. ll1Eg You are IN a reserve and are
entirely selfish. don Q care what the
other fellow gets. You secure ler-
init II Is only for a year If you
trausgrcss a single one Of the multi.
tudiuous rules a surly minded official
can take away yuur permit and never
give YOU another Then where is
your cattle business and the home
YOU have built. You may have a
permit for 100 cattle. but during the
year You cannot increase this number
How Is the progressive rtnchman to
build up his herd, Who is going
into the cattle business ON such a
propositions Cattlemen must have
enclosures ON the range. For twelve
or fifteen prominent Delta cattlemen
he tried TO get permission 10 build
such an enclosure The last words
Of the commissioner were I'VE will
not permit an enclosure on a reserve
for any purpose. A fellow over in
Garfield recently had his range
moved 80 miles Al the whim Of the
supervisor
There is neither rhyme nor reason
to the way reserves are laid out lie
was obliged last fall 10 work hard to
get the city of Salida taken out Of a
reserve. He could stay there till
night telling Of the infinitely fool
rnles which the land office has made
to govern these reserves.
Mining is disastrouslv affected
A man has a good mine in "a reserve
for instance lie wants timber for
the buildings and shaft. He sends
TO Washington for permission to cut
. log. 1t passes before a bot Of clerks
and after a few months he gets a
letter stating that at such aud such
a time the forest supervisor will be
around 10 blaze trees that he can cut.
And how is a man going 10 prospect
this great domain under such pre-
1 posterous law. 1t is wrong and
there are a whole lot of fellows In
/ congress who think the same. "a
voice, And a whole lot in Gmnis1n
county.
1 Mr. Hogg said he was not opposed
TO the idea Of reserves, but the way
they are conducted and the extent.
As elincher he showed that most
OF the mountain reserves, contrary
to the opinion Of theorists, did not
/ conserve a drop Of water for nine
tenths Of the July and August water
comes from snow banks high above
timberline where IL has been hacked
I in immense drifts or In creyiccS
/ Immense areas were included with
not a stick of timber on them Thou
sands OF acres OF rich agricultural
I land are included In fact the pres
ent system is calculated t1 work vast
. injury TO the growing west These
vacant pubiic lands with their latent
possibilities had been held out % ms
