THE NATIONAL FORESTS.

How They Serve the Publie-The "Use
Book" Gives the Regulations and In
struetions Under Which They are Man
aged.
THE Use Of the National Forests"
a publication just printed by the depart
ment Of agriculture, is n brief. clear man
ual for public information as to the for
est policy Of the national government
II is too true, as the short preface to
the public says, that many people do not
know what national forests are. Others
may have heard much about them, but
have no idea Of their true purpose and
use 1t is the object OF this publication
TO explain just what the national forests
mean, what they are for and how to use
them.
In the first place it is explained how
the forests are created and how their
boundaries are drawn. Next. their di-
rect use and value are shown from the
point Of view Of the homeseeker, the
prospector and miner, the user Of tim
Der, the user Of the range, the user Of
water, and other users Of the forest re-
sources. Third, It is shown how the
forests are intended for use, for the pro-
duction Of disable products, and for the
establishment and maintenance Of homes;
how on all Of them the timber Is protec-
ted from fire, the waterfowl is kept
steady. the forage on the range is in
creased and guarded from abuse; and
| how, in addition. they serve as great
public Fairgrounds and as breeding places
and refugees for game Finally, the man
agement Of the national forests is des-
| cribed
Here it is that the great usefulness Of
| the forests Is brought out most clearly
and strikingly; for the forests are man
| aged by the people in their own inter-
! ests, and every means is used to meet
| the desires and want Of all forst users
| half way by dealing with them in the
main directly on the ground and in all
! cases with the utmost practicable dis
| patch and freedom from red tape.
In a word, the special interest Of this
manual lies in its showing that the for
est policy OF the government, both in prin-
| ciple and in practice is for the benefit
Of eve-y citizen equally. There is still
a tendency to think Of the national for
ests preserves" closed to use, and
to leave the public lands exposed to I'M
| regulated Individual exploitation. Where
these misapprehensions still prevail The
Use Of the National Forests" will go far
to correct them.
The book Is written by Frederick E
| Olmsted. whose intimate knowledge OF
| conditions in the West and the policy
under which the national forests are
managed especially fits him TO deal witt
