FOREST RE-
SERVE SERVICE
Important Work Being
Done in the Interest of
Preservation Of Timber
on the Reserves---Val-
liable Information Be-
ing Gathered.

Alfred Gaskill, forest inspector
and connected with the editorial
staff of the forest service, arrived
here Tuesday night. He is here
for the purpose of making a study
of the growth of timber on the re-
serves and putting in motion plans
that will, in years to come, prove
of great benefit to the service in
the way of collecting valuable data
concerning the condition of timber
under different conditions of
growth.
Mr.. Gaskill will lay out plots in
the Medicine Bow forest reserve
for experimental purposes. These
plots will be accurately measured
and the size, number and condi-
ton of all the trees on the same
will be carefully noted for future
information. The timber on these
plots will be treated differently to
test it's growth under different
conditions. For example: On
some of the plots but 10 per cent.
of the timber will be cut; on other
60 or 70 per cent. will be removed
and then the growth of what re-
mains will be carefully noted
every five years.
By this mean it will be ascer-
tanned what per cent. of timber
can be cut that will produce the
greatest growth, in a given num-
Der of years, on what remains
standing.
Frederick Dunlap, forest assist
ant, who has been here for some
days, is also t.ere in the interest of
the forest service. 1t is his duty
to examine the dead timber on the
and to make estimates of
the quantity, value, ETC., of the
same, with the view of disposing
of the same to the best advantage.
It is the intention of the service to
dispose of this timber to saw mill
men, tie men and others at a price
that will bring it within the reach
of small dealers.
These plots will be under the
personal supervision of Clinton G.
Smith, technical assistant, who
will report his observations to the
Agricultural department.

LOCATED LOST BROTHER.
Mrs. G. G. Spauiding Finds Absent
One After Years Of Search.

from FRIDAY DAILY.
Mrs. c. G.sSpaulding was delighted on
Friday last to receive letter from her
brother, Mr.. Evan Berry, for whom she
has been searching for several years,
says The Mapleton Enterprise. Moth
ing had been heard from the missing

her brother. None of the other members
of the family had heard from him and
the last known of his whereabouts he
was teaching school at Mica, Washing
ton. Taking this as a pointer Mrs.
Spaulding visited The Enterprise office
and securing newspaper directory
wrote to newspapers in various parts of
the state describing her brother and ask
ing the papers to assist her in the
search. At times men were discovered
that answered to the description, in one
instance man mad dled III mining
camp who it was believed was her broth
er, and with forlorn hope Mrs. Spauld-
ing continued her efforts even while
mourning the brother as dead. Other adj
dresses were secured and in response to
Il letter written to an Idaho paper the
lost brother was located at the little
town of Mackay, in the Lost river coun-
try, Idaho, where he has a position in
a smelter.
Mr.. Berry was well known in this To-
cality, being brother of H. 4. Berry,

NEW ROADMAKING SYSTEM.
1t Was Advocated BY L. a. Sweet It
Fairmont Recently.
Mention this paper.
From Fridays Daily.

At the recent farmers institute held at
Waterville Mr. L. A. Sweet of Fair
mont made a short talk on the new
bethods of handling road work, says The
Wells Advocate. The same being known
as the town system. Mr. Sweet stat
ed that his township had adopted that
system, that its workings were high
ly satisfactory and the improvement in
the highways was great.
1t is provided by the laws of Minne-
sofa that when certain number of vot
ers of any township petition the town
clerk to do so he shall cause to be
printed on the ballots a demand for the
township system, the voter to adopt or
reject the measure at the annual meet
ing. There were put in circulation sew
eral petitions in Watervile township
and the matter came before the voter
at the late election. 1t is with regard to
this proposed change / wish to speak
First: The road districts are abolish
ed and road Overseers of said districts
are not elected, the entire supervision
of all road work in the township being
under control of the town board, they
hire competent superintendent or fore
man. who shall have charge of all the
roads and who shall devote all his time
or as much at least as is necessary to
keep them in the best possible condi
ton; he to hire such help as needed, or
the funds will permit. Under this sys-
all work done on the roads is paid for
with cash. That the present method of
working out tax is largely a farce few
people will deny and that our roads are
simply streaks of mud where teams wal
low along as best they can at many
times during the year is a fact, and
that they could be vastly improved with
the same amount of taxes expended on
them under contract on cash by an able
road superintendent will hardly be di
puted The old system is a hundred
years behind the times, and patch work
at the best. Good roads add five dol
lars an acre to the value of all land
in the township. Any farmer can work
on road, getting his pay in cash for
same, if he has the time and desires to
do So Progress is the order of the times
