After StOCkmen.

M. A. Myerndorf, special agent
of the United States land depart
ment, returned yesterday from
trip to the Salmon river country,
where he spent several days in
vestigating the matter of unlawful
enclosure of government land by
stockmen. Mr.. Meyendorf went
to point eighteen miles above
Whitebird. His Investigations,
which were of a preliminary char
acter, were the result of repeated
charges that have been made by
settlers that large tracts OF land
have been fenced 70 the exclusive
use of stockmen. Mr.. Meyendorf
will visit the region again and
spend perhaps month there max
ing a detailed investigation. He
reports that his present trip dis
closed that thousands of acres Lave
been unlawfully fenced, the terri
tory affected extending for a dis.
lance Of about 100 mics along the
Snake and Salmon rivers. AT
points the tracts fenced extend
back from the waterways, distances
ranging from two to five miles and
Mr.. Meyendorf reports that in one
instance he understands 6, 900 acres
are under fence. The fencing used
is in most instances barbed wire,
and natural barriers are used to
cconomize the construction eX-
pense. Ridges, bluffs and ravines
which prevent stock trespass, fire.
quently enable the enclosing of
large tracts with the utility of a
small amount of barbed wire over
the open ground. Mr.. Meyendorf
states that these enclosures are
made principally to provide a sum-
mer range for stock and embrace
the tracts reaching back to the
higher and more mountainous
attitudes. During the winter the
stock is grazed along the sheltered
localities contiguous to the rivers.
Mr.. Meyendorf states that the
law against unlawful enclosure is
q stringent one, the extreme pen
atty being 81 900 fine or one years
confinement in prison, and that
the apparent flagrent violations in
the Salmon river country will un.
doubtedly result in vigorous prose.

Mr.. Meyendorf says the spring
roundup is now in progress in the
Salmon river country, preparatory
to driving the large herds to thu
summer ranges. For many years
large herds of cattle and stock o
all kinds have been grazed in til,
Salmon river country and TIN
owners, it seems, have adopted tn

Governor is skilfulIy reproduced in the
flesh tones. The skiuful modelling of
the hands is noteworthy.
The friends Of Governor Cleghorr
have felicitated Mr.. Wores particularly
on the expression of the face Since
the death of Kaiulani the Governors
dominant expression has been some
what sad, but the Wores portrait
shows the subject in kindly. genial
mood. aptly fitting the purpose for
which the portrait was painted.
This happy circumstance is attribut-
ed by Mr.. Wores to the happy remarks
made by well known young architect
OF the city. who was viewing the pic
ture in Wores studio for the first time,
during a sitting and whose trite say
ings brought an occasional twinkle to
the Governors eye.
The portrait has been delivered to
the Club and now occupies the place
of honor i'm the reading room. where
it has been placed on a stand to avoid
the combative effects of the colors en-
ployed in the decorations of the room
The gift is eminently appreciated by
the club aside from the value of a
being not only the president but the
oldest member of the club.
Mr.. Wores has been asked to paint
a portrait of the late Paul Neumann
which will be painted from photographs
and sketches made by Mr.. Wores dur
ing the nainting of a former portrait
now HANGING in the Bohemian Club of
San Francisco Mr.. Wores knew Paul
Neumann for a number of years before
his death and feels confident that he
can produce a successful portrait.
