Who Has Just returned From
Convention of Wool Growers
at Salt Lake

Thomas Nelson, of Stone House,
one of the largest stockmen in the
eastern part of the state who has lust
returned from the forty-third annual
convention of the Wool Growers Asso-
citation at Salt Lake, gives an inter-
esting account of the proceedings be-
fore the convention and saws that
some of the matters are of vital inn
portance to this state, particularly this
section. Clifford Pinchot, chief forester
of the agricultural department, appear
ed before the convention and stated
that it was the government intention
to place great tracts of land in North
ern Nevada under Forest reserve
This action, Mr.. Nelson believes viii
work irreparable injury to the stock
men of Nevada, and he declared that
the transformation of the ranges into
forest reserves from which the sheep
are excluded and other stock allowed
on at only stated intervals, will put
the state back twenty years and re-
duce her wealth SO per cent. 1t will
mean the breaking up of the stock bus
mess, he stated, and the most of Ne
vada land is servieeable only for graz
ing purposes.
The sentiment of the stockmen at
Salt Lake in opposition to the gov
ernment's forest reserve policy was
vigorously voiced by Vice President
DIR. Wilson of Arizona, and his speech
was met with great enthusiasm. The
speech of Chief Forester Clifford Pin

action was coldly received.
