ON FOREST RESERVES.
The secretary of the interior Is con-
'idering the advisability of sending
commission to New Mexico and Arizo-
ma to make an investigation and report
upon the advisabihty of allowing the
grazing Of sheep and cattle on the for
,s,t reservations of those two territoti ~.
This question has been brought up by
many protests that are being flled
against grazing on the reservations and
The clamor of the sheen and cattle men
Tor admission to tn. reserves from
which they are excluded. This COM
IL sent, would include rep
of the land office, the geo.
logical survey and the Agricultural de-
partment, who would be instructed to
call public meetings and learn the sem
timent of the people in various locali-
lies and also make personal inspection
and give their own opinions as to the
of allowing grazing or the
hangers that would result therefrom.
Two officials of the Agricultural de-
partment have recently returned from
New Mexico, where they spent several
months Investigating this very ques-
ion. They have not made their report
)r recommendations, but 1t Is unoffi-
cially stated on good authority that
these two scientists are firmly con-
vinced that grazing should be permit
ted on the reserves, under proper re-
strictions. The fact that one of these
men is interested almost entirely in
forestry questions Is significant, for
heretofore some of the strongest objec-
lions that have been made to this graz
ng have come from men whose inter-
ests are solely in the timber. 1t has not
vet been finally decided to send a new
to these territories. The
of agriculture and commits
sioner Of the general land office favor
,razing under judicious regulations,
but the secretary of the interior is in
,lined to oppose such forest reserve
grazing. Officials Of the geological sur
vey, who are also interested, are fa-
inclined toward the grazing
and from present indica-
ions the grazers may be successful.
