Sheep industry faces extinction east of the mountains
William Hughes of Morrow county tells a Portland paper that high taxes and scarce grass on eastern ranges make sheep raising unprofitable there. He cites 60 cents per acre taxes, 16 cents per head on Blue Mountain reserves, crowded ranges, and farms taking prairie land. He says sheep can still thrive west of the Cascades with longer grazing and less land, noting Willamette valley profits from wool and lambs exceed grain at current prices.
