for grazing permits in districts num-
bered 2. 3 and were gone over with
considerable care. and there appear
ing no perceptible discrepancy in
the authorized allotments by the
Forest Service and tue applications
for permits in these districts. the
grazing permits were easily agreed
upon and every user protected in his
rights. In enumerating the number
of bulls owned and supplied by each
applicant for a grazing permit, 1T
was found that everyone had a suffi-
eient number of serviceaole bulls
with his herd to meet the require
ments of the state law. There ap-
pearing some negligence on the part
of some users in these districts in
putting out salt in 1907, II was
agreed between the supervisor and
our advisory board that the ranger in
charge join with our advisory board
in seeing the system of dispensing
salt more effectually followed out.
Under such surveillance we beg t.
report briefly that Henry Womack.

earnestly recommend that these par

or suffer the penalty of being bar
red from the range privileges during
the year 1909 We make this rec
ommendation. not in view of the
amount involved, but in view of the
principle involved. With the excep-
tion of these isolated cases, there has
been displayed marked interest on
the part of the users in keeping all
matters pertaining to range in a
perfectly harmonious condition in
those districts of the Battlement Me-
sa Reserve used by us. We firmly
believe that few more lessons of
business punctuality given in this
reserve will insure a reign of har-
mony and continued prosperity in
our industry here.
The meeting of our advisory board
with the supervisor of the uncom-
pahgre forest reserve took place on
thC fth III tnt tItN VI DelIH.
There arose many perplexing ques-
tions in this interview regarding the
conduct of some of the users of range
In this reserve. There were reported
by your advisory board in this re-
serve for the year 1907. some parties
who were not paying forest reserve
grazing fee on the full number OF
cattle grazed by them; and others
who were not furnishing their quota
OF bulls on the range. Some were
guilty OF both misdemeanors. Your
advisory board and the ranger Wig
orously pressed these matters. and
we are pleased to report that all back
fees are paid; salt was plentifully
furnished on the range. and all those
short on bulls. except one user In
district numbered 4, have. during the
summer of our administration,
