MR FENWICK’S IMPRESSIONS Me) Fenwick who was one of the delegates from this county to the National Livestock convention, in forms The Times-Herald that he learned much of the doings of stock dealing while hobnobbing with the big fellows. It was a combination between the packing houses and bankers that caused the bad mar ket last fall which prevented deal ers in the feeding states to hold oft and not liny. Unless some agree ment can lie made it will still con tinue to effect the stock market ac cording to Mr. Fenwick The formation of an independent packing company by actual stock growers would, perhaps, relieve the present situation, but lie found sen timent much divided in this re spect. While many stockmen fav ored tlie move there were also many who opposed it and lie did not know whether it could be made a succesa or not. The organization of a state cattle growers’ association will possibly result in some good lie thinks, but he did not seem very enthusiastic over the matter. Mr Fenwick says lie was held up for $30 to join'the National Association and with an assessment of 2 cents per head of stock for the state organization and 2 cents per head of stock for the county organization, it would final ly take the cattle The reporter did not have an oppor tunity to talk with any length with Mr. Fenwick on other matters along tlie line of tlie convention.

Uacle Sam Tells District Attorney Hull Tear Down all That are on Gov ernment Land. ta “All the fences must come down.” That’s what Uncle Sam at Wash ington told Mr John H. Hull United States Dis,rict Attorney for Oregon. Uncle Sam said a lot if other tilings, some of which Mr. Hall remember ed when lie arrived home yester day, others of which he didn’t think of for the moment “All fences enclosing areas of the public domain,” said Mr. Hall to an Oregonian reporter, inhaling deeply of tlie warm midwinter breeze, tlie like of which had\iot entered his lungs since his depart ure for the National Capital, 16 days before, “must be removed. The ultimatum from Washington is final. I am instructed to en force to tlie letter tlie law against fires and trespass on tlie public do main. I shall have all the assis tance I need, and when spring comes, inspectors will get busier than ever.” “Every single, solitary fence?” was asked. “Yes, sir, [explained to tlie au thorities ■. t Washington that if the law were enforsed it should be en- forsed impartially and rigorously I told them that stockmen have been enclosing public land with fences from very early times; that they have become dependent, in many eases, on such enclosures, and that in the past the govern ment has blinked at such practices. “But if the government intends to change its policy, I said that the law should be enforced against all non alike. My instructions were to go ahead for removal of tlie un lawful fences. We shall r.ot make fish of one case and flesh of another; all shall be treated alike.” Ladies' Library. The entire receipts from the lec ture on “Oregon History” given on the 20th ¡net., were $21.80, of which sum $18 30 remains clear for li brary purposes. This, we consider a splendid compliment to the courteous and gifted epeaker, Hon C. W. Parrish, who so kindly gave this excellent lecture gratis to the benefit of tlie of the Ladies’ Library. The musical numbers rendered were highly appreciated by tlie audience.
