BROUGHT OUT BETTER UNDER.
STANDING BETWEEN SHEEP
AND CATTLE MEN.
Clashes Between Two Interests Over
Range Will Be Eliminated
Many Applications Made.

The livestock industry has been
greatly benefited by the Walla Walla
meeting held for the purpose of al
loting the Weneha forest reserve.
This is the universal opinion of the
sheep and cattle men who attended
the meeting. Not only has the public
at large mad its attention called tC
the magnitude Of the livestock inter-
| ests in the Inland Empire but the
| sheep and cattle men themselves have
reached a better understanding and
| clashes between the two interests
| over range is expected to be entirely
done away with under the plan evolved
by the forestry bureau in alloting the
reserve.
Naturally we cattlemen are desir-
GUS of preserving the range as much
as possible and in consequence there
have been frequent clashes between
territory" a prominent stockman said
yesterday evening, discussing the
meeting and the results it will have
on the live stock industry Il believe
the plan evolved by the reserve off,
Gals to let the two interests decide
among themselves the alloting of ter
ritory was the only feasible way of
handling ticklish subject Naturally
some sheep and cattle men will feel
disgruntled at the rulings made by
the committee to establish the boun-
daries but no one can say but the
allotments were made with all fair
ness and by men who are thorough
ly conversant with the reserve and the
number of cattle and sheep it will car
~.
The only difficulty that 1 can fore
see is in acquainting both the sheep
and cattle men with the exact bound
aries Of their respective territory. TIC
become familiar with the boundaries
will probably take a season and in the
meantime there may be little friction.
A sneepman may stray over into cat
tie country and vice versa, but these
are matters that will be worked out
satisfactorily in time"
