MORE CATTLE UPON THE RANOE3 Permlt ret era for la of Pablle Land Being Maintain Penal ties for Violation Are Exacted, WASHINGTON, Aug. U-The annual re port of grazing on the national forest, for the fiscal years IK and 1907. which has Just been completed, shows that (.(ST.DXS sheep and goats and l.tno.loS horses and cattle graced under permit on the ranges. The previous year's totals were, sheep and gnats, 4,261.100, and horse, and cattle. 1.0J6.14. The total receipts (mm graslng permit, for the year were S57.85.M. For the preceding year the amount was $MI.- During the year Just closed the report shows that 23,462 application, for pasture were approved, and of these applicant. 21,788 paid the fee. and were granted per mit.. That wa. 91 per cent. Last year there ' were 18,040 application, and 16,S!4 permits, or 93 per cent. The fact that the percentage of permit, was the same In both years tend, to' show that the method of transacting the business Is systematic and that great fluctuations need not be expected. The Increase In the number of 'stock on the ranges for this year Is due almost wholly to the Increased area of the range and does not mean that the pastures are crowded more this year than last. The total area of the forests Is far greater this year than last, and a greater number of stock can b. accommodated without an Increase per acre. The area of the na tional forests of the t'nlted State and Alaska amounts to $50,000,000. but stock ta not pastured on all of the forests, in some regions cattle and horse, predom inate; in others, sheep and goats. Pnrka Are Valuable. Th. natural conditions of the land throughout the mountains of the western state are such that the boundaries of the national forests of necessity Include many open ' par Irs, chiefly valuable for grating. The Importance of the stock Industry demands that these ranges be fully and fairly utilised In the Interests of th. com munities which depend upon It. The graslng regulations of the forest service are In tended to meet the demand with the utmost care, so as to assure the people of the west the continued use and constant Improve ment of the national forest range. Stockmen who wloh to make use of the range apply for permits. They state the kind of stock they have, the quantity and location of the range they want, and the officers In charge make allotments, appor tioning the available pasture among the ap plicant, on a. equitable a basis as practi cable. Many stockmen living on the borders of forests have range of their own, but to reach It with stock It 1. frequently neces sary, or convenient, to drive across por tions of the forests. To do this they are required to obtain a permit, but no charge Is made for It. This year 833 such permits were granted, and 88,807 horses and cattle and 2,0vl,810 sheep and goats crossed. Last year 259 permit, of th.t kind were Issued and 12.626 horses and cattle and 692,540 sheep crossed. Regulations on Trespass. Sometime, stockmen who live near for est., oc have stock near them, allow their stock to drift across the line. If this 1i done c.relessly, negligently or wilfully.' it I. considered trespass, ftnd th. offender Is subject to a fine, and may also be liable to pay damages. The number of trespan. cases this year was 1S3, and 163 of these settled without going to court, that Is. they paid the amount agreed upon as Just. The re maining fifteen had not yet settled at the close of the fiscal year, but It Is believed that most of them will do as the others have done. There l little disposition to go to law or make trouble over such matters. The total damages collected for trespass for the year was 15.576. Another kind of permit Is Issued In cer tain cases. Sometimes a man owns land in side a forest, or partly surrounded by It. and rather than fence It to keep his stock In, he sign, an agreement that If his stock la allowed to erase In the forest other stock In the forest may grare on his land. Ar rangements of that kind are frequent and are often very convenient and satisfactory. He slmDly swaps his r.nge for an equal amount of graalng outside his line., and It I. Jill used in common. This year 615 such permit, were Issued, for 15,624 horses and cattle and 182,622 sheep and goats. "Last year there were 244 similar permit, and th. stock affected consisted of 18,83 horses and cattle and 118.400 sheep and goats. The business relations between stocKmen and forest officer, throughout the entlr. grazing region have been pleasant and sat isfactory. No eertou. trouble or misunder standing occurred anywhere during the year. BUMPER MEN CAUSE TROUBLE Police at Mitchell Ht t'p Desperate Characters Anion? Them. MITCH ELI S. P..
