DISCUSS RANGE PROBLEMS
StOckmen and Farmers Would Avoid
TwO-Mile Limit Troubles

A rule proposed for the eradication
of troubles between woolgrowers and
farmers over the state in the matter
of the present two-mile limit law,
which was discussed before the state
land board at it's meeting on Monday,
provides that farmers may form an
association for the purpose of leas-
ing state lands within a two-mile
radius of their farms, to be used con-
Jointly by them for stock raising pur-
poses. This will mean that the two
mile strip of land about agricultural
areas may pass from public range
into private lands, leased to the farm
ers by the state. All parties in in
terest approached the subject in a
fair minded manner and the meeting
was perfectly harmonious.
A question that was brought up by
the proposed rule and which will
probably be decided at the meeting of
the board on next Saturday morning,
is whether woolgrowers who at pres
ent have leased tracts within the
two-mile limit will be forced to re-
linquish such lands to the farmers.
The source of trouble over the pres
ent regulation, it is pointed out, is
that sheep must be trailed over land
naturally within the two-mile limit to
get to the leased land of the wool
grower. This practice of trailing is
given as the cause of greatest harm
to the range used by small stockmen
and farmers.
A number of woolgrowers and
small stockmen who were present at
the Monday meeting of the land board
expressed themselves in favor of the
proposed new rule Senator Ravenel
Macbeth, representing the Idaho Cat
tie & Horse Growers association,
asked for postponement of final ac-
tion on the rule by the board until
such time as the larger stockmen of
the state could be represented. His
request was granted and final action
will be taken at a meeting of the
board on next Saturday morning.
William Goodall of Eagle and T. C. |
Breshears of the Ola valley, repre-
senting farmers and small stockmen,
were present at the meeting and
agreed to the spirit of the rule. The
following sheepmen expressed the
same feeling: Andrew Little of En-
NETT, Hugh Sproat of Mayfield and
j. E. Clinton, Sam Ballantyne and L.
L. 0rmsby of Boise.

FACT AND FABLE ARE
MINGLED IN SONORA

will be in a Mexican state where fact
and fable are fascinatingly interviewer
in the accounts of its vast mineral
wealth." says todays war geography
bulletin issued from Washington by
the National Geographic Society.
Even the name Sonora is said by
some historians to be derived from
a peculiarly musical and 'sOnorous'
quality possessed by certain marbles
quarried in the state.
Great Stores Supplied.
within a decade after Cortez land
ed on Mexican soil and conquered the
followers Of Montezuma the Spaniards
had launched expeditions by sea and
started exploration parties over the
mountains to find that region which
two centuries before. according to ira
dltion, had supplied the Aztecs with
great stores of gold and silver when
they passed through the land in their
tribal migration to the vale OF Ana
huac. BY 1880 Almindez Chirinos had
proceeded up the coast as far as the
mouth OF the Yaqui river, and he was
followed by de Vaca who brought
back report that gold and silver
could be picked from the ground in
unbelievable quantities. One Of de
Vaca's followers was Sebastian, mu-
latto who had remarkable gifts Of
Imagination. Among the places he
saw were the Seven Cities of Cibola,
ruled by King Tatarax, whose wonder
full, bejeweled robes da2zled the eye
as he worshipped each morning in his
magnificent palace before golden
cross. Mermaids also figured in Sc
bastian's narrative as alluring mar
wells of the Sonora coast.

gold until she had treasure which

constantly in fear OF being robbed.
When she finally reached the capital
she would not rest content until the
fortune had been placed in the safe
