90 in which you ask for the restriction
or exclusion of sheep within the nation
al forests upon the watersheds of
streams used for irriga ton, / have the
honor to inform you that the allow
anoes of stock upon the different ma
tional forests for the season of 1908
have already been made and in many
cases meetings of the stockmen have
already been held and range allotments
agreed upon Therefore. it would
greatly unsettle the sheep business
and cause much just criticism II a re-
duction in the number of sheep already
officially determined should be made for
the season now about to open.
In making the allowances for this
and for preceding seasons careful con-
sideration has been given by the for
est service TO the protection of the wa
tersheds of streams used for irriga-
ton, and as fast as was consistent with
fair notice to stock owners, reductions
in the number of stock have been made
wherever they appeared essential to
stop damage from overgrazing. The
forest service Is necessarily the guard
ian of the interests of both the irriga
tor and the sheepmen and must be
careful to give one as square a deal as
it gives the other, neither more nor
less keeping the greatest good to the
greatest number always in plain sight.
Without doubt, further restrictions
must be made in certain localities and
! shall be very glad to have the forest
service. II agreeable to you. in Coop

make a thorough investigation of this
matter during the coming summer, In
this way we can determine what re-
ductlon, If any. in the number of sheep
is necessary to stop damage to the
watershed OF any streams used for ir-
rigation. l will be guided by the re-
suits of these Investigations In making

l recognize the primary importance
of irrigation to the west, and the duty
of protecting 1t fully and fairly. At
the same time l want to call your at
tention to the relation of the sheep
indus ry to the general welfare of the
western people. The facts warrant a
very careful consideration of the ques-
tions presented by you. In the past few
years the policies of the present ma
tional administration have resulted in
an enormous increase in the number OF
sheep in the United States, as we'll as
in almost doubling their per capita
value and the value of the wool prod
uct. Ii would be most unfortunate If
after thus giving an industry care and
support, it should be curtailed by re-

Rep. Burton Finds Them Mainly
In superficial Thinking and
Hasty Judgments"
is TOO MUCH ExTRAvAGANCE.
To Avoid Seasons of Dizziness Would
BE Necessary 10 Live in Some Such
Country as China or Persia.

Washington, April lin address
ing the house today Mr.. Burton of
Ohio practically traced the present de-
preston ito superficial thinking and
hasty judgments" The real sources of
the present as well as other seasons of
industrial or commercial depression,
he declared, were to be found in the
distinctive features of progressive
civilization like that OF the United
States where operations largely have
to do with calculations upon future
requirements and where the greatest
profits are realized from a successful
anticipation of prospective conditions.
Generally speaking, he said there
were three related causes of depres-
SION public and private extravaganza;
lack of harmony between different
branches of production. so that sur
plus OF divers classes of commodities
exists which cannot readily be ex-
changed for others; and the absorp-
ton of the capital of country in an
ticipation of enlarged demands in the
future and the hope for greater re-
wards in providing for some new form
Of convenience or luxury. Such uses
of capital" he said may be illustrate
ed by cases like that of the Hoosac
tunnel, the subways under New York
City and the rivers adjacent thereto;
the Panama canal, or in general, i'll
the change Of circulating to fixed cap
ital by the construction of extensive
factories, buildings, railways or other
public works of any kind
The loss of discarded implements
and facilities by reason of invention
and the adoption of improved appli
ances he attributed as another factor.
In consequence, he said, many profit
able investments are lost because
newer and more nearly perfect meth
DDS supply the demand which hereto
fore had been supplied in another
way. "ln no other country" he de-
clared has 1t been the custom so
much as in ours to throw upon the
scrap heap expensive machinery and
other forms OF equipment for industry
or transportation"
Mr. Burton asserted that invest
ments in anticipation of prospective
needs also caused arrangement be
cause of the exceptionally long inter-
val before their completion, their
tardy utilization after completion and
the I.roblematical success of the enter
prises undertaken"
To avoid seasons of depression, Mr..
Burton said. it would be necessary to
live In some such country as China
or Persia. Every land which has
made rapid strides toward industrial
prominence" he said, has at some
time suffered from n severe slacken-
ing of activity in business and in em-
ployment." The present depression
would not compare in severity with
that of 1873 or that of 1898. nor did
he believe it probable that any time
in the future the distress in business
communities would be so great as in
those years.

Feb. 20. 1908.
The Honorable. the Secretary of Agri-
culture.
Sir: Referring to our recent corre-
spondence regarding cooperation be-
tween the departments, there Is one
very important matter which at this
time should be called to your attention.
namely, the grazing of sheep on por-
lions OF the national forests located on
areas tributary to streams used for ir-
Iigation.
Requests have come to me in writ
ing and orally from irrigators and from
the officials OF the reclamation service
that every reasonable effort be made to
restrict grazing by sheep on the lands
from which water flows to the streams
used in irrigation. or to reservoirs con-
structed for conserving the water sup
ply. There are many complaints of
ovcrgrazing because of resultant injury
to the irrigators. At this time, when
the subject of the use of the grazing
lands during the coming season is I'M
der consideration, II is advisable to give
this matter even more careful consid-
GRAFTON than in the past.
My trip through the west last sum-
mer and interviews with numerous men
representing varied interests has led
| me to the conclusion that the question
| of sheep grazing as affecting irrigation
| Is one to which we should devote much
attention, IL we are TO aid in the con-
servation of the water resources for the
greatest benefit to the largest number
OF citizens
have the honor to request that, as
far and as rapidly as may be practi-
cable, sheep be restricted on, or when
necessary. excluded from watersheds
of streams now or Immediately to be
used for irrigation, and that as to 9TH
er watersheds held for future irrigation
projects, sheep grazing be carefully re-
stricted. Such restrictions are needed
not only for the lands reclaimed by
the federal government. but. as WELL
for those reclaimed under the Carey
and deseret-land laws.
Very truly yours,
