THE LEASE
QUESTION
JOSEPH KAFkA OF GARRETT DIS
CUSSEs 1T FROM THE VIEW
POINT OF SMALL FARMER
Finds That Hundred Sixty Acres
of Land Is Too Small for Average
Ranchman to Make Living on and
Believes Big Sheep Outfits Are
Usurping Prerogatives.
Garrett, Wyo., Feb. rs, 1905

To the Editor of The Republican.
AS the time seems now ripe to air
our views in regard to the lease ques-
tion," l would like to have a Finger
in the pie" in defining the rights and
privileges of the small ranchmen, and
to tell some of the writer's my opinion
on some of the statements they have
made. One Rock River correspondent
says, why should we ask for thou,
sands of acres of land to run eight or
nine head of horses or cattle on?" We
don't ask it. In the first place, a any
one owning eight of nine head of cat,
tie make a living on a 16O-acre ranch?
That much land would run the stock
all right, but who could make a living
with that amount of stock? You must
stop to think it isn't like owning a
small farm back east, where people
raise all their own fruit and vegeta-
bleS.

cars said the valleys of the Yukon and
the frozen steppes and tundras of ST.

contestant, reached the city first, after
being dragged through ten-foot snow
drifts by six teams of horses and
hauled over railroad tracks by a
switch engine.
