Contentions are That Outside Hheep men Will Untroy Ux-ui Grazing Cuttle Industry Threatened Hays J. If. Htuuley. Itelutlona. which it la understood are not altogether too amicable among the cattle and horsemen, eaat of llend, and sheepmen from various parts of Ijike couiiiy who, it la said. have come north Into Crook county for winter range, are alrained almost to the break a Ik point, according to J. H. Stanley, a well known cattle man, and owner of the Stanley ranch. The appearance of 6,000 head of sheep on the Carey Act lands, known by the cattlemen as "open range," is, according to the cattlemen, prob ably the commencement of unfriend ly relations, and threatens, If the number la Increased and grazing la permanent, to destroy the cattle rais ing Industry ot this immediate lo cality. Thla ia the first year, they auy, that the southern sheepmen have tuken to the northern range to any great extent, and the initial move ment of sheep to thla locality Is only a teat. If the range is profitable the cattlemen believe that other sheep men will follow with larger bands. Thirty KtiM-kmen t 'oncrriied. In the opinion of Mr. Stanley, who la one among 30 stockmen to utilize the range in the Horse Ridge vicin ity, they have a prior right, not par ticularly under the law, but under a gentlemen's agreement, for the use of the range. He aaya that the atockmen have kept close to their ranches, which dot this locality, and have so tar been able to graze their stock in a fairly economical way. He contends that the range will not carry horses and rattle and also the sheep, and that thu range Is enaen tlully In character a horse and cattle range, cattle at the present, predom- ! Inntlng. With regard to locul sheepmen, he aays, never has any serious difficulty urlsen, and that tho feeling among the cattlemen and local sheepmen has always been friendly. Tho range over which the controversy is said now to exist embraces about 30,000 acres, upon which approximately 1.500 head of cattle and horses are being wintered. Dlllirulty In in Distribution.

Baseball Players' Strike Last Thing Possible, Says Expert Hy Hamilton, (United Pres Staff Correnpondent.) NKW YORK. Dec. 9. Talk of a baseball players' strike In the event that certain things are not done is rampant In the heads of many base ball followers today. David Fultz's demands on behalf of the fraternity; Ban Johnson's declaration of war, and his suggestions that salaries be made lower, have made an Ideal set ting for such chatter. However, It would be the best bet In the world, in the opinion ot more than one baseball magnate, thut the baseball players do not strike. Fur thermore, there are a great many cloao students of the game who pre dict tho expected showdown will bo a tamo affair. Such rumors are bound to have aonu) foundation. In fact, it has been stilted by Pultz that he would go to such limits U necessary to curry out some or his most chcrlshod plans. But there Is no likelihood of such a thing taking place. Tho mngnntes filmply would not permit tt and the baseball players would not carry it that far. It's a falr-alzed blurt on each aide, with the odds in favcr of victory for neither. COUNTY LEVY FIGURES GIVEN GENERAL FUND TAX IS LOWERED. Rodent Bounty aod lncrea.se In Geo rral School Lnry Make Total Haute aa Last Tear Estimat ed Valuation 98,304.400. THE COI VTV LEVY. - General fund 18.85 mills General school 4. mills City high school 2.5 mills County library 06 mills Rodent bounty 6 mills Total 26 mills Returning from Prtneville last night. County Commissioner Over turf reported the exact details ot tfaa budget levy of 26 mills as an nounced In The Bulletin yesterday. With these items available, local taxes for. 1917 are seen to be aa fol lows: Kor Bend city property, city 18, school district 12.17. and county 2314; total 58 V4; for school district 12 outside city limits, district 12. 17 mills, county 23 V4. total 40 mills. The county high school tax is not paid in district 12. Court Hud to Guess. To a large extent the labor of the court in setting this year's levy wu guess work because of the lack of definite information on several points which are necessary to be con sidered in deciding on the tax. One of these, the actual county assess ment for the current year, which ia the valuatibn on which the tax is levied, is not yet known because of the failure of the State Tax commis sion to announce before this time what the public utilities ot the coun ty are valued at. Lacking this Information, the court proceeded on the theory that this item of the total was the same as last year, and that the grand total was J8, 534. 400,. and all computa tions were made on that basis. Another piece ot Information lack ing was the amount ot state tax that the county will be called upon to pay next year, and this also was esti mated on the basis of last year's tax. If it turns out that the amount is greater the county general fund will be reduced by the amount not anticipated, which Is taken for state purposes. t'ompurison is Made. Comparing the levy for 1917 with that for the current year It appears that the general fund millage is re duced 1.6 mills and the general school tax Increased one mill. The county high school and the library mlllnges remain the same, or 2.5 and .05 mills, respectively, and ons new item is added, 0.6 mills for rod ent bounty. In setting the rodent bounty at the figure given It is understood that the court was influenced by the fact that the bounty law, which was udopted by the initiative at the last election, may be contested in the (Continued on page 3.) To close the gates of tho baseball parks, as bus been threatened by sev eral of our leading baseball moguls, would mean financial annihilation for some ot them. Of course, there will be the argument that organized busehall would stand staunchly by the short fellows. But when the re cent tiff with the Federal league is considered. It doesn't seem quite pos sible that the magnates would enjoy flinging 'out a tew more coins to join the ghosts ot those who walked the plank during the troublous reign of James Gilmore. And tt would be the funniest thing In the world to see tho star ball player trying to earn money doing something else. They would soon bo ready to capitulate, and capitula tion would come after tho game had been dealt the most serious blow in history. llaseliall players and magnates nlik? seem to be doing all In their power to sour the public on a game that hits grown tut on tho tolerance of this same public. Tho more mer cenary jolts the better, apparently has, come to be a popular slogan. Nothing would come near dealing tho final smash to the-old pastime than a strike ot baseball players.
