AMENDMENT NO. 115 INSTRUCTIONS. 



JANUARY 31, 1912. 



Grazing. Page 45 of the Instructions is hereby amended by the 

 addition of the following paragraph: 



New settlers upon unimproved lands in either Government or pri- 

 vate ownership may be granted temporary grazing privileges which 

 will be contingent upon continued residence upon the lands, improve- 

 ment, and compliance with the United States land laws or contract 

 agreements, and will not become permanent until after three years' 

 use of the range. They may, in the discretion of the supervisor, be 

 limited in their initial use of the range to not more than one-half of 

 the number of stock allowed established bona fide class A new appli- 

 cants, with the understanding that they will receive annual increases 

 which, at the end of the three-year temporary period, will allow them 

 to graze the same number of stock as other class A new applicants. 

 Subsequent to the expiration of the three-year temporary period their 

 status will be the same as that of other class A new applicants.
