 MT. Bunch presented the following memorial to congress, touching the grazing of sheep within the limits of forest reserves. It will be considered by the council in committee of the whole:
 Whereas, Certain forest reserves have, by executive action, heretofore been created in the northern portion ol the territory Of Arizona, subject to such rules and regulations as have heretofore been established or may hereaftRr be made and promulgated by the honorable, the secretary of the in- terior, and
 Whereas, Tie existing regulations prohibit the grazing of sheep within the limits of forest reserves. and
 Whereas, Though such regulation is temporarily suspended, it may at any time within the discretion of the sec retary of the interior be enforced. ant
 Whereas, The enforcement of such regulation ,or of any rule CT regulation prohibiting the free use Of the public domain within the limits of the fores: reserve within the territory for the grazing of live stock would be ruinous 10 the stock interests of northern Ari- zona and most disastrous to the busi- ness interests of that portion of the territory, as we'll as extremely inju1.i- GUS to the financial interests of the territory at large, without in any man ner working any benefit to the public interests, governmental or otherwise.
 Now, therefore, it is respectfully suggested that the abolishment of the regulation in question, and of anv other rule or regulation prohibiting or interfering with the free use of the public domains within the limits of such reserves for the grazing of live stock, would be greatly beneficial to the people of this territory.
 Wherefore, your memoriaIist ask that the consideration of the secretary or the interior be given to tie sugges- tlon contained in this memoisaI and also the abolishment of all regulations prohibiting or interfering with the freq use of the public domain within the limits of such reserves for tke grazing of live stock, and be it
