GRAZING FEES ADVANCED
TWENTY-FIVE PER CENT
District Forester at Ogden Makes An
nOuncement of Decision OF the Sec
Rotary OF Agriculture.

The district forester announced that
the secretary of agriculture has de-
cided definitely to increase the fees
for grazing livestock upon the ma
tional forests of the intermountain
district during 1917 flat twenty-five
per cent.
1T was the original plan to increase
the fees for this use of the forests
thirty-three and one-third per cent
each year for the next three years.
thus doubling the present fees at the
end of the third year. In announcing
the secretary's decision in the mat
ter, it is further stated that increases
in following years will be based upon
a further study of conditions.
Receipts from grazing of livestock
within the intermountain district for
the season Of 1916 amounted to ap-
proXimately 1852, 900. With a twenty
five per cent increase, they will reach
a total of at least $45O,OO0 during the
year 1917. Thirty-five per cent of all
receipts from the sale and use of ma
ton forest resources are now return
ed to the states and counties in viii l.
the forests are located for road and
school purposes, so that the increase
in grazing fees also means a twenty
five per cent increase in these re-
turns to states and counties.

the interest of a swimming pool. He
wondered how many would be out to
encourage that as a substitute for
public dances. Personally, he favored
going further. He believed that in
addition to the swimming pool, there
should be a hall for amusements, in
Guiding billiard and pool tables and
a place for dancing, as we'll as a play
ground for children. For such place
of amusement he would contribute
literally; would, in fact, give 500.
He believed that many of those who
attended public dances would per-
sonally prefer the others, if they had
a chance to attend them.
The officers were all applauded for
their remarks A man in the audi
ence said that he would give 5000 for
the objects mentioned by Mr.. Ormsby.
However, it was decided that no move
ment should be started at that time,
as no definite plan had been worked
out, and the general purpose of the
meeting, to show an interest in i'm
proving conditions, had been attained.

path more rapidly? How many will
give them places to earn an honest
living and not shun them when they
get out?
Probate Judge Duvall endorsed the
statements of Sheriff Kendall, which
placed responsibility in a large mea-
sure on parents. He quoted the laws
which had been passed to help condi-
tions and showed that in some in
stances they defeated the very pur-
pose for which they had been en-
acted. This, he asserted, to be not
ably true of the law enacted for the
punishment of those contributing to
delinquency of minors, as it was nee
essary to find that child was ac-
tually delinquent before those at
tempting to make it delinquent could
be punished. He favored making an
attempt to accomplish that result
criminal. Commenting on the popu-
lar conception of the duties of a pro-
bate judge in delinquency cases,
Judge Duvall called attention to the
fact that such officer is a trial Judge
in such cases and should try them
without prejudice.
Probation Officer Ormsby said that
while dances on Saturday night
might be demoralizing, he could not
trace the downfall of any of the boys
and girls that had been declared de-
linquent to that source as the ul-
innate cause of the trouble. This
was, as he understood it, something
of an Indignation meeting. People
were dissatisfied with conditions and
wanted to denounce them. The dance
had been denounced for centuries, and
yet people went on dancing, because
of an impulse in them to do so. Meet
ings might be called and dances de-
nounced until those taking part in
the meetings were black in the face
but in some way at some place people
would dance. Dances at the high
school had been stopped, but dancing
had not been stopped. AS he was
called upon to speak he would say
what he thought, regardless OF
whether it was popular or not He
believed that since the impulse tc
dance was in people it would be bet
ter to permit them to go to some place
under proper care, where they could
meet the right kind of people and take
part in the right kind of dance will
proper surroundings. Mr.. Ormsby
said that there would be a meeting
at the high school Monday night il
