 Your committee on resolutions, to whom was referred the address of the President of the Arizona Wool Crow CTS association, beg leave to report as follows:
 We have carefully read the address, and have no hesitation in stating that in our opinion it is the best address that has ever been presented to the Arizona Wool Growers association. We heartily commend the President for his zeal and efficiency, and ask that the thanks of this association be given to him for the hard work and the good results which he has per formed and accomplished. As many of the various subjects mentioned in the address have been separately con- sidered by the Committee on Resolu- tions, we have no specific recommend ation to make, but we feel that this convention should heartily endorse the recommendation of the President re- garding the tariff, on pending legisla- ton in Congress regarding our ir- dustry, on valuation of sheep for tax purposes, on forest and Indian reser-

 Most of our sheep grazing in the south in winter have to trail over driveways in returning north. Con- siderable trouble is being experienced. By reason of homestead entries being made on or near the driveways, nar- rowing of them in places by reason of the state land department leasing to individuals, in some instances the old driveways being entirely closed and sheepmen having to pay for the privilege of going across leased lands, your officers have found it advisable to lease land from the A. T. & s. F. company and from the state. To as- sist in determining what lands were needed for driveways and other ways of protection, the services of Lawyers Gibbs & Gibbs, of Phoenix, were se- cured. Through them we have applied to the secretary of the interior for the withdrawal from settlement of quite a number of sections of land to be set apart as public driveways.
