IRREPRESSIBLE CONFLICT
 THE RANGE.

It has followed inevitably that the forward tapping tide of settlement pushed the sheep and cattle together on the western ranges. Now it is curious fact that the very odor of sheep drives cattle from a good range to poorer one, even though the sheep may still be miles away. The fundamental trouble is that sheep are destructive to the range. They eat a country bare, and in a bad season will even crop down a for est of young pines. The well-known ex- porer, John Muir hit on an apt phrase when he dubbed them ''hoofed locusts." !" They feed in compact masses and their sharp, chisel feet, driven by a hundred
 weight of solid flesh and bone cut out every blade of grass, roots and all. The vegetation is killed for years to come,
 the ground often being stamped into a rock-like cement. Now in the arid
 lands every bit of vegetation, whether it be trunk, leaf, bough or root, serves oas a conductor of water through the hard surface. The conservation of the water supply depends on vegetation just as vegetation in turn depends on it. Falling water finds no vegetation to ab-
 sorb and hold it; necessarily it runs from the impervious ground without seeping in. In a country where the
 value of land may be stated in terms of water this is nothing less than a ca ] lamity, for the fine grazing grounds or : which cattle have been wont to fatter are utterly ruined, Washes and ra' vines now run where used to be leve
