c. +, Stewart, secretary of the Utah
Wool Growers association, has lust
sent out letters TO thousand sheep
raiscrs in the state OF Utah, reminding
thom OF the work that tho ASSOCIATE ion
has done in the past, and outlining the
work for the future Answers to these
letters will give tho secretary, who
also represents the legal interests of the
association, basis on which TO work,
as they will convey 10 him the opin-
ions of all Of the important sheep men
of the state.
The reserying of the winter sheep
ranges by the forestry bureau on the
plea that they arc forests is resented by
the sheep men. and Mr.. Stewart, acting
for the association, has already taken
thus matter up with the government. 1T
Is alleged that the bureau has over.
stopped lis authority in the matter OF
taking these grazing grounds which
have always been used for winter
ranges for sheep, and on which, 1T IS
said, there is practically no timber. a
largo part Of this winter range has re-
Gently been added To the forest re-
serves In Beaver county.
There will be d meeting Of the direc-
tors of the Utah Wool Growers assocIa-
tion. in their offices in the Mcintyre
building, November IL, al which pro
gramme Will be arranged for the con
ventlon Of the wool growers of Utah,
which is called for December s and 9.
AT this convention all Of the important
questions that confront tbe sheep men
of Utah Will be gone over in a thor
ough manner. This will include trans
portstion, roads. trails. forest reserves
and many other questions that are
likely &c come up at the national con
veptlon of sheep men to be held al

questions that concern them.
The rate hearing that was held here
is said 10 have been the most important
Of any held thus far, and it is thought
that tine sheep men of Utah generally
understand the situation. The fight for
freight reduction on wool will bc prose
cuted with great yigor at the national
convention, as will also the fight TO
hold trails and roads that have been in
use for many wears BY sheep men and
are not fitted for anything else At the
