THE BOISE MEETING.
sociation

The land board, sheep and stock
men failed to reach an agreement al
their conference Saturday March 25,
over the proposed rules covering the
leasing of state lands upon which
there is conflict between the sheep
and stock interests regarding the two
mile limit law and the use of stock
range for sheep, says Boise paper.
BY agreement with the board by all
factions the hearing went over until
April % when the executive com
mittees of the Idaho Wool Growers
association and the Idaho Cattle &
Horse Growers association will meet
with the land board and definite
conclusion will he arrived at. At the
afternoon conference Of the sheep
and stockmen an effort was made to
get together on an agreement by
which a rule could be drafted salts
factory to both. S. T. Blackwell was
chairman of the conference and
James E. Clinton, secretary. Each
side stood firm on their respective
demands and so reported to the land
board
After hearing the report the board
passed a resolution to the effect
that between now and April 22 no
leases will be entered into for state
land with either the sheep or stock
men. BY taking this action neither
side is given an advantage and the
issue can rest until the next confer
ence takes place. Aside from the con
flict as outlined there is no otner
serious conflict with regard to the
proposed rules which the land board
proposes to adopt and put into eff
feet.
Prior to the next conference with
the land board the leading issue VIII
be discussed fully by all sheep and
lstockmen. At the conference March
a5. when it was suggested that the
sheep and stockmen get together and
arbitrate, there was considerable goo
natured feeling exhibited, but 1t was
pls inly evident that both would stand
ON what they consider their rights IN
the matter of using the state lands
for grazing purposes. The sheepmen
seemed OF recognize that in time the,
are doomed to be shut off the range
they held for so many years, due to
the rapidly settling of the dry farm
LANDS. In fact Governor Alexander
pointed this out to the sheepmen
when he urged that they get together
as citizens, Representatives OF all the
state. and not as representing their
Iowu individual interests, 20 that q

agreement satisfactory to all could
be reached.

agreement satisfactory to all could
be reached.
The sheepmen pointed out that the
TWO mile limit law is working out as
an injustice to their industry because
of the settlement of even the remote
dry farms here and there over the
former open range, shutting it of
from them because they cannot ap-
proach within two miles of such farm
lands to Craze their sheep but must
keep them moving. They are for the
repeal of the two mile limit law.
The stockmen demonstrated in their
argument they are Just as determin-
ed the statute shall remain in force.
The small stockmen made a show
ing to the board they were entitled
to some rights and that the range
should not be shut off from them al
together. They argued that unless
there are rigid rules put into effect
BY the land board this viii be the
case. At the conference OF the sheep
and stockmen the issues of all con-
cerned were discussed at length
but it was evident after the dis
cussion had gone on some time there
was no prospect of an agreement be-
ing rvxchsd.
