RANGE CATTLE
SLOWLY DYING
OF STARVATION
Hard Winter Still on and Every
Ounce of Feed Around Prinevllle
Is GoneHardest Winter In Many
Years.
POKTLAND, Or., Feb. 10, Cattle,
on the ranges around Prinevllle aro
dying from starvation owing to the
hard winter through which they have
been forced to go. The national for
est service will this wuek endeavor
to get some aid to tho cattloraen. Et
ery ounce of feed to be had in that
country has been used to fight off the
rigors of the winter.
The winter of 1909-10 has been tho
hardest that tho cattlemen of central
Oregon have had to go through In
many years. In many places snow
has been three feet deep on tho
ground for several months. Every bit
of grass Is covered up. Tho ranges
privately owned in the bills of the
country have been covered nil winter,
yet up to this time the feed held in
reserve for such emergencies has held
out. Now, however, the last of this
food is gono and the cattle owners
aro eagerly trying to securetho neces
sary food for their stock.
A long distance call from Prine
vllle to the national forest service
was received yesterday begging the
service to open to the cattlemen the
Deschutes national forest. Many of
the valleys through tho reserve aro
clear of snow and It Is tho only re
source for tho cattle. Realizing tho
helplessness of tho cattlemen, the dis-
trlpt fnratAr- nrtlnmil Mix. vnncA n
ed. tt Is believed that several thou
sand head of stock will be rushed tq
this feeding place as fast as their
wasted strength will permit.
