Bright Future Seen. Painting a rosy picture of the fu ture which awaits Central and East ern Oregon it the 1,000,000 acres included In the survey of Irrigable lands can bo brought under water, Congressman N. J. Stnnott spoke here this morning before the members of the Oregon Cattlo and. Horso Raisers' association. Mr. Slnnott predicted a population of three million for that part of tho state east of tho Cascades, whenever this reclamation of arid lands is effected. Sketching the history of he r. im propriation bill killed by tho fili buster in tho last Congress, the speaker declared that he would con tinue tho fight for a new reclama tion measure when the next Congress Is held. This will bo based on the Idea of furnishlng.farniB for returned soldiers and sailors, he declared. Ho admitted, "however, that tho fight to secure adequato funds will bo a hard one. , Upton'H Work IYnlscd.- In introducing his subject of "Publlo Lands' Mr. Slnnott called tho attention of his hearers to the fact that tho first recorded Instance of range difficulties was between two cattlemen, Lot and Abraham. "The desire for land has been ono of tho greatest actors In making world history," ho asserted, provlhs his 'statement by referring to tho wars of early days and of modern times which have been tho result of this desire. "If tho Germans had pos sessed undeveloped country so rich and cxtenslvo as Is Oregon, tho great world conflict which has Just been fought would never have been," he stated. While mentioning the subject of irrigation, 'Mr. Slnnott paid a special compliment to Jay H. Upton of Prlne villo, who, he said, was the first man to agitate publicly tho opening up of farm lands for men discharged from tho U, S. service. Immediately after Mr. Slnnott was introduced Jo tho audlenco by Presi dent Wjlllam Pollman, tho audience stood for a moment in response to a motion 'from William Hanley, who asked (hat, this action bo taken in honoring, tho Oregon congressman. Describes Disease. Necessity for conservation of( live stock through elimination, or at least checking, of disease was devel oped by J6r, W. H. Lytlo, state vetor inafluu, (he first speaker on tho morning's program. Dr. Lytlo stat ed that- the season Just opening sfaouldbp ono in which unusually large returns should bo realized from the horse uud cattle Industry. The Pacific northwest states are sjRguiyl,'lpa,.f1rom "heavea" (n hgf-wf fWi$U)ercu,plf In oattle, but lMM-vyilatwes in vthe arid section, have MiMd4 by ''walking dl4asej" ho declared. "Durjng tho summer," ho snld, "a, report was had from cor tain French veterinarians who brought forth tho theory that tho bot was responsible for tho disease known ns infectious nnnomln. Such jraportn ns havo been inndo In Oregon do not tond to link tho, latter malady with tho 'walking disease' of Enstorn Oregon, but ns tho dioonso varies so much in different localities It was though that possibly tho two nil ments might bo differentiated types." Tho carbon bisulphide treatment, ho said, la tho most successful. lllncklcg Chief Enemy. Dr. Lytlo stated thnt glanders In probably tho most common dtfienso among range horses. For this dis ease, which is highly Infectious, there Is no euro. Tho speaker ndvlsed purchasers of horses from districts where glanders hns been found to demand nn ophthalmic mnlloln test before buying. Chief among rnngo disorders of cnttlo, he mentioned blackleg, lumpy Jaw, Infectious abortion, hemorrhagic septicemia, and amoebic dysentery. Blackleg, appearing twice yearly, ho gavo first placo in causing losses to cattlemen, stating that an" abund ance of rich feed, with llttlo exer cise, apparently favors tho develop ment of the. disease. "Vaccination is the ono effective wny to protect against blackleg," ho said, "and owners who neglect it nitty well be looked on as slackers." Rnngo Capacity Greater. "Co-operation" was tho subject de veloped by E. X, Knvanagh, assist ant district forester from tho Port land office, who told how tho uu- tional forest rnngo, under the stim ulus of war demand for beef, had beon made to support 40 por cent, moro cattlo than had previously been allowed uso of tho rnngo. "This is largely duo to co-oporation between tho ranchers and the forest service," ho assorted, "and while we nfe Just n llttlo worried as to whether or not tho national rnngo can bo kept up to this capacity, with proper assist nnco from tho stockmen we may be ablo to succeed In this