PUBLIC HOMES
SUING FOR LAND

Twelve hundred acres of land, to
be equally divided between the
Children's home and the Deaconess
Old Peoples home of Spokane is the
prize that is contended for in the
contest over the probating of the
will at ColfaX of the late Frederick
Rider of Rosaia The will was
drawn in 1909 and provided for an
equal division of the property be-
tween these institutions. A later
will was drawn during the present
year that revoked the former will.
Rider then wrote a codicil to the
1909 will, telling of the further dis
position of his estate. in which he
said nothing of the will drawn in
1910. The attorneys for the first
will say that he codicil added has
repealed the 1910 will.

MAY CUT DOWN
GRAZING PERMIT

R V. R Reynolds. forest examiner.
has gone to the Manti forest. which
embraces the watershed to the Castle
valley country. for the purpose of In
vestigauDg whether the ranges there
are being too heavily stocked with
cattle and sheep,
In the immediate past heavy floods
have prevailed in both Of those val
leys and the people have beon In
clIned TO attribute 1t to tho fact that
the grass and underbrueh OF the
watershed have been destroyed by
cattle and sheep. leaving no protec-
tion to the snow and rain. II Is said
that the country at the top OF the
Manu mountains has been so com
pleely covered with sheep and cattle
as TO denude 1t OF grass and brush
to the extent that when a hoaSy rain
comes the water rushes TO the valleys
below In great torrents. doing much
damage to forest and field.
Mr.. Reynolds considers this the
proper time to make investigation
and II 1t is found that the heavy graz
ing of the country is responsible
in whole. or In part, for the heavy
floods. the grazing allotmeDts for next
year will be materially reduced.

branch of the service.
