MUST OBSERVE
GRAZING RULES
MOIR WARNS
Permits Required of Ranchers On
Forest Areas, Official
Explains
Will Enforce Law
No Unpermitted Stock Will Be
Allowed To Craze On
Colville Forest

In spite of the fact that the per.
mitted season for cattle and horses
on forest range does not commence
until May l or, in some cases, ever
later, that plant growth has beer
abnormally retarded this year be-
cause of unreasonable weather con-
ditions, forest officers have found q
number of cattle grazing on the
forest during the past few weeks
according to A. D. Moir, Colville
forest supervisor.
Some of these cattle belong te
stockmen who do not have a graz
ing permit on the forest at any time
Mr.. Moir said.
II realize the fact that most
ranchers are carrying more stock
than usual on account of the low
prices offered during the past year
or two, and that the long feeding
season has resulted in critical
shortage of forage, he said. while ]
desire to do everything possible to
assist ranchers in providing feed for
their stock, yet in order to protect
the forest range for injury and do
justice to stockmen who have pur-
chased forest range and are keep
ing their stock at home until the
permitted season opens, must in
sist that all sock be kept off the
forest until the opening Of the
grazing season, and unpermitted
cattle and horses be kept off the
forest at all times"
Damages Grass Supply
He points out that. close cropping
Of the grass when it first appears
in the spring prevents the storage
of food by the plant and weakens it
to such an extent that it easily sue
cumbs to drouth conditions that
may be expected later in the season,
and that the mere presence of stock
on the range during the early spring
when the ground is saturated causes
extensive damage to vegetation from
trampling.
Notice is hereby given that, in
accordance with Regulation T-12,
Forest Service, United State De-
partment of Agriculture, on or after
May II, 1885, all cattle and horses
grazing in trespass on lands within
the Colville national forest will be
impounded and, in default of re-
demption by the owner, the animals
will be sold at public auction"

British.U. S. Polo
Duel Is Forgotten
Across-the-Sea Riders Haven't
Challenged American Team
I'm Four Years

New York, Feb. 9.-(P)-The inter-
national challenge cup, which is to
polo what the Americas cup is to
yacht racing and even more exclusive,
because it is limited to competition
between the United States and Eng
land, seems in q fair way to become
one Of the forgotten trophies of sport.
The Aristocratic birmingham club,
Britain's ruling power In polo, hasn't
challenged since 1890 and if it could
afford to do SO within the next year
or two. which is unlikely, it would
have hard time mastering sufficient
talent to give America even a brisk
workout.
Since the turn OF the century, the
longest lapse in British American
polo rivalry has been seven years. The
last hiatus of this length was due to
the World War, following which the
cup was in competition at three-year
intervals. America was victorious
four times in succession.
