zE TIE,
The Meeker herald., 1894-03-17

i wish TO enter a protest against so much
cutting OF government timber in the noun
tains to be used for logs, railroad tics
and poles. The railroad companies claim the
right TO cut ties, but | cannot see why they
should not pay for the timber. But the bust
ness at present Is nothing compared with
what 1t was three years ago, when there were
twenty-five saw mills within radius OF as
many miles of Florrlsant All the best tim
Der was cut out and now the few remaining
mills are cutting the culls, taking everything
that will make n PA scantllng. There Is n
law against this, but 1t is not enforced.
There was al Inspector IN this neighborhood
mills, but they commenced operations again
n few days afterwards. / have never heard
of any one having been prosecuted and Won
der why IL is.
l think this wlllful destruction of forests
should be stopped believe IL has an effect
on tho rainfall, as trees prevent evaporation
md retain moisture. Forest determination
has au effect also on the springs. / know
that the rainfall In my locality has decreased
nearly onc-half as compared with n Few years
ngo and the springs are far less strong.
Where We cannot irrigatc and have to depend
on the rainfall this becomes serious ques-
ton. There are large quantities of govern
ment land in this nclghborhood which six
years ago would have made good ranches.
No one took them because we had no market,
but now We have good market at Cripple
Creek. Potato ranches are in demand, as
well rs those FOR hay and garden truck.
But II man takes n ranch now he can
scarcely get enough timber from quarter
section with which 10 fence and improve 1t.
The question Is, who should have the benefit
