 All sheep entering the reserve by either of these two routes, under permits to graze in the reserve, when returning to their winter ranges outside the reserve, to the south and southwest thereof, shall return by the same route; the trips in either direction and across the reserve from the trails to reach the allotted ranges to be made in the shortest reasonable time.
 When necessary for the super visor to grant permits for sheep which are grazing in the reserve under permits to be moved from one allotted range to another, or off from the reserve to reach ship ping point, the supervisor shall be required to issue such permits for the shortest feasible route, and not permit such stock to loiter on the allotments of others or on the cat tie ranges.
