the stock during winter.

The forest service also co-operates
with the states, counties and commune
ties, in the construction of wagon
roads, trails, and bridges, which will
make accessible bodies of mature tim
Der, and otherwise assist in the control
and use of the forests. An example Of
this cooperation is the Boise-Atlanta
wagon road. This road connects the
city of Boise, Idaho, with the mining
town of Atlanta, a place of about 300
inhabitants. The road follows up the
Boise river for the entire distance with
the exception of about seven miles,
beginning at a point five miles out from
Boise. The entire length of the road is
about 90 miles. Atlanta is situated in
the Sawtooth mountains and is 90 miles
from a railroad. The former outlet was
by wagon road to the town of Mountain
Home. This road follows over high
mountains and is showed in during six
or seven months of the year.
The Boise-Atlanta road will be snow
ed in for only two or three months of
the year. The road is an old project,
about 40 miles of it having been built
out from Boise some ten years ago.
This work was done by a fund raised
from subscriptions taken in Boise and
Atlanta. In 1905 the road was extend
ed 20 miles, from funds appropriated
by the state of Idaho. This work
brought the road to the boundary of
the Sawtooth national forest, now the
Boise national forest.
During the summer of 1907. the peo-
pie of Atlanta subscribed $500, the
Commercial club of Boise $500, the
state appropriated about $4,000 and the
foest service contributed $4,000 total
of $1s, 900, with which the old road was
put in proper repair, and a little lee
than 90 miles of very difficult mountain
road was constructed through a narrow
canyon which, in many places, had pre-
cipitous walls of rock. The scenery
along this road rivals that of many OF
the scenic highways.
This road opens up a large area OF
national forest heretofore inaccessible,
gives comparatively quick eommunica-
ton between Boise, the state capital,
and Atlanta, and greatly lessons the
length of time that Atlanta will be
shut off from communication with the
outside world.

PROPOSED INCOME TAX

A direct Federal tax has ever been
unpopular with the people, rich as well
as poor. However, an income tax
seems to be popular with the masses,
no doubt due to the fact that the ex
emption would leave them with none
to pay.
Senator Bailey is at present ham
mering away in the senate on the in
come tax amendment to the Payne bill,
10 the great delight of the great ma
loritv of the members of his party. 1t
is not probable, however, that he will
succeed in having his amendment in
corporated in the new tariff law.
There was a time, and there may
possibly come a time again, when an
will necessitate the imposi-
ton Of a tax on incomes. But there IS
no excuse for this unequal taxation at
a time when the country is at peace
and in a prosperous condition. Let the
tariff be adjusted so that the whole
people will help bear the burden OF
government. and have the schedules
sufficiently high to produce enough
revenue to run the government, eco
nomically administered
AS a general proposition it is poor
policy to place a tax on human ambi'
ton and endeavor, and that, in effect
would be the result OF an income tax.

GEORGE wINGFIELD SIGNS
MANY DIVIDEND CHECKS

BY the time George Wingfield gets
through signing his name to the $500
dividend checks for the Consolidated
Mines company, do you know how far
his pen will have travelled?
If the lines in his signature could be
Strengthened out, the latter would
reach IS, 1000 inches, or 1888 feet, or 81
hundreths of a mile. In other words,
the line would be about a mile in
length.
"Just for the fun of the thing a
measurement of the signature of
"George Wingfield,' as signed to q
dividend check, was made. The lines
in these two words, Strengthened out,
would reach almost exactly ten inches.
AS there are $500 checks to go out, the
distance that his pen will have to
travel is $4,000 inches, or 81 plus of q
mile. The fir t upward stroke on the
"G' is more than an inch long itself.
A careful check on the rapidity with
which the young operator signs the
checks has been made. He averaged
nine Signatures a minute for some
time. On Monday he sigend abou a
thousand checks and yesterday about
500. He expects to wind up the en-
tire lot by tonight, although the tack
will keep him close to the mark with
probably more han one change OF pen.
The other signature on each check
is that of A. IL. Howe, the secretary,
who recently finished the big job of
writing his name $500 times. His sig
nature, Strengthened out, makes only
about FIVE inches, or about half that of

WILL CONSTRUCT
new ROADS

Six hundred thousand dollars will be
spent during the fiscal year l90S-l9o9
for the construction of roads, trails,
telephone lines and other permanent
improvements in the national forests.
Congress has appropriated the same
amount for this purpose during the fs-
cal year of 1909-1910.
In order that the forest rangers may
cover the large area contained IN the
district, it is very necessary that a sys-
item of trails be constructed along
routes which give the best control of
the areas to be patrolled. In many
districts telephone lines have been
built between the supervisors office
and ranger headquarters, and to promi-
nent peaks which are used for lookout
stations to observe fires.
To fight forest fires effectively it is
of the utmost Importance that a force
of men be rushed to the fire as soon as
possible. as these fires can be controlled
and put out if taken when they are
small, where it would be almost impos-
sible to check them after they had
spread over a large area. For this
reason the telephone lines and trail
systems are of vital Importance and
have played no small part in the patrol
system which has resulted in the re-
markably small area burned over since
the forests have been under govern
ment supervision.
Among other necessary improvements
provided for, the service takes up the
matter Of the betterment of range con
ditions. First, by the construction of
drift fences, which are for the purpose
Of keeping stock within the area al
lotted to them and to save the time of
the herders. Second, by the improving
of springs and watering places. In
many sections of the west large areas
have been of no value on account Of
the lack of water during a large portion
of the year. BY the fencing and piping
of the springs and providing adequate
storage, the service has been able to
conserve a supply of water which en-
ables these ranges to be used through
out the season. Third, by the fencing
Of bog or mire holes. AS fast as pos
sible. places where the loss of stock
from miring in bog holes has been
heavy are being fenced so that the eat
tie cannot get into them. Fourth,
by the fencing of poisonous areas. In
certain sections of Colorado there is a
poison larkspur which, during the
spring season, will poison stock that
Craze on it. These places are being
fenced and the stock kept away from
the areas until the poisonous season is
over, when they are opened for graz
ing.
All the national forests are divided
into districts which are under the di-
rect supervision of a forest ranger who
looks after the timber cutting and graz
ing matters, and patrols his district to
detect and prevent forest fires. As the
national forests are located IN noun
famous and timbered country and have
but few settlements within their boun-
daries, it is necessary to provide these
rangers with quarters convenient to
the districts over which they have
charge. These quarters consist of a
small house, a stable for his saddle
horses, a fence enclosing a pasture for
his stock, and occasionally, the fencing
of a small garden patch and a small
piece of hay land to provide fadder for
