SHEEP WE'RE FIRST BROUGHT TO WESTERN
RANGES BY SPAM0ARDS 400 YEARS AGO

must be adopted in caring for them. Eng
LAND is a small country, yet many sheep
are raised there without injuring the
beauty Of the landscape. They were not
raised, however, either there or in Scot
lane without wholesale evictions of per-
sons from localities where their ancestors
had long resided. The profit to ,se gained
from sheep was greater than could be
derived from the labor of tenants and,
as is usual in such a case, justice and
humanity too nc chance Of winning
in this conflict with greed.
When sheep went into the northwest,
the battle ketween cattle and sheep wac
a long and brutal encounter. No quarter
was given by either party, and other
than sheep and cattle lost their lives.
Sometimes the cattle strewed the ground
with saltpetre, which did not harm the
cattle, but killed sheep. Cowboys also
charged into fiocks and scattered the
timid animals in every direction, when
many were devoured by wolves. They
were also driven into quicksands, from
which they could not be extricated and
thousands died.
Once, when about 25. 900 belonging to
different owners, were quietly sleeping, a
troop of cowboys charged into their
midst, driving before them a herd of
frightened horses decked out with bells
and trailing rawhides. Hundreds of the
sheep were trampled to death, and the
remainder driven in every direction. 1t
Is said to a taken the herders a week
to gather up the strays sort out the
various brands. Barnes states that 'in
Arizona4tn the Tonto Basin, war waged
FOR three years and cost more than 80
lives, besides keeping a whole country in
a state OF terror in the meantime. IN
western Colorado, especially In Routt
county. the conflict between the sheep
men and the cattlemen over the use OF
the range has been a serious II to
both sides. In the Blue mountains of
Oregon thousands Of sheep we're killed
by irate cattlemen, and in the Green
river district of Wyoming there has
been frequent wholesale slaughter
ing of sheep" And Their adds.
only those who have passed through
these times can fully appreciate the rea-
sons n causes which led up to such
apparently lawless acts. There was no
legal justification for any of them. and
they were certainly discreditable to all
concerned. In spite of all such attempts
TO curb It's progress, the sheep industry
gone on without q pause, until TODAY
1T is too firmly intrenched in the west to
be disturbed or forced back by any other
class of domestic stock"
1t was a bitter fight, with the sheep
men the victors. To be sure they are
still shut out from some portions of the
but every year sees thousands

ing the early COS where the government
encouraged them in peaceful arts to keep
them quiet.
This may be SO, but a blanket was
pointed out to me in 1868, which was
said to be of Navajo manufacture, and
1t was claimed those made by that tribe
were of SO firm a texture that water
could be carried in them. If they did
not learn to weave until 1.-THE early COS, -
how could their robes SO soon have be-
come known?
The first sheep introduced were Mer-
mos. They were brought by Padre Luiz
in 1881 to Pueblo zuni. The early sheep
owners, whether Indians or Spaniords,
did not attempt to improve their fiocks.
In New Mexico generation after genera
ton of landed proprietors pastured sheep
on the same acres that had first fur
nished them range. Some families there
have continued to raise sheep for 200
years on land they owned under Spanish
rule.
In California the desert was the pas
ture ground of sheep in winter, and they
were taken to the mountains for the
summer. At length some sheep men,
more e~nterprising than others, drove
their sheep across the desert and into
the San Francisco mountains. where they
found conditions satisfactory enough to
warrant their remaining here.
olitC tobdOltSllSQ III bht SOubllWtSb,
owners of sheep began to cast covetous
eyes northward, n soon the trek began.
This was in the early COS. The cattle
men along the route did not tax kindly
to the invasion that in some instances
meant uin for them. n the war was
on.
Already in California, tramp sheepmen
had rendered themselves so obnoxious
that a law was passed barring their entry
into certain districts, although a few
sheep pastured there under wise r~estric-
lions would be of benefit in keeping
down weeds.
Not only did the sheepmen invade cat
tie territory, but they went in there
prepared to make none OF the mistakes
of their enemies. They sheltered and
fed their focks during the winter. The
hocks increased rapidly, new pasturage
for them must be found, and they soon
constituted a real menace to the cattle
industry and to the country as we'll.
Had it not been for forestry manage
ment, some parts Of our country might
have been turned into a desert.
That sheep are capable of entirely lay
ing waste the land where they pasture
was plainly demonstrated in their jour
neying to the northwest. In some in
stances they left chino them a strip of
country that appeared to have been
burned over. Not a trace of vegetation
remained. Yet we need wool for a varie-
ty Of purposes-nothing can take its
place. Sheep, then, are quite as neces-
sary at cattle. Tit nomads of the des-
ert thought them more SO. They were
easily moved from one part of the coun-
try to another. II they furnished their
owners with both food and clothing.

