NATIONAL LIVE STOCK MEET.
The Subject of Leasing Public Graz
ing Land Will Be Discussed

Fort Worth, Texas, Dec. 15.-Ar-
engagements for the meeting of the
National Live Stock association, jan
uary 16, are being rapidly completed.
The attendance from north and north
west promises to be very large.
Ore of the most important subjects
to be considered is that of leasing the
public grazing lands to stockmen.
At the Denver convention a PROPOSE
ton was to have the arid lands ceded
to the states but this was so strongly
opposed by ranchmen, led by Senator
Carey, of Wyoming, that the resolu-
tion failed to pass. This time it
will come up in the form of resolu-
tion favoring the leasing of grazing
lands by the government to stock
men who are citizens, on long leases
and low rental, but under such gov
srnmental control and supervision as
win protect the actual settlers and
prevent the monopoly OF unusually
large tracts by corporations. Anoth.
er subject that Will cause much dis
cussion is the question of permitting
sheep to Craze on forest reservations
Railroad matters will also be discus
sed The question of the expectation
of live stock, through Texas ports ant
the gulf Of Mexico will attract atten
ton as western stockmen are inter
ested in the development of the live
stock movement through western tid'
wafer ports.
