Walla Walla. About 751)00 sheep
have been pastured on the Walla
Walla district of the Umatilla
National forest, according to- Forest
Ranger Albert Baker, who came to
town yesterday to make out his re
ports. The sheep are now being
brought out i as fast as they can be
moved without crowding the roads
and all will be off the range within
four days, Mr. Baker stated; The
animals were allowed on the range
about 10 days early on account of the
dryness of the early spring and now
must leave early. The cattle, num.
bering about 1,200 head, will be left
on the range until the first of Novem
ber.
The range is extremely dry the
ranger reports and two fires were dis
covered Sunday in- the' reserve. The
larger covered about half an acre.
Both were controlled before any dam
age was done. Mr.' Baker declares
the past season to be the dryest he
has ever seen here.
The dryness of the woods makes
deer hunting poor, he states, as hunt
ers make too much noise earner
