At a meeting of the Roaring Fork
Live Stock association held at Carbon
dale last week, Eugene Grubb was ap-
pointed a committee of one to 20 to
Denver and do all in his power to pre-
vent the shipment of foreign cattle to
these ranges to Craze. Resolutions
were adopted stating that the range
for summer feeding is already over
crowded in Garfield, Eagle and Pitkin
counties, that in the counties mentioned
there is no winter range, and that out
of upwards of 100000 tons of hay
grown here there will not be 500 tons
of an excess, all going to show that the
influx of any considerable number of
foreign cattle or sheep will work a
hardship, not only on the local grazer,
but to the outside owner turning cattle
loose on these ranges ,as well.

pie contributed to the campaign with
the understanding that a director wa.
to be chosen who would devote his en-
tire time 10 the movement. it was de-
cided that in all fairness to these con
tributors that this be done.
The Hammond Boy Scout council was
almost entirely represented at the
