 D. D. Bronson. chief inspector of the forest service of the third district with headquarters at Albuquerque. New Mexico. arrived in Roosevelt Saturday and looked over the work of this dis trict. The forest service which at first was looked after from the Washing ton became too much for this office and the reserves were divided into six districts. Arizona with New Mexico Arkansas and Oklahoma is known as the third district. Clyde Leavitt. as- sistant chief of the organization Of Washington. D. C.. was with Mir Bronson. The service is now engaged in mapping all lands that can be cul- tivated and these will be open for set clement It is the policy of the forest service to grant homesteads on the reservations where an honest living by cUltivating the land can be made. In Arizona there are now eighty-five applications for these tracts and 1t Is probable that at least seventy-five will be granted by the chief supervisor Care is taken that those who home stead a tract do not use timber for other purposes than the improvements on their own land. The service has met with but little opposition in Arl- zona. A few cattlemen have objected
 to the grazing fee but those most largely interested have felt the justice of this measure. The fee Is but thir- ty-five cents a head per year and this is meant to cover only the cost of ad- ministration.