endeavor." Mr. Knvanagh gave as an example of tho results of scientific range management tho work dono on a certain range on tho Mlnam forest in Eastern Oregon, whero a 60 per cent. Increase In tho number of cattlo which could bo grazed was ef fected. Reef Nation's Bulwark. That tho livestock raisers of tho United States hold within their grasp the solution for tho'polltlcal and In dustrial probloms of tho world was tho statement of F. R. Hedrlck, of thp Kansas City stockyards, in his address this morning on "Tho Future of the Livestock Industry." Mr. Hed rlck asserted that Europe Is en gulfed In chaos and anarchy because Its pcoplo are hunger mad. "A hun gry man Is a dangerous man, and tho well fed Individual is generally kindly," ho said. "Tho Hvest6ck In dustry, with tho ability to produco meat animals required to feed" our population, is today tho 'greatest bulwark of safety which wo havo against anarchy and the chaos which stares Europo In tho faco. Tho in fluence of tho livestock industry will be measured largely by our ability to produco meat animals In propor tion to iho Increase of our population land tho Increased demand for meat as an Item of food. Workers Aro Mont Enter. "The American worker has learned In this war period a period in which 'Increased wages enabled him to buy moro meat than ho over con sumed before that meat is the best ration a fighting or a working man can havo. For that reason, wo must produco more meat, and consequently moro meat animals than wo havo In the past," Turning to tho subject of live stock legislation, Mr. Hedrlck point ed out that tho industry is almost without representation in America's law making bodies. "Wo havo too many lawyers, editors and politicians in Congress, and not enough live stock men," ho maintained. Better transportation facilities would prove an Important factor in eliminating shrinkage and consequently Increas ing efficiency of production, ho dem onstrated. 'There is a great movement on foot at this tlmo to stabilize market conditions, and through them, pro fits, by eliminating fluctuations and to establish a five day market," the speaker said. "Tills undertaking has been initiated in sincerety and In gonulno good faith on tho part of tho packers and mid-western pro ducers, and, If It works, the entire livestock industry evorywhero will bo benefitted." HullromN Discussed. Discussing the "Work of the Amorlcan Livestock Association," T. W. Tomllson, secretary pt that or ganization, spoko in fayor 'of the Kondrick hill, which bus ns Its ob ject tho stimulation of production, sale and distribution of livestock and livestock products. From tho topic of government control of the packing Industry he turned to the railroad -question, pointing tout that fjie national association hoq already gono on rocord nn favoring tho re turn of tho railroads to their original owners. Poor service which has boon complained of, he snld, in undoubt edly tho result of abnormally heavy war transportation, hut ho favored private management ns supplying tho element ot Individual lultlnttvo now lacking. Mr. Tomllson criticised tho advance In grazing fees on tho national for est, assorting that ho was against commercialization at tho forest, thnt former charges wore sufficient for maintenance, nnd thnt tho boosting ot government charges also means tho advancing ot grazing: fees on pri vately owned binds. With nearly 400 delegates from till parts of tho stnte, nnd visitors from points throughout tho northwest nnd middle western suites In attendance, tho sixth nniiUnl pension ot tlib Ore gon Cattlo ami Horso Ionisers' nssa elation opened horu Tuesday morning.

"This Is for their own good ns well ns for tho beat Interests ot tho nation nnd tho entlro world as well. In tho reconstruction per iod thero must ho no slackers, nnd wo must recognize that food produc tion will bo ono of tho greatest fac- ltors In solving tho probloms ot world unrest which havo developed In the last few mdnths." Bond Support Asked. Mr. Pollman concluded his address with n plea for tho Victory loan, urg ing nil stockmen In tho state to put tho finishing touches to tho war by buying Victory bonds to tho limit ot their resources.

The stockmen, I through food production, will play no small pari In this, ho maintained, "Tho last year has been an event ful ono In tho cuttle Industry," he continued, "for due to war demand prices haVo increased and production -lias been great l? stimulated. .
