ranch at Lower Brldgo, Adams
said.
"They would be easy Indeed to
kill at this Benson," said Adams,
"but thoro would bo no'sport In It
aside from tho fact of tho closed
season. It would bo too much like
shooting sheep."
The district gamo wardon consld
ors that thoro Js less gamo law vlo

BRIGHT FUTURE
FOR LIVESTOCK
NOW PREDICTED
INCREASING STRENGTH
SEEN BY BUYER
SHORTAGE DEVELOPS
Heavy Hales Have Cut Down Breed
ing Htock Below Normal Central
Oregon ' Is a Xatnral Feeding
Ground, Kays Fen H. White.
Based on the workings of the lair
of supply and demand; the cattle and
Bhccp Industry will show Increasing
strength during the coming year. And
In all probability for several years
to come, Is the prediction of Fen S.
Walte, Portland livestock dealer,
formerly of the Central Oregon bank,
who has been making a brief busi
ness trip through this section. Ranch
ers, under the stress of declining
values of the past year, and con
fronted with the necessity ot rais
ing money for tho satisfaction of
obligations incurred lnt times when
money was easier, have sold heavily.
not only disposing of their matured
market stock, but also selling off
much young stuff and oven breeding
stock, Walte stated. ,
Now, with prices showing an up-,,
ward tendency, the Industry must be
again built up, and this caaaot be
done In a season, he pointed out.
The number ot beet cattlo I n Central
Oregon is far below narraAi, and
sales ot lambs during the tall and
winter "nave been markedly heavy,
many growers marketing wlthont re
gard to sex. In contrast to the cus
tom of the careful sheepman In' nor
mal times of saving the ewes.
Not all ot these of course havo
reached the market, many of the
ewe Iambs finding thotr way into
the flocks ot larger grower who
sensed the ultimate trend of the In
dustry and had sufficient capital to
make it unnecessary for them to sac
rifice chances for future Increase.
These conditions are general,
Walte has noted, hot he considers
that In Central Oregon the livestock
Industry will rapidly build up. Cen
tral Oregon's advantages as a natur
al feeding ground, both because ot
the quality and quantity of hay pro
duced, and because ot the rapid, easy
run to the Portlandjfearket, make it
especially desirable to bring In feed
ers until the) natural Increase from
the flocks -and herds 'of resident
ranchers take'eare of the hay sur
plus. MMAVtl MAI VI V W
TRACT IS LOST

a tract ot land at Benbam Falls for
