Alarmed at the increasing restrictions

the Idaho Woolgrowers association has
adopted resolution has adopted resolu-

Gov. Gooding, one of the biggest
sheepmen in Idaho, and heretofore
Known as an advocate of the govern

meeting of the association, which was
held in Boise few days ago, that al
though the association is in hearty ac-

national resources, it believes that the

Many of the prominent sheepmen who
have heretofore been friendly to Forester
Pinchot declare they have now become
thoroughly alarmed over the policy he
is pursuing.
