feet 81 Montana counties, accord
ing to A. ]. Borton, state executive

and fed on the ranching unit to range
livestock owned by the operator"
Three exceptions to this definition
are: land that normally grows less than
three-fourths tons of hay per acre, land
that is not part of a ranch engaged in
raising range livestock and land that
has once been titled and later seeded
to domesticated grass and legumes.
Land, however, where domesticated
grasses or legumes have established
themselves on native sod may be
clasSed as mountain meadowland.
The allowance for practices on noun
tain meadowland is IS cents an acre.
Payment at regular rates can be earned
on such land for comforting, artificial

er dams and terraces.

the old Indian law resembles modern
American law. For instance, the Grande

breach of promise to wed and another

written by "the Grande Ronde Indian
legislature" at various meetings held
