Farmers Fight Range Law.

Farmers Fight Range Law.
Range wars are brewing between ir-
rigated land farmers and dry land
farmers in Carbon county.
Under the provision of the state
open range law, ranchers on irrigated
tracts allow their cattle to range. Dry
landers, especially those who have no
fences, hold the law an outrage, and
are up in arms. The two classes are
forming into bodies and will go into
the courts.
The dry farmers, however, openly
hint that they will not await the slow
action of legal justice, as roaming cat
tie will have destroyed their crops be-
fore a decision could be reached.
The irrigated tract men replys that
they will demand protection from the
state. The law is expected to be TAX
en- up in the legislature in 1917 for
amendment.
