LAND BOARD
CONSIDERS EMILE
LIMIT GRAZING.
Recently Organized Cattle
and Horse Association
urging Stockmen to attend

On Saturday, April 22nd, the
state board Of land commission
ers of this state will hold a specia
session III Boise for the purpose
OF finally deciding upon a policy
to adopt, relative to the leasing
ofgrazlng lands.
Several meetings of the board
have taken place in the past FEY
weeks when this matter has been
up for consideration. At these
meetings a lew farmers and large
and small stock growers have
been present and have. entered
objections to the board leasing
lands i'll conflict with the two.
mile limit law and with the prior
ity right law.
The sheepmen argued that ii
was unfair to block them from
the range even by the two-m,le.
limit law or by the construction
placed on the law that they could
not bid on and secure state lands
under a lease within cattle range.
1t was the claim of the cattle.
men that the state land board
members have changed front
with regard to the two mile
limit law and that while they
appeared some time ago to favor
the leasing OF no state land with
III the mile-linHt to sheep
men, the rule submitted for
consideration at the last meeting
seems to favor doing this.
The Idaho Cattle and Horse
Growers association, recently
formed at Pocatello, Idaho, will
have present at the next meeting,
on the 22nd of April, it's executive
board, and the secretary, L. E.
Dillingham;, is making an effort
to have as many stockmen and
farmers present at the meeting
as possible, ard in intervie ws
published throughout the state
sets forth that the rule to lease
such land would put hundreds OF
the states farmers and small
stock men out of business, as
such grazing would destroy the
protection afforded them through
the two mile-limit law and the
priority fright law, which were
primarily enacted for their bene.
mt and to encourage the reclama-
ton OF lands in the state. The
association considers the meeting
of vital Importance t. the stock
men and farmers and is urging
all to attend the meeting who
can possibly do SO.
On April 2lst representatives
will meet in Boise to discuss the
situation before going before the
land board.

Hunting
Is. Poor

Deer hunting in the Olympics
has not been so good this year as
usual, according to Homer F.
King and Bob Arkley, two we'll
known Tacoma sportsmen, who
returned Sunday from an extend
ed trip.
The weather has been so dry
up to the past day or so, that a
deer could hear the FOOTBALLS Of
an approaching hunter nearly a
mile away. And for another thing,
the Olympics have been so over
run with hunters that the sport
has been rather hazardous.
"0n one day when Bob and I
had started out in opposite direc-
tions, we both happened to return
upon the same set of deer tracks,
said King today.
'He got in ahead of me. There
we were, both following the same
trail unknowing to each other.
And when we got to the head of
a ravine, we found a third man,
who we did not know was hunt
ing within miles of us, also work
ing the same trail. We ran across
hunters everywhere we went"
Unsportsmanlike hunters are
running the game with dogs, IL
illegally, and spelling the hunt for
those who wish to give the ami
mails an even break, say the Ia
comans.
