In order to reach a satisfactory agreement In regard to the proposed prohibition of graxlng on the banka of streams supplying the various Irrigation systems in the west, a Joint Investigation will ' be conducted by the departments of the interior and agriculture. The irri gators and officials of the reclamation service desire to restrict grating on the watersheds which affect the Irrigation of farm lands, white the stockmen have vigorously opposed such restriction. In discussing the matter Secretary Wilson said: 'The protection of the watersheds and streams supplying Irrigation reservoirs depends primarily upon the possibility of giving full protection to all areas where graslng Is allowed. The fewer forest officials there are to attend to the graslng business on the national forests, the more land will have to be tolosed to grating. Past experience has proven that stock can be allowed to graze, under proper regulation, on areas from which It would be necessary to exclude It If teh range could not be property patrolled. "The Investigation will be conducted Jointly by officers of the reclamation service and the forestry service, who will meet the stockmen and irrigators on the ground this summer and determine what restrictions. If any, will serve the best Interests of the majority. Complaints are directed mainly against sheep graxlng, but as the allotments for graxlng have already been made for the coming season by the forestry service no change In the allotments will be made until next year."

Govenor Hughes today sent a special message to the legislature urging the necessity of passing the anti-rac- e track gambling bills. The message reiterates the governor's contention that gambling at th race tracks Is not carried on through evasion of the law, but because of defects In the law salt now exists. Senator Raines moved that that portion of tha niessagt relating to race tracks be laid upon the tahle with the Agnew-Ha- rt bills Senator Grady bitterly attacked the governor saying that the chief executive was turning Into a common cold and that he waa exceeding hta rights. Senator McCuiren charged that the message was a positive Insult to th senate. He startled everyone by saying that the senate would respectfully send the measage back to the governor Inviting him to attend to hla own business. Interest In tha proposed legislation today centers In the attitude of the r and Uru tenant Governor Chenier. The latter holds the key to tho situation.
