AN ENEMY OF FORESTS.
Another Charge Lodged Against the
 Sorcupine.

San Francisco. April 5.-(Special c, rrespondence of The Republican, Reports from Bishop, Inyo county, California, indicate that porcupines are seriously damaging the lodge-pole pine forests of the eastern slope of the Sierras. Practically the entire area of the Inyo national forest has been affected to some extent In many localities the damaged trees aggregate as high as 25 per cent of the total stand. While these areas are not large, it is evident that if something is not done to curb the at tack. most of the timber in that section will be killed.
 The porcupine feeds to large ex- tent during the winter months upon the inner bark of the pine. To se- cure this he travels about upon the snow. and completely girdles the trees just above the snow line. Of course, this results in the death of the tree. The damage would not be 80 serious but for the fact that the porcupine seldom makes two meals off the same tree, but prefers to visit several trees in the course of a night. Since its habits are noe turnal, hunting this animal is very
