tLIENsRuRG KITTIrAs County, WASH. DECEMBER

When you buy lot in the city, YOU
pay for piece of ground say 60xl 20 feet.
The streets and allies are laid out then
and made separate and apart from the
lots and blocks. When you buy farm
say l6O acres, you buy part of the
road on one or two sides, and of course
pay for your part of the road as the
law does not provide roads, but so
much roadway is to be taken from
each section of land Each section of
land contains $40 acres, and IA county
and state road can and should be made
ON each section line wherever needt d,
but the land laws do not set aside
strip of land go x 80 feet wide for roads
between each section for road purposes,
no, 1t must cut from the land on each
side of the section line. But il is diff
ferent in laying out town. The
streets are laid out first and then comes
the blocks and then the lots and allies.
Hence from our view point, it is but
just and fair that the entire city should
pay for the paving of the streets, the
same being public property and the
benefits material to all property and
property owners
The above is our solution to the paw
ing question and we believe 1t is one in
which most people at least, will agree
with us and while we may be in error,
we believe that it is the only just if not
legal way, that We can proceed in the

FOrsst Service Keeps Track of Losses.

In the future the forest service will endeavor to obtain complete reports as to the causes of all losses of live stock upon the national forests. For est guards and rangers have been in- structed to keep strict account of all live stock found dead in their dis tricts, reporting to the forester at the end of each month the number found and listing the causes of death as far as possible under one of the four heads-accident, disease, poison and wild animals.
 It is believed that such a record will be of great value to stockmen in assisting them to figure up the per centage of their losses and materially aiding them in preventing some of the losses through corrective meas ures. For instance, if an unusually large number of stock are found dead in some particular locality, due to poison from dangerous plants, it will be possible to meet this condition by fencing up the area, or perhaps digging up the poisonous plants.
 If several animals are found killed by wild animals in some lone canyon. the hunter employed for that pur- pose, or the ranger himself can in- vestigate the matter and either trap, poison, or shoot the mountain lion or other predatory animal re- sponsible for the damage. The rangers and guards are constantly riding over their districts in the for ests and have better opportunities for finding dead live stock than the stockman himself and as each forest ranger is supplied with the brands of all stock in his district, he can gen. orally identify the stock Ly the brands and marks and thus advise the owners.
