made in good faith for the purpose of utilizing such pri- 

 vate holdings only he will approve it and forward it, ac- 

 companied by all papers supporting it, to the Forester. 

 After the Forester approves the application due notice 

 will be given the supervisor, who may then issue a per- 

 mit allowing the stock to enter. 



The determination of all questions involving the title of land 

 is within the jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Interior, and 

 therefore it is necessary to ascertain from the records of the Gen- 

 eral Land Office that the title to the land claimed has passed from 

 the United States before the rights of the claimant can be recog- 

 nized. 



The privilege of grazing sheep and goats at large upon forest 

 reserve lands, in consideration of waiving the right to the exclu- 

 sive use of private lands, will be allowed only upon such reserves 

 or portions of reserves as are open to this kind of stock. 



Persons grazing stock under this regulation who fail to make 

 the special agreement allowing other stock to enter upon the land 

 will be required to keep their stock within the limits of the land 

 under their control either by herding or fencing. 



CROSSING PERMITS. 



REG. 64. Perfons wishing to drive stock across any 

 part of a forest reserve must make application to the 

 supervisor, either by letter or on the regular grazing 

 application form, for the privilege of grazing the stock 

 on the reserve en route, and must have a permit from the 

 supervisor before entering the reserve. The application 

 must state the number of stock to be driven across the 

 reserve, the date of starting, and period required for pas- 

 sage. Grazing must be confined to the limits and along 

 the route designated by the supervisor, and will only be 

 allowed for the period actually necessary for stock to cross 

 the reserve.
