adults, conducted by the Central
Union high school, has recently or
ganized student body and named
the following officers to take
/ charge for the remainder of the
school year. President, Manuel

direction of Miss Nora Kreps,

Washington Coolidge has

Arizona to recommend IN his message

would permit cattiemen In western

purposes, for a period OF at least 10
years. Under existing conditions, the
president was told, cattle raisers are

aRce that they will be awarded the
same area In succeeding years; and
therefore, have not been able to fence
the lands and to put down water wells.
The historic rivalry between sheep
raisers and cattle men OF the west,
said Cameron, has passed to such an
extent that sheepmen have Joined with
the cattlemen IN an effort to have
grazing legislation enacted.

OF which Cameron Is member. plans
to present bill at the next session

that stOckmen would prefer that the
fee system be based on the area OF
grazing land used instead OF basing

grazed. which is favored by the for
