KILLED 218 WILD AMI
MAILS IN DECEMBER

Twenty-Five hunters, working under
M. E. Musgrave, director of predatory
animal control in Arizona, made to-
tai catch of 218 predatory animals
during the month of December, fact
brought out in the hunters news let
ter issued monthly by Musgrave.
This enormous catch included 16
mountain lions and five lobo wolves,
one of which was killed on the Canoa
ranch of Gen. L. H. Manning by w.
A. Knibbe. Two wolves were caught
by j. ]. Tucker, working out of Cliff
ton and two by e. e. Anderson in the
Douglas section along the Mexican
border.
The strong urge made by Director
Musgrave in the November news let
ter in which he asked the men of his
force to bring down as many coyotes
as possible, resulted in the killing of
153 coyotes and % bobcats. Many
more of these pests were unquestion-
ably destroyed by poison and never
found by the hunters.
The campaign against mountain
lions got into full swing during De-
cember and the showing made was
impressive Every lion hunter on the
force brought in one or more of the
cattle killing cats, with one exception,
thereby performing an important
service to the cattlemen Of the state
in livestock saved.
M. G. Guzman, working in the Cac-
tus district, heads the list with total
of four lions, while Cleve Miller at
Metcalf trailed down and killed three
of the mountain felines. Carl Larsen,
at Rice, accounted for two lions, while
a lion each was brought in by Albert
Jones at Blue, B. F. Colcord at Roose-
velt, ]. M. Wilson at Bonita, A. G.
Martin at Payson, J. L. Frederick at
Camp Verde, j. F. Goswick at Camp

STOCK GRAZING RULES
ON FORESTS CHANGED

New grazing regulations for the ma
tional forests, to give ten-year per-
mits the full force and effect of con-
tracts; to encourage individual allot-
ments where practicable, and to pro-
vide for organization of local grazing
boards, were announced by Secretary
Jardine. The effective date was mode
January 18.
The new regulations will apply on
al of the 100 national forests. In a
statement announcing them, Chief
Forester Greeley said it was the be-
lief of the forest service that tho
changes will materially aid in Sta
bilizfng the western livestock industry
and that they will meet largely the
criticisms directed against grazing adj
ministration on the national forests.
The purpose of the regulations,
Chief Forester Greeley said, is to help
stabilize the western livestock indus-
try and to give stockmen who use
forests larger voice in the settle
ment of local grazing affairs. The
regulations will apply on all s160 ma
tional forests and under them the 10
year grazing permits previously au-
thorizcd cannot be revoked except for
violation of their terms.

IMPORTANT STATE NEWS

ranges that can be used to produce
winter feeds.
. Grazing fees may not be increased
but for good cause may be decreased
or entirely abated in case of unavoid-
able adverse conditions.
A system of local government is
set up whereby the stocknen are real
ly given elf-government in the treat
ment of the ranges, subject to appeal
to the secretary of the interior in
matters pertaining to unreserved
lands, and to the secretary of agricul-
ture in matters pertaining to forest
reserves.
Land office registrars are made the
business agents of the government in
the granting of permits, and appoin-
tees of the interior department, in
case of unreserved lands, and of the
secretary of agriculture in case of
forest reserve lands, are the govern
ment executives to see that the terms
of permits are not violated, but the
judiciary rests in local tribunal of
three federally appointed local men
who will decide all disputes between
stockmen and supervising officers, or
between each other, subject to appeal
to the proper secretary, as stated
To an antiquated cowpuncher, like
this writer. the whole arrangement
looks like a godsend to the people of
the west. Stock growers will now kill
their scrubs and buy good bulls. Every
possible inducement is given to dis
continue over-stocking the ranges and
every incentive is offered the grower
to cut down the number and increase
the quality.
Herds of livestock with compara-
lively free permits on public ranges
will be desirable property and first
class security for loans. There will
be no more banks broken by frozen
paper when the new law has had time
to usher in its benefits, and if there
are any inefficient stock growers they
will get a wiggle on themselves or
they will accept offers that will in
duce them to get out of the business
and give place to men who will be
successful.
The changes will come slowly but
surely, if the bill becomes a law sub
stantially as it is written and passed
favorably on by the committees of
both house and senate.

