The sheepmen OF New Mexico and
Arizona have written Commissioner
Hermann OF the general land Office at
Washington to thank hin for a con-
tinuance OF the grazing privilege in
abe forest reserves OF those i've terri
tories. The secretary OF the interior
had prepared an order which provided
that all sheep on the reserves OF these
territories should be at once excluded
and further grazing strictly prohibited,
Just before this order vas to have
gone into effect, Commissioner Her
mann mad a appeal to the
secretary IN behalf Of the sheepmen,
and the order was modified so as 70
provide that temporarily no more per
mits for sheep grazing In these reserves
shall be issued pending an investiga-
tion to determine whether or not the
sheep injure the forests. but permits
already issued shall remain In full
force.
Meantime the superintendent OF for
est reserves for Arizona and New Mex
leo has been called upon for a report
and largely upon his recommendation
will depend whether or not further
grazing will be permitted. or be discon-
tinued altogether.
