MANY SHEEP, CATTLE
IN NATIONAL FOREST

Over three million sheep and nearly
$4,000 cattle will Craze on the Ma
tional forest ranges of the inter-
mountain region this summer. These
stock will turn off a gross revenue in
beef and mutton to their owners next
fall of over $27, 00O, 900, according tc
estimates of forest service officials.
The forest grazing permits be-
ing issued will cover $4,000 head OF
cattle and horses, and 1885, 800 head
of sheep, divided among the states
wholly or partially within forest SER
vice district No. a. Nevada will have
SO, 1900 cattle and horses and 1853, 200
sheep.
The natural increase of this per-
mitted stock, under six months old
at the opening of the grazing season
Craze with the parent stock without
being counted or charged for under
the permits. The numbers actually
grazed are thus greatly in exces of
the permit figures. The stock to be
grazed this summer are owned by
more than $4,000 cattlemen and horse
men and 5000 sheepmen operating as
individuals, or under various forms
of joint ownership.
The receipt and consideration Of the
applications for permits to Craze
stock on the forests. which consti-
tute a demand for summer range in
many parts Of the district, greatly in
excess of the carrying capacity of
the ranges and the consequent allot-
ment of range privileges on the basis
of the applicants qualifications re-
quire a good share of the forest Off
GERS time at this season. Within the
next few weeks the ranges will be
open. Counting the stock into the
forests, supervising and directing the
use of the ranges SO as to prevent in
jury to the forage, insure its per-
petuation and where possible In
rease the carrying capacity through
range improvements and scientific
utilization will be a major activity of
the forest forces throughout the sum-
mer.

TITLED LADY
ARRIVES At M|NOEN

Startling as was the announcement
that Mary Pickford had been granted
a decree of divorce at Minden, it re-
NAMED for the coming of Lady Had
field of England, to the seat of Doug
las county government to draw the
spotlight Of the interest of nations
to the Nevada town, says the Carson
City News.
Lady Hadfeld, accompanied by q
maid and Judge s. s. Downer of Reno
arrived in Reno Tuesday. A waiting
limousine took Lady Hadfield and
her attorney from the station to the
Minden Inn. The maid and the hotel
porter remained at the station long
enough to see to the unloading OF
baggage, which consisted of eighteen
trunks, a large leather hat box and
numerous suitcases, and their trans
fer to the suite of rooms that had
been reserved in advance for occu-
pancy for the titled lady.
1t was impossible to elicit any in
formation whatever concerning the
coming of Lady Hadfield from the
Inn manager, but in spite of denials
of knowledge of any guest OF that
name, there is every reason to be-
lieve that the wife OF the big steel
magnate of England has changed her
place Of residence from the Hadfeld
estate in Sufield and the town house
in London to the widely known hos
telry in the Carson Valley town. 1t
is assumed from the amount of bag
gage brought that her stay in this
state will be of several months dura-
ton.
