fl STIR IN NEW MEXICO,

The cattlemen in New Mexico are dis turbed by the order of the Commits sioner of the General Land Office direct ing that the drift fences on the gov ernment grazing grounds in New Mex ico must be pulled down. Years ago,
 when the first ranches were established
 in New Mexico, it was found that the
 cattle would drift before the blizzards
 that came across the plains in winter
 for many miles, incurring heavy ex-
 pense in gathering them up and re-
 turning them to their ranges in the
 spring. To prevent this, long lines of
 fences running east and west, and to
 rier to stop the progress of the cattle
 in their course southward. The salu-
 tary effect of this expedient led to the construction of other drift fences.
 and thus the country was divided up into long narrow strips. Following up this experiment, the ranchmen finally
 began to erect cross fences extending north and south to keep their cattle from straying CT drifting" to great distances in either direction between the fences, running east and west, and to keep the cattle of the different ranches from mingling together. Thus the country was practically cut up into large enclosures. The man having the largest number of cattle and the para mount interest in one of the enclosures has been held, in effect, to make an as- sertion of right to the use and occu- pancy of the land in such Q way as to constitute a violation of the statute. The law makes unlawful the enclosure, or the assertion of the right to the ex- elusive use or occupation of any DOT ton of the public lands of the United | States.
