Expect Some 10 Stay.
while the scheme is to furnish on
" temporary accommodation TO these
rrasers, the men in the county who
have given the matter attention feel
that many OF the stochmen will de-
eide TO stay here, especially the young
men.
The big land companies have given
,he use Of their lands free for this
year. The U. p. d. b. has list OF all
such offers. The smaller land own
ers have not been consulted, but the
time is so short that 1t would be an
impossibility TO consult them in TIM
10 accommodate the grazers.
The arrangement IS for this year on
~ Any grazer who decides to stay
until next year will have to make his
arrangements for land and other ac-
commodations himself
Committee 10 Steer Them.
The committees named at the head
OF this article will act as steering
committees to see that the men who
send sheep to Iron county get safely
landed at the point TO which they have
been directed The United States gov
eminent will tell the stockmen what
point to consign their stock to- All
OF the plots OF land we're handed the
government in one lump document
There will be no contest within the
committee to have sheep sent TO one
place or the other. When sheep are
sent 10 any point on the east side OF
the county the committee will be noti- !
fed and one OF the number will be on
hand when the shipment arrives and
see that the man gets to the tract as
signed him.
In addition the committee will ask
tho railroads to have unloading racks
made for use at the different places
where unloading IS 70 be done
Mr.. Thomas was IN attendance az
the meeting and stated that the sheep
are unloadad IN remarkably short
time lie had seen several Thousand
sheep unIoadoG 10 half an hour rhe
sheep, alter beng confined in the car
for several days are anxious to get out,
and they move quickly until they are
filled. when they let up on their fast
pace and can be handled easily.
Procantlon Against Disease.
The state laws compel all shippers
10 take precaution against the spread
OF disease All sheep and cattle must
be inspected by competent authorities
and clean bill OF health given.
In the present instance II Is intend
4 ed to pass all sheep dipped this spring
but any sheep not having been so
dipped must be dipped before coming
here or Immediately after arrival.
A sheep is a very tender animal
and disease COMMON to that animal
runs riot when II gets into a flock
Just when shipments will begin to
arrive is an unknown quantity. In
fact. no shipments may come here at
all. AZ every county of the peninsula
has been canyassed just as has Iron
and numerous tracts nave been offered
all over the upper peninsula. The of
ficials expect, however. that the de-
mand for grazing lands will be sc
great that many more will come than
Is arranged for at the present time
