cording to reports received by
the council, at least IS cattto
ranged In the canyon through­
out the winter, protected from
the heavy snows of the higher
ranges.
A few weeks ago. the council
took steps toward keeping the
cattle out, and at that time it
was suggested that a man be
planed In the canyon, to patrol
the entire water shed of A th-
land creek. In an effort to keep
out these cattle. - However, 1 m
action was taken on thia sug­
gestion.
Although there • is a fence at
the lower end of the canyon,
with a locked gate, forever keep­
ing Ashland people out of the
canyon, the aides and upper end
of the canyon are unprotected.
Cattle, ranging on the higher
levels,* are continually drifting
Into the canyon and It la a eon-
tiuuous fight to keep them out.
Much of the laud la the can­
yon Is owned by the government,
and, according to Congressman
W. C. Hawley, who was In Ash­
land a few days ago, the 'gov­
ernment will not cooperate with
the city In fencing in the entire
canyon. The government has of-
fered this land for sale to tbe
city at 22.50 per acre.
It may be. according to Mayor
Johnson, that it w ill be necessary
for the city to put a man on
patrol throughout the year, la
order to keep the cattle o«t.
" I f any of the cattle get on land
owned by the city, they w ill be
impounded,"
Mayor
Johnson
stated this morning.
However,
he added that he did not know
whether the city could legally
Impound the cattle which are
not ranging on city property In
the canyon.
" I t la a shame that the gov­
ernment has placed a fence
across the canyon, barring Ash­
land people from enjoying the
beauties of the canyon, but still,
these same Ashland cltlien's cat­
tle are allowed to range through
the watershed.” Johnson said.
