Acres Of Fine Winter Feeding In the
Sweet Water Valley,

Salt Lake City, Dec. GA special to
The Deseret News from Cheyenne,
Wyo., says: A gigantic combine is be.
ing formed at Rawlins by the sheep.
men of what is known as the Sweet
Water company for the purpose OF
excluding flockmasters from Utah
and local cattlemen from encroaching
upon what is known as the Red des-
ert winter ranges in Sweet Water
valley. 1t is proposed to lease and
buy from the Union Pacific every
alternate section which is owned by
the company and thereby control ap-
proximately 100000 acres of the
finest winter feeding ground in the
west.
BY leasing all the land, which will
give them control of alternate gov
eminent sections, the sheepmen will
hold full control and range conflicts
which have been frequent will come
to an end.
The sheepmen who propose to lease
the land have offered the railroad
company rate of one cent per acre,
or $500 per year for the land. The
proposition has been wired to the
Union Pacific general office at Oma-
ha, and it is expected that the deal
will be closed in a few days.
