and will occur if forest lands are not
reserved and managed by the govern
ment. In these states there are mil
lions OF acres of lands now barren and
unproductive of any wealth, which, If
they had been reserved and cut over
under the direction of the government,
would now be producing several hun
dred million feet of lumber annually.
The southern states-Kentucky, Ten
nessee. Georgia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia
are today petitiOning congress to ere
ate a reserve of four million acres COW
ering the Appalachian mountains,
merely 10 protect the valley lands
which every year suffer TO the extent
of upwards of million dollars from
destructive floods. The floods which
last spring did so much damage 10
Pittsburg and Cincinnati were caused
without any possibility of doubt by
the denudation of the mountains by
numbering, fire and clearing steep land
for farms.
The Manti Forest.
While the conditions which exist in
the east are hardly applicable here,
might say that the Manti forest in San
pete county was created at the instance
of the town of Manti, which had suf-
fered severe damage from the floods
in Manti canyon. These floods resulted
frem thunder storms in summer and
not from melting of snow in spring.
The policy may be against the prinei- |
pies and traditions of our government, |
but this to me appears minor point |
when the Importance of protecting our /
limited supply of timber and our water |
supply, which is so valuable in the arid |
region, is considered. Almost every one |
agrees that some sort of protection is |
necessary. and the only question is how /
it can best be done.
One method suggested is for the ma
tiOnal forests TO make grant to the |
states of all It's timbered and mountain |
lands in need of protection. The OBJ |
jections to this scheme-and they come |
from western men-are that, owing to |
the frequency and ease with which state |
administrations change, it would be |
practically impossible TO maintain a
definite policy in the administration of |
these forests. The disastrous experience |
of most of the western states in the adj |
ministration of their own land is an
indication of the objections TO admins |
tration of the forests by the states
Matter of Longevity.
II is claimed by many that if the for
est lands are allowed to pass into prl- |
vate ownership, which would mean con-
troll by lumbermen and stockmen. the /
interests of the community and state
would be sufficiently protected by the /
selfish interest of the owners, the idea |
being that the owner would be just as
anxious as the government 10 keep his I
property in the highest state of produc- |
tiveness.
This would be true if a man lived as
long as the government. but he does |
not, and it is apparent that sooner or
later the private owner would sacrifice /
a possible future profit 10 the needs of
the present. Another objection TO this

CRITICISMS and complaints received. The
latter have nearly all been perfectly
just and reasonable and were to be ex-
pected in an organization so new, and
which had TO work out each problem as
it arose. III order to appreciate this
feet the history OF the forest service
should be known.
First by Cleveland.
The first forest was proclaimed by
President Cleveland in 1891, and a few
more in the Immediately succeeding
years. but congress made absolutely no
provision for their administration until
1897. y small appropriation. about
$4,000, if / remember correctly, was
then made and the secretary OF the in
terror was empoN cred to eXpend il i'm
the management of the reserves. The
necessity. however, of d practical adj
ministration on the ground, by men ia
miliar with western conditions and the
real object and purpose of the reserves.
was not appreciated, and their admin
istration by this department was a
failure.
Then, early i'm 1865, congress trans
ferred the care of the reserves to the
department of agriculture and created
the forest service to take charge of
them. The real history of the admin
istration of the national forests may,
therefore. be said to date from that
year.
liz the Beginning.
At that time the area Of the forests
AMOUNTED to about 60,C00.0OO acres, and
this area was administered by fifty
supervisors. The greater number of
these men had been appointed for po-
litical reasons, without reference to
their fitness for the position. and the
first work of the new administration

prove the aptitude of each for the
work. ] can confidently assert that for
knowledge of mountains, timber and
grazing, independence of character,
/ loyalty to the government, faithful and
| conscientious service, this body of men
has no equal i'm the United States. The
salaries are low, the work full of hard
| ships and almost wholly lacking in So
ciai advantages, and the men have la
/ ken up the work because they liked II
and have adopted it for a life profess
sion.
J Work of Service.
I In regard TO the work which is being
done by these men: They are protect
| ing from destruction by fire, and SUI
pervising the numbering of something
| like 600 billion feet of timber, under
methods Which will insure a second
| crop of timber within fifty years. The
amount cut last year was about AGO.

| (Which before the forests were created
reached into hundreds of millions of
| feet, and in some years a billion did
not exceed 50,0O0,0O0 feet.
Sheep and Cattle.
| Then there are over 100000 sheep
and 100000 cattle grazing on the for
! est reserves. which the rangers must
/ look after to see that they are fed and
at the same time prevent from over
grazing the range ana I'm so doing de-
crease the productiveness of the soil
or seriously affect the water supply.
! The grazing problem is the one in
] which the greatest number of people
are most directly interested and II is
also the most difficult one to handle.
The conditions on the Uinta forest,
which covers practically all the noun
tain lands in Utah. Wasatch and Sum
NIT counties. may be taken as an ex-
ample. 1t has an area of about $500
000 acres, most of which was included
/ in the forest in the fall of 1905. 1t con-
/ tains what is probably the best sum-
mer sheep range in the west and the
demand for the range far exceeds its
| carrying capacity. Thus, i'm 1906, ap-
| plications were received for about $780,
900 sheep. which is double the number

range and the water supply.
| Four hundred thousand were allowed
on at first, and this number was di-
vided among the applicants according
to the number of years they had pre-
viously used the range, the location of
their place of residence. nearby resi-
dents and the owners of lands in the
vicinity of the forest being given pref
erence.
Large Owners Reduced.
| A large number of applicants who
had never used the range, but who
were considered to have good grazing
rights, were granted permits To do
| this, and not overlook the reserve, the
large owners of sheep were reduced
from to- 20 per cent, depending on the
i size of their herds. During the sum-
mer 1t was found that the number al
lowed on the forest was in excess of
its carrying capacity, and in 1907 the
! total allotment was reduced 70 $50, O00

system arises from the great variety or
interests which are dependent in some
way upon the protection of the forests
and water supply. Very rarely would
the interests of the owner and depend
ent industries coincide ana some read
justment to protect the more important
interests would be necessary. Thus, the
city of Salt Lake was forced, in order
To protect its water supply, TO pur-
chase at great expense the lands on its
watersheds owned by stockmen and
farmers.
Thinks Plan Practicable.
1t seems 20 me. therefore, that the
plan adopted is the most practical and
cxpedient and the one which will prove
wisest in the end. In the. first place,
the government already owns the land.
and. in the second. it is in a far better
position than the states or any private
owners to render efficient administra-
ton. The states, corporations or indi-
viduals engaged in such management
are inevitably hampered by personal or
political ties. From this embarrass-
ment the federal government is COM
paratively free, and it can better see
to it that the greatest benefit to the
Srcatest number is attained.
In spite of what faults there may be
in the policy as established, and the
possibility that congress may change
1t, the government is going ahead ener-
getically in the execution of its forest
policy, and while it is yet too early to
judge that policy fairly, the things ac-
tually accomplished and the increasing
support given by the people affected
are very encouraging, and so far to
prove that no mistake has been made.
In the actual administration Of the
forests many difficulties have, of
course. been encountered and many
