USE OF NATIONAL
FOREST RESOURCES
ON THE INCREASE

The actual use of the varied resources
of the governments 1853, 1000, 900 acres Of
National Forest land is on the increase,
according to the report of the work for
the fiscal year 1908. The report says
that from an administrative. standpoint
the most striking fact Of the year was
the remarkable increase which took
place in the volume of business transact
ed.
This growth in business. done by the
United States Forest Service last year
over the previous year is partly brought
out in the following statement showing
percentages of increase: in the number
of timber sales, 236 per cent; in the
amount of timber out under sales, 102
per cent; in number of free timber per-
mits, 70 per cent; in number of grazing
permits. II per cent; and in the number
of special-use permits. 81 per cent.
That the additions to existing National
Forests and new creations caused this
increase only to a small extent is shown
by the fact that the area increased Is
only II per cent. In speaking OF this
feature of the work of the Forest Ser
vice in his annual report, the Secretary
of Agriculture says in part:
"The growth in the volume of busl.
ness arising from use of the Forests has
created very serious administrative
problem. Last year 7S per cent of the
time of the administrative and protec
tive forse was taken up by the demands
of National Forest business. The aver
age forest area to each officer supposedly
available for patrol duty was about 12O,
600 acers: but with more than three
fourths of the time of these officers
occupied with timber sale, grazing, and
other business, the force actually avail
able for patrol was equivalent to about
one man to each 100000 acers. That
under these circumstances the fire losses
in a year of exceptional danger were
kept down to very small figure in
comaarison with the value of the timber
exposed and the damage from forest
fires elsewhere is matter of congratu
lation.
The risk incurred, however Is out of
all proportion to the added cost which
more adequate protection would involve.

THE NORTH PARK ExHIelT

The North Park country, that home
that ever set foot in a stock yards, sus-
tained we'll its reputation for producing
the best at the recent stock show. Some
fifteen or twenty of the noted breeders
of this section had animals in the show,
and the orth Park portion of the ex-
hibition was loudly praised on every
hand. Of outstanding quality and in
dividual excellence was the carload Of
two-year-old Hereford feeders shown
by Mallon Bros. These, animals were
considered by many to be the best in
the show, but the judges thought other
wise and put them in second place.
That they we're close second to the
grand champions, however was the YER
dict of everybody who saw them. These
steers were sold at private sale, before
the auction sale of feeders, to w. P.
Carpenter the big feeder of Tarkio. Mis-
souri,, at 50. 60 per hundred, which was
with one exception of the grand cham
pions the highest price paid.
Mark A. Baldwin of the park won
third in the two-year-old class; Andrew
Peterson, fourth, and Frank W. Murphy
fifth. Iu the yearling feeder class, San
born & Dwinell won third prize, and
Vic Hanson won fourth. all from the
Park. In the class for feeders under

company won first. And many other
loads of North Park steers, though not
good enough to win because the classes

BAND OF ANGoRA GOATS TO
LABOR FOR PERMANENT
IMPROVEMENT OF NATIONAL
FORESTS

Three thousand angora goats herded
out on the brushcovered foothills of
California are going to do some hard
work for Uncle Sam during the coming
two years beginning this spring. The
experiment will be unique both as a
stock raising proposition and as an en-
gineering and tree culture problem
The little white animals whose long
wool is of such great value are going to
be put to no less task than construct
ing mile after mile of fire line through
the bushy chaparral growth in the Ma
tional Forests, saving much labor by the
United States Forest Service engineers
and making way for forestation by
merchantable trees. Not the least i'm
portant feature of the experiment, which
for the first two years will be performed
dnring the regular grazing by the goats
which will not even realize they are do
ing a valuable work.
Plans for carrying on the work are
outlined in a cooperative agreement
dawn up by the Forest Service and the
owner of band of angora goats grazing
on the Lassen National Forest of Cali
fornia. The Schme is to run fire lines
parallel with the contour of the slops by
cutting trails about eighty rods apart.
These trails are to serve as guides for
the angoras. They will Craze in each
direction from the trails, killing, it is
estimated, strip of brush about 300
yards wide. The wide lanes cnt out and
grazed by the goats will serve as ideal
fire lines in protecting the forest covered
lands lying beyond and around the chap
arral areas, and also make place for
repodruction of merchantable trees,
For the past two years government
hasbeen carrying on permanent improve
ments in the National Forests on an ex
ensive scale, and the construction of
fire lanes and trails has been one of the
most important features of the work.
irlIe task of clearing the ground and pro
vidng lands for good forest trees is
however, perhaps the most important
benefit expected to come out of the
experiment.
The proposed work Of the angora
goats may finally solve the chaparral
problem which has been troublesome in
the state of California for many years.
The bushy chaparral growth chokes out
seedlings of valuable commercial trees
which may get start and when dry is
one of the worst kinds of fire risks.
Often a small blaze which starts in it
gains such headway in a few minutes us
to travel hundreds of yards and lick into
valuable stands Of merchantable timber.
The protection to be afforded by the
goat built fire lanes, therefore, may at
last bring relief to the state, which in
the past has had its full share of timber
loss through destructive forest fires. AT
the same time, large amount of
chaparral will be killed out to make room
for the growth of good trees that
produce lumber. If proven successful at
the end of two years the work will be
CARED to National Forests in other sec
tions where chaparral has choKed out
good forest trees and created danger

for the care and use Of the National For

and have therefore submitted esti-

for substantial increase in the appro.

business which is certain to take place
during the year, even less protection can
be given than has been given in the past.
indeed, the point has now nearly been
reached at which it is not even a choice

IN REGARDS TO NEW COUNTY

If majority of the taxpayers of
North Park are in favor of being de-
tached from Larimer county andsset off
into a county by them selves, the Cour.
Ter knows of no good and valid reason
why their wishes should not be respect
ed. The population of the Park is large
enough and the assessed value of prop
erty listed in the proposed new county
is great enough to justify the organiza-
tion of seperate county government.
The character of the people is such as to
guarantee the stability and maintenance
of seperute county, and if the people
mp there want it, they should have it.
The park country is steadily growing in
population and wealth of taxable prop
erty, and it is hardship and great
injustice to hold SO large body of in
telligent and thrifty people in county
in which the county seat is 100 miles
away from them and separated by
by chain of mountains that is impass
ible for nearly half of the year. Re-
verse the situation with the county seat
at Walden, and how long would the
people at this end of the county stand it2
Heretofore the people have not been
united in q demand for new county,
majority of the heavy taxdayers being
openly opposed to it, but now, it is un.
derstood, nearly every citizen in the
park is in favor Of being set off into
new county. II this is true. let them go
with a blessing and good wishes.

move. That he favors it and that the
people there are almost unanimously IN
favor of it. He says it probably Will
increase their taxes some, but not as
much as the indirect taxation they now
pay, because of the expense of getting
