OPPOSED TO LEASING BILL.

Owners of Smalr Bunchcs of Cattle
on the Range Combat 1t.
The holders of small punches of cattle on
the range are strongly opposed to the leas-
ing bill which is now before congress,
which provides for the leasing of unoccu-
pied government lands west of the ninety
ninth meriiian in large tracts for grazing
purposes. The snail holders take the po-
sition that if such Il bill should become Il
law they would he crowded Off tile rangeby
the men or corporation able to lease large
tracts, up to any number of acres they de-
sire, and by this cut the maj with II small
bunch of cattle out Of range privileges.
The holders OF large punches of cattle say
it will work in just the opposite direction;
that they will lease definite locations of
several townships, and by fencing hold
their stock in Il smaller space than they
nov occupy by allowing their stock to
range without restraint, and that the small
holder can easily lease a tract large
enough to provide hay and grazing for his
cattle at Il less expense per Year thar lie
now pays for roundup privileges. One
factor oi the present hill is that it allows
an indefinite continuation of Il lease once
made, and it is practically shutting out
any further homestead filings from the
Semi-ariu regions OF the west.
