Il
day at the headquarters OF the service
handling matters that came before
him with an alacrity, precision and
competency that we'll bespoke the
abilities of the man.
There were many visitors in the
city, who had business with the bu-
reau. among them being sheep anc
cattlemen and ranchers from the yari-
Gus sections of this district, which
embraces the northern portion OF Art
zona, the states of Utah and Nevada,
the southern part of Idaho and the
southwestern part of Wyoming. Every
man and combination or men were
given a hearing and the matters IN
which they were concerned were
promptly attended to and many eX-
plantations and adjudications were
| made
An important decision was given by
| Mr., Pinchot regarding the grazing
privileges asked for on the Humboldt
reserve Of Nevada 1t was that the
! property owners OF that district would
| be given grazing allotments In pref
erence to the stockmen owning tran
STORY herds. This means that the
small stock raiser who has a farm
or ranch In the vicinity or the re-
| serve Will be given an opportunity TO
use the forest reserve for grazing pur-
| poses. After the allotments have been
| made to these men what grazing lands
| in the reserve are still open. Will be
| allotted to the transitory herds. This
| matter had practically been settled
before this time, but had not received
the official endorsement OF the chief
forester.
Mr. Pinchot stated that he was de-
termined to protect the property own
ers of all the forest districts against
the inyasions of the transient people
who generally have large herds OF
stock and who would like very much
to occupy all OF the grazing lands
found in the forests. THE little man.
he said, shall not be crowded out so
long as l have anything TO say about
the allotments OF the grazing lands
embraced In the reserves. They have
their homes In the vicinity of the re-
serves and are entitled to the graz
ing privileges there. After they get
what they are entitled to, the remain
ing portion Of the grazing territory
will be given those owning the larger
herds that are almost invariably tran

This ruling Will exclude great herds
totaling several hundred thousand
sheep, owned by BasQues, who Of late
years have overrun the state with
transient bands.
