that our public range has now lost
nearly half its value, yet fencing is
against the law, and as the law now
stands it is well-nigh impossible to do
anything to keep the value Of the
range. rhe only practical remedy is
to give control Of the range to the
Federal Government Such control
would not only stop all conflict but
would conserve the forage wihtuot
