The speaker stated that public lands Ij the eleven Western states was one of the most important things up for discussion at the present time. 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 tact that in this country a very large por tion was waste land, and the big thing was to be able to use this large area to a better advantage, so that more sheep and cattle could be grazed on it. He suggested that if tho government would handle it as they now do the Forest Reserve, and charge a fee for grazing, and in ad dition drill wells to provide water for watering purposes, that in this way would eliminate certain area 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 water ing 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 Kiwith wanis club was in sympathy Sanpete county, and wanted to see them get their just portion of tourist with travel, and would them in their efforts to get the traveling public to go through their (An address delivered by Ralph Edmunds of Idaho Falls, Idaho, be- borof any kind they went about the fore the Idaho Real Estate associa seemingly impossible task of buildtion at their convention in Pocatello, inga harbor where the Creator had Idaho, November 8th, 1926.) decreed that none should be.
