ROUTE MARCH
N.S.W. GRAZIERS ORGANISING AIOREE, N.S.W., Oct. 12. Woengnldon and Aluugindi graziers are discussing arrangements for a route march in connection with the meeting of graziers to bo held at Alorce shortly, and at which a number of prominent members of Parliament will be present. Alost of the smallor settlers who roside near the Queensland border have been so badly hit by the fall in wool prices that they are unable to afford petrol, tyros, or registration for thoir ears, while many are forced to sell a few sheep or cattle from time to time to buy the necessities of life. It is proposed that the men should make their way to Alorce on horseback and in buggies, while others intend to tramp along tho roads .with swags. A big camp will be formed in Alorce, as a number of graziers from all over tho north-west have stated that they cannot afford railway fares and hotel accommodation. The majority of the graziers regard the proposal favorably, as it is felt that such n demonstration would show the rest of tho State what disabilities pastoralists aro suffering by the present position of the wool market.
