass of
the horse. Tbe coyotes will swallow
the small pieces and not carry them
off to bury them. I put the pieces of
neat out just before dark so that the
mappies will not carry them off and
drop tbem where the dogs wi.l get them.
W e ought to do bII in our power to
set the rates reduced on salt. I nsed
three tons i 8 months alone.
And we ought to have two days of
wool sales. The dav for ns over here
would be beet to come ofTJune 29th or
Oth. We could get our wool in by that
