MUST NOT fence
WATERING PLACES
Rule Is Laid Down by the
State Board of Land
Commissioners.

No watering place can be fenced upon
leased state lands where 1t is the only
accessible watering place within a ra =
dius of one mile, while all leases here
after made by the land board shall be
subject to cancellation at option of the
board. These two provisions and the
further one to the effect that all con-
troversy shall be subject to adjudica-
ton of the board whose decision shall
be final, are provided in the new leases
approved and adopted by the land
board. In the future those entering
into a contract with the state for the
lease of its lands will do so under the
conditions outlined above, together
with others provided for but which
have heretofore been in former leases.
The purpose of the provision regard
ing watering places is to prevent a mo-
nopoly Of them to the exclusion Of
stock badly in need of water. The
provision providing for cancellation
protects the state under all circum-
stances and as long as it Is the states
land that is being leased 1t is be-
lieved by the board that none too many
precautions can be taken.
