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

i under average sack happens to be
; opened so much the worse for the
grower. 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
