Thompson Bion Canyon Hall Park June 4, 1931 Interview with forest supervisors office in Cedar City. The supervisor was out of the huar & interviewed seemed as "cool" that I did not learn his name. 60,000 sheep graze on the head waters of the Virgin River. Land there is about $10.00 per acre, or the price of a ewe. This would put the investment in this critical area at $1,200,000. approximately. The land is all privately owned. About 35 individually owned ranges are in the area. Cougar are worse now than before; it is thought that the road starting down in Zion has driven them into the back country. The Biological survey assists in the control of cougar. The ranchers poison dead horses in the fall & distribute them. They gain to get some cougar this way. Not many deer are in the region. But more sheep are grazed than ever before. It rained all day on Cedar Mt. as I drove over from Bryce. Many marmots were out.
