Dated this 15th day of December, 1916. GEO. McDUFFEE, Sheriff of Morrow County, Oregon. wool grower who has made a study of his business knows that the quality of his wool differs materially from one year to another owing to dry falls and severe winters, shortage of feed and many other conditions, so that often wool grown on the middle or lower ranges is superior both for strength and staple than wool grown on the foot-hill ranges. But on the other hand when we have dry win ters, lots of sand storms and short age of feed on' the lower ranges the case is just the opposite. So when the wool buyer buys wool on the sheeps back thinking no doubt that his purchase will be as good as the last years clip on account of it being raised on the same, range, it some times happens that he is dissapointed with the clip when delivered, and the grower seems for the time being to have benefited by the transaction, he nevertheless gains nothing in the end. The sooner we get out of the no tion that our wool ought to bring more per pound than our neighbors, because they used to in former years, the better we will be off, for it may be that that same neighbor is more progressive than we are ourselves, and is following the rules of best se lection more closely in the breeding of his sheep, and the more modern methods of preparing his wool for market. The wool sales day and sealed bid system on the whole has not been suc cessful owing in a measure to the ap parent indifference and non com- petive action of the buyers. Grow rs are reluctant to show their wool because of the practice of the buyers who heretofore, if the first offer on a clip is refused, regardless of how much tha market has advanced be fore the second sales comes off, to never offer any more on that clip and n some cases less than the first offer called for. Another reason is that when wool has once been inspected by the buyers and contents noted and marked down in that mysterious lit f!e book, the description and quality of that clip, if the price offered is rejected by the grower, that particu lar clip is widely advertised among STRAYED OU STOLEN. Notice is herby given that one black yearling mare colt, branded a on right stifle, has strayed away or NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION Public Land Sale. Department of the Interior, U. S. Land Office at The Dalles, Oregon, November 17, 1916. NOTICE IS hereby given that as di rected by the Commissioner of the General Land office, under provisions of Sec. 2455, R.

This of course is notning more than business on the part of the buyer, but does not work out advantageously to the grower. If it were possible for the Oregon Wool Growers to own and control several warehouses in different localities of the state, prepare their wools in the very best possible shape for market, ! offer their lots by number only, j without name or brands, location of , range or number of sheep shorn; j put such lots up to be sold, either by i auction or sealed bids, and if they j are not competent to buy such , wools regardless of where those wools were raised, how many sheep's backs they came off of, or whom the owners of such wools were-; they ought to lose their jobs, and no doubt would, and in time we should get new men with new methods in the field. Al though we no doubt would miss their dear old familiar faces, it would be more refreshing to hear some new and unfamiliar yarn in regard to how much they lost on last years clip. Personally, from past experiences, in years gone by, I am not partial to '.he practice of consigning my wool or putting it in the hands of middle men, if I can obtain prices to justify me selling at home; but on the other hand, if prices offered by home buy ers are not up to the quotations of market values, then I would refuse 'heir offers and either hold my wool n home warehouses or, patronize the Portland market. For by so doing I would have my wool practically at home and in a measure control the disposition of it, and furthermore I would be encouraging an infant and home industry on this Pacific Coast, for with our waterways open to the ica, the Panama Canal open to the raffle of the world, Portland is des tined to become one of the principal wool markets. Now, gentlemen, the main object tor this convention is for business. Several matters of vital importance to this industry has recently come to our notice, such as, withdrawal of lands lying adjacent to trails, open ing up of new ones if possible, the raising of dues for grazing fees, the running of cattle at large on our sheep ranges without apparent at tention on the part of their owners to keep them within the boundary line, the destruction of tens of thousands of dollars worth of sheep from lupine and other poisons, owing in a meas ure the long distances we have to drive our sheep, in going to and com ing from our allotments, without suf ficient food and water, and last but not the least, the re-organizing of this Association. Another matter that is interspers ed with sadness which I regret to announce, is the death of the late Henry Ireland, former Supervisor of the Whitman Forest, whom I know the users of that Forest will feel -leeply the loss of such a man, who at all times did his best to be fair and impartial, and although confronted by many tangles in former years, was 'n a great measure instrumental in bringing about on that Forest the harmony which exists today. And although late to announce, I feel that this meeting should not come to a close without passing a resolution of condolence to his faimly, as a tribute to his memory from his many friends. In conclusion, I feel I cannot close my address to this Association with out paying a tribute of respect to the memory of the Pioneers and Pioneer Stockmen of Oregon. Before us wa have a colelction of pictures of the Dathfinders and founders of tljis in dustry whom, some fifteen years ago, an enterprising artist collected group ed together, and framed. This pic ture is like the well that is never missed nutil the water is gone, or mens' good deeds until after they are dead. Most of these grizzly bearded men have now past to the great be yond and are seen on our streets and ranges no more. They may of had their faults, who of us have not? But over them we will cast the broad mantle of charity and remember on ly their virtues which all of us would do well to emulate. They were ever ready to help one another in the time of stress even to dividing their last load of hay iu a snow storm. Their methods of doing business, perhaps would not do for the present day, but the bond of friendship and unity that existed between those hearty old pioneers should not be allowed to die by their successors. We are too prone to watch our neighbors with a jealous eye, and work from selfish stand points, which In the end is detrimen tal to ourselves and to, the Industry as a whole. So let us stand shoulder to shoulder, as once did those old men, first for the protection of our country and flag and second to build up this organization so as to make it a credit and bulwark to the in dustry it represents, always remem bering in union there is strength when the time of adversity comes which, according to the law of ave rage, will come sooner or later. So with these. few words of admonition given in the spirit or rremlship, with due reverence to the pioneer stock men that have passed and with well wishes to the few who still remain among us I respectfully submit for your consideration this report and stand ready at the proper time to render up the gavel of authority to my successor with good grace and hope whoever he may be that he will be given both moral and substancial CHRISTMAS SPECIALS at the VARIETY STORE Articles costing from one to twenty-five cents mean in expensive yet useful gifts.
