dustry. taking part and telling OF their
experiences in working to get rid of
the coyote. DR.. Murray said the gov
ernment stands ready and willing to
corporate fully with the flockmasters
in this task.
The resolutions were read by sec
tions and after full consideration
adopted with slight amendments. Sec
retary Stewart said that Acting Chief
Forester Potter at Ogden had given
him assurances that the desires of the
sheepmen would be considered in the
selection OF forestry officials. and for
this reason recommendations were in
serted in the resolutions asking that
western men be appointed to manage
the affairs of the local forests.

THE RESOLUTIONS.
WooIgrowers' association are as fol-
lows:
I've are heartily in favor of the
conservation of our natural resources
and the general policy adopted In the
creation OF national forests. We. how
ever. are opposed to some of the rules
and regulations at present in force in
the administration of the forests. We
denounce the forest policy OF hnndl-
ing trespass cases as being tyranical,
un-American, and unworthy Of place
In our national governmental policies.
2-We are opposed to the system that
when a man dies his widow or children
shall under no circumstances have the
privileges of grazing stock on the for
ests simply because the permit was
issued in the name of the husband and
father. Modification should at least
be made TO take care of the widow and
children.
3-Wc favor more comprehensive
system OF transfers OF permits and
do not believe the forest service should
undertake to prescribe just who should
buy our stock. or to whom we must
sell
1--WE have had brought to our at
tention that some are using their per-
mits for speculation. and we fear that
unless strong safeguards are placed
around granting now permits. that
many permits will be solicited with
that end in view, and we recommend
that new permits Will not be transfer
able for a term of years at least and
that they be only granted, after the
applicant mas mace gOOu anu SHniS'e"'
proof that they own the sheep,
5-We condemn the policy OF making
the protective number of sheep less
than the number that can prohtaoly be
handled by an individual as in the case
OF the Mantf forest, and we trust that
where Injustice has been done that re-
adjustments be made.
6--We believe in the fullest co-opera-
ton with the forest service and that IL
is bound to bring about a better under
standing between the users and tue or
hcers OF the reserves. We think that
great care should be exercised In select
Ing men to officer the forest that they
may not be in favor Of any particular
class or ppejudiced against any indus
try.
1-lnasmuch as there is vacancy II
the office OF chief forester of the Unite.
States. we favor the appointment o.
come big western man, who unoer
stands the reeds and conditions In 'h'
west. to this office. In this connection
as there IS TO be a, change in the dls
tIict forester ut Ogden. Nvc also Favor
western man for that position
THE TARIFF.
S-We Join with the National associa
ton IN opposing any tinkerins win IN
tassff on woods and take this opDortup
lty to extend our appreciation ana SIN
