BAB3ITT: A bond of about 1,000 head of sheep can 

 be watched by one nan without bein-^ pushed through the 

 country. They have a number of cheep scattered out and if a 

 nan enly had as many sheep as ho could watch end not tranplo 

 over so much ground, which Is the real cruse of damage to 

 reproduction, there would be no injury to the Forost or the 

 ren^e. 



Range Boundaries 



IVEY: I think in a great many cases the marl-ring 

 ran-re boundaries would bo advisable. In my district I hn-ye 

 never had any trouble. All the permittees Irnow the country 

 aa well as I do and I havo never had any trouble with thorn. 



T7ILS01J: My experience has been that we have only 

 had trouble in a very few cases. The majority of the "razors 

 have run on the oc.no or approximately the same rcn^e year 

 after ;*ear. ",'e have changed the boundaries on the map a 

 little but it oeoms to me that If tv:o fellows are grazing on 

 the same rango and they are satisfied, end as lon.-j as they 

 food it to their ovm satisfaction, there are very for: cases 

 where it is necessary to marl: it out. I had one man on the 

 east end of my district whore there was trouble end wo {jot 

 the parties together and ran out tho ran.^e lines and mr.r'.:od 

 them. Aside fron thnt I do not ^aior of any serious trouble 

 we have had in the last four seasons. Thore has boon a little 

 trouble when a new -grazer came in, of. course, and a little 

 adjustment was nocescery on our pert. I thin': in time to 

 cone it would be a very good plan to marl: out the boundaries 

 for the satisfaction of forest Officers, end I bolieve this 

 oould be done when the rcn^o reconnai seance is done. 



MCiULLAN: In ny country tho renjo boundaries are 

 natural divisions, ridges and streams. In"a good many places 

 it would be hard to rjet to tho boundary to mar!: it. A -preat 



many of the ridges ere so stoo? that stool: will not stray off 

 tho range. There are places, however, where it would be well 

 to heve the boundary marked. I thin> that all the patented 

 land in the southern end of my district should have the 

 boundaries run out end mar>ed. It seems as though the 

 ranges as a whole ere satisfactory the ray thoy strand since 

 the natural boundaries are better than trying to adhere 

 to the lo^al subdivisions. 



BA33ITT: There are a few pieces that ran~e 

 boundaries should be marked. Thore are c. few plrcos in 

 nearly every range where thoro must be a division r.ade on 

 account of patented land and only in such casos do I thin!: 

 it necessary.
