CHALLIS TEAM LOSES
IN THE TOURNAMENT

The Challis Basket Ball team, the
victors in District Seven, went down
to defeat in the state tournament in
Moscow last week. The boys have not
had the experience that the older teams
have had and the showing made BY
them is very remarkable.
The long trip from Challis to Mos
row would not be inducive to perfect
physical condition and that, connected
With their lesser experience was prob
ably the two most important factors
to be considered in accounting for
their defeat.
Anyway, we know they did their
best, and even if it was not good
enough to win, we are still with them
and welcome them home with the hope
that next year they viii be just as
much improved over this year as they
are this year over last year. And, IL
they just keep at it they are sure TO
bring home the bacon. There is every
reason to believe that they viii for
hey are a good, clean bunch of young
fellows with no detrimental habits.

Senator Draws Bill to Fix
Fee by Law and to Re-

WALLACE INSISTS ON
CONGRATULATIONS
All Interests Assembling Forces to
Bring Fight to a Finish in the
Near Future.-Much Interest IL
Being Shown.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Tn
view Of the very determined stand
taken by Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace in favor Of carrying through
the forest service plan of increasing
grazing fees in the national forests,
beginning in 1926, there appears TO be
only remote chance for passing any
bill in accord with the resolutions
adopted at the annual convention Of
the National Woolgrowers association
at Salt Lake City in January. In fIct,
no active move is being made in con-
gress to secure legislation restraining
the secretary of agriculture, notwith-
standing there is very general senti-
ment among western senators and rep
resentatives that grazing fees should
be restricted to the cost of administer
ing the reserve range, plus reason
able allowance for improvements.
Senator Borah Of Idaho formulated
a bill carrying out the recommends
lions of the woolgrowers, but before
introducing that bill wants the opin-
ion of the secretary of agriculture.
Secretary Wallace. has not yet re-
ceived a copy of the Borah bill, but
has written to Senator Jones of Wash
ington, setting forth clearly his views
on the question Of increasing fees.
and says it is his intention to make
similar reply to Senator Borah if the
Idaho senator asks his stand on the
western plan of holding grazing fees
where they are now. The secretary
has made public his letter to Sena-
tor Jones, as it is of general interest
in the range states. The letter fol-
lows:
"I have your letter of the 9th, in
which you state your view as to the
policy which should be followed in es-
tablishing fees for the privilege OF
grazing livestock on the national for

gether in sets ranges for summer use
winter use, and spring and fall use
thus providing the operator with hi;
neseccary year-round operating base
and requiring investment on his pari
in no part of the operating base
Under such conditions a long-tern
range lease plan would appear almost
ideal.
Those Government officials in
authority do not apparently favor
such a settlement. They still feel
that a use of the range by sufferance
can still be provided which will give
full measure of stability to the bust
ness. This may be true, so far as that
part of the investment in live stock
is concerned but can not be supported
from the angle of that part of the in
vestment in dependent ranch lands.
As long as the use by sufferance plan
prevails it will apparently continue
to be necessary for the stockraising
and ranching interests to seek to boil
ster up the grazing use rules and prin-
ciples to come as close as possible to
stabilizing conditions surroun ling
their dependent property investments.
The task, admittedly, is much like en-
deavoring to patch up leaky kettle.
A leaky kettle often beats no kettle
at all but we all know that with the
best that can be done in such case,
leaks will continue and the life of the
kettle be questionable and finally be-
come useless.
Considerable time was given last
summer in the conferences between
stockmen s representatives and For
est officials to patching up leaks"
One of the much discussed questions
concerned the qualifications which
should be demanded of new applicants
seeking to be given range through re
auctions on the old established outfits.
Another concerned transfers OF
grazing preferences with sale of out
fits holding the same.
In the first, it seemed pretty gen
orally agreed that for the general wei
fare of all concerned, the old estab-
lished outfits should not be supplant-
ed, even in part, upon the National
Forest ranges unless the new appli-
cant clearly had that kind of property
which the custom of the locality had
shown as necessary for the operation
of the class of stock concerned in the
amount shown as required by the Gus
tom of the locality to provide for the
number of stock concerned 1t seemed
pretty generally agreed that only
operating under similar
conditions should be placed in ''lo-
cality' groups together. Then it was
felt that if the locality was averaged,
a fair measure both as to dependency
and commensurability would be Sc
cured, to apply to the new applicant.
Generally speaking, such rules as
