Grazing Fee Appraisal
Results Discussed by
Stock and Forest Men

The stockmen who use the Hayden
National Forest Reserve near En-
campment and the Medicine Bow Re
serve met with l.. H. Douglas. In
spector of Grazing for this district.
Forest Supervisor II. G. Hilton of
the Medicine Bow Reserve and James
Blackhall, Supervisor of the Hayden
Reserve on Tuesday morning and
afternoon for the purpose of dis
cussing the results of the appraisal
of ranges which has been conducted
for the past three years to determ-
inc a new basis for grazing fees.
The meeting was addressed by l..
H. Douglas, whose district covers
Wyoming, Colorado and South Da-
kota with headquarters at Denver,
and he explained the appraisal and
the reason for the general increase
of grazing rates which will not go
into effect until 1926 and will then
be paid quarterly, a fourth of the
sum each following four years and
the further continuation on condi-
tion of industry at the time. The
main difference of the present and
new basis Is that the stockmen now
pay a flat fee which applies to all
ranges for a given class of stool
while the new basis is judged on the
differences in character of the
ranges affecting their value which
has been taken into consideration.
1t has resulted in different fees for
the several ranges some being ma
terially lower than others.
The meeting was to inform the
stockmen OF what has been done uI
to the present time and to get theil
suggestions regarding the value OF
the different ranges. The meeting
was not intended for the settlement
of the problems but the stockmer
were asked to study the Appraisal
and to make recommendations prob
ably sometime in the future wher
another meeting will be held.
The stOckmen were asked to en-,
ter into discussion and to- ask ques
lions anytime during Mr.. Douglas
speech with the view of clearing vi
any points which were in doubt
Supervisor Hilton read the Medicin,
Bow reports and several details wer,
discussed. The gist of the program
was for the greater stability of graz
ing use of the national forests ant
regulations covering the grain,
' fees.
The meeting was attended b,
about Is men and 1t was very sue
cessful in that the sheepmen be
came better acquainted with som
OF the problems of the forest servic
and the service in turn came close
to the needs and problems OF tn
sheepmen.

that at the present rate of 80 feet

bank changed its name to the First
National Bank of Rawlins. John
Mahoney. one Of the present directors
OF the First National Bank. was a
charter member of the bank, and II.
Rasmussen. also a director. was one
OF the first stockholders. Mr.. Tier
ney early became associated with
the First National and was for many
years one OF the largest stockholders
and a director.

ton. Mr.. Geo. Bible. the cashier.