Legion Accomplished It's Purpose
On Paris Trip Says Tom Busha,
Helena, National Vice Commander

that while we might differ as friends,
that we respect their governments,
and traditions and regret their sacri-
fices in the cause wherein we were
allies. The Legion confined itself to
a showing of friendship and social
understanding, and to my knowledge
did not enter into the discussion that
properly falls under the diplomatic
branch of our government. In accom-
plishing this, Commander Howard P.
Savage displayed hat keen sense of
duty and fine judgment that made
him an outstanding figure in Europe.
"Some people are still registering
disappointment because little fault
could be found with the department
of the 1900 Legion men and women.
The percentage of misconduct during
the entire trip fell SO far below that
percentage normally accredited a city
of hat many souls in America that
it was hardly believable. Never once
did | see a disorderly man, or hear an
argument between our folks and our
hosts. True, there were some, but so
inconspicuous that they passed In
noticed.
"The convention brought together
into a closer understanding the IT,
100000 ex-service men of the World
war who are members of Fidac, the
International Service Mems organi-
cation. We learned something of
history, the traditions, and visualized
more clearly the post war problems
confronting the great men of Europe.
We did not find the touted jealousy
and envy among them that was feared.
They explained their problems, dem
onstrated what obstacles stood be-
tween us as nations, and expressed
the hope of a speedy solution.
"Nature has fast healed the scars
of war in France and Belgium so it
was a little difficult to trace the bat
tlefront, yet enough remains forcibly
to remind all hat the cost of the
armed dispute was tremendous.
European prices were not ex-
horbitant, and | am satisfied hat in
vestigation will disclose no undue
profit was taken either by the Legion
or the French hotel keepers. The trip
had to be underwritten with a margin
of 10 per cent, and this accounted for
the cry on the part of a few. Never
again will as many people obtain such
an opportunity at the same money"

they could command in order to make
the first payment on as large an acreage
as they could get. This left many OF
them without cash, and the next two
years saw few who were able to lay much
aside. The number Of defaulters at the
second, third, and fourth payments in
creased progressively, and in the long run
nearly a third of the lands contracted
for were given up. BY 1909 congress be-
gan to pass relief acts extending the time
of settlement for later installments, and
in 1920 the 18th such act was passed.
For 43 years thereafter the land prob
lem was a constant battle in congress,
with the industrial east opposing the
frontier west, because the rOntie drew
population away from the east, handi-
Gaping industry and bringing surplus
agricultural products or to the market.
Meanwhile, the new frontier was con-
stantly going through hard times, and
the movement for free lands was gain
ing Roadway with the support of western
and southern congressman.
A law permitting any head of a family
or alien who had declared his intention
to become a citizen, to occupy a quarter
section for five years, n then buy it
for 20 cents an acre passed both houses
of congress in the summer of 1860. 1t
did not make the and free, but the re-
duction in price was SO sweeping that the
homestead opinion accepted the law as
a fair compromise and called it "A bill to
Secure Homesteads to Actual Settlers
on the Public Domain President Blu
chanan vetoed 1t because he believed 1t
unconstitutional.
President Lincoln signed the Home
stead bill May 20, 1862. The only result
of Buchanan's veto was to delay the
policy two years, and abolish the price Of
rs cents an acre. Its privileges were now
extended to ANY person who is the head
Of a family, or who has arrived at the
age of 81 years, and is a citizen of the
United States, or who shall have filed
his declaration of intention to become
such" with the exception made necessary
by the war then raging. and who had
never borne arms against the United
States government or given aid and COM
fort to it's enemies"
The homesteader was allowed a quarter
section of minimum lands, or half a
quarter of double minimum, on five
years of residence and cultivation.
On Jan. l, 1868, the first homesteaders
made their entry on the public domain,
the agricultural college lands were made
ready for the states, n the railroad
, lands were held before the eyes of rail-
public domain entered upon the last
great period of their existence; to re-
main wide open until they were closed,
not by a change Of policy but by the
fact that the resources of the nation
were exhausted.
And through it all, the homesteaders
had the same trials and tribulations. AS
it was with the early colonists on the
New England coast, SO it was nearly 300
years later with the pioneers of the from
tier in Montana.
