He stated that if the public land states are ever to come to their own and the burden of taxation relieved permanently, something must be done to utilize the waste lands. For example, he cited, the fact that in this country a very large portion was waste land, and the big thing was to be able to use this area to a better advantage, so that more sheep and cattie could be grazed on it. He snggested that if the government would handle it as they now do the Forest Reserve, and charge a tee for grazing, and in addition drill wells to provide' water tor watering purposes, that in this way would eliminate certain areas near water holes being tramped out, and would be beneficial to the sheep. In Arizona and Montana,, some experiments along this line have been tried, and'representatives from these states report that wells have been driven to a depth of. one thousand feet and water was being pumped from them successfully for the watering of stock, the speaker stated. S. E. Forrest, of the inter-cit- y committee, reported that they had written a letter to the Lions club of Mt, Pleasant, in regard to the road sign which was removed from he road leading to 'Sanpete county. The letter states that the Nephi Kiwanis club was in sympathy with Sanpete county, and wanted to see them get their just portion of tourist with travel, and would them in their efforts to get tbe traveling public to go through their country.
