sTOCkMEN GET TOGETHER.

The stockmen of klamath county
are going to get together-in fact
they have already done so-and set
tie the differences that for years
have existed between the sheep and
cattlemen. This is to be accomplish
ed by the creation of a grazing re-
serve east OF Langell valley, and the
proposed change has the full ap-
proval of both interests.
When this question arose in acute
form last winter the Herald contend
ed that a satisfactory solution could
be reach without irreparable injury
to the interests and rights Of either.
1t vas for that reason We urged the
organization o IA Wool Growers As
sociation. The wisdom Of this con-
tention is now in evidence. The or
ganized sheepmen have, thru their
association, unanimously accepted
the proposal Of the organized cattle
men to Great a grazing reserve east
OF Langell valley. under the control
OF the interior department. II this re-
serve is created, and we have no
doubt but that Il will be, the cattle
and sheep industries will become a
fixture in klamath county. Each will
know inst what the future holds for
IL and build accordingly.
There will, no doubt, be some dis
aDooiptment and loss At the begin

more than be made up by the sue
oess that vii Eventually follow its
creation.
