cATTLEMEN PROTEST AGAINST
SHEEP ON NATIONAL FOREST

A mass meeting was held Tuesday
to protest against the alloting of ter
ritory for sheep on the National
Forest.
Lluke's hall was crowded with
ranchmen and cattlemen from this
vicinity as well as from Hotchkiss
and Paonia. Supervisor Kreutzer
of Gunnison was present. also Ranger
Miller of Crawford and Ranger Thur
man from Paonia.
John Campbell acted as chirman
of the meeting, and after a few re-
marks introduced Mr.. Kreutzer who
in well delivered address presented
to the meeting the situation from the
standpoint of the Forest Service, and
stated that the Service was neutral in
the matter and would give both sides
fair consideration.
Messrs. w. L. Savage. w. ]. Reid,
F. r. Rockwell and others made ad-
dresses, all being of the opinion that
as this country had been developed
by cattlemen, the industry would
eventually be ruined by the introduc-
ton Of sheep on the Reserve. and
great loss sustained by the people who
had helped to build up the community.
Attorney NJ. d. Vincent. of Paonia.
representing the cattlemen, made one
OF the mcst finiEhed addresses OF the
afternoon, his line of argument being
that although the cattlcmen would not
be harmed during the GUNNER grazing
period, the sheep would monopolize
the spring and fall range on the pub
lie domain which the cattlemen had
used for many years. and should they
be deprived Of this, would be obliged
10 go out of the cattle business.
A petition protesting against sheep
was presented by F. r. Rockwell and
was unanimously adopted by the
meeting, 1t being the intention to
have the petition signed by bona fide
taxpayers of this community as they
are the ones that are vitally inter
ested, and in our opinion have been
misled from the beginning in signing
a petition asking the allotting of ter
ritory on National Forest, in as much
