TUESDAY, FEUHUAKY 3, 1803. TO REMOVE FENCES CROOK COUNTY STOCKMEN MUST REMOVE INCLOSURES. Large Tracts of Military Road LantJ Fenced Some of the Pastures Do Not Furnish Good Grass, But Were Easily Fenced. Prlnovlllo, Ore., Keb., 3. The order of the removal of fences from govern ment land Is causing considerable in dlguatlon In the Eastern part of thc county. Tho majority of the stock men blame W. W. Brown for it. As near as can be learned Urown could havo saved himself and many other stockmen rt largo amount of money as well as pasturage by complying with the first order from,1 the interior department, but he was not satisfied to let well enough alone nnd so in formed the government agent that In? had a lot more land fenced, and In consequence he was ordered to take It all down. This order raised Brown's ire, and he began complaining of his neighbors, and the result will be tho opening of perhaps 30,000 to 40,000 ncres of government land that has leen fenced up. The greatest Joss vill fall upen -Mr. Brown, who will jequired to remove 100 to 200 miles of fence. Open Large Range. As a great deal of this fencing ha been done by cattlemen, it will be Been that they will bo the losers, and It will leave a lot of range open to the public that will be fought for by the sheep that come in from outsido points every summer. Should this bo the case, there is a strong probability that a large number of Brown's sheep will go the way of others that have come in the way of the cattlemen of that section and, as Brown has largo rands of sheep that will be ranged In close proximity to a great deal of the land that has been thrown open, nnd is looked upon by the cattle own ers as the cause of the opening of the fences, he will naturally be the object of their vengeance. Much Road Land Leased, Much of tho land that has been un der fence is but poor pasturage at best, but. It being easier fenced than left out3ide, many of the stockmen have inclosed it with theh own prem ises. One reason that so much of the land In this county has been Inclosed is that a large area of "road land" fcas been leased by tho stockmen, and, J it being In alternate sections, there has been a tendency to Inclose all tho land within the boundaries of the read so as to form a square or other solid body of land thus taking a much less amount of fencing that would otherwise be required. While these who have done so arc fully awaro that they were inclosing government land to which they had no right they have never in any way opposed any one In setting within their incl03ures who desired to take a homestead or other claljn. In this way they Lave differed widely from the cattle barons of Northern Calif ornia and Nevada, where it was as much as a man's life was worth to attempt to take a homestead inside of one of the great Incisures with out first promising to sell to the cat tleman who had tho land under fence.
