Kenneth Keeling and family are
3ad to be back in Heppner after
spending an extended week-end in
Seattle. Their opinion of Seattle is
that every one is either waiting in
line .or rushing somewhere to wait
in line.
Fence post sales have been made

Louis Gilliam's maintenance crew
has completed the second of two
fenced plots. The first was a pole
fenee high enough to keep out both
game and stock and the second is
a wire fence that will exclude stock
from the plot but is low enough
so that deer and elk will not be kept
owt The purpose of the two plots
is to study over a period of years
the effects of grazing by both game
animals and sheep and cattle and
the after effect of grazing by deer
and elk only. The information gain
ed in the experiment will be used
to help plan the range management
in the future.
The old Skookum guard station
pasture fence has .been torn down
and the wire rolled up. The wire
is to be used later in the summer
to fence the forest boundary in the
vicinity of Gilman flat.

mittees turned out as follows: W.
P. Brisbois 25 head; Capon Bros

dition RhoBleakman, Orval Wyland
and Lester McKinney took non-
use on their permits.
National forest grazing regulations
allow the permittees io take from
one to three years non-use privi
eges depending on the reason for
the request. This privilege makes
for flexibility in a stockman's per
mit to graze on the forest and gives
him a chance to make economic
adjustments, culling of his herd,
protection in case of sickness, etc.
In turning cattle on the forest
range the forest service does not
count stock less than six month
old. Most of the permittees on the
Tamarack - Monument range turn
out cows and calves. This year the
grazing fees on the forest are 35c
per head per month. In addition to
the forest fee it cost the stockmen
35c per head per month to pay the
riders wages, cost of sat, fencing,
