FOREST RESERVES EQUAL TWO STATES

States. and on June 30, 1886, an act
was approved creating the division of
forestry in the department of agricul-
ture. This division became the bureau
of forestry July l, 1901, and employ
ed nearly all-the trained foresters in
the United States. Its work compre-
hended almost every branch of forest
work, in nearly every state and terri
tory.
The necessity for federal control
over certain forested areas in order
to protect the national timber supply
and insure permanency to irrigation
interests in the west was responsible
for a brief section in the act of March
3. 1891, empowering the president to
establish forest reserves. President
Harrison on March 80 1891, first ex-
ercised this power in the creation of
the Yellowstone Park and timber land
reserve.
There are always local interests de-
pending upon the resources of forest
reserves, and various difficulties arose
through the lack of administrative
faculties. To alleviate this condition
the National Academy of Sciences was
requested to recommend a national
forest policy, which resulted in the
act of June 4, 1897, under which, with
various subsequent amendments, for
est reserves are now administered.
With the increasing area of re-
serve came a multiplicity of problems
in the use of the forest and range,
ona nOfrcfonfIxy iporao %
the technical services of the bureau of
forestry arose. but under the law
these could be only partly satisfied.
1t became apparent that to insure
the most satisfactory results the
branches of government forest work
should be consolidated and transferred
to that department where specially
trained men would have its direction.
This was urged upon congress by
the president and various executive
officers and resulted in the act of
February l, 1905. which transferred
to the secretary of agriculture juris-
diction over forest reserves except in
matters of surveying and passage OF
title.
Since July /, 1908. definite field ex-
aminations of approximately 1OS,0OO,-
900 acres in IL states and territories
of the west, including Alaska, have
been made by the bureau of forestry.
and by the expiration OF two years
more it is expected that these exam
nations will have extended to all re-
naming public forcsted areas.
The government has but one aim in
creating forest reserves-the best per
manent use of the land by the people
and the prevention of waste of any of
its resources.
Various factors have forced the gov
ernment to a recognition of the i'm
portance of the forest problem, but
none stands out so prominently as
the devastation and consequent losses
| by forest fires. Only under an eff
cient and constant patrol can it be
hoped to detect and extinguish forest
! fires in the beginning.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-07-14

In IS states and territories of the
west more than S1,000,000 acres of
land have been set apart as forest re-
serve. Some idea of the governments
activity in carrying out its policy may
be obtained when it is recalled that
this era now reserved under govern
ment control is nearly twice as large
as Missouri and more than one and
one-half times as large as the state
of Kansas
These forest reservations are rs in
number. Only one government has an
area i'm forest reserves which compares
with that of the United States. Eur
opean Russia has more than 297, ,00O,-
600 acres. or So per cent of her for
ested area.
The forests of the United States
cover 1900, 900 acres of land, more
than 80 per cent of the surface of the
country. The Importance of forestry
in this country as compared with
European countries may be grasped
when it is known that the forest area
of all Europe is 767.000.00O acres, or
only 10O,000,000 more than that OF
the United States alone. Thirty-one
per cent of the total forest area of
Europe is in government reserves. If
there were the same proportion in the
United States our forested area would
be more than 2O0,000,00O acres, and
these figures are rapidly being ap-
preached.
The work of the forestry bureau is
comparatively new and has proceeded
with such little attention from the
general public that the colossal fig
ures represented in area and in dol
lars and cents are only feebly COM
pretended.
1t is estimated that 10000, 900 acres
of forests are annually destroyed by
fires and that the loss is 5000, 900.
This estimate places the value of each
acre of forest at $3.50. With approx
imately 7O0,000,O00 acres of forest,
this republic has in its forested area
more than. $4,000, 100000.
1t is almost inconceivable that the
government should have waited until
1891 before >being aroused to the ne
| cessity of preserving this valuable
property
The forest reserve movement in this
country has arisen out of definite in
ternal needs, the Importance of which
has been fittingly expressed in the
words of President Roosevelt: 1.-THE
forest problem is, in many ways the
most vital internal problem in the
United States"
Although congress as early as 1899
provided for the purchase Of timber
lands to supply the needs of the navy.
and various subsequent acts made sim
liar provisions for setting apart for
est land for this and other specific
purposes, no attempt to secure COM
prehensive administration of forests
on the public domain was made until
1871, when bill was introduced in
the 42d congress. This bill failed
of passage.
In 1876 $4,000 was appropriated to
employ a competent man to investi-
gate timber conditions in the United

MONTE is GUILTY.
iccomplice of Tracy Gets Verdict
of Second Degree Murder.

Accomplice of Tracy Gets Verdict
of Second Degree Murder.
I'VE, the jury in the above entitled
cause, find the defendant, Charles
Monte, guilty of murder in the Sec
ond degree"
Such was the verdict returned into
the circuit court last evening by the
jury before which was tried the case
of the State of Oregon vs. Charles
Monte, who was accused of being one
of the parties who furnished the guns
to Tracy and Merrill with which the
desperate convicts killed Guard Frank
Ferrell while making their escape
from the Oregon penitentiary on the
lem Statesman.
The jurors had been locked up
since the noon hour of yesterday and
1t required 16 ballots before a verdict
could be reached. Upon being ad-
vised that the jury had agreed upon
verdict, Judge Burnett ordered
Sheriff Culver to bring the defendant
into court. Monte, who had occupied
the woman's cell in the county jail
during the afternoon and evening.
showed that he was deeply affected by
the uncertain moment as he walked
up the aisle in the court room and
took his seat in front of the bar.
When the verdict was read he sim
ply bowed his head and was led from
the court room by Sheriff Culver,
Guard Charlton of the penitentiary
and Bailiff Hickman. He was taken
to the sheriff's office and handcuffed
and later returned to his cell at the
penitentiary.
While waiting for the street car
Monte turned to Sheriff Culver and
said: How would you like to try me
for something had really done? You
may have that chance in the future"
This remarked is supposed to have an
intimation that Monte would take the
life of Convict Morris. who testified
against him, II he should ever find the
opportunity.
AS near as could be ascertained the
| 12 Jurors from the start agreed that
Monte was guilty, but held different
| opinions as to the degree Of the crime.
IT is said that at one time eight of the
12 men voted for murder In the first
degree, while four positively refused
| to entertain such a verdict.
On the sixteenth ballot, however,
the matter was compromised and
second degree verdict agreed upon. 1t
was intimated by some of the jurors
that under the instructions given by
Judge Burnett they finally agreed
that a verdict for murder in the sec
ond degree was the best they could
find.
