Jackman W rites of Oregon s Range Land
And How To Improve It With Science
Income from Oregon’s ranges—
roughly a dollar an acre for range
grass—may double In the next
25 years.
America’s vast range lands pop
ularized by television westerns,
are about due for a face lifting,

to kill unwanted
brush, and machines to seed the
land are now available. Pioneer
ranchers are leading th e way and
experiment stations, such as the
Squaw Butte station n e a r Burns
are providing the answers.
For many years the country’s
ranges were pretty much as the
westerns portray them: Where,
after a lickety-split gallop down
the mountain and through the
creak “they cut ’em off at the gap”
Where herds bawled, flocks ba
aed, and horses neighed. Where
livestock roamed with buffalo
am, played with deer and an
telope.
Much of Oregon's range land
lias fallen into this pattern. "Wes
tern” is a misnomer for Oregon’s
range land tales, however, be
cause most of the state’s range
is east of the Cascades, Jackman
notes.
And a lot of Oregon is range
land if you consider all u n p lo w e d
land as such, he says. Alxmt 92
percent, in fact. However much of
the west side forest is too thkk
for livestock to roam so really
isn’t thought of as range.
Oregon’s range livestock busi
ness got a good start about the
time Oregon became a state. The
big problem was Indians. It was
n’t until the last of the Indian
wars in 1878 that the big open
country was free from Indian at
tacks. From then on, there were
big cattle drives east. The rail
road reached Ontario in 1883. This
became one of the west’s big live
stock shipping points.
After the Union Pacific reached
Portland livestock numbers kept
booming. Then the Columbia Sou
thern built to Shaniko and for
many years that little town (sel
dom in the news now) was the
country point in America that or
iginated the most wool.
The range was severely over
used and nearly ruined. It was
open to all coiners, so no one could
save it. It went down hill gradual
ly and now carries less stock than
it did fifty years ago.
