Houserock valley has a scarcity OF
water for the number OF cattle using
the range and stockmen usually are
not fond of buffalo.
Consultation with forest officials
brought out an offer on their part OF
approximately 80 sections Of forest and
government land lying in the south
end of HouSerock valley to be used as.
permanent buffalo range. In this
area water will have to be developed
by tanks, by pipe line from North

to cut eway all stock except buffalo.
"Mr Hugh Anderson, cattleman OF
Flagstaff and Houserock valley, has
contracted to care for the buffalo this
year, but we must continue our work
until the herd is permanently located
on the range offered by the forest;
