 BASEMENT REPORT

SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. IA. (P)-A conference has just been held in Salt Lake City between the Secretary of Agriculture and the western stockmen interested in grazing rights in the national forests. This subject was considered in a series of hearings held by a committee of the U. s. Senate last year when rather extreme de- mands ofthe livestock interests were exploited.
 Bills were submitted to Congress and the whole subject was rather thor oughly discussed in the press, but nothing was done to change the meth cd of dealing with the matter as han dled by the U. s. Forest Service.
 Secretary Jardine appointed Dan D. Easement, an experienced livestock grower of Colorado Springs, to make an impartial review of the whole ques- tion and MT. Easements report was the subject of the recent conference.
