RESERVE is ENLARGED
Increased by $1,000 Acres Under an
Order by the Interior Depart
ment Yesterday.

Washington. ID. G.. Aug. Fifty
thousand. six hundred acres have been
added to the Payson forest reserve in
Utah. The new area covers the north
ern end OF the Sanpiteh mountains, 10
cany known as West mountains lying
south of Salt Creek Pass. which divides
the Sanpitch range from the Mount
NebO range. Lands along the valley
of this pass are mostly alienated. The
Sanpete Valley railway ana a wagon
road from Sanpete valley TO Jua6 val
ley both cross the mountains at this
point. and the pass is also the natural
driveway for sheep coming in from
winter range on the desert and bound
for the summer range in the noun
tainS on the east.
In establishing this addition 10 the
reserve. il was. accordingly. thought
well to leave the pass open ,by leaving
a gap Of about mile in width between
the reserve 5s originally established
and this addition. The portion of the
Sanpitch mountains included in this
addition, while containing but little
land that can be clasSed as aSricultu-
raj, constitutes the watershed of va
riOus streams important 10 the irriSa-
ton Of farming lands below. The OBJ
ject in reserving this tract is TO protect
this stream flow and also to insure the
full and proper use of all the forest
resources in that locality. including
grazing The total acreage Of the re-
serve is now 16I $50 acres.

While Salt Lake City has none Of
