F0BE3T RESERVE
Allotment of Territory by
the Stockmen.
COMMITTEES WORK HARD
Only two Allotments to be Made
Thli Year.
The meeting of Btockmen in
terested in the Heppner Forest
Reserve, held in Heppner last
week, came to a close last Satur
day evening after a Btrenuous
week's work.
p;verything was Bettled as well
as could have been expected under
the circumstances.
While a number of etockmen
are not entirely satisfied with the
results of the meeting, still a great
many are inclined to believe that
ultimately the reserve policy will
be for the best.
Anyhow, the stockmen in gen
eral have been impressed with the
objecis of the meeting.
Now, that the reserve has been
created, conditions that are differ
out from former times are here and
uiust be confronted.
In order to establish the forest
reserve policy, a1 meeting was ab
solutely necessary in order lor the
men in charge of the forestry de
partment to get at the actual facts
in determining a solution as to
the equitable adjustment of the
questions involved.
Who could be better acquainted
with the facts than the stockmen
themselves?
The main question was: Who
was really entitled to graze in the
Heppner forest reserve? The
Gazette hopes that this has been
settled right.
The next question was the
allotment of the range privileges.
In this the representatives of the
stockmen in their committees have
6poken bs published below:
The Heppner forest reserve con
tains 292,176 acres. For this
amount of public range there are
approximately 250 stockmen ask
ing for grazing or trail privileges.
For grazing purposes alone per
mits were asked for 122,185 sheep,
19,215 being rejected; 222 horses
were rejected out of the applica
tions for 831; permits for 13,275
cattle were asked for; out of this
uumber 11,259 were approved.
With the exception of John
Madden and the Butte Creek Land
& Livestock Co., no allotments
will be made this year. The two
allotments w ill be made owing to
the fact tLat the parties are now
running sheep within the limits of
the Lone Rock cattle range.
Krporta of Committees.
A serious problem and a heavy
burden of the work in arriving at
conclusions and results rested up
on the members of the different
committees appointed by both the
bheop End cattle inteiests.
The fact is apparent that the
seutiment of fairness and a desire
to furnish a report that would be
as free from favoritism as possible
was uppermost in the minds of the
men in charge of the committee
work.
The question of territory allot
ment coming under what is the
start of a system which is entirely
new and different from the condi
tions which have prevailed for
many years was certainly difficult
to handle.;
The committeemen worked hard
and exhibited patience indeed in
their deliberations.
