GRAZING INJURI
OUS TO FORESTS
Department Will Withdraw Permits
Given to Stockmen on the Cas
cade Reserve.
Washington, Sept. 2. The secretary
of the interior has canceled the sixty
eight permits that have been granted
sheepmen to graze within the Rainier
forest reservation, Washington, and
hereafter all Eheep will be excluded from
the reservation. The Bixty-eight pei
ciita represent 260,000 sheep now on the
reservation. In making hia exclusion
order, the secretary said : "The granting
of eucIi permita was not in conformity,
but rattier interfered with the objects,
for which forest reservations are created."
For this reason he declined to sanction
such permits. It was mainly through
the instrumentality of Commissioner
Hermann that these permits were
granted in the first place, they coming
trom the general land ofllcs. Hermann
has been of the opinion that sheep-grazing
in the open areas of forest reserva
tion waa not injurious to tie forests, but
special agents to tho interior depart
ment have made extensive investigations
and reported to the contrary.
Secretary Wilson, of the agricultural
department, strenuously opposed sheep
grazing on reservations, and in the face
of such opposition the sheep will have
to go. This decision of Secretary Hitch
cock is but a precedent, and it will be
onlv a matter of time before sheep are
excluded from all the forest reserves in
the country, including the great Cascade
reserve in Oregon. The secretary is con
vinced that sheep kill the young growth
of trees, ehrubs and E'ass, and therefore
will exclude them.
