NO RESTRICTION PUT
ON USE OF LAMB
Only Time It May Not Be Used Is On
Meatless Days, Declares
W. B. Ayre.
There is no restriction on the use
of lamb as meat on any except meat
less days which are now universally
observed, according to representa
tives of the food administration, In a
public statement.
In some manner the impression has
gone out that the food administration
frowns on the use of lamb as meat.
This is not true. Some time ago it
was suggested that it would be a con
servation of food to prohibit the sale
of any except adult beef and mutton.
When the matter was fully consid
ered, it was pointed out that the
lamb, so-called, is in reality, almost a
full grown animal and that other con
siderations make it imperative, for
the sake of the industry, to sell a cer
tain amount of lamb yearly so that
there is no objection to the use of
lamb as meat.
A telegram from the representative
of food administration follows, to
gether with a statement from W. B.
Ayer, Oregon food administrator:
"The food administration has plac
ed no restrictions on the use of lamb
except on meatless days for the rea
son that food administration has real
ized that lamb must be consumed In
order to maintain the producers and
give them a fair profit. The adminis
tration hopes the falling off in con
sumption will not Injure the indus
try." "It will be recalled," said Mr. Ayer,
"that immediately after my appoint
ment last August, I had a conference
with the sheepmen of Eastern Oregon
regarding the use of lamb. After the
conference I presented the matter to
Washington, with the result that Mr.
Hoover issued a statement similar to
Mr. Cotton's telegram to the presi
dent of the Wool Growers association.
Mr. Cotton probably wishes to encou
rage the sheepmen of Eastern Oregon
to breed for a full lamb crop nest
spring."

China was to have had a prominent
part in the India revolt, as was re
vealed In the Hindu plot trial now
under way in San Francisco. It was
the purpose of German Intrigue,
working hand In hand with paid In
dian tools, to effect a treaty between
China and Germany whereby China
was to smuggle arms and munitions
to the revolters In India. Letters had
been seized In New York uncovering
the plot.
The Federal Trade Commission has
bared a plot in the Chicago stock
yards, which left unmolested would
have gained control of the food of the
nation with J. Ogden Armour as dic
tator. Disclosures made public by
the commission show that sensational
"high finance" between the Chicago
packers and the stockyards and the
terminal railroads has been and
would have been a greater factor in
causing the high cost of living.
The report of the President's Labor
Commission headed by the Secretary
of Labor Wilson, says that the efforts
to settle the Oregon City paper mill
strike failed because officials of the
Crown-Willamette Paper company,
with headquarters In San Francisco,
refused to arbitrate. The report
criticizes the officials and says the
strikers offered to agree to a settle
ment. Losing Many Sheep.
Anton Vey is losing a large num
ber of sheep this season from lupine
poisoning. As many as 15 in one
night have died in one band. W. V.
Pedro, who has sheep close to the
Vey range has not lost any from that
cause so far.
Mr. Pedro says he used to be In
doubt regarding lupine poisoning,
but he satisfied himself by feeding
some of the plant. Of four sheep to
which lupine was fed in the evening
two were dead next morning. Echo

' Stanfleld Is Visitor.
Robert N. Stanfield, candidate for
the republican nomination for United
States senator, stopped over in Pen

land for a few days. He says he finds

the state are optimistic. Pendleton
Tribune.
Mad Dog In Echo.
Echo had a mad dog scare yester
day when a big bull dog ran amuck
through the town attacking every dog
it saw and showing a willingness to
fight men as well. The animal was
killed at Westlawn by Mrs. Wm. Wil
der, who had been notified by phone
that the dog was headed that way.
The dog came to town from the
Berry place, and was around here all
night Wednesday. Many of the dogs
of town were bitten and some of
them have already been killed by the
owners for fear they might develop
rabies. Others will be kept tied un
til it is seen if they show any indica
tions of the disease.
Nelson Taylor had an encounter
with the animal. He tried to drive
It away from his dog, which had been
attacked, and the mad dog went for
Taylor himself. He secured a gun
and shot the animal twice, but failed
the ranch. Echo News.