PROPOSED NEW RANGE
LAW WOULD HELP MAKE
CATTLE TRADE STEADY
By S. A. sPRAGUE

So many big things have been COM
ing to Arizona that a few millions,
more or less, coming from new
source is likely to be viewed as q
matter of course, but what is now go
ing to happen to the range and stock
growers is of such transcending I'M
portance that it should cause jubila-
tion throughout the state.
With the passage of the. newelaw,
(and its passage is as certain as fu-
ture action of congress can bel, the
livestock industry will be placed on
firm foundation, and in money
making, permanent condition.
There are 100000 cattle and that
many sheep on the Arizona ranges.
That number now has the range pref
ty we'll denuded, but with the return
of normal rain fall and credit arrange
ments for money to buy valley pro-
duced concentrated feeds for winter
use, the ranges will sustain that num-
Der in good condition.
With the facilities now to be ac-
corded the cattle men it is not unrea-
sonable to expect, when the grade of
the stock shall have been brought up
to standard warranted by the new
conditions, that there will be net
profit of SO on each head of cattle,
and So on each sheep, or that the in
dustry will have a net annual income
of $10.00O,000.
But that is only a very small frac-
tion of the benefits to come to the
people of the state. The tremendous
sums of money the stockmen will
spend for winter feeds, fencing ma
terial and other materials for the bet
terrnents and range improvements
will add much to ordinary business
and cash circulation.
Here are some of the features of
the proposed law that will make. good
collateral of the stock business and
bring to the operators plenty of cheap
money.
Inc range permits are to be made
permanent for periods OF ten years
with preference rights of renewal.
The permits will be assignable SO
that they may be mortgaged with the
cattle, making a collateral that will be
as desirable as municipal bond.
In most instances the permits will
be exclusive of fencing, will be per-
mtted and encouraged, as also will
the sinking Of wells and the construc-
ton of reservoirs and water holes,
under arrangements whereby all such
improvements shall be paid for by the
government or by any succeeding per-
mitee, and those who make such i'm
provements may be credited therefor
on fees due the government for using
the range.
Provision is made whereby ex-
changes in lands may be made be-
tween the government and the state
and its political subdivisions, whereby
the scattered sections of school lands
can be gotten into one OF. more large
bodies for more convenient and eco
non1ic use; and all this will revert to
the benefit of the livestock growers;
cattle, sheep and goats.
The law covers all the western
range states. 1t is exceedingly liberal
to stock growers; yet homesteaders
are allowed differential rights for
range permits near their home, as also
are all owners of lands near the

WATER & POWER LEAGUE
HOLDS USUAL MEETING

Reading of communications received
from various city officials and letters
Of commendation from business men
over the state of Washington regard
ing the ability of WI Roberts, con-
sulting engineer, employed by the city
council to make a new financial re-
port as to the cost of developing
the Wynooche river project, comparing
data contained in the report submit
ted by Stevens & Koon, with other
availabale data, short talks by Cross,
Phillips, Wieland and Stewart consti-
tuted the principal activities of the
Wynooche Water and Power League
at its regular meeting in the council
chambers Of the City Hall, Tuesday
evening.
In a brief address, attorney ]. N.
Phillips said that the matter of pub
lie ownership is still a debateable
question throughout the country, and
declared that he could not understand
why it should remain a subject Of
doubtful discussion, when its merits
and success had been proven beyond
a doubt. "Oil, coal or wood is requir-
ed to produce electric energy where it
is generated by steam. These three
necessities are diminishing and water
power is the only assurance we have
as a means Of producing electricity
for the future generations. Our gov
ernment should never relinqiush its
rights to the water power Of the eoun-
trys," said Phillips.
A. ]. Stewart, realtor, said that dur
ing the course of conversation with
one Of the officials Of the local pri-
vate utility company, he admitted that
Taeom's municipality owned projects
are an outstanding success. He ex-
planned the successful operation of
public ownership in Rochester, Minn.,
as outlined to him by the mayor of
that city few weeks ago.
President Wieland explained that
many important issues would soon
face the people Of Aberdeen, and
urged everyone to use his or her best
influence to speed up registration. He
said that q real issue should induce
the people to register and that the de-
velopmeut Of the natural resources Of
the WynOOche river by the City Of
Aberdeen is the most important issue
for the betterment Of the city that
has ever been advanced.
