sTOCkMEN MEET At
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH

A recent meeting of stockmen at
Salt Lake City to try to get together
on some plan for control of the graz
ing on the public domain, called for
delegates from the thirteen public
land states of New Mexico, Arizona,
California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado,
Idaho, Wyoming, Oregon, Montana,
Washington, North and South Dakota.
Washington and the Dakotas were
not represented.
A resolution was passed to the ef-
feet that to obtain the best use of
the forage growing upon the unoccu-
pied unappropriated public domain
some form of control should be es-
tablished for the grazing thereon and
placed under the supervision of the
Agricultural Department. The dele
gates from Utah and New Mexico
favored the lands being turned over
to the states. A part Of the delega-
ton from Wyoming desired that the
lands be given to returned soldiers,
but as the question at issue was only
one Of control Of grazing and not the
final disposition Of the lands, the res
olution was passed almost unanimous
ly, Wyoming alone opposing it. The
Secretary of Agriculture Hon. David
F. Houston, said that turning the
, lands over to the states was out Of
the question, and in his judgment,
Congress would never do it. Many
government officials present seemed
to think it an opportune time to get
such legislation passed and were op-
tomistic as to this proposed measure.
During the discussion of the ques-
tion one thing was shown very clear
ly that the drouth in the states OF
Utah, Idaho. Montana, Nevada and
Wyoming is very disastrous. Never
in the history Of these states, since
their settlement, has there been such
drouth. No kind Of forage for winter
feed has been raised and the ranges
are barren. Much thin stock. both
cattle and sheep. will be shipped to
market to get the most out Of them
they can. Hay, in some sections, can
not be obtained at any price. In other
sections, rather than pay such ex-
cessive prices for hay, many Of the
stockmen prefer to ship to market,
the high-priced hav. There will he
claiming they can make more Of
saving by ahipping than by buying
very little fat stock come from any Of
these five states, and it looks IS II
fat stuff will be good price. There
will be large quantity of thin feeder
cattle on the market.
Minnesota has an unusually heavy
crop of all kinds of feed. Nebraska
and Kansas have the prospect for
bountiful yield of all their crops.
These states may relieve the situa-
tion to some extent as the railroad
administration has granted full fare
rate to where feed can be obtained
and the stock returned free of freight
charges.
An organization was perfected
with one object in view, viz: to get
the grazing on the public domain
placed under some form offederal
control.
T. w. GRAY,
Delegate from the Gunnison County
Stock Growers Association.

MAI. E. J. MCCORMACK
IN PRIVATE LIFE

Maj. Edward ]. Mccormack, Mem.
phian, former commanding officer Of
Battery A, Hath field artillery, arrived
in Memphis Friday night, having re-
ceived his discharge after more than a
year of active service. Since September
he has been acting as artillery instruc-
tor with the 10th division, under Gen.
Leonard Wood at Camp Funston, Kas.
Maj. Mccormack first saw active duty
in July with the 18th Franch army
corps, to which he was transferred
upon his arrival in France. In front OF
Fort Vaux at Verdun he was with the
poilus when they launched a grand dl-
vision attack, to attract German rem
forcements that were bound to another
point to stop the American advance.
Maj. Mccormack was assigned for in
struction duty in the states last Au-
gust.
Battery A, Hath field artillery, was
: recruited solely of Memphis boys and
left with Maj Mccormack in July, 1917,
for Camp Sewer, S. c. They sailed
early in 1918 for France, and in July, a
few days after Maj. Mccormack was
transferred, they took up first line po-
sition in the Toul sector.
Since that time the battery has dis
tinguished itself in the Argonne forest
and at the, Mouse, where, they saw
heavy fighting.
preparing a lecture tour on the life of
Roosevelt, paying his own expenses and
delivering his speeches on his W
volition. He was a school mate and
colonel of the Rough Riders in the
Spanish-American war. Roosevelt was
a lieutenant-c colonel under him.
Battery e, 2Sth field artillery, at
Camp Funston, one Of Maj. McCor-
mack's instruction units, attained the
highest record of American artillery,
by firing II shells from a Is in a min
ute. The 10th division, which was
slated for overseas duty when the armi-
stice was signed, would have been the
first American division equipped out
and out with American artillery and
other eduinment.
