of marketing horses was comparatively

was a good demand for all kinds OF
horses. Even the horse that had lit

him could be sold for street car work.
But today the market Is largely closed
for horses Of this type, and, IL they be
sold at all, It must be at rate far be-

the humid climate encourages such a

subject Of forest growth and sheep

Oregon, prepared by Frederick v. Co
vile. Discussing the question OF for
est fires in the Cascade reserve. IL SAYS
those OF the present period are by no
means confined to the sheep grazing
areas. Parts of the southern Cascades.
In which sheep have never grazed,
have been found to be riddled by fires
and In general forest fires increase I'm
the reserved region proportionately to
the increase OF human occupancy of
all classes. II Is clear as a result of
careful inquiry, the pamphlet says,
that at the present time most sheep
herders and packers are extremely
careful not to allow their camp fires
to spread and not to set fire intention-
ally, though 1t is unquestionabIy true
that In the early days of sheep raising
there was widespread belief among
sheep men that burning Of the forest
was positive benefit to the industry.
