GREAT ADDITION MADE
TO NATIONAL FORESTS
President Roosevelt Signs Proclama-
ton adding rich area to the Cali
fornia Reserve.

Washington, Feb. 14-The presi-
dent has just signed a proclamation
creating additions in the Trinity Nat
lonal forest, California, amounting to
35O,471 acres. The additions to the
forest are contiguous tracts of tim
ber land lying for the most part in
Humbolt and Trinity counties, with
smaller areas in Shasta and Tehama
counties. This new land brings the
total area of the Trinity Forest up
to nearly 100000 acres.
Valuable forest of yellow and SUI
gar pine, incense cedar and a few
small stands of redwood included in
the additions are estimated to con-
tain more than Two and quarter
billion board feet of timber. The
market value of this timber is $4,-
100000. These forests have been
neglected by lumber interests up to
the present time because it was mo e
profitable to exploit the valuable
and more accessible redwood forests
lying farther west.
These stands which have been put
in the Trinity Forests constitute
some of the most valuable virgin
timber lying outside of the National
Forests and the proclamation putting
them under forest management will
insure them against destruction and
at the same time make them produce
a permanent supply of timber for the
development of the rich mines in this
section and to uses of the settlers.
There are various agricultural and
dairying communities within and
around the forests and the protection
OF the forested slopes will insure a
steady and abundant supply of water.
There are many opportunities for
the development of light power from
the numerous streams which have
their source in this region. An ad-
ded advantage coming from the prop
er management of the forest will be
the protection of the drainage basin
of Upper Mad river, and the prob
able checking of floods, which are
frequent because of the deforested
watershed.
Numerous small parks or "glades"
afford excellent grazing for stock,
ana upon this local residents are
largely dependent. Large numbers
OF stock enter this country for sum-
mer grazing, coming from distant
points, hence, in order to protect the
settlers, it is important that grazing
should be properly regulated, both
with view to the best development
OF the range, and the proper protec-
ton of the watershed.
These additions will be put under
administration Immediately, with Su-
pervisor F. H. Hafiey in charge. The
headquarters of the Trinity Forest is
at Weaverville.

Scott and Raynor, who have two

NO DISCRIMINATION AGAINST
COLORADO ON SUMMER RATES
The Various Railroads Expect to
Make a Rate of at Least $4,000
From Chicago and $4,000
From st. Louis.

There will We no discrimination
against Colorado during the coming
summer by the railroads in the way
of passenger rates. While final ac-
ton has not yet been taken it has
been practically decided that the rate
to Colorado common points for the
tourist business and to the national
Democratic convention will not be
advanced but will be about the same
as last year. The round trip from
Chicago will not go over $40 and the
rate from st. Louis will be about
s25.
A number of passenger men were
in Denver yesterday, returning from
the meeting of the Transcontinental
Passenger association which was
Cal. Among these are C. A. Cairns,
general passenger agent of the Chi
cago & Northwestern; George A.
MacRae, assistant general passenger
agent of the Chicago. St. Paul, Min
neapolis & Omaha; e. l.. Ober, gem
eral freight agent of the same road,
and others.
''It was decided to postpone final
action on Western rates for about
two weeks. when they will all be
taken up at the same time in Chi
cago and finally disposed off, said
Mr.. Cairns. "The sentiment seems
to be in favor of making the rates
the same as last year and while it
may be expressed differently on ac-
count of the 2-cent rates in existence
in Eastern states, the cost of tickets
will not show any material differ
ence. / do not think it has been
decided yet whether special rates to
the convention will be put into eff
feet or general tourist rates which
will include the period in which the
convention will be held.
THE tourist business to Colorado
is growing steadily each year and
the Eastern roads expect 1t to de-
velop into wonderful proportions.
They are beginning to realize the i'm
portance of this traffic and they real
ize the Importance of this traffic and
they will do all they can to encour-
age it,
Mr.. Cairns stated that only routine
matters were transacted at the meet
ing of the Trancontinental associa-
tion after the decision to postpone
action on Colorado rates until the
general meeting in Chicago, which
will be attended by the members of
the Western Passenger association.

TO BUILD GREAT HIGHWAY
FROM The PARK TO CANON
Many Prominent Coloradoans and
Citizens of Other States Form a
Most Worthy Organization.

With the construction of a broad
highway from the Yellowstone Ma
tional park to the Grand Canon of
the Colorado river in Arizona as
its object, the Rocky Mountain High
way association was formed yes
terday noon at Traffic Club. The
organization was fathered by some
of the leading real estate men of
Denver and has behind it the active
interest of prominent men in Color
ado, Utah, Wyoming and Arizona.
The proposed highway which it is
hoped to have the federal govern
ment pay for by appropriation, will
be about 1000 miles long and will
cost s10,O0O,00O.
the organization will proceed
along lines suggested by Charles A.
johnson of Lyons & Johnson at a
recent luncheon of the real estate
exchange, wherein he suggested that
the government might charge toll
fees and make hotels pay their con-
cessions until the amount of their ap-
preparations had been received
At meeting in Denver the follow
ing officers were elected: President
William ]. Palmer; first vice-presi-
dent, Charles A. Johnson; second
vice president, Thomas F. Walsh;
third vice-president, Alva Adams;
treasurer, Harold Kountze.
The scheme has long been a dream
of Thomas F. Walsh, and he has ad-
vocated something of the sort In
times past. The new plan is more
protentious than Mr.. Walsh's and
contemplates road running from
the Yellowstone park through the
Navajo reservation and the cliff
dwellers' ruins In Colorado, into the
Grand Canon of the Colorado river
in Arizona.
