LACK OF FUNDS
EMBARRASSING


An0 small appropriation provided
for carrying on the forestry work Ia
the Bitter Root reserve has made
necessary many changes In the plans
OF Supervisor F. A. Fsnn. but de-
spits the embarrassment, the. rang
ers this season will construct many
cabins, bridges and about 20 miles
Of government telephone system.
and open miles Of new trails into
the heart of the reserve.
The original plans provided for
the construction of about 1870 miles
OF telephone and the employment of
$50 men during the summer season.
Because Of the action of congress in
reducing the appropriation, the
ranger work is being performed by
so men, and many of the proposed
improvements have been deferred.
The department has expended ap-
proximately $3.50 for grass seeds,
with which the ranges are being re-
newed. and large areas of meadow
land have been seeded to supply hay
for feeding the rangers horses dur
ing the winter season.
Supervisor Fem had recommend
ed the purchase of government
pack train to serve the rangers in
the several districts of the reserve,
but this was made impossible by the
small appropriation, and up to this
time about 5000 has been paid for
packing in the supplies this season
The rangers have erected headquar-
ters cabins throughout the reserve
where range is available, and wher =
meadow lands have been inclosed to
provide hay for the winter season.
These arrangements would provide
feed for the government pack train
and would reduce. the cost of pack
ing the government supplies to a
minimum.
A new feature of the work this
year is the survey of the Indian
timber lands by James Stuart. the
well-known Indian engineer. The
Indian lands consist of approxi-
mately $4,000 acres, and is divided
into about rs parcels, varying from
100 to 5000 acres. The lands have
not only been surveyed, but have
also been carefully inspected and
cruised. 1t is found there are large
sections barren of timber and suita
BILE for both grazing and agricu'-
tural purposes. The report of Su-
pervisor Fem this year will recon-
mend that some steps be taken look
ing toward renting these portions Of
the Indian lands to provide reve
me
The Indian lands are under the
direct control of the department Of
the interior. but the care of the
timber on the same is now under
the forestry department. Previous
to this order the Indian reserves
were treated as common property
and were robbed of large quantities
of valuable timber.
