of that section. As a matter of
fact, the man had acquired govern
ment title to most of his land. In
fear, this citizen has been keeping
his mouth loosed. This i« only one

“One of the best things the state
could do, according to my way of
thinking, would be to make laws
prohibiting large bands of sheep
from making the overland foraging
trip to California. With this prac
tice stopped, I belieye the local peo
