FAIL
in THEIR MISSION
Forest Service the Aoments the Cache Ma
tonal Forest-Owners of Small Bands of Sheep Are To
Be Protected by the Foresters

Some OF the sheepmen who range
their sheep on the Cache national for
est in the summer time have a griev-
ancc against the forest service de-
partment because of the alleged man
ner in which the foresters conduct the
grazing privileges. and they have aired
that grievance before the head of the
department here, the question being
submitted particularly to Homer Fem.
who is at the head of the grazing
department in the Ogden district.
A committee representing the flock
masters who use the Cache grazing
lands appeared before the forest serv-
ice department here yesterday after
noon and personally made complaint
to Mt Fem. The committee was com
posed OF Quill Nebeker, Rich county;
E. r. Summers, Paradise; T. w Pc
terson. Cache county; j, T, forge
son, Bear River City, and John Spiers
OF Ogden.
The complaint registered by the
committee was that the allotment OF
sheep for the Cache forest reserve has
been reduced TO a point where the
man with anything like a large herd
Of sheep cannot enter the ranges
there, and that 1t makes II losing
proposition for him to cut his herd
into smaller lunches and Craze them
in different sections OF the country.
They claim that the reduction in the
allotmentS is altogether in favor OF
the speculator who buys small bunch
Of sheep and grazes them on the for
est reserve for a short time and sells
out at a large profit. excluding the
fiockmaster with 4 substantial herd
OF sheep.
The sheepmen say they are being
Disseminated against In the rules re
garding tho grazing of cattle and
sheep on the range. The sheep herds,
they maintain, are required TO remain
in a well defined district and are not
permitted to infringe upon any other
territory, while the cattle herds are
turned loose and permitted to go
where they may. 1t is also said that
the ratio for grazing as fixed by the
forest service is five sheep for every
head of cattle, but the price charged
for the grazing privilege does not
conform with this ratio. in that the
charge for sheep is G'a cents a head
and only 20 cents a head for cattle
The ratio should be. according to the
figuring OF the sheepmen, to ], 1t
now being only about to I.
The forest people were requested to
increase the allotment rather than re-
duce It, and to compel cattlemen to
keep their stock on specified ranges,
the same as the sheepmen are requir'
ed to do. and that the proper ratio be-
tween the grazing Of cattle and sheep
be maintained.
The latter was discussed In a friend
ly way by the members of the com
mittee for the sheepmen of the Cache
forest and the forest service men, diff
ferent views respecting the situation
being freely voiced, at the conclusion
of which Mr., Fem advised the com
mittee that 1t would be absolutely
impossible to enforce the rule of herd.

TO do that would practically drive all

the small owners Of cattle Of the
country out of business.
Mr.. Fem also stated that the re-
ductions in the allotments were made
for the purpose Of giving to the small
sheep owner. residing near the forest
reserves, equal advantages in the use
of the grazing lands of the forest with
the larger owner. the latter often
times being transient
The allotment has been reduced TO
1000 head for each Individual, and it
will not be reduced below that fig
ure. said the forester, but he could
not give the committee any assurance
as to whether it would be increased.
The impression prevails that the al
lotment will not he increased above
the 1000 mark.
The foresters say that 1t Is the pol
icy of the service TO protect the small
owners against the encroachmentS of
the larger ones, and that 1t is more
than likely that the rule Will not be
changed in the near future.

AGAINST HIGH
PRICE OF COAL

After the question of the present
price of fuel had been discussed at
length the Manufacturers association
of Utah, at q meeting held Thursday
night. adopted the following resolu-
tions:
"Thc Manufacturers association OF
Utah realizes that we are now facing
q most serious problem. by all means
the most vital question that mas ever
confronted our members, namely, the
present price Of fuel for motive ana
manufacturing use. The cost OF coal
is the greatest item OF expense ior
most manufacturers, and the cost OIL
coal in Utah is from 30 per cent 10 loo
per cent higher than in the states
east of the Rocky mountains and cor
respondingly higher than the cost OF
fuel oil on the Pacific coast,
For the reasons stated we feel that
efforts to attract manufacturing inter
ests here are greatly discounted, IL
not rendered fruitless.
Local manufacturers have many
disadvantages to meet. and the recent
rise in the price of coal. for many
years entirely too high. was uneXpect-
ed and We believe uncalled for.
Short Sighted Policy.
1--WE believe that the policy of the
coal producers and railroads in charg-
ing such enormous prices for coal is a
short sighted policy. IS against the
public good, Is retarding industrial ad-
vancement and Is bllghting the devcl-
opment possible with our states i'm
mense possibilities. At our doors are
some of the greatest coal fields In the
world, yet industrial conditions In
Utah arc not at the high point they
might be. Now, while thousands of
men and women are without work.
is an opportune time to take a stand
for present and future prosperity.
The Manufacturers association Of
Utah extends It's thanks TO the state
officials and public spirited men who
have undertaken the work OF better
ing conditions in the securing OF
cheaper coal and more equitable
freight rates. and we pledge them our
support to that end.
ITO the end that effective and per-
manent relief may be secured In the
direction indicated. we trust that the
